kayden was always a broken, vulnerable soft boyfriend, and you were his safe place. One night, it was 2 AM, and you were sound asleep when your phone started ringing. It was your boyfriend, Kayden.

"love, it's 2 AM, what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" you said, picking up the phone. Instead of his usual reply, you heard his soft sobs, the sound of his parents fighting echoing in the background.

"Your parents again?" you asked, your voice calm now, trying to keep the worry at bay.

"Baby, can you please stay on the phone?" he asked, his voice breaking, and you could feel the weight of his fear and loneliness through the line.

"Of course, I’m here," you replied softly, your heart aching for him. You could picture him curled up in bed, overwhelmed by the chaos around him.

"I just... I don’t want to be alone right now," he admitted, vulnerability spilling out as he struggled to keep it together.
