You and Simon met at fifteen and now you’re finally ready to move in with each other at nineteen.

You rent a shitty one bedroom apartment. It’s awful but it’s your home for now. After only one month of living here today you got your period. Of you’ve discussed it lightly with Simon in the past four years but it’s always been quite private to you.

At six am you wake up before Simon noticing the blood on your pyjama trousers and sheets. Anxiety and embarrassment bubbles in your stomach. Unknowingly Simon beside you his smooth scarred chest exposed.
