At about nine o'clock, Nick gets up and leaves to go home. I want him to stay. I want him to stay and I can't tell him that. Not because it's late and he has to get to bed, but because I love him. I came back from my trip this winter early to see Nick. I was so lonely without him.
I couldn't stand being without him. Without his kind eyes and welcoming smile. So I came back.
Just forget about him already. He'd think you're insane if he ever found out, I think as I reach for another bottle of alcohol. I know I told Nick I'd stop, and I will, but just for tonight I want to forget how I feel. This will be the last time I drink too much. I promised Nick.
