Someone was knocking on my door. I rolled my eyes as I slammed the bottle of alcohol on the countertop and sluggishly headed towards the door.

With every step I took I felt the room get blurrier.. my vision was definitely impaired. But I still had an idea of where I was going as I found the door and turned the knob, slowly swinging it open.

I couldn't see who was standing in front of me so I reached my hand out to feel their face as my hands met silky hair that eventually lead me to shoulders and then a familiar voice.

"Mattia"

It was Ava. I groaned as I left the door open and turned around, walking back to the bottle of alcohol I had left in the kitchen. But I heard the door shut behind me , followed by the clanking of footsteps .

I didn't want to deal with her. She was the reason why I was like this.

"Leave" i said as I brought the bottle to my lips

"No"

I could see her getting closer to me and then she snatched the glass tube of whiskey out of my hand. I went to reach for it when she dumped it in the sink.

I slammed my hand on the counter and went to approach her when she raises her arms at me as if she's afraid . Why was she afraid

I would never hurt her.. even when intoxicated. I couldn't hurt anyone I cared for.

I go to take her hand when she yells at me

"No! Don't fucking touch me, Mattia! I can't believe you! Drinking? Really?"

"It's your fault" I sighed as I planted my lips into a thin line

"How. How is this my fault" I see her body turn as her hands are set in the air. She begins pointing around the room and throws random items off the ground in the air as I observe her. Tissues and empty food boxes.

She scoffs. "Like this" she picks up a juul from a table and shakes it in the air. I stare as it slowly falls out of her reach

"Be careful with that!" I yell as I walk over to her when she throws it on the ground and steps on it continuously until I hear it crack.

"Ava!"

She lifts her foot revealing the shattered pod

"My boyfriend... is a fucking pig! A pig who doesn't care about himself!"

"Then leave me! Go find someone else then!"

"Oh wouldn't you love that? So you could go fuck that ex girlfriend of yours!"

"Why are you so stuck on her!"

"Because you saw her and you probably felt those feelings you felt for her before!"

"I don't like her! I told you that before!"

She sighs and rests her hand on her head.

"Why're you here. To annoy the shit out of me?" I ask as watch her her suck on her teeth

"To apologize . But clearly you're too drunk to remember any of it in the morning"

"Just go" I say

"Okay. I'll go call Dawn for you" she says with sarcasm rolling off the tip of her tongue as she heads towards the door

"Stop with that! Just stop! You know she left me why would I run back to her. I've matured! I'm not the same guy I was six years ago"

She looks back at me and through the blurriness of the room I see her frown and approach me slowly. With her gorgeous black off the shoulder top fighting with my eyes

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like this. Can we just" she sighs. "Can we just try to make this work"

She puts her arm on my shoulder and the first thing I think of doing is kissing her. Wrapping my arms around her

Although she has the jealous mentality I despise, she's been besides me since my lowest and current dark moment. She's definitely changed since we got together. She's been more... protective. But I care about her so much

She's had me forget about Dawn. Until of course, I saw her

She wraps her arms around me for a hug when I lift her by her waist on the countertop and press my lips to hers. I quickly move down to her neck leaving wet marks when she stops me and lifts my face so we're eye to eye. Her blue jems have won dominance over my hazel ones

"Not when you're drunk"
