The Strings Between Us

26th-To be left alone.

'Neil'

I caught the stumbling man.

He looked up at me surprised and shook his head in a funny way as if trying to confirm if I'm actually there or not.

I shook his shoulders, 'Neil, I'm here' I assured.

His face cracked up as he held mine in his hand and shook it like old aunties do.

'Nessa, what are you doing here ?'

'Why do you think I'm here? I've been searching for you!' I screamed as he walked ahead.

He turned and gave me a thumbs up and walked so clumsily that he almost fell.

'Jeez, you don't drink now do you ?' I asked wrapping his shoulder around my neck.

He faked hurt or maybe it was real, I couldn't tell with drunk Neil.

'Why did you say that ? Of course I drink, I'm 18' he exclaimed, sounding disappointed.

'I'm 18, you hear me ?!' He screamed before I could say anything.

'Neil-'

'No, you don't talk to me, I don't need you in my life do you get it ? I don't need you around me, I don't need anyone!' he yelled.

'Neil, stop screaming! I didn't do anything, I'm trying to help you !' I argued.

'Just leave me alone, okay ? I'll be fine on my own.'

He seemed to be coming back to his senses as he walked towards me and held my hand,

'Leave before I say something I'll regret.'

He took a sip from the bottle and I left before the guilt of leaving him settled in, if he wanted to be left alone, I'll leave him.

New update :))))
