"Can I have another one?"

"Jess, that's like your 5th one."

"I know, but it just makes me happy, I feel like there's nothing going on in my life."

"Ok. Fine. Here," he handed me another can, "So, Jess, when are you gonna tell me why your all upset?"

"It's a long story," I said, slurring every word coming out of my mouth.

"Well, your drinking all my beer, the least you can do is tell me. Huh?"

"Matthew, it all started about 3 weeks ago," I said laying my hand on his thigh, " I was dating someone for like 2 years and I found out they've been cheating on me. I was a disaster. I was so upset, I honestly thought we were gonna be together forever," the words coming out incomprehensible.

"Forever? Bro, it was that serious? I mean, he cheated on you so obviously he didn't take the relationship as serious as you."

"That's why I was so upset, Matthew. It worked for me, and I was hoping it was for him too," I kicked the sand below me trying to get my mind off of how cold I am.

"So, may I ask, why? You know, why did he cheat? I don't want to be rude but-"

"No, no, it's fine, Matthew. He said everything was happening too slow, whatever that means, I just wasn't ready for anything else, you know?"

"I understand, I don't blame you."

"The worst part of it all, was the fact that he cheated on me with, Shae, my ex-bestfriend."

"Ooooo, that hurts. Come here, you look cold," he gestured his hand for me to come over by him.

I got up and slowly walked over, I mean after all I'm as drunk as you could get. I grabbed everything I could to help keep me up. I finally sat down on his lap and laid my head on his shoulder.

He wrapped his arms around me tightly, keeping me safe and warm.
