I woke up when they announced we were almost there. "Here we are" "Miami, Florida." Once I got off the plane I drove to our house. I unlocked the door and set my things down. I slumped on the couch and I slept that whole day. I checked my phone only to see if my dad had texted. Instead I saw a text from Romeo that said as follows:
I ignored it and blocked him. I got up to go grab the liquor in my kitchen. I remember stumbling to try and find the remote but then I blacked out. This continued for a month straight. Until one day I woke up and my liquor cabinet was empty. I got up to grab a hoodie and I threw it on then I headed out to the liquor store. I walked in and said "what's the strongest you've got?" The cashier looked at me then said "Sweetie, alcohol can only temporarily take care of what you're feelin." I stood dumbfounded and said "I know but maybe it'll help a little" she smiled at me and hugged me. I never felt more safe in my entire life. I started crying as this lady held me. "Now what happened, sugar?" She asked. I ofc told her the whole story and she told me "It was the heat of the moment and you both were hurtin" "You better go get him before it's too late." So I took that chance and I bought a plane ticket to go back.
