LOUIS' POV

"You're a cheater." he said in a cold, emotionless and calm voice.

I knew this was not going to end well.
"It's not what you think! Just let me expla-"

"NO. THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN! YOU ARE A CHEATER. YO-YOU CHEATED ON ME!" he screamed.

"And maybe this is not the first time. I don't even know how long you've been cheating on me." he whispered the last part.

I can't think straight. He thinks that I've cheated on him. He thinks I've been cheating on him. I can feel my whole world falling apart.
But I try again, hoping that maybe, maybe he would understand?

"Baby its no-"

"Don't call me baby. I'm not your baby anymore" he says, returning to his cold emotionless voice.

By now tears have started spilling from my eyes. I can't control them anymore.

"Please" I begged.

"Get out." he said sternly.

"Wh-what?"

"I said GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND NEVER COME BACK. WE ARE DONE. YOU'VE BEEN WHORING AROUND SINCE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN AND- GOD! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID! JUST GET OUT LOUIS AND NEVER COME BACK IN MY LIFE AGAIN. I HATE YOU LOUIS! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"

I stand there dumbstruck.
He called me a whore.
He "believes" that i have been cheating on him.
He's breaking up with me!
He dosent want me in his life anymore. He hates me.
He-

I woke up shaking and breathing heavily. Cold sweat dripping out of my body. Not the same nightmare again! I sighed frustratingly trying to steady my breathing.

After calming down a bit, I padded towards the bathroom to take a shower.
Its nothing new. Every night I try to fall asleep and even if I fall asleep after a lot of struggles and consuming weird amount of sleeping pills, these nightmares (or should i say flashbacks) wake me up. I sigh and turn on the shower after getting undressed; without checking the temperature. The sudden coldness of water startle me but i keep standing because I know that I'll get used to it. I get used to everything; pain; sorrow... Everything.

I walk out of the shower and without bothering to put any piece of cloth on, reach my fridge and retrieve a beer can. I know I shouldn't drink. Or smoke. I know excessive smoking or drinking will worsen my condition; I mean, they have really bad effects on people's lungs and kidneys. But who cares anyway. I need instant relief and what can be a better option than alcohol? After gulping down the beer i felt sort of relaxed. Sort of. Throwing the can somewhere inside the kitchen I walked back to my bedroom. I reached the nightstand to get my phone and found out it was only 2 AM. I know I will have a hard time falling asleep but I get under the duvet anyways after putting on a boxer. Slowly and gradually I drift off to sleep that consisted of major flashbacks and memories.
