"BUT WE STILL LOOKING FOR LOVE"
"ty stop!" i yelled as i dodged the wine bottle that was chucked at my head by my angry boyfriend, ty.
"i'm not gonna stop until you tell me where the fuck you were at!"
"i was out with some friends!" i repeated for what felt like the millionth time. "i told you this already why are you overreacting?"
"i swear to God if your lying to me right now y/n, i'll kill you."
i rolled my eyes before pushing past him. "i'm not lying to you, stupid bastard."
"what you call me?!" he asked incredulously.
i whipped around and got all up in his face. "you heard me, i called you a stupid bastard. i'm sick and tired of you making big arguments out of little things because of your insecurities. i'm done."
"what do you mean you're done?"
i ignored him and made my way upstairs into my closet, grabbing a large backpack and filling it with my essentials.
"where are you going?" he asked as he watched me back my back.
"i don't know yet. it's not gonna be here though."
"you not leaving me y/n!" ty yelled as he started unpacking my bag.
i rolled my eyes and pushed him out of the way, making him fall down to the ground.
"i'm sick and tired of your bullshit ty. i'm not bout to stay here and let you disrespect me any longer than you already have. i'm done."

about 2 hours have past since i left the house. i thought i would better but honestly i felt worse. the fact that i had nobody to go to since family was out of state didn't hit me until i was already long gone.
thankfully i had brought some money so i stopped at the nearest diner to grab something to eat.
i walked into the diner and the chime from the door made the receptionist shoot up from her little nap. she plastered a kind smile on her face as i walked over to her podium.
"welcome to Kenny's!" she greeted cheerfully. "how may i help you?"
"just here for a quick meal. may i have a menu please?"
"of course!" she handed one of the menus. "just call for me when ever your ready to order."
i thanked her and grabbed the menu before walking over to the bar and sitting on one of the stools. i looked through the menu quietly until i heard the chime of the door again.
i looked back and saw a man around my age, maybe a little older, with piercings on his lips and eyes and a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. the thing that stood out to me most was his black eye, it looked someone had punched him there multiple times.
i guess he could feel me looking at him because he turned his head and locked eyes with me for about 2 seconds. i quickly turned my head around and payed attention to my menu, trying to ignore what just happened.
while picking what i wanted to eat, i felt the stool next to me move. i looked and saw the man that i had locked eyes with earlier looking down at his menu as well.
"you know i saw you staring at me over there." he told me. his voice was deep and quiet. it was soothing in a way.
"o-oh." i stuttered. "i didn't mean to it's just your-,"
"my black eye?" he cut me off and i nodded. "yeah...my girlfriend did that."
i leaned forward and traced my finger along the outline of the bruise. "she got you good."
he chuckled. "i know right. well since i told you about my bruise, tell me about yours." he pointed to a blue mark on my forearm.
"oh that." i looked down at it. "it was from my boyfriend, well ex boyfriend now."
"oh." he muttered and then smiled lightly. "i guess we're both in sticky situations."
i chuckled and nodded. we sat in a comfortable silence before he broke it again.
"you know what's crazy?" i asked and i shook my head.
"it's obvious me and you were born to be alone. like, our relationships are clearly toxic. but we still stay, looking for love."
"i guess we're lovesick." i smiled lightly.
he laughed and looked at me and smiled. i took that as a time to really admire his features. he was a really attractive person.
before i knew it i was grabbing his hands and pulling him closer to me.
"what are you-," but i cut him off before he could continue.
"i need you to do something for me." he nodded for me to continue explain.
"i need you to break up with your girlfriend. you don't deserve to be in a toxic relationship any longer than you already have."
"okay...but where will i go when i do? i don't have any family here."
i grabbed a tissue out from the dispenser in front of me and pulled a pen out from my bag. "here's my number." i handed him the tissue. "when your out, call me."
"thank you." he said while putting the paper in his pocket. "oh by the way, i never got your name."
"oh your right." i facepalmed myself. "y/n l/n, nice to meet you!" i extended my hand and he shook it.
