(Ethan Pov) I woke up to a feeling of a cold breeze and no one beside me. I slowly open my eyes and it was still dark outside. I sat up and the balcony door was open. Alex was gone but I had no idea where to but I figured he was out to get something. I got up and suddenly was disturbed by the door opening and seeing Alex in a winter coat and scarf. "Come on get dressed we're going out." He seemed awfully excited which is scary. "Sure sure." I got dressed in some thick clothes as it was freezing cold. He pulled me into the elevator and outside. Outside was a forest green old car. It was absolutely stunning. "Jesus, did you rent a car or something?" I asked as I gently touched the car. "No I inherited it from my old man. He's not dead but I guess I just got it." "So he gifted it to you is what you mean." "Yeah. Well Anyways do you like it?" He asked. "Fuck yeah I do. It's gorgeous." "It's a 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham or something . Well that doesn't matter. Let's take it for a ride alright? Breakfast's in the car." He got into the drivers seat. I got in and he places a bag with croissants on my lap. There wasn't a cup holder so he just made me hold the cups while he drove. "Where are we going anyway?" I asked and looked at him. "Just some place." Well this was kind of weird. Some place. We drove for an awful long time and all I saw was trees and sometimes a village or two. At some point I fell asleep and laid there but got woken up by Alex kissing my cheek. I grabbed his face and kissed his lips instead. He smiled against my lips. He smelled so good. He got out of the car and I followed him.

(Omg alex) We were in a snow covered forest and in front of us was some abandoned overgrown factory. "Lets go." He said. Normally going here wouldn't be really all too romantic but honestly it was so pretty here. We went inside and I looked around. We definitely weren't the first ones to intrude based on the graffiti on the walls and some empty beer bottles. It didn't snow inside but there were huge windows and some of them were broken so it was still quite cold inside. Suddenly it hit me that we're in the middle of nowhere in a place where no one can really hear us besides the forest animals. Was Alex gonna do something to me? "Ethan why do I feel like you don't actually need drugs?" "Excuse me?" "I mean you sleep well, eat well, act normal and you still shower and shit. I think you're just taking drugs for the thrill." I mean I kinda felt like dying but I kinda felt like that before the drugs too. Maybe I really was just stupid. "I did bring stuff. Don't worry." I have no idea what's going on in Alex's head. Sometimes it felt as if he said stuff just so he can say something which is okay with me but sometimes it was a little awkward. "So what exactly are we doing here?" I asked and walked towards him. I liked our height difference. "Oh right! There should be a piano somewhere." He said and began walking somewhere and I just followed him. "Can you play? Like can you play the piano?" I asked. "Yeah, why else would we go?" He teased. I didn't know he can do that. He did tell me that he only let me see the things he wanted me to see so I probably didn't even know him that well. My stalking was just a waste of time. We had to walk about 10 minutes until we found some old piano which was covered in moss. "You sure you can still play that thing?" I asked with a scoff. Alex sat down on the wooden chair in front of the piano and opened the part that covered the keys. "It probably won't sound that great." Alex looked at me but then started pressing down on some keys before beginning to actually play something. I listened and figured it was something by Vivaldi or something. I knew he listened to classical songs which I really like about him. He is a little special despite everything else being bland about him. Actually he wasn't that bland. I watched his elegant fingers as he played. Soon enough I found some box and sat on it to watch him. When he finished I clapped and smiled at him. "You're an amazing pianist." "Really? Thanks." I got up and places my hand on his waist. "It's cold. Do you wanna stay here all day? I don't mind but I think it'd be nice if we had a fire or something." "Eth do you ever think about Mary when you're with me?" "What?" "You heard me." Well of course I do. But is it really smart to tell him at a place like this? "No. I don't think about her unless you begin talking about them." "I don't want you to think about them anymore. Ever Ethan. Just think about me." He put on his gloves and grabbed my hands. "Only me okay?" "Alex I swear I will only think about you but please lets make a fire or go sit in the car at least." Alex nodded and kissed my jaw. We went back into the car and got into the backseats. We ended up cuddling for a few minutes. Alex was on my lap and in my arms. It was a little warmer in tje car but our breath was still visible. "Do you want something?" Alex suddenly asked and tried to look up at me. "No. I think I want to stop. You know?" I said. "You say that a lot lately. Then stop dude." Alex said. He seemed awfully annoyed. "I'm trying." I kinda wanted help. I needed it secretly but decided if I just stop I can stop. I never was the type to get addicted anyways. I'm not an alcoholic and I don't really smoke so I'm pretty sure I can stop. Alex and I ended up cuddling and walking around for a bit before returning to our apartment. I wonder why Alex even lived there. Im sure that he could easily afford a house if he wanted to have one or a better apartment.
