Night comes around and this girl just won't leave. Marie keeps yapping on and on about herself, it's already late and she doesn't even think about going home.
Bing!
I open my phone, somewhat listening to Marie talk.

Shit. She's coming, and Marie's here. God. I text her back, hoping that she's just kidding.

She doesn't respond
"Who're you talking to?" Marie asks, i hesitantly reply
"A friend"
"You're bored listening about me huh?" She says, crossing her arms
"No no, it's fine. Though it IS getting a bit late, shouldn't you be going home?"
"I don't want to go home. The people there don't really listen to me and i hate it."
I was surprised by that response, i thought that things were fine back home- i mean back at her home, not mine.
"They?"
"Oh rightt, i haven't told you about my girls have i?"
"Girls???" I ask, shocked
"Yeah, i have twin gals and a boy, they're around 6 and my fiance is home watching them, i think."
"You think?"
"You ask a lot of questions don't you? All you gotta know is that they're fine and that's that."
I guess she's re-marrying? Honestly, i haven't listened to her at all. I kinda feel bad, like a horrible friend.
I finally start to tune in on what Marie's saying when i suddenly got a notification from my phone.
Bing!

I stare at my phone, couldn't believe that she actually went through with what she said. I look up at Marie, she seems to notice that i'm looking at my phone again.
"Marie, i-"
"Just stop looking at your phone, i'm talking here."
"Let me reply first"
I start to text Oliver.

I turn off my phone, feeling somewhat better at least.
At least now i know that she's gonna go out alone or idk with some other girl, which truthfully isn't any better but it's not like we're a thing anyway so who cares? I'm with Marie right now anyway and she's good company as any I GUESS-
But now that i think about it-
CRASH
Suddenly a loud noise came from downstairs, Marie and i stare at each other. We both stand up and Marie moves away from the door, i walk towards the door. After all, it's my house right? My shop. Aint nobody gonna steal MY fucking money.
Knock knock
I step away from the door, and it slowly opens.
Oliver!
What the fuck?
"Sorry to be a bad guest but, i think this is mine for tonight"
She grabs my wrist, i freeze in place, not really knowing what to do. Marie stares at us, dumbfounded.
She starts to drag me down the stairs, looking back every once in a while to check if i'm fine or if i'd trip. Once i finally understood what was happening, i start to fight back
"Hey wait, my friend"
She doesn't say anything, only continues to drag me through my own house. We reach the front door and her grip starts to get loose, i pulled my arm and i was free from her grip
"Oliver what the hell? This is my door that you broke down. What the fuck??"
"You're free now right?"
"Is that all you care about?"
"Yes."
I can hear Marie running downstairs, she yells
"HEY WAIT, that's my friend you're man-handling there. Aint nobody gonna man-handle her like that."
"She your girlfriend?" Says Oliver, not really giving Marie much thought
My face turns red, embarrassed and mad.
"You need to leave." I say to Oliver
Her face turned from bitchy to pissy, she grabs my wrist again and drags me out. Marie stops at my now broken front door.
She's real fucking strong. What in the fuck.
"Marie, just go home. I'll be fine" i yell, she gives me a thumbs up and starts to go inside to take her belongings
After asking a lot of questions during the walk, none of which she answered, i start to recognize the path. It's the place i showed her yesterday.
I stayed quiet throughout the walk, every time i ask a question, she squeezes my wrist and it's starting to hurt
When we got to the top, she finally let go of my hand
"When i ask you if you're free, you say yes. I don't take no for an answer, Cherish."
I nod, shivers running down my spine.
"And what are you gonna do about my door?"
"Leave it, i'll get you a new one later"
"Jesus."
We both walk in, me walking in front of her. I take a seat on the edge again, she follows.
"It's cold."
She takes off her hoodie and hands it to me
"Wear it, i don't need it"
I grab her hoodie and put the hood on my head, leaving the rest hanging from my head.
"I said, wear it you dumbass"
Embarrassed, i quickly put it on.
I didn't say much that night, and honestly everything else was a blur.
