Skinny Love - Paul Aron

01 - It's Freezing!

Willow, Monaco, 03:42 am, Sunday, 26th May

"I'm getting tired of your bullshit Willow." Tyler says holding the steering wheel tighter.

"How come you are the tired one?" I say gripping on my purse. "I'm not the one who goes MIA for five days, without telling anyone and expect everyone to be happy without any explanation!"

"Stop being a paranoid bitch!" He yells.

"How am I being paranoid? You left out of nowhere, I think I have the right to ask where and why." I yell back.

"You're assuming I did something?" He looks at me with an angry expression.

"I wasn't until you refused to tell me why the fuck you disappeared!" I say looking at him.

"I don't have to tell you." He says. "You're being a manipulative bitch."

"What? How? For caring for my boyfriend, you asshole?" I scream, tears forming in my eyes.

"Get lost..." He says as he stops the car.

"What?" I whisper, is he being serious?

"You heard me." He says pointing at my door. "Get the fuck out!" He's yelling again at this point.

"Fine." I say and slam the door shut, I watch him go, when the car is out of my point of vision I burst down in tears.

I can't fucking believe he did this. I start looking for my phone in my purse, I have to call someone. The task is harder than usual because my hands are shaking and my vision is blurry. When I finally found it I have two other problems, who am I gonna call and how am I going to fucking see anything on my phone? I could call my father, but he and mum are probably sleeping already. I could call Sofia, but she doesn't have a license. My brother! That's it! I don't want to disturb him, but he's the most likely to be awake.

I searche for his number, the phone rings 1...2 times and his voice is heard. "Hi?" He asks, okay, he wasn't sleeping not so bad.

"Ollie..." I say letting a sob escape.

"Willow? Where are you?" He asks.

"By the Casino." I say between sobs.

"5 minutes, Lilo." He says and I can hear the door closing. "Call Sofia meanwhile."

And I do. I cry to her and explain everything and she tries to calm me down. "Willy, forget him, like literally, forget he even exists."

"10 months down the drain." I whisper.

"Forget him!" I hear a honk and I see that it's Ollie. "Go bean, I love you!"

"Love you too." I say as I open the door and hang up.

"Who?" He asks.

"Tyler." I say simply

"That motherfucker!" He says looking at me before starting the car.

I let out a sigh. The car is silent.

"You know that you can tell me anything you want to, right?" He asks.

"I know, it's just..." I breathe in and out. "It seems like everything we did together was for nothing."

"It's okay Lilo, he didn't deserve you." He says parking the car. "Let's get you inside. It's too cold and this has been a long night."

"Yeah, it's freezing!" I say.

We enter the lobby of the hotel and make our way to the lift and press my floor. As we arrive I open the door and get in. Ollie enters right after, I suppose to make sure I'm fine.

"Thanks Olls." I hug him.

"It's my duty as your brother to make sure you're safe." He says kissing the top of my head.

"Can you stay? The room has two beds, I expected Tyler t-" He interrupts me.

"What? Who? Don't know what you're talking about." He says making his way to the bed. He went to get me after he got out of a night out, so he's wearing pjs. I go to the bathroom to change, take of my makeup and brush my teeth, the shower will be a future me problem, I leave and lie on my tummy in bed, I look at Ollie and he says. "Nighty night, Lilo!"

"Nighty night, Olls!" I reply, soon after falling asleep, a dreamless sleep.
