Old Hallways, New Hearts

Drunken Breakups

Selenes POV

"You fucked up." Zarina says as she changes out of her scrubs and into sweats.

"You don't think I know that? I panicked ok? And by the time it registered what I said, she was already out the door." I say laying starfish on her bed.

"Why did you tell her you that you're engaged?"

"Because I am Rina, atleast still according to my homophobic, racist parents and his."

"I still don't understand how they still think you guys are together after two years of not showing up to a single event together." She says scoffing.

I shrug. "You know them, they want their daughter to be with a man who is successful, rich and comes from a good family."

"Don't forget white." She adds.

"Oh that's the best part, right!" I say fake enthusiastic and rolling my eyes.

"And Jordyn is literally none of those, well except successful. But not the way they will want."

"Rina what do I do?" I start to tear up and she sits on the bed to hold me.

"Well you need to talk to her. She just thinks you guys are engaged after you getting in a relationship with her Selene. You and I know that's not true."

I shake my head. "You didn't see how she looked at me Ri. She didn't say a word. She just left and then dropped me off at her place to get my car."

"Atleast she didn't leave you stranded, right?"

"She's not going to talk to me."

"Just give her some time but let her know you need to atleast explain. I'm gonna get wine. I say take the day off. It's Friday anyway." She says and I nod.

She gets up to walk out. "Wait." I say stopping her. "Get the whiskey instead."

She gives a sympathetic look. "It's that kinda night?" And I just nod. She nods and walks out.

I sigh and open my phone to text her.

Me: baby please allow me to explain. I panicked and I didn't tell you everything
Baby❤️: read just now

I sigh at the her ignoring me. I get up and strip into my robe and silk pajamas I only wear around the house to feel cute. And right now I feel like shit. I put my hair in a messy bun and take out my contacts and put on my glasses.

I walk out and see Zarina on the couch with a glass ready for me. "Did you text her?" I nod solemnly. "And?" I look at her tears forming again and shake my head. "Aww. Drink." She says and puts the glass to my mouth and I gulp the burning alcohol.

"Oh my god!" I cough out and she laughs chugging hers down. "You are insane!"

"And I love you and I hate when you're sad. Drinking makes you not so sad." She says pouring me another glass. I'm getting fucked up tonight.

12 AM

"Don't call her!" Zarina yells as she chases me around the apartment while I have my phone in my hand.

"Why noooot?" I whine.

"Because you're drunk Selene! She's not going to want to talk to you especially if you're drunk." She says and jumps over the couch to jump on me and taking my phone.

"Rina please? I just want to talk to her." She sighs and hands me my phone.

"You better hope she loves you." She says and goes back in the couch.

I smile and go to her contact and call her. Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Hey it's Jordyn, I can't come to the phone right now but you know what to do. Beep. "Hey baby, I'm sorry. Please let me explain. Hiccup. Fuck im drunk. Bye baby." I end the call and sigh that I couldn't talk to her.
