You sat up in your bed with a gasp, looking around in the darkness as you stretch over to turn on your bedside lamp.
You tapped your phone screen, seeing it was two thirty in the morning.
There was a knock again, and you quickly realize that it was coming from someone at your front door.
"What the hell?" You mumble as you kick the blankets off of your body, "Who could possible be knocking on my door at two thirty in the frickin' morning?"
You wrapped your arms around yourself as you walk to your front door. Everything shifted when you looked through the window to see Johnnie standing there alone.
You quickly opened the door, "Johnnie? What's-" you stop, immediately noticing his red nose and puffy eyes, "Johnnie."
"C-can I come in?"
You nod, stepping out of the way. You walked forward to close the door, turning around to face him. You stayed silent, knowing exactly why he was there.
He takes a deep breath, his voice cracking as he speaks, "I-I'm sorry for showing up.. like this.. I know it's.. I know it's late."
You shake your head, walking up to him, "It's okay, J."
"We broke up."
Your heart sinks into your stomach as you hear the sobs slip through his lips.
You extend your arms out, stepping in to pull him into your body. Your arms cradle his head as he sobs into your shoulder, "W-we were fighting.. all night.."
"I'm sorry." You gently scratch the back of his head, "I'm so sorry."
His arms wrap around your waist, pulling you in tighter, "I-I didn't know where else to go.. and I just.. you always help and I know we've been distant and I-"
"Johnnie." You lean back slightly, "I'm always here. You know that. Do you want to talk about it?"
He nods against your shoulder and you nod, "Okay. Come on." You wrap your arm around his waist and lead him into your living room, "Do you need anything?"
He shakes his head, wiping his cheeks with his hands, "No, no. I just-" he scoffs, "We were so good." He looks up at you, "So good, and then.. she just.. changed? I don't even know if that's the right word for it."
"Start from the beginning, J." You tilt your head as you bring your legs up onto the couch and face him, "I have off tomorrow, so don't worry about keeping me up."
