Alone In The Dark (a Thomas Brodie-Sangster fanfic)

CHAPTER 2: Alone

I didn't move once. Not to check my phone, eat or use the toilet. I just sat there in silence. My eyes were hurting. I cried and cried until there was nothing left. The sky got darker and I still did nothing. I wasn't hungry. I wasn't thirsty. I wasn't tired. After a while I looked at the clock. 3:47am. I should go to bed but I didn't. I just sat. I don't know why but I did. I guess a part of me was hoping for Isabel to come back but then I remember her note. She doesn't want to see me again. She hates me. A few hours pass by. The sun slowly came up and birds started chirping. My mouth was dry so I finally got up and slowly made my way to the kitchen. I didn't want water, squash, coke. I was going through the fridge and I notice some beer bottles right at the back. I got them all out and went back to my sofa. I opened one and took a few swigs. It was extremely strong but I could cope. In about half an hour I'd drunk 5 bottles. What was wrong with me? Soon after, I ran out. I sat there a bit longer. I had the idea to go to the local co op and buy some more. I didn't get changed. I just got my car keys and left. I picked up 10 packs of six in and the shop keeper asked if I was having a party. I nodded and waited. He handed me the bags and said "have a good time." I nod my head again and try to smile.

Once I got back home, I sat back down and started drinking. They lasted a few days. It was 4 days ago that she left. I hadn't slept, eaten, washed or anything. All I did was drink. Drink and drink and drink until I ran out again. I was questioning whether or not I should by some more until the front door opened again. Isabel!!! I sat up. She walked through the door. I opened my mouth to ask what she was doing, but before a noise came out she said "I'm coming to get my stuff. I'll be quick. Mark is waiting outside." I turn round confused "Who is Mark." I call out. There was a few seconds of silence and then she walked back into the room. "Mark's my new boyfriend." She replies with a smirk. My heart sinks. She has replaced me so quickly. "Well bye. Hope i never see you again" she says without looking at me. The door slams and it's back to silence.

What was my point in this world if people are going to replace me so quickly. I get up and leave. I don't take anything with me apart from my phone. I don't think where I'm going. All I know is I want to leave this world. Forever....
