You were beyond frustrated with your boyfriend, Jai. It was the third night that week that he had made dinner plans with you, but blew them off without any explanation.
That left you sitting in front of the dinner that you had made that was slowly growing colder with every minute that passed. He was two hours late, and you were seething as you picked at your food. You would call him, but you weren't sure if he'd even pick up.
The door opened, and you stood up, crossing your arms.
"Hey, babe." Jai called, walking into your view and stopping in his tracks. "Oh. Shit."
"There's no way that you could've forgotten this time too, Jai." You said quietly, tears welling up in your eyes.
"Look, y/n, i'm sorry. it's not that big of a deal." He grumbled, tossing his jacket onto the couch.
"It might've not been a big deal the first time, but this is the third fucking this weekthat you've blown off plans with me to go out clubbing." You said, walking towards him, you scowled when you caught the scent of sweat and liquor.
"I just went out and had some fun, it's not like i got completely shit-faced." He explained, raising his voice. It was obvious that he was drunker than he thought.
You laughed, clearly upset. "The number of shots of tequila you had isn't the problem, Jai! You promised me that you'd make it to date night!! Do you even care about our relationship?!"
He was fuming at that point. The expression set in his eyes was one that you had never seen before in all the time that you had been together. There was a deep rage that you could see within his brown irises, one that made your heart pound and made your hands shake, because you were just as upset.
shouts turned to snide remarks, which turned to biting insults. You could tell that he was just intoxicated enough that he wasn't thinking about what he was saying, but that didn't mean that his words didn't hurt. You'd ended up with your back pressed up against the wall, and him ominously close in front of you.
After glaring at him for an intense moment, you realized that there was no way that Jai, this drunk, was going to back down from any arguement. "Whatever, Jai," You said. Your voice heavy. You decided that tomorrow would be the time to talk to him about it, after a lot of water, black coffee, and advil. However, He saw your intentions to move and slammed his hands into the wall on either side of your head to keep you there.
"You're not going anywhere," He said, his voice coming out a low growl from his chest. He'd never used that tone with you, and it was terrifying, making your heart drop through the floor.
"Let me go. We can talk about this later." Your voice came out a small whimper. He stilled, his gaze softening. You slowly lifted your hand to cup his flushed cheek gently.
There was a moment of tense silence between the two of you, which was broken when Jai's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, his jaw clenched, and he let out a frustrated yell at the same time that he slammed his fist into the wall next to your head. Judging by the crack of drywall, it'd left a dent.
You recoiled, choking out a sob and forcing your way out of his embrace. His hostile expression faded when he saw how freaked out you were, and he tried to reach out to soothe you, but you flinched away from his touch.
"Get out of here," you whispered, looking at him with wide eyes. Jai had never acted aggressively toward you, and this side of him was scaring you.
"Baby," He pleaded with a soft voice, taking a step toward you.
You took a step back from him and shook your head. "GET OUT." You said with a much firmer tone, though your voice shook. You watched as his shoulders slumped forward, and he slowly grabbed his keys and his jacket before walking back out the door, slamming it behind him.
You turned your phone off, still sniffling from the tears that refused to stop flowing. It took a long time for you to fall asleep, as the bed was colder than it had ever been.

You rolled out of bed the next morning and sat on the edge of your mattress as you turned your phone back on. You had 3 missed calls from Jai and 2 texts from Beau.
You opened up the texts first.
From: Beau: jai called looking for a place to stay, is everything alright?
From: Beau: he's drunk and won't stop crying, what happened?
Your heart swelled a little when you read that he had a place to stay and wasn't passed out on a park bench somewhere. You went to your voicemail next, where you had one from your boyfriend.
"Y/n," He started with a soft coo of your name. It was slurred, so he was still wasted, and he was crying, like Beau had said. "Y/n, I'm sorry. I'm so so fucking sorry. I love you so much, i don't know what i was thinking. It's cold and it's only been an hour but i miss you," He paused to sob a little hiccup. "I'm a piece of shit and you deserve better, but please let me come back, baby, i''m sorry." He continued to cry, repeating i'm sorry over and over again until Beau's voice came from the background, saying "leave the poor girl alone,"
It sounded like there was a struggle for the phone, and then his brother's voice came on the line. "Sorry, y/n, he's kind of a mess right now." Beau said. "I promise i'll look after him, and i'll call you in the morning when he sobers up, ok?" He pauses, and Jai's incoherent babbling could be heard in the background. The call ends there.
You took a deep breath, running your hands through your hair and thinking about all that happened the previous night. You hesitantly padded into the kitchen, phone in hand, and busied yourself with making coffee, nervously awaiting a call from Beau.
Your phone rang nearly an hour later, and you picked it up on the first ring. "Hey." You said, anxiety settling in your fingers.
"Hi, how are you feeling?" He asked you, and you shrugged to yourself.
"I..." You exhaled heavily. "I don't know." He hummed on the other end, encouraging you to go on. You stood up and began to pace. "It's been a tough night. I miss him."
"What exactly happened?" He asked, and the closing of a door made it sound like he had gone outside. You told him everything: the plans that he blew off, the him coming home drunk, and him punching a hole in the wall. He let out a low whistle. "Fuck, i didn't know it was that bad."
"Is he alright?" You asked rather abruptly.
"Well, he's crashed on the couch right now, he just drank 2 bottles of water, and i think the alcohol is finally out of his system." He said. "What do you want me to do?"
You paused, chewing at your lip. "Bring him home." You said finally.

When you answered your door fifteen minutes later, Jai was standing there, looking unsure. He was in the same clothes that he was wearing the night before, and it seemed that he had slept in them, and he probably had. His eyes were tired and bloodshot, like he hadn't slept much, and his gaze was set on you.
There was a moment of stillness between the two of you. When you finally couldn't take it anymore, you lunged forward, hugging him tightly around the middle. He hugged you back immediately, as if he were waiting for you to make the first move, so that he knew that things were at least somewhat okay. "I'm so fucking sorry, y/n." He murmured into your hair.
"It's ok, It's ok." You murmured back, nuzzling your head into his chest. "I forgive you." You pulled back from the hug. "We just need to talk about some things, ok?"
"Ok."
"And you're going to pay for that fucking dent in the wall."
He laughed. "Okay, of course." You took him by the hand and pulled him inside. It was amazing how his presence made the place feel like home again.
