Here we are, and I can't think from all the pills, hey. Start the car and take me home. Here we are, and you're too drunk to hear a word I say. Start the car and take me home.

     Sitting in the apartment John was drinking again as usual and it wasn't even eight o'clock yet. Sighing I rolled my eyes as I prepared dinner for tonight while he watched some sport's game on the T.V. Turning the oven on and getting it heated up I made sure to keep an eye on John who was sprawled out on the couch currently.

     Sighing I set the time as I put dinner in the oven and clicked start, now all that was left was to wait. Walking into the living room I looked at John and how pathetic he looked covered in beer and looking like garbage. He no longer was the hot guy I knew in high school and wanted to be with for my life. All the drinking made sure he wasn't the same person and now he barely did anything for himself anymore.

     I silently wondered why I even bothered I could easily just walk out the door and never look back, I could move in with Taylor and just go to school and work when I needed to. But no I was here taking care of this slob just because it was to hard to walk away from him when he was on his good days.

   "John dinner will be ready soon" I said, as I looked to see what he was watching. He was watching some football team from Europe currently and I had no clue what was going on.

     He just nodded at me and never even took his eyes off the T.V. as he didn't even seem to notice I was there.

   "Hey I'm right here you can't just take your eyes off the T.V. for one second just to give me an answer" I gave him a bit off sass as I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room back to the kitchen. God he aggravated me so much and I really would love to just smack him upside the head sometimes.

Just tonight, I will stay, and we'll throw it all away. When the light hit's your eyes, it's telling me I'm right and if I, I am through and it's all because of you. Just tonight.

     I bent down in front of the oven and clicked the light on as I checked to see if the food was cooking good. Looking like everything was okay I turned the light back off and got up from the floor and turned to see John standing in the archway.

     He had a beer in his left hand and was leaning against the arch.

   "You wanted something?" He said, with a slight slur and had a faraway look.

   "No I didn't need anything, I was telling you food's almost done, you could have listened when I was out there telling you." I said, in a snarky tone as I looked in the cabinet for the plates. Pulling down two and closing the cabinet I set them on the counter.

   "Why do you always act like such a bitch" John cursed at me as I ignored his insult "You always nag at me like your my mother or something."

   "Maybe because I have to nag at you to even get through to you!" I yelled at him as I felt my blood boil. God he really knew how to tick me off and I really am just contemplating walking out on him.

   "I never asked you to be, get off my back and leave if you don't like me!" He shouted back at me, I felt the anger rise in me and was really close to hitting him in the face.
