Ludwig awoke, with a pounding headache. He sat up only to realise that this wasn't his room at all, and then saw an unfamiliar figure next to him. As soon as he could smell the familiar scent of perfume, which was now sickening to him, he had realised what he had done. He quickly got out of bed and put his pants and shirt on, surprised that his under wear was still on, and ran out of the apartment. He then went to a nearby cafe and ordered a coffee, in which he slowly sipped at trying to remember the previous night.After finishing his coffee, he still could not remember what had happened, and assumed that he had had an affair. He slowly walked the streets, it wasn't just last night he regretted, ever since pressure had been pushed on him to pay the 10,000 euros, he began to be snappy and say awful things to Feli. As soon as Ludwig came home, he went to the spare room, as Feli was sleeping in the main bedroom, and layed on the bed. Soon he began to cry.
"I'm so sorry, Feli..." He whispered to himself. Repeating it over and over again. "I can't give up, I love him too much to not ask for his forgiveness."
He went out to the local flower shop and bought a dozen of roses, he then ran back home, it was sunset now, and the colours of the lowering Sun shined on him as he ran up the hill. He burst through the door and ran up the stairs, he then went straight to the main bedroom and opened the door, seeing Feli awake, however, at the very bottom of his heart, he wished that he wasn't.
Feli was sat up in the bed, looking out of the window which had the sunset's colours pouring into the room. He then looked at Ludwig, surprised to see him shaven and with a bouquet of roses.
"Ludwig?... What's wrong?" Feli said, looking at Ludwig who froze at the door. Suddenly Ludwig walked closer to the bed, tears forming in his eyes, he started to stutter some words, in which Feli could not understand, and assumed that he was murmering German.
"Feli.... I-I'm so, so sorry..." He said, and Suddenly broke down crying.
"What did you do?" Feli said shocked and confused of why he was crying. Ludwig fell to his knees, and placed the flowers on the bed.
"Last night, I... I..." Ludwig looked up at Feli, who was nodding for him to carry on.
"I got drunk... And I woke up in someone else's home... And I couldn't remember what happened... I'm so sorry...." He said bowing his head, not even daring to look at him.
Feli placed his hand on Ludwigs shoulder, which made him look up at him. His eyes were full of tears and he wore a devastated frown.
"Get out." Feli said calmly, and slowly removed his hand from his shoulder. Ludwig stood up slowly and began walking out of the room, looking back at Feli, who wouldn't even look at him, and just stared out of the window.
When he closed the door, he slowly walked away, his head hung low, hearing Feli's crying echo from the bedroom, to the hallway.
