When opposites attract

Love Hurts

Lola PoV :

I get off the couch putting my sun glasses on before opening the door not really caring who is there. I stare at the face above me caring a little more about how I look.

'Hi Danny didn't expect to see you.' He looks so tired and his cheeks a little pink.

'Yeah I just...' He looks staring into space a little bit. 'I need to talk to my best mate.'

He walk in sitting down onto the couch and I shut the door behind him wishing I was wearing something more glamorous than my pyjamas or that I had a shower since last night at least. I can smell the stench of alcohol on me.

'Do you need a drink or anything? Tea or a soda?' I walk into the kitchen leaning on the island waiting for his answer.

'Beer, unless you have some vodka or whisky. Something strong.' I pull a beer out the crush not bothering to find any other drink.

I open the top feeling nashua over come me from the smell. Before holding it as far as me from possible and sliding it into his hand. I take a seat next to him looking at the clock. It was just past 9. I let out a little grown before turning back to him giving him every little bit of my attention.

'Me and grace broke up.' My mouth dropped in shock I thought they was gonna be together for a while. A mixture of happiness and sadness fills me up, he was single my crush was finally single, my best friends broke up with the girl he loved.

'What.' His eyes are red and his cheeks are stained pink.

'She broke up with me,' he lets out a sour laugh and I cuddle into him, like we have always done as friends.

'I thought you guys was going out for dinner last night?'

'We did.' I look up from his chest still holding on to him really tightly.

'He takes a drop his bottle of beer to his side just resting on the couch and I almost pull away gagging. He gives me a disapproving look and I just wash it off.

'Ok talk me through what happened?'

'Well we got home from the restaurant back at our apartment and we started hitting it off you know like after a dinner.' I let off a sigh knowing that my longest relationship was 4 months and we has definitely not gone on a fancy restaurant for that anniversary. 'And she started talking about the future and it was good then she just flipped out saying I had to move out.'

'And why did she flip out?'

' She said she never got any freedom as she never went clubbing and had one nightstand and had that fling with the guy on holiday.'

'But what it's not your fault.' I try to understand but I find it hard.

'We went out for 6 years and she tells me this after out anniversary.'

'It's not to late you know she might call you in a few days and realise how stupid this is, you guys love each other. You can see how much she adores you in her eyes.' I pause for a minute realising how much I actually resent her. 'If she gave up you someone who also gave up clubbing, one nightstand and having that fling with the tropical girl on holiday for all that after how much love you can give then she's not worth it. You are....' There is so many words to describe how amazing he is to me yet non of them are good enough.

'...,what I'm trying to say it she was so lucky to have you, if I was here I would of gave that life style up to follow you anywhere,' There was so much more left to say that I couldn't put it in words a small smile was on his face, it wasn't big but it was good enough for now.

'It just stings a bit really, it will get better in time.'

'You don't have to hide your feelings from me you know, I'm not a guy. Us girls do all this touchy feelings stuff.' I wait for him to pour his heart out but he doesn't say anything else.

'I really wish I could say everything happens for a reason but when everyone else hears they will say the same fucking thing and it's the last thing you want to fucking hear cause at that moment your whole world has shattered, and only time itself can tell you that is the worst fucking advice ever cause what the fuck is the fucking reason.' I blink the tears from my eyes, the times at the funeral Come back to my head, how everyone said it would get better in time and the first time at the doctors getting the anti depressants when they said everything happens for a reason and I'll understand in time but...

'...Time doesn't heal the wound, you live just moved forwards. You will get other distractions when problems come and go and the pain that you have right there in your heart will move from your whole heart to the pit of the stomach it probably will never go away and it will alway be the same pain that you can't fucking forget but the other distractions will take its place.'  The words from my head fall out my mouth, I don't know how it will help him but for the morning I've had that's how it goes even though everyone's different.

I break from my daze looking at him, he knows I'm right he always know everything except I love him. It's one thing I could never tell him in our friendship, and it's all black inside not being able to tell him how I truly feel.  I know he's concerned about me at this point but he came here for my support not the other way round.

' Even though you don't want to talk about it to other people cause you know you think. You don't want to. Burned people with this when they have more complicated things going on in their life and you get to a point where you feel like you should be sad about it anymore or obsessed over it  as it haunts you nearly everyday you can come to me whenever, I will always be here for you and I care about you so much. If she doesn't want you anymore fuck her, she's missing out on the most incredible person I know.'

He shakes his head at my words still keeping silent biting into his lip.

'You are incredible and just because she doesn't realise all that she needs in front of her is you doesn't mean you any less incredible.'

He pulls me into a tighter hug and I enjoy every second.

'I don't have anywhere to stay.'

'You can stay here!'

'But Lily's comes round a lot more now I Live closer.'

'Haven't seen her in a while only a few texts.' We let go from out hug and I move to the opposite side of the couch.

'Lola why do you stink of alcohol?'

'I went out to a party with Matt.' I haven't spoke to him since I found out what happened. We had a very awkward car ride home. I don't know if I believe him, I'm not sure if I want to but i don't want to know if it's true right now. Not when he's dating my sister.

'With Matt?'  He seems as confused as I was when I realised what I was doing.

'I was bored ok?'

'You can tell me about it in a minute I need to get my clothes out the car.'
