VIII: usual

Usual: something repetitive that's known to others.

-you-

From: Y/B/N- hey I'm sorry about what happened.

From: Y/B/N- look fucking answer me you dumb bitch.

From: Y/B/N- are you with that fucking Dan guy?

From: Y/B/N- you're fucking dead to me.

These were the last texts I got from Y/B/N. The last one a lot harsher than I expected from him. He said he was done with me. He says this once a week and then he turns around and comes crawling back to me. And every time, I forgive him.

I sighed as I grabbed my key for the front door, turning it and am met with the war zone that was here when I left early last night to go to Dan's.

There were bottles shattered everywhere and picture frames broken and everything disheveled as I sighed, getting ready for my usual cleanup after this happens.

~time jump~

As I sat down, I put my head in my hands. Not knowing what to honestly do.

Phil saw that I left a note and took my number and texted me right after I left. He said something along the lines of 'if you ever need my help, just let me know.'

I couldn't handle Y/B/N being here anymore. So I decided I needed to talk to him desperately. As I called him up, it constantly rang, him not picking up after the fifth ring. I tried a few times and he didn't answer so I just left it alone for now.

As I continued to pack up his things throughout the day, I suddenly got tired and realised I haven't had any caffeine today at all.

I grabbed my coat and headed down the familiar hallway before I went into the elevator and travelled down. As the elevator opened, I walked past the front desk where I saw a familiar pair of brown eyes, which they made me feel warm on the inside. Instantly knowing who it was.

"You're just stalking me." I commented as I put my chin in my hand, leaning onto the taller counter.

"Maybe I am." He awkwardly smiled as he nodded his head jokingly before laughing, me joining in at the sound of his infectious laugh.

"Why are you down here all the time? Aren't you like rich or something?" I tilted my head a bit in confusion.

"Yeah, it's just extra cash for Phil and I. For the small little excursions or a rainy day fund we have going on. And they're usually just to cover for people when there gone for a few minutes or whatever. Speaking of that, I'm done for today. " He explained, pointing to the security monitors behind him. Only in view of you were up at the counter, either paying your bill or complaining.

"Hey, um..." I started, not knowing where I was going to with it. Should I ask him for coffee? Or just forget about it. Ah to hell with it. "Do you want to go for coffee with me?" I finished, him nodding immediately, putting his jacket on and pocketing his phone quickly.

As we walked out of the lobby and into the Autumn chilly air of London. I wrapped my arms around me tighter.

It was nearing the end of October, so you always saw your breath here. Pretty soon I'd be wearing my parka everyday until May when it started to warm up again.
