Be Mine

Chapter 7: Drunken Night

It was hours later and I just returned to my apartment. After I left the studio I drove all the way home, parked my car, and walked down to the bar that was a block away. I decided to order some drinks. Manly so I didn't think so much of Subaru. But the more I drank the more I though about him.

I stumbled through the front door. Having a little trouble staying on my feet. It's weird on my walk home I didn't have many issues with walking. But now I'm surprised that I'm still able to walk at all. I guess the alcohol is finally kicking in. it always takes a while for me to get drunk. Some depression still clouded my mind. But was being numbed up with the alcohol that I consumed.

I walked into my living room and collapsed on my couch. Staring up at the blank white ceiling above me. My head resting on the soft brown cushion. It was comfy. So comfy that I started to doze off. My eye lids getting heavy as I closed them.

A loud knock on my front door caused my eyes to fly open. I looked around my apartment. Looking for anything out of place. Not really sure what was happening. Things where quiet. I shrugged the noise off and started to fall back to sleep. But not even a minute later the knock came again. I sat up from the couch. I guess one of my neighbors saw my drunk walking and was checking up on me to see if I was alright.

Sighing, I got up from the couch and walked over to the front door. I didn't even bother looking through the peep hole to see who was there. I felt there was no need to. With a turn off the door knob the wooden door opened. To my surprise I came face to face with Subaru. My eyes grew big at the sight of him. I wasn't expecting him to be there. I thought that it might be the old lady that lived across the hall from me.

Subaru smiled at me. "Hey can I come in?" he asks. His eyes pleading for me to say yes. I simply nod and move to the side so he could step in. he slowly stepped inside. Seeming a bit unsure. His eyes wandered around my apartment for a while before his eyes meet with mine. He smiled at me again. This time more sheepishly. "I wanted to apologies for earlier. I was stupid and a jerk and I didn't mean anything that I said. I wish I could take it all back. Especially that slap."

I looked down at my feet. Biting the inside of my cheek. I looked back up at him and smiled. "It's alright. It doesn't really matter." I say quietly. Trying as hard as I can to not slur my words. I don't want him to know that I am drunk. Although I'm sure that he can smell it.

"But it does matter." He snapped. "You're my best friend and I should have known better. I should have known that you wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone..." he stops for a second. Sniffing the air. Probably smelling the alcohol. "You're drunk aren't you?" I shrug. "Oh you are. Great I feel even more horrible. I upset you so much that you tried to drink your pain away. Come on let's get you to your room." I felt his hands on the small of my back as he pushed me towards my bed room. I didn't struggle. I just let him lead me.

He knew me way too well. He knew whenever I get drunk I become either tired or very emotional or both. I guess to night it was both. I felt really light headed. Like I was about to pass out. But I also felt like I was on the brink of tears. Tears that were ready to pour from my eyes at any moment.

Once inside my room. I stopped and turned to look at him. "What happened to Yoko?" I ask him. Curiosity taking over my mind.

I saw him tense up a bit. He looked away from me. "We... uh... broke up." His voice was quiet and sad. Hearing that sent me over the edge. My tears broke free. I felt guilty. Knowing that it was my fault that they broke up. Subaru quickly noticed my tears. "Don't cry. It's not your fault. She's the one to blame. Not you. If she was trying to get me to hate you than that's a good sign that our relationship wasn't healthy." He quickly said.
