It was almost midnight when Liza pulled in the driveway of her house. She was scared to walk in. She didn't want David to look at her in disgust. She loved him, she really did.

Although she didn't do anything seriously wrong, she told David she would be home soon, and then six hours later she gets to the house.

She slowly walked up the stairs to their door and pushed open the door silently. She tried to silently walk into the room, expecting David to be there, but as she turned the corner of the kitchen she saw him sitting there drinking a beer. And right next to him we're eight empt bottles. Liza's eyes widened in fear, she hated when David got drunk.

"Liza? Is that you?" He said with a smug grin on his face.

"Hi David, I think we should go to bed."

Ignoring her David took another sip, "You know I drank one for every hour you were gone, but obviously I cheated and had a little more." He winked at her.

Liza slowly walked over to David who was sitting on the couch. With her delicate hands she tried to slowly take the beer out of his hands.

"No!" He shouted causing Liza to flinch back. Fear was written all over her face and she nodded her head and quickly walked to the bedroom.

Once she was safe in her room she locked the door and slid to the floor with her back against the door. She shouldn't have gone out that night. Although she knew David would never hurt her, drunk or not, she was still frightened that he may end things between them, she was scared that she may end things, and the last thing she wanted was to be without David. Tears silently fell from her face as she drifted to sleep.

The bright sun shined on Liza's tear stained face as she was still leaning up against the door. She got up slowly remembering that she hadn't gone to bed last night. And then she remembered David's solo drunk party. She swung the door open ready to run out to check on David, when a loud thump stopped her in her tracks, David had been leaning on the door as well and he fell on the ground but woke up.

"Liza?" He asked, grabbing his head which hit the floor. "Oh my gosh, my head!"

Liza bent down by David and grabbed his head, "I'm sorry, are you okay?" She said looking into his eyes.

He looked back in hers and they stayed that way for a few moments, neither sure if they were going to stay like that, get up, or lean  in. Eventually Liza broke the tension by looking away, she cleared her throat.

"Ahem. I'm sorry, I can't.." she stood up quickly and walked to the kitchen. David sighed and went into the bedroom hoping to get rid of his hangover and do some editing.

Meanwhile, Liza stood in the kitchen debating what to do, go back in the room and apologize to David, stay in the kitchen and not do anything, or go out again. She mentally crossed off number three and sat on the couch. Now sitting, Liza decided it would be best to give David his space.

Maybe one day they would be close again. Today was not that day.
