I Dream A Dream

Chapter 10: Ex's and Arguments leading to a bruised me.

Tired as hell, I collapsed onto my bed, not bothering to change. Tossing and turning I couldn't sleep, I wanted to scream the word sleep to get myself to sleep. Okay let's try this again. Breathe, inhale, exhale, lay on the pillow, tucked in all nice and warm and lids shut. Sleep, finally. Today's scenario? I'd say festive.

"It's Christmas"

A young man dressed in a warm navy jumper and worn out jeans slurred.

"Harry this is Ken, but be free to call him Kenny"

Cassandra winked at Kenny.

"Well that was not a proper introduction Cass, oh and don't call me Kenny, but yes I'm Ken and I'm well, Cass' old best friend and ex boyfriend"

Awkward. I felt the drunkard talking a little too much as he slurped another sparkling alcoholic drink. I didn't know what to do, but Cassandra did, she gave me a wide-eyed with a don't-listen-to-the-drunky look and gave Mr Ken Kenny Talk Too Much When Drunk Ken Kenny Ken a light but unfriendly punch.

"He's just drunk, um Harry have you met my friend Eddy?"

Well clearly not, it was obvious when she tried changing the subject, she seemed like a bad liar.

"Hey I'm also Cassandra's ex boyfriend but hey-"

"Okay too many drunkards"

She pulled me by my sleeve.

"Um how about that guy with the blonde hair and highlights?"

"Ex boy.."

She trailed off. So basically everyone who my current girlfriend invited to our Christmas party were practically all her ex boyfriends, except Lily - who was currently dating one of Cass' ex boyfriend Nick (the guy with the highlights). Yes I was going to an extent were I would hit the brink of mental from a mad experience.

"Harry, they're all great friends of mine"

"Not to mention ex boyfriends too"

"Well I'm sure you've been friends with one or more of your ex's"

Woah, woah, woah, are we going to start an argument?

"No I havent actually"

"Oh piss off Harry don't talk shit to me"

"I'm not! No need for the profanity"

"Don't do that Harry, because if you are then you can fuck right off"

"Again no need for the irreverent language"

"Fuck off"

"NO"

I shouted and pinned her to the wall.

"Don't be sexy now, I'm annoyed as fuck with you"

"Being sexy is the only thing that calms you down"

She kicked my calf and tried pushing me off.

"No, Harry get off before I scream"

I completely forgot the people, how the heck did we even end up in the green room?

Cassandra kicked me in between and ran upstairs.

"For FUCK SAKE"

I cursed with an outburst. Luckily no one heard me.

Tossing, turning, tossing, turning, I almost forgot that I was dreaming. Eyes open, breath, inhale, exhale, rise and shake.

Today's scenario? Bittersweet.
