Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air

Anthony's POV

It's been four months since me and Jasmine broke up but I still can't seem to stop thinking about her .i woke to the feeling of regret and sorrow the way I acted was not me I was just high or hang over from the night before .let me start from the beginning .

*Flash back *

His fingers ran along the cold brick wall of a downtown New York alley. Letting his fingers push into the grooves of the paved brick, he let a cool breath of air through his nostrils. Just the usual New York City smog fills his nose and he clears his throat a bit. The night was quiet, and yet, he knew that someone interesting would come of it eventually. He was known for his eccentric ways and it was a trait he enjoyed having, especially on these slow, slow nights. Whether he ran into one of the cast , or any other night dweller, it would be quite a nice change from his quiet evening. Calling out into the open, dark air, he grinned, tilting his head in emphasis to his words.
"Anyone out here !?"
It was one of those nights.
He sat on a crumbling roof in the slums of the city, legs dangling dangerously over the edge. A nearly empty bottle of Jack sat beside him, precariously close to falling down to the streets below.

He supposed, in his half-drunken haze, that he wouldn't mind if the bottle fell, particularly if it made a lucky strike and hit one of the wanderers below.
A cigarette dangled from his lips and he breathed smoke out of his nose, watching the billows catch the light from the streetlamps. It was one of those nights because it had been one of those days. He hummed take the world to himself sitting in complete silence

Anthony was particularly ornery, his bloodlust more intense than usual, and he hadn't had the opportunity to blow off some steam: all of those that crossed his path that day had come out the other side, with un-complete with lives and limbs if they said the wrong thing.He was feeling unlucky, and that thought particularly bothered him. Although the majority of his plans were created and carried out through sheer manipulative genius, he couldn't deny that he relied on the occasional lucky break

.The male sighed, a disgusted and phlegmy noise, and he picked up the bottle to take another swig .his phone lit up from a few inches next to him his eyes shot open as he received a text from his girlfriend ; jasmine cephas jones ,he looked at the message before putting it back in his pocket and taking a few more sips of his drink getting up quickly climbing down from the roof and begin heading forward her house . He was angry mixed emotions and quite frankly he was bored out of his mind .

He entered the home with an extra key hat jasmine has gave him and walked in looking around for her until he saw her out in the balcony with some wine and a magazine he came up behind her breathing rigidly. She heard him and quickly turned around "ah Ant baby you scared me ." She chuckled as she got up and hugged her boyfriend .he snapped pushing her off him "you know what I'm over this shit . I don't wanna be in this relationship you're so fucking annoying ." He screamed st her making her jump a bit tears started to fill her eyes you can tell that she was afraid "I-I ant please ..." she pleased getting close to him ." No why don't you go to daveed or even better your boy oak !" He yelled back pushing her back every time she'd get close "Anthony you're drunk " she exclaimed as she smelt the alcohol from inches away when ever he'd push her ."how you going to tell me what I am ,you must be out of your god damn mind ,did I ask you ? " he threw her into the glass table next to the chair she was in "I don't wanna see you ever again " he growled flipping her off before walking away and out the house having a flask in his pocket he chugged down some more alcohol .

*The next morning / Anthony POV*

I woke up the sun in my eyes and the sound of cars honking and screeching people talking loudly as normal but it was different . I wasn't holding her close to my chest as I normally would every morning but I had a huge hangover my head started to pound and held my breath trying to think . My phone started to go off so I grabbed it from the night stand .my phone was blowing up non-stop .news off us breaking up spread I raised in eyebrow until it all gotten back to me ,I ruined my life .
