homesick

she swills the last few drops of vodka in the bottom of her glass before lifting the glass to her stained lips and pouring them into her mouth. "another please" she calls out to the bartender who was familiar with her order due to the vast amount of time she spent in the bar. as the bartender passes her refilled beverage across the bar, their eyes meet and the tipsy girl recognises the friendly face on the other end.

"ethan?" she shouts over the loud music.

"yes. you read my name tag, well done" he replies, continuing with his job.

"no no. its me, maria"

"i don't know a maria" he said, sounding agitated.

"i think you'll find you do considering we dated for 8 months" the drunk girl slurred.

"miss, i don't know who you think i am, but you need to calm down your behaviour or you'll be asked to leave"

"you're moodier than i remembered" she huffed to herself.

ethan continued his shift which consisted of lots of staring at the girl he knew oh so well but dared to pretend he remembered. after all, she was the love of his life who broke his heart but to her, he was just another boy.

new book inspired by "homesick" by dua lipa because im a big dua stan.
also i wanted to portray the girl as the heartbreaker in this book because i always see the twins portrayed as fuckboys in fanfics.

all the love, emily x
