                Beginning.

Loud thuds echoed out the once quiet household consisting of a couple. The yelling and bangs could even be heard from outside.

"I can't do this anymore Zack, I have given you too many chances! I can't believe you... lying to me so many times... it's over this time, I really mean it! It's over, for good!" I screamed at Zack. I just couldn't take these type of problems anymore. It was starting to effect my own mental health, taking a toll on me. I turned away from him and continued marching down the stairs. Probably going to pack a bag or something, that is if I can get through him.

"I promise I would s-stop I mean it this time really babe no more liquor for me! Promise, promise." he slurred in his drunken state, taking my hand in his quite roughly. A crooked smiled that read more lies to come. I have already falled for this too many times. I ripped my hand away from his grasp feeling the familar fresh tears fall. My vision blurred more as I turned away.

"N-no I heard that too many times..I can't take it anymore." I whispered more to myself but I know Zack heard it. Why am I even talking to him? He is drunk, theres no use, there never is. I looked up to see his hand slowly rise and my eyes widened.

"Look bi-" I cut him off by pushing him and running out of the house. I heard his footsteps chase me just up the the edge of the front lawn. For a minute I didn't know where I should go in this freezing weather, I was a wreck right now...I didn't even grab my jacket. Screw packing a bag, I needes to get out of there now.

I quickly figured out a place to go, to the place I always go after these type of situations. I'm surprised I didn't think of it before I even ran out of the house. I'm going to the most closest friends I have out of this huge group.

Brian.

He was the first person I was involved with since high school, he quickly introduced me to all the guys an girls short after. We instantly all hit it off.

BRIANS POV.

I laid on my couch watching ramdom stuff on TV, zoning out. I was tired and just wanted to go to sleep now, I had stuff on my mind about the band. Deciding to go to sleep on the couch, too tired to walk up the long steps.

Almost falling asleep, I drifted away as a loud bang on the door startled me. I jumped up, clearing up my head before I answer.

Who could be knocking at my door so late at night, I have an idea. I sighed, yawning then rubbing my eyes, taking my time. Quite aggravated someone is knocking on my door this late. Only a certain person can do it but she did it last night, I can't get too annoyed.

When I got up to answer the door I stretched, turning off the TV and walked up to the door. I saw Izzy, a smile tugged on my lips, when I noticed the state she was in. My face instantly dropped when I saw how she looked. Of course she would be in this state, why wouldn't she? She's been the past month's coming here like clockwork.

Her bright red hair was messed up and dulled, her eyeliner was smeared, eyes and cheeks red, and well she looks like she's been crying. Well of course she is, don't just stand there, do something.

"Isabel what happened?" I asked urgently with care bringing her into my house to the couch. Sitting her down on the couch next to me, my arms on her shoulders.

"It's Zack again" she cried dropping her head in my chest, I froze at first but rubbed her back soothingly. Deep down, I always know why she is here, but I don't like to think about it.

"Drinking again?" I sighed, I felt her nodding in my chest with soft wimpers coming from her.

Zacky well, he's been having a drinking problem for about a year and a half now. When he gets drunk, he gets a little abusive as well when things don't go his way. This whole problem started when Izzy was pregnant but had a miscarriage. Zacky was so happy he was finally going to be a father. Sadly after that accident, that really took a toll in their relationship big time. They were already trying to make a family, so you can see why.

"Don't worry, he should stop soon enough, give him time Izzy." I tried to calm her down, like I usually do. Just this time it doesn't seem to be working like before. Usually she instantly calms down, heads to bed, and leaves the next morning, or same night. Worry swelled up inside me a little, but I pushed it away.

"No Brian. I couldn't take it anymore, I really couldn't, I gave him way too much of my time! He has just got to get over what happened a couple years ago, but it looks like he isn't. Yes I understand it is depressing, I know it is!... I'm still quite sad about it myself don't you think, but, nonetheless I have gotten over it" she ranted, pulling away from me still will tears clouding her eyes still.

"Wait so you two are officially over now?" I asked with shock, and she nodded slowly sad.

"That is what I made clear to Zacky, will he remember? Probably not." She sighed, pulling away from me fully, looking down at the floor next to us.

This is actually suprising to me because Zacky and Izzy are like...the most in-love couple I've ever seen. Aside from the drama and shit thats been going on. They use to be so close, ever since they were introduced to each other.

"I'm so sorry Brian...I know this has been happening a lot but can I stay at your house again for a couple of nights this time? Till I find my own place, of course. I hope you won't mi-" she whipped her eyes continuing, but I cut her off. Amazed she thinks I care if she stays over.

"Yeah of course, and no need to be sorry at all it's not your fault" I half smiled.

She smiled back and I felt my heart flutter, "Now there's that smile I know and love" I smiled. She smiled more back and I saw her blushed a little.

"Thank you so much Brian I don't know what I would do with out you" she smiled and hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back tightly. She always gives the sweetest hugs, even when sad.

"Probably just go to Jimmy's house" I joked, she laughed a little and jokenly shoved me.

"Probably, anyway I'm going to take a shower now, my makeup is everywhere and I'm messy and gross, is that okay with you?" She asked pulling away. "Yeah of course, remember Izzy my house is yours too, no need to ask." I laughed a little. "Okay, again thank you so much Brian" she smiled and ran upstairs.

As I was still staring at the stairs where Izzy took off too I sighed. I can't believe that they are actually broken up for real this time. Guess it had to of end eventually, Izzy is strong for lasting that long.
