Cheating?

Bodil's POV:

I sigh, sitting down to eat... Once again alone.... I blink away the tears threatening to fall from my eyes and glance at the dinner across the table... Tonight was supposed to be a nice dinner... I went to the trouble of cooking an actual meal and everything.... Taking a bite of my cooling food I let out a shaky breath... I'd been waiting for so long that it was barely warm anymore... Why does this always happen..? I slowly pick at my meal, having neither heart nor stomach to finish it even though it didn't taste bad... I get up, barely able to see through the tears now streaming down my face as I drag myself up to our shared bed, curling around a large pillow as sobs wrack my body... He's always held up!! I just want one nice dinner and some cuddles!!! Is that really too much to ask for?!? A sob gets caught in my throat and I just take another shaky breath. Cuddled around the pillow that's now soaked with my tears.. Why me?! Why does this always happen to me?! I shudder as the cold night gets to me, burrowing under the warm blankets I choke back another sob, quieting down to simply crying as I cuddle the pillow to me.... I just... why me..?

I wake up to the door being slammed open downstairs and I slowly lift my head, wiping the tears from my face before pulling myself up and stumbling out of bed to find him opening the fridge.... I smile slightly... "Hey Sky~.." I hum softly, hugging my boyfriend slightly... He stumbles a little, looking at me confused for a second before giving me a bored look... "Hey Babe..." He slurs slightly... going back to rummaging through the fridge... "I m-made you dinner..?" I say weakly, questioning if it was really worth telling him.... He nods and grabs a drink, walking over to the table... I pick up the food and reheat it, passing it to him... He struggles with the fork, but whenever I offer to help glares and cusses at me... Eventually he manages to eat most of it, then gets up, knocking my food on the floor and grumbling as he walks to bed.... I take a shuddery breath, ignoring the tears starting to drip from my eyes and clean up the mess, sticking the dishes in the dishwasher and grabbing the aspirin for his hangover... I set it on the bedstand and slip into bed, still softly crying into the pillow, as he's curled facing away so I can't properly cuddle with him... "L-love you..." I stutter softly... Tonight went awful... But I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose... Yeah.. He just forgot and got drunk after a long day at work.... I let out a shuddery sigh, cuddle into the pillow and drop off to sleep...

-2 weeks later-

He did it again... Every time I try and do something nice or romantic... he comes home late, and drunk.... I-I.... I think he's cheating on me.... I look around the empty house and let out a shuddery sigh... Calling one of my close friends to talk about the issue..... "G-ghost..?" I say into the phone.... He immediately responds... "Martin!? What's wrong?! Who's ass do I need to kick!?!" I let out a weak laugh and say "Nobody's... I-I just.... I... I think Sky's cheating on me...."
