chapter 7

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

i went to a party

i wanted to take
my mind off of you

so i went with scarlett
it was her idea to go

we arrived
and as soon as i stepped in
i regretted that i came

i didn't even know myself anymore
why was i making it worse

the books said it right
it smelled like sweat and alcohol

scarlett soon left my side
and i found myself alone

i just needed to be alone

i walked upstairs
and went into a room

and i saw you

fucking hell
i was trying to avoid you

but fate kept pulling us back together

you had a red cup in your hand
and your back was facing me

you didn't know i was there

i tried to slowly close the door
but it creaked

your head turned
and you saw me

but you were drunk

you hobbled over to me
and we both sat on the bed

"hey emily" you slurred

i sighed
i pretended like i didn't want to be here

but i did

"hey luke"

"you're beautiful"

"and you're drunk"

"i am drunk and you're beautiful"

i gave you a stern look
and you shrugged in response

"just stating true facts, emily"

i mumbled a sure

you looked at me in the eyes
and you said softly

"and tomorrow morning,
i will be sober
but you will still be beautiful"
