Ups & Downs

Twenty five| Let Go

[David's POV]
I walk out of the apartment, I felt so stupid. Why did I let her go? Was what all I kept thinking. When I got out of the building I ran to Lizas apartment block and as soon as I got to the entrance I saw her, her bags were packed and she was walking to an uber.
"David?" She says as I run up to her.  "What are you doing here?"
"Stopping..you from..leaving" I say as I try to catch my breath.
"Why? Im just...visiting family"
"Alex said you were leaving for a while..why?"
"Because it hurts to be here"
"But isn't Houston worse? You almost -"
"That was Highschool David, that was ages ago, I need to move on" She shakes her head and continues to walk to the uber. I figured that I couldn't stop her anymore. I watch the car drive away and I was angry with myself.

I walked back to my apartment slowly that night, I didn't know what time it was and I didn't want to know. I had a million thoughts in my head now. I was angry with myself as well as upset, I look up and see my apartment building I walk up to my apartment. I unlock the door and see that its 3am, I grab my phone and a found two bottles of Vodka in the fridge. I take them back to my room and flop onto my bed. I take a shot and then I have the whole bottle. I put a random CD into my stereo and turned up the volume.
"David what the fuck are you doing?" Alex opens my door.
"Wha-ts it look li-like?"
"Give me that" Alex takes both bottles from my hands and shuts off the music.
"Why are you drinking at three thirty in the morning?"
"Be-cause Lizzz-a is moving on"
"What?"
"She-She went to thee airport"
"So why are you drinking?"
"Bec..ause I hate my-self"
"You're not old enough to drink yet David"
"Wha-ats it matter to you?"
"Just..let her go David, theres no point" Alex walks out of my room, I switch off my light and flop back onto my bed.

Hes right. I need to let go.

I get up and change into jeans and a shirt, I put on my shoes and pick up my phone. I walk out into the kitchen and see Alex standing there.
"You're finally up"
"Shouldn't have stopped me Alex"
"David do you hear yourself? Why didnt you want me stopping you?"
"How am I supposed to live, to function or to do anything without her?"
"David, you need to let go of Liza, she isnt coming back!"
"You don't know that! Why did you stop me? Liza is moving on..and.."
"And what?"
"Maybe I should leave, go back to Vernon Hills"
"Now youre just sounding like her! You cant leave because of one person"
"Im leaving, you can't stop me..Im leaving"
"Chicago isnt going to help"
"I mean Im leaving for good" I leave my apartment and slam the door behind me. I walk out onto Hollywood Boulevard and call an Uber.

"The airport please" The driver nods and I look at my phone.
