I press the cold bottle to my lips, liquid seeping down my throat.
Burning pleasure rises in my chest as I swallow, the alcohol flowing through my blood stream.
Salty tears reach my lips also, melting in with the bitter drink.
I tip my head back, the last drop leaking into my mouth.
I stand, tripping slightly. A laugh bubbles up my throat, and out my parted lips.
The laugh turns into frustration as I realize the bottle is empty.
My heart beat picks up, anger seeking through my skin.
I pull my arm back, directing it across the room.
The bottle shatters as it hits the wall, falling to the floor in a pool of glass.
I sink to the floor, my eyes heavy and body drained.
My body, however drained, feels relaxed. The pain I felt before drinking is reduced.
A knock sounds at my door, causing me to flinch. I roll my eyes, "Nobodys home," I yell, though it comes out more of a giggle.
My laugh ceases and my blood runs cold when I hear his voice, "Kayc?"
I bring my hand to my mouth, fresh tears clouding my vision.
"Kaycee, please open the door," his voice sounds strained and tired.
I stay where I'm at, tears threatening to spill to my cheeks.
His voice alone brought back so many memories. One in paritcual that I didn't want to remember.
Flashback
(A/n you guys are about to hate me for this.)
"I don't want to do this anymore." I hear Sean say as he sits in front of me, my hands in his.
My hands begin to shake as I pull them from his, "Do what?" My voice is thick with fear.
"This, us."
A lump rises in my throat, my eyes glossing over. "Wh- what do you mean?" I stutter.
He sighs, standing up. "Its not the same anymore Kayc. The love once in your eyes isn't there anymore, and I see that."
I shake my head, tears coming now. "I've just been distant, in my head. It doesn't have anything to do with you Sean-"
"Kaycee," he grabs my hand, pulling me up. "Its not working. We need a break, some time alone." He pushes my hair out of my eyes and behind my ear.
I grab his hand in mine, leaning into his palm. "But I love you," my voice cracks even more.
His own eyes line with tears as he swallows, "And I love you too. That's why I'm ending it before we start to fight, before it gets bad. I don't want that to happen."
