These past three months have not been enjoyable. I've hated them, to say the least. I had to say goodbye to my lifelong best friend who just so happens to be my ex-boyfriend. But that's a story for another time. I've been studying hard for law school. I'm in my second year now, so I only have one final year left.

It was two in the morning and I was out with some friends at a bar and I was not acting my usual self. I was actually getting drunk. I never got drunk, no matter what the occasion was. All of us were calling people to come pick us up and I made the dumb decision to call the one person I had zero interest in seeing, David.

  "I just need you to come pick me up," I said.

  "Goddamnit Izzy," David huffed. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

  "Thank you."

  I hung up with David and said my sloppy goodbyes to my friends. I stumbled outside and sat on the curb, my face in my hands and my elbows on my knees.

  As I started passing out from exhaustion, I saw David's Tesla pull up. He got out of the car and helped me off of the curb. He opened the door for me and sat me down in the passenger seat. I struggled with the buckle for a few seconds before hearing the click.

  "Are you set," David asked before closing the door.

  "I'm fine," I huffed at him, crossing my arms.

  David paused for a moment before closing the door. I watched as he walked to his side of the car.

  "Izzy are you okay," David asked me starting the car.

  "I'm fine," I responded.

  "Are you sure? Because this is the third time you've done this in the past month and you aren't like this at all."

  "You know David, maybe it took you leaving me for your ex-girlfriend to find the true me."

  "Izzy I thought we were over this."

"What do you mean we David? I don't think you quite understand how it feels to have the person you love or you thought you love."

  David sighed and rubbed his temples.

  "Izzy I have apologized time and time again when are you just gonna stop fighting me and accept my apology," David shouted.

  "David I don't think I can stop when every time I see you with Liza it breaks my heart over and over again because I still love you," I shouted back, holding in tears.
