High Off Love

Chapter 31

October 23rd

"Alice your not going to go get drunk at some club without me!" We started raising our voices at each other about five minutes ago.

"You can't tell me what I can and can't do." I say but my voice sounds a lot more higher pitched than I expected. I walk into.. our.. room and search through my drawers that he made mine. "I'm going and there isn't anything you can do about it."

"Dammit Alice!" He hits the top of the wooden night stand on the side of the bed with his fist. I jump at the loud noise.

"No not dammit Alice. You are the one who drank first! So dammit Toby! Dammit dammit dammit!" Somewhere in between my little rampage I fell into tears. I probably look pathetic. I'm sitting on the floor crying. Yeah, I definitely look pathetic.

Toby comes to me and sits next to me. "Don't." I hide my face.

He scoops me up into his lap. "I'm so sorry baby." Even though I am really upset his words still make my stomach flutter.

"It's just that you drank. After everything we have done together you drank." I cry to him. He holds me and tells me how sorry he is.

I scoot off of his lap and look him in the eyes. "I think I need a break." I stay strong and don't let his curious eyes break me.

"A break?" He questions.

"I need to stay away for a couple days, and think." I stand up.

"Think about what?" His eyes are full of curiosity.

"Think about a lot of things. I need to think about what I want to do with my life."

"I know I just want to be with you. Do you not want to be with me?" He stands up next to me.

"Of course I do, but I just need to think." I grab my bag from the closet.

"You can't think here?" He follows me all around.

This is killing me. It's hard to tell his big blue eyes no. "I'll be back in a couple days." I get clothes out of the closet. I pack for a couple days, and Toby hasn't taken his eyes off of me. "I love you." I give him a quick kiss and leave. I feel really bad for doing this, but I need to think.

Toby POV

She's gone. Alice just left me standing alone in the living room. She packed some things and left. My mind replays her walking out the door. She looked back at me and then shut the door. I never wanted her to leave. It feels empty in here. She would still be here if I wouldn't have drank that vodka. I could be kissing her soft lips, but she isn't even here.

My vision starts to blur, the floor starts to spin, ringing takes over my ears, and I fall on the floor.

Alice's POV

I get to my car and realize I forgot my stupid keys inside. I ponder on the sidewalk. Should I go back up there? How else am I suppose to go? I walk back up the stairs. He is probably still standing where I left him. His blue eyes still watching the door. I turn the door and find Toby on the ground.

"Toby!" I gasp and bend down next to him. I grab my phone and dial nine one one. I tell them what has happened. I shake him and try to wake him up. Tears come to my eyes. Minutes later I see ambulance lights through the window. The paramedics come through the door and surround Toby. I watch with a heavy heart as they load Toby up.

"What's wrong with him?" I ask frantically.

"We aren't sure at the moment, so we are going to take him to the hospital." The paramedic informs me.
