FORGET ABOUT YOU

daniel rolled his eyes as ophelia complained about being bored once more.

"there's never anything to do around here!" she complains, stomping her heels against the tile floor.

"then go somewhere else, ophelia! quit bugging me!" ophelia scrunched her brows together.

"what did you just say to me?" ophelia asked, hands balling her red skirt.

daniel gritted his teeth. "aller quelque part ailleurs."

"va te faire foutre, daniel!" ophelia yelled, turning on her heels to leave.

"don't retour." daniel said, watching as ophelia swung the green door open.

"you'll regret this." ophelia snapped, slamming the door behind her. daniel watched as she stomped away before getting on her bike.

the house became silent, and for some reason daniel couldn't help but to let a tear slip out of his eye. he quickly wiped it away though.

daniel removed himself from the living room and made his way to the kitchen, picking up the phone. he wrapped the cord around his finger as he dialed jonah's number.

"hello?" jonah asked from the other line.

"hey. it's daniel.. uh, could you.. could you come over? i think i need a drink, a-and i need someone to drink with. do you want to go out?" daniel asked.

"i mean, i guess. are we going out or staying in?"

"we would go out, have fancy drinks. on me." jonah nodded from his couch, grinning.

"i'll be over in twenty. be ready." daniel smiled.

"i will, see you then." daniel placed the phone back on the wall before sprinting upstairs to get ready.

light purple button up and cuffed jeans, greasy hair. as he waited, he lit a cigarette and stood on his balcony. he took a drag on the cancer stick before flicking it onto the cement floor, rubbing it in with his shoe.

he hoped a night on the town with jonah would fill the gap of sudden loneliness he felt. daniel trotted downstairs, walking into the bathroom to overlook his appearance one final time. he paused in his steps at the sight of makeup ophelia had left behind.

daniel picked up the bright blue, purple, and pink eyeshadows and gently placed them into the trash. a wave of sadness washed over him as he did so, but it was interrupted when there was a knock at the front door.

"coming!" daniel called, making his way to the front door. he gently opened it, revealing jonah on the other side. his hair and shirt were damp for the light rain outside.

"would you like to walk or bike? it may be raining but the sunset is absolutely beautiful." jonah said, grinning as he glanced back at the sky.

"we could walk. that would be lovely." daniel said stepping out of the house, closing the door behind him.

the air smelled of flowers and rain, and daniel kicked small pebbles as they walked down the streets of france. daniel explained ophelia and his breakup, and as they walked along jonah places his hand on daniel's lower back.
