Maybe Someday [Milo Manheim]

Gone

October

"It's official sources have confirmed that Milo Manheim and Auden Rose have called it quits after 4 years—-" The sounds of glass crashing made Mason and Owen jump as they stared in shock at the now smashed tv and the broken vodka bottle, laying in parts along the floor.

The apartment fell silent, you could hear the ragged breaths of the very upset 21 year old. His friends turned around to see him as he opened up yet another bottle of vodka pouring yet another shot into a glass.

Milo's eyes were bloodshot opening them as he felt the burn in his throat. It was raw at this point he'd been steadily drinking for a week now, it was officially day 7. The first 48 hours after she left he had drank enough to send him to the ER, completely black out and Auden was called since she of course was still the emergency contact. She never came for him instead she made sure Mason would collect his friend, bringing him back to his apartment. That was one of the problems this was their apartment, except now all her stuff was gone but the countless photos of them remained on the walls for him to see each day.

After Mason discharged Milo from the ER he started taking a shot almost every hour. It was just enough to keep him in a constant state of bitter numbness so he wasn't crying over her photos for hours on end.

"Four years.." His dark laugh caused his two best friends to look up worriedly at each other, they had never seen Milo act like this and honestly didn't know what to do besides watch him to make sure he didn't get caught by paparazzi acting like this.
"I should've known she was never going to stay with me, I was never good enough for that bitch.." Rubbing his eyes he walked over to the wall grabbing another frame before smashing it like he had with countless others. His fingers pulled another one off the wall but before he could smash it his eyes saw her beautiful face standing next to him.
She was absolutely gorgeous but what broke him was how she was looking at him like he was her whole world as he posed for the red carpet they were at. He choked on a sob as it started to bubble up.

Pulling the picture to his chest the tears began to fall again, he was kneeling on the floor in their living room on the stupid rug in front of the stupid fire place. He had made love to her so many times on this rug and now there he was clutching her photo, surrounded by all the things he had destroyed in his rage the past week.

"Baby come back, please baby come back.." Mason and Owen felt their own hearts hurt for their friend. He was completely broken, he wasn't himself and they were worried that this was it. That he would never recover from this. "You p-pr-promised you wouldn't leave me, Audie you p-promised.."

"Mi I know it hurts like hell but you gotta pull through this." Mason practically begged, his own voice cracking as he rubbed his friends back. What were you suppose to do when your friend was falling apart in the worst way?
Then again, while Mason and Owen felt horrible for him. They couldn't help but be a tad pissed off at their best friend as well.

Milo had brought this on himself.
They knew it, he knew it, she didn't have a choice.. he didn't give her one.

When it falls apart..
January 2022

"Happy New Year!" Milo drunkly cheered into his girlfriends ear. She couldn't help but laugh, still wondering how he was even able to talk his way past the bouncer that let him into this club.
"And happy birthday baby, 27 years old... we will definitely celebrate that when we get home." Mused the 20 year old as he held his girlfriend up against him, the fireworks exploding in the sky above them. Suddenly the roof was way too crowded and too hot despite it only being 30 degrees outside.
