Gym Class Sorrow [Book 2]

I'm Stuck Here Sipping These Codeine Cups

Chris's P.O.V.

"Can you tell me if I'm at the right place?" the hooded man looked up at me, causing his hood to fall and I could see a pair of chocolatey brown eyes staring at me. He had a piece of paper in his hand and was shaking from the cold. "Um yea, here let me see." I reached out to grab the paper but awkwardly touched his hand instead. I recoiled on instinct and the man looked startled. "S-sorry I-" I felt an inherent need to apologize to this man, but I had no clue why.

"Its okay man." he smiled at me, his breath making clouds in the air around us. I forgot what he asked me for the slightest second but I quickly recovered. I looked at the paper and saw that it said "234 OAK MEADOW TERRACE." Fantastic. "Yea this is the right place," he smiled a straight white teeth smile, "we're actually neighbors..." I coughed nervously. He smiled at me again and took the piece of paper back. "Well that's good, looks like I have someone to show me a good time." he winked at me and walked towards the car that he had first come from. The street lights and snow making a halo around his frame.

*Slight Time Skip*

I walked into my empty apartment, void of most furniture. I lived exactly as I did before I met Jesse. My fridge was bare and I had little to no decoration, save for a few pictures of Jess and I. I didn't want to admit it but the tall blond stranger next door intrigued me. His brown eyes may be just what I need to finally move on. Those thoughts quickly vanished as I grabbed a bottle from my cabinet and cracked it open. Tonight is not filled with brown eyed strangers, tonight is filled with sorrow. Tonight, like most nights,I want to forget.

Just getting back into the swing of things.
