- Her -
*April 2, a year and a half from present year*
"Yes, we're heading home now. I called a cab." I say to the phone wedged in between my shoulder and ear.
I glance at the drunk man slumped beside me.
"No, it's fine. I can manage."
Of course, I can. I've been doing it almost every day for a month now. Ever since she left.
"Yup, I'll call you when I need anything. Bye."
I feel his head drop down my lap as he continues mumbling incoherently.
"Hey, if you drool on my lap again, I'll kill you for sure."
I stiffen as I feel him wrap his arms around my leg.
"What do you--"
His arms wrap tighter as I hear his sharp inhale. I feel droplets of water on my legs and as I move to reprimand him, what I heard next killed me. Soft sobs.
He's crying.
My tears fell down almost instantaneously and I know in that instant I'm doomed.
To love this lonely man.
Even if his broken heart would never be mine to fix or touch.
