It was a peaceful night. Emma was on her balcony. She didn't usually spend a lot of time there, but the silence of the streets and the smell of flowers and trees made her unable to resist going outside. It remined her of those summer nights she would spend alone, even tho it was early spring.
She wanted to go outside for a walk, but it was too dangerous. It was 2AM and the streets were filled with perverts and drug dealers.
She took a deep breath in, slowly shutting her eyes. She remembered last summer. On this day last summer, she probably hang out with Ethan and Grayson. Those were good times. She still loved both of them, even tho they weren't necessarily friends anymore.
Since Ethan and Emma broke up last year at the end of summer, it was kind of akward. They tried hanging out after but things were diferent. Especially after Ethan got a girlfriend. She lived in Australia, but it was still wrong.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. She quickly stood up, shuting the balcony door behind her. She expected Amanda or Olivia. She opened the door and her eyes locked with the hazel ones. The ones she hasn't seen in months.
She gasped.
"E-Ethan?" She said
He looked at her. Something looked diferent. His eyes were lost. His legs were crossing and he was holding onto the door frame.
He looked... drunk.
"What are you doing here?" She asked
"Emma!" He smiled as he threw his arms in the air, wrapping them around her neck. She tried to pull him away by his chest. She sniffed him, and her eyes widened.
"Did you dr- are you drunk?!" She yelled
"M-maybe" he smirked as he stumbled to her couch.
She closed the door "but. Weren't you sober your whole life?" She asked
"Meh. Who cares about that" he rolled his eyes.
"Why did you drink so much" she said as she took some medicine and a glass of water.
"Because I missed you" he smiled
Her breath hitched.
"Ethan stop. You have a girlfriend!" She yelled
"Not anymore" he rolled his eyes again.
"What! Why??" She asked, sitting down beside him
"I don't know. We weren't meant to be" he said
"And then you decide to get drunk because of me?!" She yelled
"I missed you Emma. I love you still, and I'm sure we can work things out if we tr-" she stopped him
"Don't talk nonsense now! You broke up with Kristina, got drunk, and now you're telling me to get back with you?!" She asked
"That's exactly what happened" he laughed
"I- I don't know what to say" she said as she gave him the pill
He took it and started drinking the water.
"I got to call Grayson" she said
He spit out the water
"No! Please! He'll tell our whole family I got drunk and they will love him even more than me!" He said
"They- what?" She said
"He's the favourite son Emma. You know that. Everyone does. I'm a fucking failure. Im the extra child" he said
