All for you

Chapter 10

Hero's POV

Days seemed to fly by as my every night seemed to repeat the one marking my two weeks apart from her. Despite the crowd being a lot more minimal, my lips would devour the taste of any liquor I could get my hands on, drowning away my problems in a millisecond.

My calls towards Anna became nonexistent as the desperation to see Jo's face was soon replaced by my overwhelming need to taste something bitter. I finally found a way to cope, a way to detach myself from my reality without a single tear shed.

It was on the 21st-day mark that my lifestyle was forcefully ended. As a pounding on the door rang through my ears, I instantly began calling the names of my fellow roommates before realization hit that they headed out hours ago.

"I'm coming, I'm coming" I shouted in the loudest voice possible with the alcohol flowing through my system.

"What the fuck Hero?" said the imposter as her eyes widened at my state, 'what are you even doing here?'

"Mercy, the question should be what are youuuu doing her" I slurred whilst pointing at her face as laughter invaded the entirety of my body.

"Right I'm putting you to bed big boy" she didn't hesitate in saying as her legs guided me straight to my room which replicated the state of a pigsty.

"Now go to sleep you prick" she spoke whilst plugging her nose before making a quick exit out of the room.

Her departure only did the polar opposite of what I desired. With no liquid to drown away my thoughts, her face and our memories became printed at the forefront of my mind for the first time in a week.

I thought back on our first meeting, the day I was introduced to the girl who would twist my heart in more ways than one without a single idea from my 20-year-old self. I remember the exact second I spotted her in the hallway, the pictures I browsed over google didn't even slightly patch up to the beauty I was witnessing at first hand. Her plump lips moved at a steady rate as her eyes failed yet to align with my own. The second her and Anna finally noticed my appearance, her beautiful grey eyes focused in on my own only sending a whole new set of shivers down my spine.

The next memory my drunken state took me to was the day our lips finally touched in a nonfilming environment. After a lengthy chat between just the two of us over our futures, I couldn't resist the impulse to lean into her inviting features and take what I'd tried so hard to withstand. Relief seemed to flood through me as she only leaned it further soon leading to us both removing the clothing covering our bare skin.

The final memory was one I tried hardest to push away. With my eyes tightening in desperate need to forget, I eventually managed to force myself into a nightmare ridden sleep, her announcement of lack of love for me replaying at every single chance.

Waking up to the sound of my phone vibrating against the flat surface to my right, my head instantly began banging as the noises usually at a comprehensible level seemed ten times louder. After the fourth ring, my ears couldn't take much more forcing my arm to reach out and grab the device. Not even bothering to look at the name written on the screen, my fingers slid across the glass in one swift motion.

"Hello" I spoke slightly annoyed at the disruption and the sound which came with it.

"Hero, what the fuck I've been trying to ring you all morning" the female responded causing my eyes to zoom in on the small digits in the top left corner.

Looking at the numbers showing 7:13 PM, I knew instantly the voice came from someone living in the states forcing my eyes down to the contact information only to see Anna's name.
