Ghost In The Dark

Another Sad Day

BLAKE'S P.O.V.
I felt so beat up when I arose from my slumber this morning, everything and everywhere actually ached. My face, my stomach those I could understand but as to why I felt really sad this morning I couldn't seem to understand. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess. Wait, Bed?

I rolled off the bed surprised at how I got here because I remember Nate dropping me off on the couch

"And the street fighter Is finally awake" I heard Chris say from behind me

I turned around to see her leaning on the door frame with her hands folded and her eye brows arched. She was definitely upset

"Not only did you get into a street brawl with Nate you ended up being too drunk to get to bed on your own. I practically had to drag you up the stairs by your feet" She said still looking at me pissed

I see why my whole body hurts now

"So what do you have to say for yourself?" She asked as she leaned away from the door

"I'm sorry?" I shrugged

"Unbelievable" She shook her head and walked out of the room
I would have ran after her but I should take something for the pain first. I got into the bathroom and took the last two pills of aspirin from the cup. I'm out of pills now

I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth to get the smell of alcohol out of my breath, hopefully.

I got dressed in a white long sleeved shirt and black trousers, I picked up my weapon harness and hooked it on me before topping it with a grey trench coat.

I went downstairs to see a pissed off Christina as she stared at the kettle on the stove as it boiled and hissed. She poured the contents inside and a mug and handed it me "Drink"

I starred into the mug containing an odd green liquid that didn't have the greatest scent. I looked at her and she wasn't looking like she was in the mood for back talks. I gulped down the contents of the mug and retched at the taste but quickly swallowed it back down

She grabbed the mug from me and tossed it in the sink before rinsing it out and placing it on the counter.

"I'm sorry Chris" I said as she walked past me to the living room "I was just really upset yesterday and I took out all of my anger out on Nate"

She turned to look at me and then sighed "I'm not the one you should apologize to. You really fucked up yesterday"

"Yeah I know" I said as I took little steps towards her "Please don't be mad at me"

I held her hand and kissed the back of it not breaking eye contact. She smiled before flicking my forehead with her other hand
"Ow"

"You're not getting off the hook that easily" She said as she grabbed her bag "Let's go"

We both walked out of my house and got into my car, drove down to the station for another day of work. We got into the station and It seemed like everyone knew what I did yesterday because all eyes seemed to be on me.

"Detective Hunter" I heard Captain Adam call as he walked out from the conference room "My office, Now"

I turned to look at Chris as she rubbed my back "Time to face the Music"

I took in deep breaths before I opened the door leading to the Captain's office where Nate stood waiting and staring into the enraged eyes of Captain Adam

"What Is the meaning of this?" He said as he turned his computer around to show us the video of both of us throwing it down
We both stared at the floor with no words to describe our actions from yesterday
