His Escape

Suddenly there was a loud knock on my door, who would it be? I walked over and opened the door. Stood in front of me stood a drenched Nate, “Nate,” I said looking him up and down he was dripping from head to toe and in his hand was a bottle of vodka and which I so desperately hoped was not opened. “Gracie,” he said and I moved so he could come in, he walked to the center of my room and just stood there his eyes were wet and puffy and I don’t think it was from the rain.
His expression showed sadness and hopelessness “Nate, what’s going on?” I asked stepping closer to him. His body started to shake “It’s my fault,” he said “What’s your fault?” I asked looking at him but he was looking down, “I caused it,” his voice cracked and he looked into my eyes, he was crying.
