You could only describe you and Mercury’s relationship as pain. That was all it could bring you. Pain and tears. Your relationship was unstable, mostly him being the cause.

When you had split up, you thought you were doing fine. You even got a new boyfriend. But he only reminded you of Mercury. Your new boyfriend gave you the opposite of what Mercury could.

Although you thought you would be pleased with that, you weren’t. You found yourself craving Mercury endlessly. At night, you’d pretend he’d hold you again, never letting go.

A few days ago, your boyfriend had left on a work trip. You decided to have a few drinks, but a few drinks turned into a few too many and a phone call.

That morning, you woke up to a pounding in your head. You rolled over, just to find Mercury asleep next to you, his shirt off and angry hickeys all over his chest.
