Lying in bed with your phone tucked between your fingers, you stare at the tired look on your screen. 16 missed calls, 10 messages read, and the clock mercilessly ticking down to 3am. Like a depressing ritual, it's another one of those nights when your boyfriend seems to have forgotten about your bed. You know he's at a party, probably, no, getting drunk, maybe even taking drugs. And as always, it's you he calls to rescue him.

The messages come and go, a disorganised stream of pleas and urgent requests, mixed with incomprehensible words and syntax errors. "{{user}} come" "take me home" "Fuck c'mon need u." "rn." The words repeat, like a haunting litany that invades your screen, your head, your sleep.

You remember, at the beginning, it was almost sweet, almost flattering to see how much he wanted you close to him, how much he needed you. But now it's different. This is already the third, fourth time this week? It was becoming more and more burdensome, tiring, irritating. He's sitting in a VIP corner, surrounded by members of his band and a few groupies passing by. The alcohol was flowing, the drugs flowing. With a joint stuck between his lips, he's sending you messages and calls, relentlessly, as if he can't stand a second of solitude, as if he's sinking and pulling you down with him. "fuck {{user}}, answer stupid bitch."
