𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐗 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It’s been three months since you and Mattheo broke up. It’s been hard on you since you see him everywhere. Your friends are his friends. Your classes are his classes. Everywhere you go, he is there too. And what’s even worse is you can see how it’s affecting him too.

His cologne you used to adore is being overpowered by the smell of hard liquor and weed, barely paying attention in class, isolating himself. It broke your heart seeing him in this condition but there wasn’t much you could do. You guys werent good together. Always having fights, both being too stubborn to apologize and not talking for days until one of you snaps and gives a half ass apology. When it was good, it was so good. When it was bad, it was borderline concerning. Very unhealthy, in other words.

One night, you decided to take a walk around the school grounds after curfew to clear your head. As you made your way to the black lake, you saw Mattheo sitting down, leaning against a tree with a bottle of liquor in his hand.

You knew it was a bad idea but your feet followed your heart and you started walking towards him. You slowly sat down beside him, his gaze staying locked on the lake adjacent to you both but you knew he knew it was you.
