Like Romeo and Juliet [COMPLETED]

Nine

"Yes, I will be your girlfriend," I smile.

"Good," he sits up on his elbows and kisses my lips over and over again.

"Can you just hold me, please?" I ask.

"Yeah."

He moves to his side and I lay facing him.

My face in his chest and his chin on my head. His hand rubs my back and our legs are tangled together.

I want to stay like this forever.

All of my problems are fading away, I feel fit and beautiful with Elijah. He makes me happy.

I'm happy.

***

I wake up and roll over.

Elijah isn't there.

I sit up and Cameron is still laying on the couch.

I get out of bed and grab my windbreaker.

I walk downstairs and find Kevin and Elijah in the kitchen.

"Kevin?" I ask.

The time on the stove says 5 pm.

His head shoots back to me and he smiles.

Elijah puts a hand through his hair and comes over to me.

"He's drunk," he explains.

I place a hand over my mouth.

Kevin hates getting drunk.

"I got this," I say.

I walk over to Kevin and he holds a bottle of vodka in front of me.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

His eyes are red with big bags under them and his hair is a mess.

"I- I hate myself," he frowns and takes another drink of the vodka.

"Can I have some?" I ask.

He hands me the bottle.

I turn around and pour it into the sink. Thank god Kevin didn't notice.

"Why do you hate yourself?" I hold both of his hands.

"I didn't help you when you needed me," he starts to cry.

Kevin is the emotional and angry drunk. Right now I just hope he stays emotional, it's easy to get things out of him.

"When was this? You're always there for me Kev, this is nonsense," I laugh.

"When you got pregnant," he says. "When Bryan left you and I didn't do anything. I just got drunk and cried. I let your parents take you to have an abortion, I didn't do anything to help."

"Kevin don't blame yourself," I hug his torso since he's sitting on the counter. "It's not your fault. I didn't even want to see anyone, I just wanted to grieve. You know how hard it is."

"Yeah, I do," he hugs me back. "But I hate Bryan. He's such an asshole."

I start to laugh.

"I second that," I break our hug.

He smiles at me.

"I wanna hurt him, he hurt you," he slurs.

"No, no Kevin. That was two years ago, everything is okay now," I say.

He jumps off of the counter.

"No it's not. He hurt you, he's still trying to be with you and I hate him. He even threatened to hurt Haley, I can't take this anymore," he walks off.
