๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ whom you broke no contact with on a shitty night when you decided to get stupid drunk. a night in which you had planned to be carefree, had turned to your head in a toilet at a lousy party. you fumbled with your phone, scrolling through your contacts. your mind is racing, knowing you should have restraint to not even think about her right now. but then again, itโs in your instincts to call her when your world is falling apartโ although itโs been months since you have heard her voice.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ answers the phone to a slurred voice, her heart pounding, already knowing your mental state if you willingly decided to get this shitfaced drunk. she doesnโt have time to take a breath before sheโs scrambling for her keys. in her ear is your muffled sobs and your whiny โi need youโs.โ the word baby slips from her lips before she can coherently think on what to say to you, all she knows is that sheโs already in her car.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ she stays on the phone with you the entire drive. if thereโs a couple minutes of silence, sheโs calling your name repeatedly, asking are you okay. abby arrives in no time, shoving past mobs of people, spotting you from behind- she could tell you apart from anyone within a mile, all she needed was a glimpse of you from any angle. the first sight of her, you notice the worry in her eyes, however your eyes are low as you try to keep them open from the pounding in your head and the churning of your stomach. you feel the light weight of a hand on your waist with her breath against your ear, โhey.. hey, iโve got youโ youโre okay,โ she would stutter out the entire walk to her car. you were basically a dead weight, latching onto her shoulder, โiโm fine..โ youโd mumble the whole time. abby would only give a slight huff, the one youโve known for years, โyouโre not fine, iโm gonna get you home okay?โ you nod, a thank you coming out as a whisper, because despite the months apartโ you still knew that when you call, abby comes.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ the ride to your house is awkward silence. besides the times that youโre gagging, desperately trying not to puke. each time youโd hurl forward, abbyโs hand immediately finds your chest, gently pushing you back against the seat, as she lightly gives your thigh a slap, โdonโt throw up in my fucking carโ need me to pull over?โ you know she doesnโt mean it harshly. abby has always had a terrible fear of vomit, and she loves her car almost as much as she loves youโ well, used to love you. you can hear the panic underneath her irritation, the way her voice softens the second she asks if you need her to pull over.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ she lets out a sigh of relief when you both safely arrive to your house with her car interior clean. abby looks to you and sees youโre barely conscious, head against the windowโ eyes fluttering shut. โweโre here,โ she says with a quiet tone. you only hum in response, abby unbuckling her seatbelt before leaning over you to undo yours. โgonna get out or am i carrying you?โ your eyes shut with a smile and abby just rolls her eyesโ โcarrying you i guess.โ
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ abby was stiff the whole walk inside. she hadnโt forgotten what it felt like to carry youโ have you this close to her, and somewhere between the walk from her car to your door made her realize how much she missed you.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ who was supposed to just drive you homeโ shouldโve just took you to your doorโ instantly crumbles at your muffled โpleaseโ in her chest. โplease whatโโ she asked, her breath hitched.โplease stay,โโ you sounded pathetic.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ entering the door with your weight flush against her was a struggle. not because you were heavyโ god knows she had thrown you around in the pastโ but because all of you felt too familiar. abby had spent months teaching herself how to live without you, and now her mindโ her hands are filled with everything she never moved on from.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ her steps falter. โyouโre drunk,โ she whispered more to herself than to you. โyou donโt know what youโre saying.โ you only whine in response, your body clinging even closer to herโ if thatโs possible. your hand finds her braid, twisting it, before wrapping around her neck, leaving goosebumps down her skin. โplease donโt leave me,โ you whisper for the millionth time. abby swallows. โiโm not the one who left,โ she blankly says to you.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ who lies you on the couch as if youโre something fragile. when she starts to move from the couch you immediately reach for her, โdonโt leaveโโ โiโm not going anywhere.โ she returns with a glass of water, holding it to your reach. โdrink,โ she simply states.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ who insists on getting you out of the skimpy clothing you had chose, into something more comfortable. getting you into your room wasnโt much easier than getting you from her car to the couch, but she managed. you lie on your bed, humming to yourself as abby dug through your drawers, trying to find something for you to sleep in. her lips curled as she listened to the hums and the casual things you were blurting outโ god she missed your voice. โyou could stay, you know.โ abby pauses. โiโm staying until youโre okay.โโ โno.โ you smile at her, and for the first time tonight, your eyes meet. she canโt help but smile back. โi mean.. stay.โ she breaks the eye contact, going back to what she initially came in your room for. she already knew exactly what you meant. โyou are drunk.โโ you hum, โdoesnโt mean i donโt want you.โ abby shuffles through the drawer, jaw tightening.
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ returns with an oversized shirt and a pair of sweats, tossing them next to you on the bed. โchange into that yeah? and sleep.โ you stare at the clothes for a few seconds before looking up at her. โhelp me.โ abby sighs, โyou have two functioning hands.โโ โbut i want yours.โ abby snarks at your sloppy words and the cringiest, cutest smirk to exist. โwhat?โ you mumble. โyou used to help me.โ abby rolls her eyes. โyeah when you were coherent enough to understand what youโre even saying right now.โโ โi know what iโm saying. i still prefer you.โ abby shakes her head but grabs your arm anyway. โarms up.โ you lift them, letting her pull the shirt over your head, โmissed that.โ abby steps back, focusing her eyes on anything but you. eventually she chooses to stare into your eyes again. her eyes would always be drawn to yours whether you had 20 layers on, or zero. โyouโre drunk.โโ โyou keep saying that.โ โbecause you keep forgetting.โ you lean forward, grabbing her wrist and abby instantly stands back in front of you, close enough for you to smell her cologne mixed with her muskโ the smell you never got tired of. โmaybe i just wanted an excuse for you to undress me again.โ abbyโs eyes go low, staring down at you with her lip between her teeth. she didnโt know whether to laugh, sigh, or just leave. instead, she grabs your shirt, gently putting it over your head as you slip your arms through. she nods to your sweatpants, โuse the bathroom and put them onโ and sleep.โ you grumble, โyouโre no fun.โโ โand youโre fucking drunk.โ abby shakes her head, examining you for a moment with the smallest smile. โgo to sleep.โ
๐ฎ๐!๐ช๐ซ๐ซ๐โ the second she stepped outside and the door clicks shut behind her, abbyโs restraint sheโd been holding onto all night finally starts to crack. god, she wanted you. every time she felt your touch, every slurry commentโ it took everything in her not to give in. she wanted to kiss you, wanted to hold you even closer and pretend that the months without you had been a bad nightmare. but you were drunk, and she knew better. so she had to swallow every impulseโ remind herself that whatever you wanted tonight, couldnโt be trusted until you were sober enough tomorrow to want it. and somehow, walking away from you tonight, felt worse than anything thatโs happened since the breakup.
