Chapter 27
Tore Apart

"There's always something that tears couples apart"

Aphmau

Ugh, I hate when your left alone and your finacè is always drinking.

I don't understand what got him into drinking. We were fine until wine bottles in our kitchen started showing up.

And now, there all over this fucking house!

There no point in fighting with him when he's drunk, he'll always just keep winning and slapping me across the face.

I've been thinking on how to left this place but I'm afraid something will happen to him if I make the wrong step.

Anyways, there's my life for you, back to you.

The door opens and of course, Aaron is standing at the doorway with a wine bottle in his hand. He stumbles in and puts the wine bottle down on the kitchen counter where all the other bottles are.

I just like to watch him stumble in and then fall.

I turn away and stare back into the television.

Bang

I also fell off the couch when I looked into the kitchen and saw all the wine bottle broken on the ground.

This man has gone insane.

I got up and immediately got to the kitchen and slapped him across the face, hard.

He looks at me with rage in his eyes.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

"What's wrong with you! Can't you see we're also in debt because of your drinking problem!"

He's not even listening to me, more like trying to find a way to shut me up.

"I know your not listening but I'm done with all no sense about you're drinking. I actually had hope you would listen to me the first time instead of the million of times I tried to tell you. I couldn't believe I was gonna marry you. Well, we're done!"

I take my ring off my finger and slammed it on the counter.

I ran upstairs to the bedroom to pack all my stuff with tears streaming down my face. I got downstairs with my stuff and saw Aaron passed out on the couch.

I put my suitcase down and grab Celeste and my car keys. I grab my suitcase and close the door behind me.

Goodbye Aaron, maybe next time you'll actually listen instead of treating me like nothing.

- The Next Morning -

My eyes open to the bright sunlight breaming on me. I got up with my head spinning and to my surprise, I was on the couch.

I saw a bunch of broken bottles on the ground and something shiny on the counter.

What happened last night?

I got from the couch and walked over to the kitchen and my heart sank as I saw a ring.

Not just any ring, but an engagement ring.

It was Aphmau's.

I ran upstairs and burst through the door.

She's not here.

I saw all her stuff gone and I ran back downstairs to my phone.

I opened it and saw a bunch of messages from her.

I clicked on them and she told me everything I did last night.

Dear Aaron,

If your reading this, this means goodbye. I couldn't stand to live with you anymore after the things you done and what you did to those broken bottles you almost made me pick up.

I couldn't stand not to be loved by someone I thought I would be with forever.

Your proposal made me feel special and I thought would could have made it work.

Instead, I was beaten and slapped most of the times and felt unloved by you. So, I left because of your drinking and your attitude towards me.

Goodbye Aaron, maybe should have listened to me instead of pushing me away from you.

I also had a bunch of other messages from everyone on the street.

Well, most people.

They attached their messages with mean words and thing I didn't want to hear from them.

What am I gonna do with my life now?

- 2 Months Later -

I drowning in darkness with how the way the house is.

All the blinds are closed and I'm drowning in tears and darkness.

My drinking problem also hasn't got any better.

Ever since Aphmau left me, my drinking has gotten worse and worse by the days.

People still send me mean and hateful things everyday.

It's like I'm drowning in everything that hates me right now.

I honestly want to kill myself. I can't see myself going on with all this stress.

Drinking down another bottle of beer and threw it at the wall in front of me.

I don't keep track of how many bottles I've thrown at the wall but just know it's a lot on broken glass lying on the floor.

My phone rings meaning I have a message.

Oh great, another hateful message against my will. I hope they know I stopped reading their messages.

Sigh.

I roll off the couch and land on the ground.
I try getting up but I've lost the strength to even get up.

It's not easy when werewolves loses their mates. Maybe, I should have listened to her instead of driving myself insane with all this drinking.

I want her back but how am I supposed to do that when the only thing I know what to do is drink and drive myself with getting her back.

I finally got up from the floor and stumbles a bit to the front door. I took my hoodie with me and put the hood over my head.

I open the door and walked out with my hands in the pocket.

Ugh, I didn't want to feel this feeling anymore.

That feeling of sadness.

That feeling of wanting to kill myself.

That feeling of just disappearing from this world where no one will care.

I made my way downtown away from all that's happening on the street.

I kept my head down and a low profile so I didn't have to see anyone so they won't feel pity for me.

I looked up to see where I was and I turn to my right to see her standing in front of a store.

My heart sped up as my eyes kept glued onto her.

I saw her walking away from the store and I started following after her.

This was my chance.

My chance to get her back.

I kept my low profile but my eyes still attached to her.

She walked into a hotel and I saw her checking into a room.

I managed to sneak by the reception lady and followed her to an elevator.

She went first and the elevator came back to get me.

I got on the elevator and I could smell her scent leading up to the midway of the hotel.

Pushing whatever button I could, it lead me up and I got out of the elevator. Her scent was even stronger than before.

I meant I was close.

Following the scent of lavender scented perfume, her scent lead me to a door and I knew she was in here.

I knock on the door and wait for her response.

Third Person

Aphmau heard the knock on the door. She was hesitant at first thinking it was a cleaning lady or someone like that but that wasn't what she was getting at all.

She walked over and looked to the hole on the door and saw him.

Her eyes widen and fear took over. Her heart was beating fast but she calmly responded with,

"What do you want?"

She could hear his breathing through the door and how he was when he responded back but she knew he was after someone.

And that someone was her.

"Aphmau, can we talk?"

She was hesitant at first and but open the door and saw him standing there in person.

It's only been two months since she last saw him but he looked awful than before.

His hair was messy.

His eyes had bangs.

His cheeks stained with tears.

His choice in clothes were trying to hid him away for the world, judging him.

She knew that this was her fault for leaving but his fault for making her leave.

"Come in"

He walked and she shut the door behind him.

He looked at her and she looked up at him. It might have seemed awkward to Aphmau but for him, this was his chance to get her back or at least talk to her.

"Aphmau" He said while grabbing her hands.

"I want you back"

"I want you back at home where we were meant to be. The place where we would grow our family and a place where we would have our disagreements and fights but the place we loved. So please, won't you reconsider?"

She didn't know what to say but more along the words of,

No.

But she knew if she said no, he would still find a way to get her back. She didn't want to come back for many reasons like how his drinking problem caused them in debt but because of the hitting.

She took a deep breath and looked at him straight in the eye.

"Aaron. ."

"You know why I can't come back but-"

He pressed him lips against her interrupting her from what she was saying.

He disconnected their lips and looked at her eyes he missed looking at everyday.

"I know what your gonna say but please, won't you reconsider? I'll do anything for you to come back to me, I'll stop drinking, I'll stop ditching you but please, anything but no!"

He despair, isn't he?

He cried while gripping her hands tighter. She sighed.

"Fine, but only if you stop drinking"

She took away her hands from his and crossed her arms against her chest with a little pouty face to top it all off.

He smiles the first time in a while and said,

"Deal"

He hugged her as tight as he could and picked her up and places her the bed.

"Does this mean your my finacè again?"

"Sure"

He got on top of her and laid his head on her chest.

His ears popped out and he could feel her heartbeat against his ear.

Planting a soft kiss on her lips and a small smile that appear on her face.

Oh, how he missed this.
