Awsten's POV

Laughter from the studio audience erupts out of the tv speakers and I laugh at the cliche 90's sitcom show.

The sofa dips slightly and I turn to see my boyfriend with a slight forlorn expression upon his face. My smile falters.

"Your Mom just called." Geoff says and already I know what's coming. He says something else, an apology perhaps, but I'm unable to hear it over the loud ringing in my ears.

I'm vaguely aware of a warm body being pressed against mine but I can't breathe. I can only focus on inhaling and exhaling; I can't. I'm drowning.

I'm drowning and screaming yet no one can hear me. An internal battle rages on and I'm losing. Water cascades down my face. The numb inside me won't leave.

I lost. I lost the battle just like my father did.

He's gone.

I'm drowning.

This is sad. Short and sad The next two are sad however they're longer and sad. This is an apology for not updating yesterday however there will hopefully be two, or at least one, later on. I promise. I don't have any happy story ideas atm but if you have any then you can comment or pm me any requests and I'll tag you and give you all the credit. Anyways, hope you enjoyed and, as always, have a good day/afternoon/evening :) xox
