"Magnolia you are exhausting." Greg screams at me as a tear rolls down my cheek

"Yeah go ahead and cry just like you always fucking do" he laugh almost psychotically

"That's not fair" i whisper

"No this is what you always do your so sensitive I can't be around you" he yells

"you just cheated on me. What do you expect I? I give you a fucking hug?" I argue back as he lifts his arm

I close my eyes knowing what comes next

The familiar feeling of the end of our fights.

I tell Greg the truth. He hits me. Then he leaves, comes back drunk and apologizes promising never to do it again. And I believe him.

"Get out" I say as I hold the throbbing spot on my face as he sighs

"You'll fucking see Maggie." He says leaving closing the door

Seconds later there is pounding on it

"Go away" i scream as the pounding gets louder

It doesn't stop and I sit down curling into a hall as the pounding gets louder and louder

Make it stop

Make it stop

Make it sto-

I shoot up in my bed breathing heavy and tears coming out of my eyes

It was only a dream. I sigh looking at the clock that reads 2:29.

Just as I'm about to lay back down I hear a pounding at my apartment door

I get up to see what it is carefully guiding myself through the dark apartments only a little bit of lights from the clubs peering through my curtains

I get to the door and open it

"Charles?" I ask as his head shoots up and immediately I know he's drunk

"Ms.America!" He slurs as I poke my head into the hallway looking both ways twice before pulling him inside my apartment

"Are you drunk" I ask turning on the lights as he walks around my living room

"Most definitely" he says fixing his look onto a photo on my shelf to the right of the the tv

It was a picture of Justin and I from Our Junior year Powderpuff game. I was kissing his cheek as he was holding Pom poms

"Is this your boyfriend?" He asks picking up the picture

"No, an old friend" I say walking over to him
His eyes move to the next photo which is a picture of me with Kelley and Devyn in Jupiter a month before I moved

"And I thought you couldn't get more irresistible" he chuckles to himself

"What?" I ask as he turns to me really look into my eyes

"What's wrong Ms America?" He asks

"Nothing just a bad dream" I say wiping my eyes

His eyes soften ever so slightly
