Last Flight Home [completed]

Short Story

It was one thing having an extended layover at the airport on a major holiday. It was another thing to have searing-hot coffee spilt all over my white shirt. And maybe it was another thing to get stuck in an elevator with an arrogant college student...

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE

Hey Sabrina. It's me, Nathan. I've paced valleys through the floor of Andy's apartment and I hear the news channel echoing from the other room. I've been diving around for a while, telling myself that somewhere out there you're alive. After I left the fire station, I drove to the bar I always used to get kicked out of with a fake ID, and got drunk enough for them to kick me out yet again. I walked eight blocks back to the apartment, and somewhere along the way I lost my left shoe. I'm lost, and for the first time in my life I've found someone just as lost as myself. I thought you were going to lead me out of the woods, but now I'm more lost then ever. I don't know what to do. The alcohol is starting to leave my system and the closer I get to sobering up the more I want to drown at the bottom of a bottle. Maybe that'd be easier, who knows.

The only thing I know is that I love you.

No, I loved you. Past tense now.
