20/04/18 - 1 year, 2 weeks, 6 days a/b (after breakup)
The car was filled with silence. A deafening silence. That was aside from the gentle purr of the engine and the occasional bump in the road. Neither of us wanted to turn the radio on. Will was sternly facing forward as he drove down the country roads.
Rain began to slowly tap the windscreen, causing Will to sigh.
I just stared out of the window and listened to the rain. My stomach began to turn due to travel sickness, but I didn't care.
I just wanted to get home. I was sick of being in this small car with him.
I glanced at him. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he had bags under his eyes. He looked exhausted. As if on cue, he yawned. I looked in the mirror and saw that I looked no better.
I put my head against the headrest of the seat and shut my eyes, waiting for the comforting black to consume me. I wanted to slip into a world where I didn't have to worry about Will.
That world never came, however, as I couldn't sleep. My mind was unwilling to slow down, and my stomach did not want to calm.
I simply opened my eyes and looked out of the front window, looking at every tree as we sped down country roads and counting cars as we raced through the highways.

The car slowly pulled into my building's parking lot. I got out and opened the boot, and Will helped me get my stuff out.
"I'll take it up with you," he grumbled, his politeness not shaken by our argument. I just nodded and took a bag up as he got my suitcase. He was mumbling under his breath, and once we got into my flat, he threw the suitcase on the sofa.
"For fucks sake, Will! My laptop is in there!"
"It's a fucking soft fall, Cas. It's fine, stop being so dramatic. It's annoying," he sighed, annoyed.
I took a deep breath. I was tired of his shit. His attitude.
"You know what? Maybe we rushed into this. Maybe we broke up for a reason, Will,"
"Fine. Be that way. I don't need you in my life," he glared at me, bags under his eyes.
"I wish you never came back, Will. My life was shit, but it was better without you in it!" I felt like screaming, but I was only yelling.
"Oh fuck off! I had a brilliant fucking life before getting back with you! A hot girlfriend, banging channel, a gorgeous flat in London, and not having you changes nothing!"
"Leave." I put my bag down. He nodded, red in the face.
He marched out.
He was gone.
I instantly regretted it.
How had everything gone south so rapidly? It felt like everything had crumbled. I was alone again.
I needed comfort.
Somebody. Anybody.
Alex.
After waiting 5 minutes to make sure Will would've left, I went to Alex and George's flat and gently tapped on the door.
Alex answered.
"Oh...Cas. Look...I was drunk last night, I shouldn't have pho- ," I kissed him. After the initial shock had worn off, he kissed me back. He gently wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me inside as I shut the door behind me with my foot.
"What about Will?" he mumbled.
"Gone. He's gone, Al." I mumbled back, making sure I didn't cry.
"Good. Now I can do this," with a sensual kiss, he led me to his bedroom.

Clothes were strewn all over the floor. Breathless, we laid beside eachother in pure bliss.
"That was a one time thing," he whispered, looking at me. I nodded.
"Yeah. I don't wanna ruin our friendship, Al," I mumbled loud enough for him to hear.
"But seeing as we've done it once today..." he trailed off. I smiled and got on top of him.
"We can't make any more mistakes, right?"
Round 2.
