“One more shot of tequila please,” I yelled loud enough for the bartender to hear over the loud music buzzing from the speaker. 

He nodded his head and poured from the bottle into the tiny transparent cup. He passed it to me but as I was about to take it from the table, someone else beat me to it. 

“Oh, bummer.” I turned slowly to see it was Aiden. “Buzzkill,” I said drunkenly and pushed him away. 

“It’s time to go home, you’ve had too much to drink.” He lifted me from my chair and returned the shot to the bartender. 

“I don’t want to go back there.” I pouted and caressed his face. I was about to ruffle his brunette hair when he stopped my hands. 

I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. “When will you ever let me touch your hair?”

He ignored my question and tried lifting me from the stool. “It’s been over two years already, you don’t have to live a miserable life because of him.” 

“You don’t have to keep on saving me,” I responded with a normal voice. “I’m not living a miserable life, I’m having fun.” 

“Drowning yourself in alcohol almost every day isn’t called having fun.” He said, giving me a stern look. “You don’t even hang out with your friends anymore.” 

A huge grin broke over my lips and I stared at him for a few seconds before responding. “Who needs friends when I have you?” I teased him and stood up from the chair. 

He took a step back, watching to see if I was going to be able to walk on my own. The floor was blurry and I was a little bit dizzy, so I staggered as I was about to raise a foot. Aiden placed his arm over my waist to prevent me from falling. 

“Thank you.” I smiled at him and we both walked to his car. 

Aiden always came to my rescue when I made unhinged decisions like going out alone in the dark to get drunk at a bar, without knowing how I would go back home. 

I didn’t have a car and he always had access to my location. He had forced me to share my location with him ever since I started getting myself drunk. 

I just wanted to forget the pain. 

The car ride back home was silent. I just rested my sleepy head on the window of the car admiring the beautiful town of Hawkins, while Aiden drove the car. 

Normally, he would scold me and lecture me on how I was ruining my life. But I guess he was tired of repeating himself without seeing any changes. 

I was glad he wasn’t tired of me or gave up on me because I literally pushed everyone else away. No matter how hard I tried to push Aiden away, he still didn’t leave me. 

After a short drive, we finally arrived at the house. It was dark so the only people roaming around the compound were the guards. 

Aiden parked the car and quickly walked to the door of the passenger’s seat. He opened the door and helped me out of the car.
