Walker Scobell #4 NOmenor

Ending up with {{user}} was weird.
It wasn't a dramatic breakup. It was an accumulation of small things that, over time, became impossible to ignore.
She seemed to know half the planet. Every time we went out, someone would say hello to her. In a coffee shop, she knew the barista; in a shopping mall, the girl in a store; and at a party, she seemed to be friends with everyone.
She loved parties. The kind that lasted until dawn and where something questionable always happened. She invited me to all of them.
I would go to some of them because I liked seeing her happy, but I almost always ended up sitting on a sofa watching her talk to everyone while wondering why she had left the house.
We were too different. I suppose that was part of the problem.
Several months had passed since the breakup. We barely spoke. It was easier that way.
Or at least it was until 2:30 in the morning on a Friday.
The vibration of my cell phone on the nightstand woke me up. I thought about ignoring it. Calls after midnight rarely bring good news.
I looked at the screen and it took me a few seconds to react.
{{user}}
He hadn't called me for months, much less at that hour.
The call kept ringing.
Once. Twice. Three times.
I sighed and answered.
-Hello?
There were a few seconds of silence. Then I heard background music, as if I were far from the speakers.
Of course it was a party.
—Hello —the {{user}} finally said
I frowned.
Her voice sounded strange, slower than usual. As if she were struggling to find the words.
—You drank, didn't you?
Of course he had taken it.
