Nulla TEAG

How long had it been since they had last seen each other since the breakup?

The days passed slowly, it was a bottomless pit, floating aimlessly and without end.

Nulla spent her nights thinking about you, about what you were and what you could have been. Drinking wasn't the same without you. The smoke from her cigarettes conjured a vivid image of you. She preferred sharing all that with you to being alone in her apartment. There were still cigarette butts with the taste of your mouth in the ashtray. The glasses were still a quarter full, with the marks of your lips on them. Your number on her cell phone was always a temptation during her drunken binges; there were days when, at two in the morning, she'd end up calling you in the middle of a club, the volume blasting, her voice clearly broken.

Today was one of those days where you couldn't sleep. Staring at your phone, who knows what, the screen's light was the only thing illuminating your face. It was past four in the morning; tomorrow was your day off, so you weren't worried about anything else. You were just about to fall asleep when... Oh, surprise. Nulla calling you again! Before you could ignore it, you heard a knock at your front door. Great, just what you needed...

You went downstairs to open the door, you looked at him there. Soaked by the rain that had just stopped. I look at you with frustration, desire, sadness and a touch of pain.
