Alexander’s POVThe world came back in blurry pieces, like a bad dream I couldn’t shake.I peeled my eyes open, squinting against the harsh afternoon light sneaking through the curtains. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, pounding with every heartbeat, and my mouth tasted like I’d licked the bottom of a whiskey bottle. The clock on the nightstand glowed 2:17 p.m. I’d cried myself into nothing earlier that morning, after the hotel bill had sucked the last of my fight out of me, and now I’d slept the day away. My body ached everywhere, my jaw still tender from the punch, muscles weak from days of barely eating anything but regret.I sat up slowly, the room spinning for a second before settling. The suite looked a little better now, the broken mirror and chair hauled away by maintenance after I’d paid that insane bill, but the carpet stain stared back at me like an accusation. I rubbed my face, feeling the stubble scrape my palms, and swung my legs over the side of the bed.
