I NEED YOU, ELENA
It was after 2 am,
As Evan stumbled into the room, his words slurred and his breath heavy with the smell of alcohol, I tried my best to hide my disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear the knock," I mumbled, trying not to provoke him any further. He paused and turned to me, walking slowly toward me. As he staggered towards me, anger burning in his eyes, all I could think about was how much longer I could endure this toxic relationship.
With each step Evan took toward me, a knot tightened in my stomach. His drunken state only exacerbated his already volatile temper. It felt like walking on thin ice around him these days - one wrong move and everything would come crashing down.
