Alex.

I watch as Fallon makes her way across the dance floor, stumbling while trying to reach the bathroom without peeing all over herself. I laugh and smile to myself as I recall what she just told me and although I know she’s drunk, I know that she meant it. Fallon loves me, something that I never thought could be possible again.

My happy thinking is disrupted when someone slides into Fallon’s seat knocking her drink to the ground. “Oops!” The person, a girl, giggles. The voice is familiar and when I look up, I realize why. It’s Kelsey in all her bitch glory. My eyes instantly narrow and look around, searching for a way to escape.

“You can’t ignore me Alex.” Kelsey says, waving her hands in my face. I’m uncomfortable, just being near her bring back old memories that I'd rather not relive, and I’m praying for Fallon to please just come back and save me from this.

“I can try.” I mumble loud enough for her to hear me and roll her eyes.

“I just want to talk. How are things?”

I glance over at her and scoff. When does Kelsey ever just want to talk? She leans towards me flirtatiously trying to show off what little cleavage she has and I lean back, not wanting to get to close to her in case Fallon comes back. "You should leave." I already screwed things up once, but I somehow managed to fix it and I'd rather not have Kelsey come back and ruin everything by being too close to me.

Kelsey pouts, trying to look seductive and cute at the same time, but achieving neither. "Alex," She whines. "Just talk to me. I miss you."

I sigh and run a hand through my hair. “Things are fine. Everything’s great after I had to clean up all the shit you got me into. I bet you’re pissed to find out that Fallon and I might just be getting back to where we used to be.” I say this proudly and with a bit of attitude, hoping that news of my growing relationship with Fallon will make her leave. But nothing with Kelsey is that simple.

She smiles at my words and leans forward a little more, reaching over to run her hand along my arm. “You and Fallon are great? That’s good to hear.” She slides closer to me and looks over her shoulder, her smile brightening. “But, isn’t that Fallon over there leaving with, oh god is that, Daniel?”

My attention immediately snaps over to where she’s looking and sure enough, Fallon is leaving with Daniel. Their heads are close together as they exit and my stomach twists in anger and fear at the sight of the two of them together. “That, that doesn’t mean anything.” I stammer, quickly trying to dismiss any bad thought of Fallon and Daniel together. There has to be some kind of explanation. She just told me that she loved me for fucks sake.

Kelsey looks back at the door again and when she turns towards me again her eyebrows are raised. “Doesn’t it?”

I don’t reply, but I don’t take my eyes off the door. Fallon has to come back. Maybe she just went outside for some fresh air and Daniel just happened to be there. Or maybe he 's returing some things to her because of their break up. I keep replaying these possibilities in my head hoping that one of them might be true and Fallon will stumble back through those doors. But after what seems like forever, Kelsey puts her hand on my arm and turns her face up toward me. “She’s not coming back Alex.”

Her voice sounds so sure and I realize that Kelsey's right. Fallon left with Daniel right after she told me she loved me. Of course she didn’t mean it. She was drunk and I was there, ready for her to lie to. I’m pretty sure she would’ve told anyone that she loved them, but I happened to be the only one present.

I’m suddenly so angry and hurt and I look down at Kelsey who’s still looking at me. “Do you want to get out of here?”

She smiles as if she’d been waiting for me to ask this question all along. “Of course.”

…

We end up back at my place although I don’t remember anything about the drive here except for the fact that Kelsey did not remove her hand from my lap the entire time. The moment we step through the door, Kelsey lips are all over me and I try to get into it, but all I can think about is Daniel and Fallon. Why did she do that? I wonder as Kelsey peels off my shirt, droping it in the doorway of my bedroom.

“Alex,” Kelsey gasps, even though I’m barely touching her. I decide to focus on this, on her, and I crash my lips to hers, forcefully shoving her back onto my bed.

Kelsey smiles, obivously pleased with herself, and quickly sheds her clothes. I don’t focus on her body. I can’t find it in me to care about the details of her. I can only care about Fallon and I can only find myself wondering what she’s doing with Daniel.

Kelsey reaches for the bulge in my pants, the result of too many thoughts of Fallon naked even if she isn’t with me, but I push her hands away. I don’t want Kelsey to touch me. I want Fallon to be here so we could be doing this right, but she isn’t and at the moment I only want to release my anger and frustration and Kelsey doesn’t seem to mind. I want to get back at Fallon.

After fumbling around with the condom, I quickly push myself into Kelsey, grunting as she moans. While I pound every ounce of my anger into her, I’m imagining Fallon fucking around with Daniel which drives my anger even more. I push my hips harder, grinding into Kelsey’s, barely registering her loud moans and her fingers clawing at my back. I don’t feel any pleasure as I release, spilling into the condom. I don’t feel anything, but raw anger and confusion as Kelsey cuddles into my side, dropping kisses down my arm.

As I listen to her breaths slow, the only thought on my mind is Fallon and I wonder if she’s thinking of me. I wonder if she regrets what she's just done with Daniel or what she might still be doing. I sigh, rolling over pulling myself out of Kelsey grasp, wondering why when everything starts to go well, that’s when everyone winds up kissing the wrong person goodnight.
