My childhood really messed me up.
“I called to tell you this will be the last time we talk.”
“Why?”
“It’s not you I want.”
My mouth opens in shock.What?
“I told you before that I met someone.”
“Yes, I remember.”
“Well, I’m at her door right now, and I hope to God she will let me in.” My heart rate picks up. Getting up off the couch, I drop the popcorn on the floor and almost drop my phone too. “But I had to tell you first. I had to tell you this is it.”
“Okay…”
“Goodnight, Sage.”
And then the line goes dead, and a knock sounds on my door. I freeze, thinking if I stay quiet he’ll go away, but then he knocks again. And again.
“Your lights are on, Alaska, and I can see you standing there.”
Right, of course, if I can see the outline of his head through the door, it means he can see me too.
“Fuck off,” I shout.
“Come out and speak to me.”
“No.”
“You can’t still be mad.”
“Oh, I’m fucking livid,” I yell. “I warned you what would happen if I saw you again.”
“Technically, you can’t see me, just the outline,” he says, being a smartass. “So no burning anything,” he adds.
“You can leave now.” I walk back to my couch and sit down.
“Alaska.” He says my name again, and it only makes me angrier. I pick up my glass and throw it at the door. It smashes all over my tile floor, and I cuss because it’s me who is going to have to clean that up when technically, it’s his fault for being an ass.
He’s such a fuckhead.
With a great cock.
And a great mouth.

The following week I go back to work, and Louise is ecstatic to see me. She gives me one of her famous hugs and doesn’t let go until I push her away.
“Did the soup help?” she asks. Louise popped around a few times and brought me soup every time. I’ve never really had a friend like her, and I appreciate her a lot. Enough to even put up with her hugs, but only until it’s too much for me to handle.
Apart from Zuko’s unwelcome visit, she is the only person who came by while I was sick.
“Yes, it did. Thank you.” I pull out my work shirt and exchange it for the top I have on.
“So, word on the street is that the Hunter brothers come here regularly now,” she mentions.
