    ... stuffed in the pockets of his jeans, nervously shifting from one foot to the other. He was wearing a t-shirt I’d gotten him when he missed the concert of one his favorite bands. His brown hair looked wild, and a light beard graced his jaw. It made me happy to see him disheveled like this, I didn't want to be the only one grieving our break up. He knocked and called out, “Angel, I know you’re here. Come on and open up.” I swallowed, my throat suddenly painfully dry, “What do you want?” He jumped and peered through the peephole, I hurriedly stepped back. “Open the door.” I shook my head, forgetting that he couldn't see me, “What do you want, Chris?” There was a long pause before he answered, “I still have my key, I was dropping it off.” “Put it under the doormat.” After a moment he said, “It’s under the doormat.” “Okay, now leave.” After a few moments I tip toed to the door and looked through the peephole again, he was still there. I prayed that he would just leave, I didn't have the strength to deal with him right now. He was looking at his boots, his shoulders slumped down. I watched him like his for several minutes, it took everything in me not to open the door and throw my arms around him.

He grabbed my arms and pulled me to his chest. I struggled wildly against him, kicking his shins and biting him where I could reach. He grunted and picked me up, stepping into the house and kicking the door closed behind him. He set me down to me my feet and I shoved him away from me, angrily pushing my hair from my face. “Get the fuck out of my house.” I seethed, my breathing labored. “I’m sorry.” He came towards me, “Please just listen to me for one second-” “I’m done listening to you, Chris!” I cried, “I've listened to your shit for eight years and all you've ever done is lie to me, I’m done.
