Serena stopped when heard glass breaking.
She knew Dan has changed his adress and now he's living at the hotel while there's a rep in his hew flat. So she was going there and already stood by his door when heard clank.
She slowly opened the door and was shocked by the terrible smell of sigarettes and alcohol, pieces of glass everywhere and opened windows, lots of papers on the floor and Dan breathing deeply near the window.
- What's happening here? - she asked, taking a step towards Dan.
- Nothing happening! - he suddenly shouted, taking off his T-shirt and drinking a glass of whiskey at one gulp. - Nothing! - Stop, please, - she took a bottle and put it on the table. - Why are you doing this?
- Nothing happening!
He looked like an angry animal, and suddenly Serena felt scared. He was so drunk that it was impossible to talk seriously now. But she remembered his promise to be there whenever she needed, so, maybe, she should have been there for him that moment? Maybe, he really needed her?
- Nothing! I'm just fucked up with all my mistakes, all the wrong choices and everything running through my head! Why can't I be like all them? She breathed in and felt tears covering her eyes. His silhouette was blurred.
- Why can't I get it right? You're the only person I care about and you're not ready just to listen to me, and that's-
- Dan... - she whispered.
- What? - he shouted.
Serena took off her jacket and came closer to him.
- What?... - he repeated quietly, staring into her eyes.
She saw his eyes reddened a bit, and she felt more scared. Because of Dan nearly crying, and maybe she was the reason. Her eyes also filled with tears once more, but Serena didn't want him to notice this. He was kinda soul-naked behind her, he was weak, and she honestly wanted to calm him down.
- Shhh... - she hugged his shoulders, making him put his head on her shoulder. She moved and sat on his bed, feeling his chin touching her neck, and Dan also moved with her.
- What the hell am I doing wrong? - he whispered while Serena was wiping her tears and holding him like Dan was her only child.
She loved him; of course, she did.
Dan woke up and realized his head is on Serena's tummy and he's holding her waist. He sat on the bed and saw her blonde hair and waves of her yellow dress on his pillows, and he couldn't resist and lightly kissed her neck, trying not to wake her up. His fingers played with her hair and she was smiling in her sleep. When he looked around he noticed glass and spots on the carpet. He remembered everything that happened yesterday and felt ashamed.
She was there, with him.
