Chapter five:
Christian's Inferno
Further into Christian and Gloria's relationship, Gloria falls into a depression. She won't tell Christian what's wrong, and he's getting pissed off. Soon, Christian's mother dies, and Christian is even more angry. He takes over the apartment that he and his mother lived in. Freaking out, he finally gets Gloria to crack. She tells him that her mother died, and that she has no money, and is unable to live in her apartment. Christian shares that his mother also died. Christian finds that whatever Gloria does doesn't really help him, and he has to focus on cheering Gloria up. Now that Christian's apartment is half as vacant, Gloria moves in with him. Still, Gloria senses that Christian has a lot of anger built up, yet no amount of comforting, alcohol, and sex will cheer him up. Christian didn't care about how he felt, only about Gloria at this point. The comforting didn't help, as Gloria was just too sad on the inside. The buzz of being drunk was a fun distraction, and the sex was great. But he had to work on helping Gloria out.
