chapter 1

I woke up the next morning, and Benjamin was gone. I got up from my bed and went to the study room to see if he was there. I saw him passed out, an empty whisky bottle beside him, and broken glass on the floor. I cleaned up the glass from the floor and put the empty bottle in the trash. I left the room after cleaning up the mess. I had gone to the kitchen to make breakfast for Benjamin and me. Benjamin had woken up and walked down the stairs. “Good morning,” I said as I smiled. “Good morning to you too,” he replied. He had gone to the table to eat the food I had just made. I joined him at the table and ate my breakfast. “I have to go to the office today and I won’t be home till 10 pm tonight honey” he had said. I had looked at him and all I said was “oh okay have fun with your OTHER GIRLS”. I had run to my room and slammed the door after I had said that. Benjamin runs up the stairs after me and stops at the shut door.” dannazione si apre la porta dang” (god damn it open the dang door) he yelled. “No, non sto aprendo la porta” (no, I'm not opening the door) I replied. “bene allora essere pronti per stasera” (fine then be ready for tonight) he said walking away. I gulped. “Im screwed now…” I told myself.
