A New Year

01-01-2010 Friday

At exactly 3:00 in the morning, Alex came and I'm glad because I don't have to give him up. I'm glad because he is with me this New Year. My gramma is already asleep so we tiptoed inside the house.

He hugged me and whispered, 'Happy New Year' in my ear. There was a faint smell of beer in his breath and I wrinkled my nose. He laughed at my reaction and claimed he only drank a glass or two. I don't believe him but was too tired to argue, besides, he's with me, that's what mattered the most.

I can tell that he was tired by the look in his eyes. I started spreading blankets on the floor where he'll sleep while he brushes his teeth in the bathroom. When he returned, he plopped down on the blankets I prepared. I sat close to him. He put an arm around me and I'm thankful that we're together. It meant a lot.

He's warm beside me and I felt my eyes getting heavy. He kissed me on my cheek, whispered, 'let's sleep now'. I nodded slowly, and climbed up to my bed. In less than a minute, I drifted off to sleep.


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
Peace. Love. Live Well.
