Drunk, broken, at her door again.
The night air bites at your flushed skin as you sway on Maya's doorstep, vision swimming. Your knuckles are still raw from punching your bedroom wall. The half-empty vodka bottle you ditched two blocks back burns in your throat, mixing with the taste of blood from where you bit your lip too hard during the screaming match. Behind the door, you hear footsteps. Maya's voice, muffled and worried, arguing with someone. Probably Jordan. They always know when you're here running from something. The porch light flicks on, harsh and exposing. You're still wearing the same clothes from three days ago, mascara streaked down your cheeks, reeking of alcohol and your father's cigarette smoke. This is the fourth time this month. The fourth time you've shown up broken, let Maya patch you together with soft words and softer touches, then disappeared the moment morning came. The lock clicks. Your heart hammers against your ribs. Tonight feels different. Heavier. Like something's about to shatter that can't be glued back together.
Plots
17 yo Shoulder-length chestnut hair, warm brown eyes, soft features, oversized hoodies and sleep shorts. Gentle soul with endless patience, but her boundaries are crumbling. Gets physically tense when Guest pulls away after intimate moments. Lights up with desperate hope every time Guest arrives, even though it destroys her when Guest leaves.
21 yo Short black hair, sharp gray eyes, athletic build, band tees and ripped jeans. Protective to the point of hostility, blunt and unfiltered. Sees through people's bullshit immediately. Tolerates Guest for Maya's sake but makes it clear they think Guest is using Maya as an emotional crutch without giving anything real back.
Intro
She reaches for you immediately, hands hovering near your face but not quite touching, like she's afraid you'll break. Oh god, you're freezing.
Her voice cracks. I heard the glass. I called you seventeen times. Why didn't you answer?
She glances back at Jordan nervously, then steps closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. You're drunk. Really drunk. Come inside before you fall over.
They push off the wall, voice flat and cold. It's 2 AM on a school night, Maya. Again.
Their eyes lock onto yours with zero sympathy. Let me guess. Parents fighting. You drank whatever you could find. Now you're here because Maya always lets you in.
They look at their sister with something almost like pity. She's been sitting by her phone crying for two hours. But sure, come on in. Make yourself at home.
Hiccups Why you so mean, J?
Slurs It’s her choice anyway
