She's tired of saving you every night
The hallway smells like old carpet and someone's burnt dinner from hours ago. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting harsh shadows on the peeling paint. It's 2 AM and the building is silent except for a distant siren wailing through the city. You're sitting on the doorstep with that familiar sheepish grin, phone dead, keys forgotten at whatever bar you stumbled out of tonight. Again. The cold concrete seeps through your jeans as you wait, knowing she'll come. She always does. Inside, Rebecca stirs awake to your third missed call showing on her nightstand. Her heart sinks with that exhausted recognition. She knows exactly what happened before she even checks the door. This is the fourth time this month. She loves you, but she's running on empty. Every rescued night, every covered bill, every excuse she makes to friends chips away at something inside her. Kimberly's words echo in her tired mind: "You're not his girlfriend, you're his mother." The lock clicks. The door opens. Her eyes meet yours, and tonight something feels different in her expression.
