The Last Punch

“OPEN!!” I firmly said whilst I was aggressively pulling at the door. Tears were still silently falling down my cheek. I ignored them and tried again to get in. I pushed on the button to buzz up to her apartment.
*BUZZZ*
no answer
*BUZZZ*
“Who is this?” Alex said tiredly on the other end.
“Alex.” I said quickly
“Yeah? It’s me.” He said, assuring me that he in fact was Alex too.
“Alex, cut the shit. It’s Alexandria.” I said again.
“Shit. The door will be open.” He laughed tiredly and buzzed me in. I scoffed and pulled the door open. Making my way up to her apartment felt like the longest time. Once I got to their floor I quickly ran to their door, tears still trickling down my face. I pushed it open and Mel was sitting on the couch waiting for me.
“Babes!!” She hopped up and ran over to me. “I missed you so much Al!!!” She hugged me tight and didn’t let go for a while. This made me cry harder, I don’t know why. Maybe just the feeling of knowing someone is there for you makes you feel like you can fall harder. “Babes??” She pulled away and looked at my face. She wiped away my tears with her thumb and led me over to the couch. I slowly lifted my hand to show her the note. “What is this?” She said as she took it out of my viciously shaking hands. She scanned it and I watched as her eyes crossed the paper. “What th-“ Mel stopped mid sentence, almost as if she was getting tripped up on her words.
“Yeah.” I said choking down tears.
“Wait so he was a dealer?? Why did he never hit us up? Did you know?” She berated me with questions.
“I had no clue. It was on my car when I got off of the bus.” I shrugged.
“We have to tell someone…” She said standing up.
“No, He wouldn’t have wanted that.” I stood up and looked her in the eye.
“You need sleep babes…” She took my hand and led me to the doorway of the guest bedroom, I was still pulling my suitcase behind me. “Sleep tight babes… Ghostie decided to sleep alone, he’ll be happy to see you!” She kissed my cheek and walked over to her room. I walked into the room, luggage behind me. Not bothering to turn on the light I closed the door. I had been in these clothes for over 24 hours and I was ready to get out of them, so I did. As I peeled out of my clothes I felt a wave of relief come over me. I was finally done with tour and this is when I really raised it.
“Ghostie…” I whispered, motioning towards the bed. I heard rustling and a small smile came on my face. I took off every piece of clothing on me and slipped into an oversized shirt that I found in a chest of drawers. I settled into bed and soon felt Ghost cuddle by my side. As soon as I hit the sheets, happiness flooded over me. And this happiness morphed into fatigue. It set in and BOOM…. I was asleep.
I knew I wouldn’t keep up with the journal. I don’t even know where it is..
