Alex woke up. Memories from last night flooded her mind. Gene. They came back up to her place. They had a few drinks, and started dancing together. And they nearly kissed. She glanced at the other side of the bed.

He wasn't there. He didn't stay with her. She wanted him to. But at the last minute he left.

Muttering to herself she got up. Shuffling on her feet, she stood in front of the mirror, and stared at herself.

What the hell is wrong with me? she thought to herself chasing after a man who doesn't even like me in the first place.For a moment Alex just closed her eyes and wished that she could forget everything that happened last night.

"what the hell!" she screamed "stupid, stupid woman!"

She looked at the clock. She was supposed to be in work by now. But she couldn't face him. She could never face him again.

Not after what he told her.

They were happy.

Gene had his arms around her, as he kissed her forehead.

Alex looked up at him, with the biggest grin on her face.

She was about to say something. But he leaned in closer to her. Getting ready to kiss her.

However before he did, something had appeared on his face. Shame? Guilt?

She couldn't tell. She used to be able to. But at that moment she couldn't. He moved away from her. Trying to hide the expression on his face.

"I can't do this Bolly" he said stepping towards the door "I can't"

Alex frowned at him as she tried to touch his arm, but he stepped further away from her. Almost as if she was causing him pain, just by touching him "What do you mean?"

Gene sighed grabbing the door handle "you and I...it will never work" he opened the door and took a deep breath, his eyes avoiding hers "I never wanted this to happen...I never wanted us to happen".

Alex blinked away her tears as she watched him leave. She stood there. Silent tears rolling down her face.

After half an hour, she turned around grabbing the closest bottle of whiskey and drank some of it, before throwing herself and the bottle onto her bed.
