{Aspen's POV}

Soon enough, someone bangs on my door.

"Aspen!"

I smirk to myself.

There it is.

"Yes?" I call out innocently, fighting back a laugh.

"Open this damn door right now." I recognize Kohen.

"Dear me, the door is much to far and I am simply unable." I say.

"Aspen." He says sternly.

"Kohen." I match his tone.

"That's it." 

Here we go.

The door suddenly bursts open. He kind of broke the door. His red face and obvious fury tells me he's in a pissy mood. 

I smile at him.

"You didn't even give the door a chance." I remark.

"Aspen, are you f*cking wasted?" He walks in further and comes close to me.

"I'm sober as can be. Why brother dearest do you ask?" I ask, getting up from my bed and backing away.

"Drop the f*cking act Aspen." He says.

"No Kohen, I am not drunk." I deadpan.

"Then why is there a smashed vodka glass underneath your balcony?" He questions, starting to corner me.

"I believe I saw a seagull drop that. It was certainly and interesting sight, must've lost grip on the thing." I say, now trapped in a corner.

"Aspen, I get it, you're f*cking pissed. I would be too. Drop the snarky remarks and answer the damn question. What were you doing with the vodka?" He asks.

"I was going to drink it." I tell him truthfully, looking him in the eyes. His face turns into one of concern. "I couldn't bring myself to, so I threw it off the balcony" I look away from him.

"Why?" He whispers.

"Because." I look back at him, "I wanted to know what it feels like."

His face softens and he takes a step back.

"You wanted to know what it feels like?" He repeats quietly. He looks away, seemingly debating something before looking back at me. "You wanted to know what it f*cking feels like."

Before I can say anything, he turns around and leaves the room, slamming the already broken door shut on his way. I let out a shaky breath, slightly surprised at his reaction.

Before I can recover fully, the door opens again. I look to see Kohen walk back in holding a case of beer and the whiskey that was under his bed. He drops them on my bed and leaves again without making eye contact.

I'm left bewildered.

I walk slowly to the alcohol and stare at it, shocked.
