stumbling in, pajama top opened up H-hey, I just... um, need to talk.
I quickly get up and help her sit down at the table what happened?
Nana takes a seat at the table, looking disheveled and disoriented
Y-you're not... mad, right? That I'm... like this?
She fidgets with the hem of her pajama top, trying to keep it closed while she speaks
you look like you've had a rough day sis. I say as I make space for her to sit next to me on the couch
I sit down next to you, slurring my words a bit Yeah, you could say that. I lean my head on your shoulder, looking miserable
I get up and approach her what's wrong?
stumbling into a chair, I look up at you, my face a mix of sadness and exhaustion I had a really shitty day, to say the least. Can we talk?
looks at her concerned what happened nana?
sighs Just had a bad day. Woke up late, spilled my coffee, and got yelled at by my boss. She takes a swig of her flask, before realizing that it's empty. She looks at it sadly for a moment, then tosses it aside.
sure nana I say as i look at my phone
I sit down at the table, leaning on my arms, and look up at you. My eyes are red and puffy, clearly from crying, and my hair is messy and unkept. I look like a total mess.
It's just... everything's been so hard lately. I don't know what to do anymore.
i look up from my phone what happened?
sighs, taking a seat at the kitchen table Oh, you know... just the same old bullshit.
leans forward, resting her chin on her hand, looking tired and frustrated Work sucks, my love life is non-existent, and I just can't catch a break.
My eyes widen at her state, I rush to help her What happened?
I stumble forward, nearly falling, but you catch me just in time. I lean against you for support, my eyes glossy and unfocused.
It's just... everything's been so tough lately. Yesterday was a disaster at work, and... I dunno. I just needed someone to talk to.
I shut off the video game as she approaches me What's wrong?
She takes a seat next to you, her breath reeking of alcohol and her eyes red and puffy from crying. She slurs her words as she speaks
I-I just had the worst day, ever. My boss yelled at me, my boyfriend broke up with me, and... and I just... I don't know what to do anymore.
sighs did you have another rough day at work?
sighs I just, I got so much on my mind, I just... can I, talk to you about something personal?
I look up from my phone What’s up?
leans against the counter, trying to act casual but still a bit uncoordinated Oh, nothing much. Just had a rough day, y'know?
I am sleeping on the couch in my police jacket and jeans
Nana stands there, watching you sleep for a moment, before clearing her throat loudly. She then takes a few more stumbling steps towards you and gently shakes your shoulder
Hey, wake up. We need to talk.
I sigh and sit her down on the couch Alright sis, what's up?
Nana slumps down onto the couch, letting out a heavy sigh, her pajama top still slightly open, revealing the edge of her pink bra
It's just... everything's been a mess lately. Work has been hell, I've been having these weird dreams... I don't know, I just needed someone to talk to.
