"I don't wanna go home." I complained. Robin took my hand and started leading me around.

"I don't care."

Robin had walked over to Finn. They were talking but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I couldn't really focus on anything anyways, my head was pounding. The loud atmosphere made it so much worse. After a couple minutes, Robin pulled me out of the house. We walked down the street for a couple minutes until I started getting tired.

"Are we almost there?" I asked impatiently.

"Five more minutes." Robin said. He still hadn't let go of my hand.

"I don't wanna walk anymore Robin." I stopped walking. Robin pulled me for a minute but then decided he wouldn't be able to force me to walk.

"Come here." He said, rolling his eyes at my stubbornness. He turned around and I jumped on his back. I was really tired. I laid my head down against him as he kept walking.

"The stars are pretty." I said, looking up to the sky.

"I love stars."

"I know you do Lina. We sat and looked at them once remember?" Robin asked.

"I do. I love that memory." I played with his hair and then closed my eyes. Within a few minutes, I was out.

She was really drunk. I decided to take her home early from the party. I'd rather her miss the Halloween party than watch her crash on the floor. She fell asleep on the way home. I could tell once she stopped talking. I kept walking and thankfully it didn't take long until we made it to Alina's house.

I opened the door and walked inside. Before I did anything, I went to her room and set her down gently on her bed. I went back out to the living room to look for Alina's mom. Her mom would lose her shit if she knew Lina was drunk. But she wasn't here.

I got a cup of water and then walked back to Linas room. I set the cup down on her nightstand for morning. She was definitely gonna wake up and need it. I took off her jewelry, tiara and shoes so she'd be comfortable enough to sleep. I pulled the covers over her and sat next to her on the bed. She rolled to face me and opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She said. I ran my fingers through her hair and turned my body to face her.

"For what?"

"Making you mad." She closed her eyes but I could tell she was still awake.

"I'm not mad at you amor. I just want you to be safe." I didn't want her to think I was mad. It wasn't her fault. She was drugged than tricked herself into drinking.

"Alina."

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

I waited for a response but after a couple seconds I realized she fell back asleep. I kissed her forehead and got under the blankets. She shuffled closer to me as she slept but I couldn't sleep. I knew she'd be beating herself up in the morning.

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩:
I woke up with the worst headache I've ever experienced. I sat up and rubbed my face. Robin was laying next to me, still asleep. I tried to stay quiet so he wouldn't wake up. I laid back down next to him and covered my eyes, trying to block out the morning sunlight. After a couple minutes, Robin woke up.

He sat up and looked at me. We both stayed quiet for a couple minutes and then I rolled over so he wouldn't look at me anymore. I was so ashamed of myself and quite honestly, embarrassed. I couldn't bring myself to look Robin in the eyes.

"You okay?" He asked. I didn't answer. He rubbed my back slightly and pulled on my arm so I'd sit up, but I refused.

"C'mon Lina. Drink some water, it'll make you feel better." I sat up and turned to look at him he was holding a cup of water out to me. I took it and took a sip. I still wouldn't look him in the eye.

"Alina it's okay."

"It's not okay Robin." I got up and moved over him to get out of bed. I walked in front of the mirror. God I can't even look at myself. I'm no better than my mom. Robin stayed quiet. I could tell he didn't wanna push it.

After a few moments he stood up and walked over to me, grabbed my arms and led me out of the room. He sat me down on the couch and grabbed a blanket for me.

"I'm gonna make you some food, then we can talk." He said. I didn't respond. He turned the tv on and found a movie for me to watch, then he walked away into the kitchen. It was hard for me to think, my head hurt so bad. But there was one thought that wouldn't leave my head.

I'm just like my mother.

Robin walked back over and handed me a couple snacks. He didn't know how to make food but he knew what I liked to eat since I was picky. He sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Do you wanna talk?" He asked quietly. I didn't say anything. Robin took the hint and didn't push anymore. I just hated thinking that Robin saw me acting like my mom. My mom who I hadn't seen in a good handful of days.

Robin spent the whole day with me. We mostly just sat around and did nothing but I felt safe. I don't know if it was because I'm still hung over from last night or if I'm really tired but I felt almost delusional. I slept a lot throughout the day which I was grateful for, it helped my headache go away.

At the end of the day, Robin brought me back to my room and laid me down in my bed. Since my mom was still gone he promised to stay with me. He let me lay on the left side as usual. I loved that he remembered that I like the left side.

Even though I felt like shit, robin made me feel like I was a little bit less of a monster. I still felt like he wanted to be with me which surprised me. I grew up learning I had to be perfect in order to keep people in my life. Robin changed that.

I didn't have to be perfect around him, I just had to be me.
