Who: Benjy and Oliver
What: Making bad choices
When: Wednesday night
Where: Starting at Oliver's flat. We'll see where it goes from there.
Benjy was drunk. He shouldn't have been, he knew that, because he made stupid decisions while drunk. Decisions that didn't only hurt hin, but everyone around him. He was stupid and continually messed up.
But Penny hadn't come back and whenever he went to see Newt, which he tried to do at least once a day so the kid wouldn't forget him, she would be distant. Benjy was losing her, his family and his life. He was messing up.
And so he was drunk. He'd opened a bottle of whiskey for just a tumbler when he came home from work. One tumbler full had turned into most of the bottle turned into somehow he was banging on Oliver's door to his flat.
What? How had that happened?
Oliver was the source of his problems, so it probably made sense he was there. And while he knew that wasn't actually true, he'd messed with Oliver and they had both messed up enough to get Benjy in trouble and leave Oliver hurting, but that didn't sound as good when he was drunk and wanted to be angry. He wanted to break something. Or break down and cry. He wasn't sure what would happen when Oliver opened the door. If Oliver would open the door.
He probably shouldn't open the door.
Benjy thought he was muttering to himself, but it was very possible he was actually yelling at the door, threatening it and whoever or whatever may have laid beyond its facade.
