Gambler was angry. What, all the women met will tell him that he is not an adult? Especially he was pissed that the girl was his age.

— Give her the adults, — he kicked the sofa. — I’m twenty-three, where is the grown-up?

He kicked the couch again and sighed heavily. He
knew that he was not angry with the girl, but simply because he
practically did not have the strength to continue living like this. He did not understand how people constantly fall in love … why bother every time? Perhaps, he will be enough once, if he can get out of this painful love.

He squinted at the door and grimaced. Now he have to apologize to the girl for a sudden outburst of anger. He brushed his hair with fingers and opened the front door.

— Hello, I’m your new neighbor, Samantha! — the girl started cheerfully and looked at the young man who opened the door to her. It looked absolutely unimportant, somehow exhausted, and black eyes were extinct and looked at the girl without any emotions.

— Nei…neighbor? — he blinked his lashes, as if he did not quite understand what was being said to him.

The girl squinted at him sympathetically, probably the young man is not quite … umm .. mentally full?

 — A neighbor, moved in this morning,

— she said as slowly and tenderly as possible. — Do you have any adults at home?

The boy changed in the face. In the black eyes flashed an evil light and he cried out:

— I’m an adult!

He slammed the door in the face of the girl.

The girl looked at the door in bewilderment. What made him so angry? It is necessary to meet with the guardian of the young man and apologize, never know what he will arrange at home!

The coffee became uncomfortable. The girl went into her apartment and began to take apart the boxes, but she constantly returned to her thoughts. Here is the poor fellow.

A young girl inspected the boxes with enthusiasm. Not so much to disassemble them for a long time, but all that is necessary for the life of one it has. But… where did she put the purse? Thirsty for coffee. Ask neighbors for some coffee? At the same time and get acquainted? Good idea!

She went into the corridor and knocked on the next door. At the knock for a long time no one answered and the girl already wanted to leave, as the door slowly opened.

He rented a small apartment near the work, very tiny and reminiscent of his old one, even in the life before last. And life was almost the same, except that he no longer wanted to play.

He was alone again. And he understood how he managed to get out of the silence in the house. In
the morning he, without opening his eyes, tensely tried to catch the
familiar breath next to him, held out his hand and ran into the
emptiness.

He was silent again. Did not try to communicate with colleagues, and they also avoided an incomprehensible young man. It suited him.

Evenings were just him again. He could do anything, but he did not do anything. He came home, went to bed and looked at the ceiling with unseeing eyes. To eventually fall asleep, wake up in the morning and go back to work.

But he did not worry for himself. He was worried about the idea of ​​how a woman lives, who was completely alone. And every morning he firmly promised himself that he would abandon everything and come back to her and spit on everything. But, of course, he did not go anywhere.

He
lived a few months in this city, finally saw the snow and realized that
this winter with its humidity and cold winds does not suit him at all. He constantly froze, especially at night and seriously thought that he could die from this eternal dampness.

And he still did not want to live. Time was coming to an end.
