Unfinished

“I can’t stay here any longer,” he said, forcing breathe out from his cracked lips. “I’m going somewhere else.” His eyes were dark, lifeless, his skin yellow and bruised. He always had bruises on his arms - must be a side-effect from all the alcohol he consumed. “What? Have you been sneaking around with that WOMAN?” she said, raising her voice, tears collecting in her waterline. He huffed and pulled out a glass vodka bottle, uncapped the lid and started to spill the clear liquid down his throat when she snatched the bottle out of his grip - now, tears streaming down her cheeks. “DON’T YOU EVER PULL THAT OUT AGAIN! I TOLD YOU I HATE IT WHEN YOU DRINK LIKE THAT!” she gasped. “I TOLD YOU,” she yelled, “I told you…” she whispered, suddenly yearning for his protection, like a baby needing the security and safety of its crib and the soft reassurance of the cold, silky blankets. She wanted to bury her face in between the folds of his shirt yet all she could think about was how much she despised the man. And here he was standing in front of her. She wanted him to take her in like he used to do all the time after they fought. She wanted his arms around her, his long fingers to brush through her hair and his breath on her cheekbone. She hadn’t realized she was so close to his body now, reaching out for him, until he grabbed hold of her shoulders and shoved her back. She stumbled back, praying gravity would keep her upright and not let her fall but the piercing sound of glass shattering on the ground vibrated in her ears. Everything blurred as the aroma of alcohol rose from the kitchen floor. She clutched her shoulders where his fingers had just dug in her skin and soothed the tender area with her thumb. “Now you just shut the f**k up,” he said, “and look what you did. Clean this up.” he growled.

It's really good, but as I told you before, PARAGRAPH BREAKS! The similies were really good, and you had really nice description.
