BRYCE

4AM

I need to find her house, I need to find her house. Which fucking houses is Maleahs. Your probably wondering. Bryce why are you going to Maleahs? She broke things off with you fuck her.

Yeah well I kinda need her help. And Addison isn't good at being the help. Mary's at the house but she has cut me off hard. We see each other almost everyday but she has me blocked on everything. Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, and this girl even found my Facebook like I actually use it. Yes, ive sobered up... Kinda sober enough to drive.

I turn down her street and looked for the house number. I think its 1327 or 1372 I don't im drunk. I'm gonna go with my gut and say 1327. I pulled into her driveway and parked my car. I walked up to her door and stopped myself before knocking. Dude she hates your guts right now she's not gonna help you... Screw it. I rung her doorbell and knocked. I heard Oasis barking and a light came on. My heart started to beat faster. I don't know if im gonna be greeted by a punch, smack, a warm greeting its unpredictable with her. 

"What the fuck are you doing here Bryce?" Maleh says opening the door. "Well hello to you too." I grin. "Goodbye." She says going to close the door. "Hey wait..." I say holding the door.  I grabbed my phone from my pocket and turned on my flashlight and showed her my face, neck, and hands. Her eyes widened. "Someone did what id dreamed to do to you. Get in here." She says pulling me into the house. "Wow, thanks." I say. "How'd this happen?" She asks. "I don't know, all I remember walking to my car and then I got jumped." I say. "You're gonna have to think way harder than that dude." She says with a straight face. "I was drunk out of my mind when they attacked me Mal." I say. She looked at me. "And you think you don't have a drinking problem?" She says with disappointment in her voice. "Now I do." I sigh. "Yeah..."She says pouring peroxide on my hand. "What the fuck!" I yell in pain. "You didn't deserve a warning." She snickers. I glared at her. "How are you?" I ask. She smirked at me. "Well, I don't know im care of an un born, a bratty four year old, and an annoying twenty one year old. So im living the life. How are you?" She says looking at me. I didn't know what to say... She looked tired. She would never show if she was drained from anything. Even after taking care of the nine of us... "I... I could be better." I say. "Yeah, well that makes two of us." She says putting everything away. "Is there anything you need for me to do?" I offer. "Get some help... I love you too much to get stuck into an addiction like that." She says walking out the bathroom. "I love you too..."

"Hey finally ho-dude what happened to you?" Kio says. "After Maleah told me she was pregnant I got-" "Wait Mal's pregnant, imma go text her congrats" He says walking away. Thanks dude... "Mal's pregnant?" Josh says. "Yeah, we can't tell Addison" I say. "Duh, you got too or the media will.  Or better yet. Co parent dude. Besides that what the fuck happened to you." He laughs at me. "A group of guys jumped me at the bar when I was leaving." I say. "And how are you all fixed up?" He asked. "Maleah?" I say. He nodded and laughed. "I don't know how many times you need to hear this... Pick a girl and stick to them. One may take longer but I think the longer route is always better." He says. I looked down at my shoes. "Thanks dude" I say. "But I said stuff that wasn't meant to be said. And did things that weren't meant to be done... And I don't know how id fix that." I say. "You'll find a way my dude. You always do." He says hitting my shoulder before going upstairs.
