Chapter 15: Second Loop (Andy)

   I stare at my hands for a moment, last I remember the entire world was falling apart and Autumn was freaking out and-

Autumn! 

I quickly scramble around to remember where I was, I was sleeping on the couch in my living room. I must've passed out at the party and somebody took me here, Robin probably. I'm guessing she shouldn't have been driving then... I shake my head a little bit, I can't keep myself dwindling in that right now. I need to make sure Autumn is ok! I look around for my phone, checking the couch cushions. Was it in my coat? Uh... 

I stand up and make my way to the door where my coat was hanging on the wooden rack on the side. My parents always wanted something that felt rustic(?) so they opted for retro-y type things. Brick walls with no wallpaper, wooden racks etc. Is that retro? Actually, I'm not totally sure about it.  I could walk properly, so that was cool. I'm not always that lucky in the morning after blacking out like that. I check the pocket of my coat, but no phone. Where would she put it? She was drunk out of her mind... I peek out the window to see that my parents had been out again, just like they were this morning.

They're probably driving around talking about how much you stress them out and disappoint them, and how much they wish you'd act like an adult.

I feel a sudden pang of anxiety in my stomach, I wasn't exactly sure what it was that made me feel that way, but I decided it was an after-effect of last night. Right so... not in my coat, not in the couch. Did Robin take it? That would be something drunk Robin would do, I think. Would she really dedicate to a joke like that? I mean.. if she woke up and found out that my phone was with her she would come back and give it to me, right? Well, maybe. I don't know. Robin is kind of crazy and unpredictable. That's why I liked her though. Hey! Maybe she left it in my room, that wouldn't be too far-fetched. I make my way into my room after stumbling a little bit, and sure enough, my phone is sitting on my desk! I pick it up and get ready to call Autumn to see if he was OK after what had happened last night. 

August 8th, 7:01 AM

Wait, no hold on. It was the 9th, actually. Maybe I was seeing things? I just had to make this phone call.

Autumn hates you, why would you even call him. You didn't help him out when he was melting down.

Ok.. just pulling up his contact information.

"Hey... um, it's 7:00 in the Morning... what do you want?" Autumn groaned a bit when he spoke, he must've just woken up. 

"A-are you ok?! You were looking pretty rough last night.." I caught myself fidgeting a bit with a pencil on my desk. 

"What? I didn't even leave the house last night." Autumn giggled a bit, his voice a bit tinny over the phone. "Did you go out last night? Sure sounds like it, bud." I was thoroughly confused at this point.

"W-well I- uh.. have a nice day!" I hang up the phone quickly and place it on my desk. 

Bzzt

Autumn: "Hey also zack is hosting a party tonight, wanna come?"

I feel my stomach drop. Something was horribly wrong here. The party happened last night. I was almost positive of that! W-well almost. I'm not very reliable, I think. Always all over the place. Maybe I dreamt the whole thing up? I check the time on my phone again.
