Love under the moonlight #Wattys2021

Drunk yet not drunk

ALEX

Did he just say DRAMA!?  I could feel the rage building inside me at the same time I wanted to scream and cry. But instead, I just glare and walk out of the room

"Come on Alex, are you really going to be pissed at me for that?" Jakes walks behind me. I don't want to talk to him right now. 

He grabs my wrists and stops me. I look around to find Clair and Roy on the sofa cuddling like there's no tomorrow. Times when I need her she is drunk with her ass of a boyfriend who can't keep his hands off her.

"Can you just talk to me?" he says with his voice getting louder. 

"I don't want to talk about it. You said what you said, and I heard what I had to. Now go back to your friends. I want to eat my cereals in peace." I say shaking my hands off his hold. 

Jake sighs and walks out of the room. 

Honestly, I wanted him to ask me once more what was wrong with me. Why did he give up so early? getting angrier on myself for all these thoughts I sit beside the couple and absent-mindedly eat my cereal. 

"Alex, can you get me a can of beer?" Roy asks me. "Go get one yourself," I say and continue eating my cereal. 

"I can't move." I look at Clair sprawled all over him. "You're sitting free, just get one for me please." He says again. 

I wanted to say no but before the words could come out I got up and walked towards the kitchen. Why am I like this? 

Grabbing  2 cans out of the fridge I walk out again only to find Clair and Roy suck each other's face off like a leech. 

Feeling disgusted and annoyed I pretend not to see anything and walk out of the room and straight towards the backyard where everyone was. 

"ALex! you're backkk!" Amy yells. 

I walk towards her and take a seat next to her. Everyone continued to play some game which I was paying no attention to. I sat there staring at nothing in particular finishing the can of beers in front of me. 

"Alex will also join us!" I hear Amy scream. Seriously, she needs to stop speaking so loudly. 

"Play what?" I question looking around at everyone - particularly Jake

"Dare or Double Dare," she says as she jumps with joy. 

I contemplate if I wanted to - but then this part of my brain says - What could go wrong? So I decided to join them. 

And the minute the game started the bottle landed on me and Kevin, "Dare or Double Dare?" Kevin asked oddly excited to play the game. 

I look around at everyone waiting for me to choose one. Whatever I choose there wasn't any 'safe' option so feeling a little extra bold I say 

"Double Dare," I say looking straight into Kevin's eyes. He smirks a little and says "I want you to chug those 2 cans of beer and then spin around 10 times." I look at him with wide eyes. That asshole didn't even consider going easy on me. 

Instinctively my eyes go towards Jake - I see him shaking his head as if saying I shouldn't do this.  

"Oohhhh Alex looks like she is going to back out," Amy says out loud. I leave a breath. This isn't even the worst dare. I can do it.

"Pass those cans," I say with determination. Within seconds I was handed 2 beer cans. 'I can do this - I say to myself and start chugging the beer. 

2 cans down I feel like throwing up. This was not a good idea. I can feel multiple cameras on me. Uggh this is not going to end up good. I take a moment for myself to settle the beer. I could hear everyone screaming, saying I wasn't supposed to take a break. I walk a little away from the table and start spinning in circles.
