"So you made some friends?"
"Yeah they're pretty chill. I rather have you and the other guys though."
"Mm. We miss you a lot. Kinda sad you don't live here anymore."
"Yeah."
"We're going drinking tonight."
"Drinking? I can't. Two days in a row?"
"You'll be fine. You can just drink a little."
"Okay I guess. I need to tell you what my mom said before I left."
~~~~~''~~
"Hey guys."
"Peaches!" They hugged me. "It's been forever."
"I know. We need to talk more."
"What could we talk about when you're so far away?"
"School. Bum ass parents and so on."
"Who cares about all that? I'm glad my bestie is back." She hugged me tight. "Ugh girl."
"I know you don't like all that lovey shit but you my bestie. And it's been forever."
"Get off me."
"No. Not until you hug me back." I hug her then she let go. "So what you guys wanna do?"
"Let's go to the mall."
"I don't got money."
"That's what you got friends for bitch. Who car we going in?"
"Let's go in mine. It's bigger."
"Why you don't have money?"
"Cause my mom won't let me use anything unless it's mine."
"Damn." We got in her car.
~~~~~~~~~
We're at Ariana's house. We're gonna have a sleepover instead of going out cause I don't really feel like it. I've missed my friends. We're gonna play never have I ever. If you have you gotta take a shot and if you haven't you don't. So we just made it into a drinking game either way.
~~~~~~~~~£
I'm sorry for skipping so much 😬
Everyone is so drunk. "Aye who's next? It's me? Is it me?" She drunk another one. It's not even about the game anymore. We're just drinking now. I feel so lightheaded. "I'm gonna lay down." I fall.
~~~~~~~~~~~
When I woke up everyone was on the floor. Lizzie's awake. Fuck. Last night was worse than Friday. I get up. I rush to the bathroom to throw up. When I get home I'm just gonna lay down and do nothing for like a whole week cause the amount of shit I've done this week which I've passed my max on it all is unbelievable. I also have to drive home. I don't feel like it. I feel so bad. I need some water. I go downstairs after walking over everyone. "Hey Lizzie."
"Hey girl. You want some breakfast?"
"Definitely not." I make a cup of water. "I'm never drinking like that again."
"Me either. I feel horrible." Ariana came down. "Hey guys."
"Hey." She kissed my forehead and grabbed my water. "You want breakfast Ari?"
"Is that a joke?"
"No."
"No. I don't want no damn breakfast. If you want me to throw up everywhere. Everyone else came down. We just sat in silence in the kitchen. "So I'm guessing everyone started off their day with throwing up."
"Yeah."
"Anybody wanna take me home."
"Nope."
"I'll take you babe.".
"Thanks. There's no way I can drive right now. You'll need to bring my car back."
"Alright."
~~~~~~~~~~
"What's that girls name that you were dancing with Friday?"
"Yvonne."
"You like her?"
"No."
"Did you fuck her?"
"No..."
"Don't lie to me Peaches."
"Why are you questioning me?"
"Peaches...."
"Fine I did. It's not a big deal and it's not something normal. I was drunk."
"I didn't fuck any of our friends when I was drunk."
"That's not my problem."
"Stop with that smart ass mouth."
"Or what?" She pulled over. She got out the car and started walking back. I get out. "Ariana. What you doing?x
"Drive yourself. We're done." I got back in my car and cried.
~~~~~~~~
I go in the house. I don't feel myself anymore. I'm hungover, my girlfriend broke up with me. I don't feel that great. "What's wrong with you?x
"Nothing.." I go upstairs to my room and lay down. My mom came in. "Sweetie. I know we haven't been on good terms lately but you can talk to me."
"Ariana broke up with me."
"Why?"
"I cheated on her but it was a accident. And I got smart with her and she broke up with me."
"Sweetheart you gotta control that mouth."
"But I'm nothing without my attitude."
"That's not true. Baby you won't survive out in the real world with a attitude like that. People will be mean and won't be around you. Only because they've grown up and you'll still be the same as you were in highschool."
"What are you saying?"
"Grow up Shanice. Nobody will put up with your mouth forever. Ariana didn't. Soon your friends might leave."
"Traci acts just like me."
"Well it'll just be you and her. By yourselves. Being unwanted because you guys didn't change. I'm your example. I was like you in highschool, that's why I had a baby and did drugs. I'm grateful for you sweetheart but I was seventeen not financially stable and I know you like girls but what if you can't get a job like that? Hm? What would you do?"
"I don't know. I guess I'll change. I just really like doing what I do. It's more fun than studying and not doing those things."
"I know but, it's for the best. Those things are for weekends only and then you come back to yourself on Monday possibly Tuesday."
"Okay."
"I'm not telling you to stop completely anymore just let me know before hand and don't do it at school."
"Okay."
"Good luck sweetie."
"Thanks mom." She walked out. I have a lot to think about.
