My Growing Heartache

Chapter 28: A Drunken Mind Speaks a Sober Heart.

Crap! Think fast, Kenz. You can't run now.

"Um...hi ma'am. I'm your new neighbor and I just thought that I'd bring but some cookies as a welcome gift." I smile.

"Why thank you. That was awfully sweet." She said, her English accent coated words having slight sarcasm in them. She calls out for her son and he comes down a few seconds later. I know now that ignoring and being mad at him isn't going last long.

"William, jeter ces loin tout de suite! Je ne sais pas ce que ces jeunes filles noires mis en elle et moi ne leur fais confiance." (Translate: William, throw those away immediately! I do not know what these black girls put into it and I do not trust them.) She said to William, handing him the cookies. He stood there and stared at me for one second, then he turned to his mother and nods, a slightly angered look on his face. He walks into the house and we stand there for a second in awkwardness until he returns.

"Dites-leur de partir. Je vais aller déposer." (translate: Tell them to leave. I'm going to go lay down.)his mother says, turning around to leave, but William says something that stops her.

"Aucun." (No)

"Quoi?!" (What?!) She responds, turning slowly with a look of anger in her eyes.

"Mother, I said n--" he began to say, but was cut off by a loud, hard slap to the face. I so badly wanted to slap her for him and take him in my arms, but I knew that I couldn't intervene with this.

I looked into his eyes as he slowly turned his head back to her and I've never seen so much hatred in a person's eyes.

"You may never talk back to me. Now do as you are told." She said sternly, turning and going up the stairs.

"William...are you al-"

"I'm fine. I think it's time for you to leave. Bye." He said, closing the door in my face.

"Damn, that was crazy." Rissa said, making me jump a little because I forgot she was there.

"Yeah, I wasn't expecting that." I say, truthfully.

We go back home and Rissa and I are the only ones home. I head straight to the liquor cabinet and get wasted beyond belief. Today was too stressful and I needed a drink....which turned into several drinks.

"Wil-William. I...I want..NO, I NEED you t-to c-come overrrr. I missssss youuu!" I say, slurring my words and dragging out the s and u.

"Kennise, where are you?" He asks in a panic.

"Hoooome.... Why?"

"I'm coming over." He said, hanging up the phone.

I try to get up from the island counter and I fail miserably, falling back into my seat each time I tried.

I gave up and laid my head on the counter top just when William came busting into the house.

"Kennise, give me that." He said, reaching for the bottle.

"Nnoooo!" I whined, moving it. He ends up grabbing it from me anyways and putting it up.

"Come on, lets get you to bed." He said, helping me up. When he realizes that I can't even stand, he picks my up and carries me to my room.

"Stay here and go to sleep Kennise. I'll call you." He said, starting to walk away.

"No, w-wait! Don't leave me...p-please..." I beg, grabbing his arm.

He sighed, taking off his shoes and shirt and getting into bed with me.

"I reaaaaaly love you Willy.." I say, curling up in his arms and inhaling his scent as I drift off into sleep.

~~~

"Mmm..." I groan, waking up.

'Why do I have a headache the size of a freaking whale? And why do I feel arms wrapped around me?!' I think, trying to unwrap the arms as carefully as I can.

"Good morning to you too sweetheart." William says, calm as ever with a smirk on his face as he tightens his grip a little so that I can get out of his hold.

"William, why're you here?" I ask harsher than intended. Lord knows it took me a minute to gather myself because he is so much hotter when he just wakes up. I never even thought it possible.

"Well, doll face, if I do recall correctly, you called me over here and didn't want me to leave when I tried." He said very low, I guess knowing that I had a hangover, and I was very thankful for that.

I just sigh...hard. Why did I have to go get drink and be so stupid?!

"Oh, and by the way love, I really love you too." William whispered in my ear, making his voice really raspy and sexy. No. No no no. Do not give in so easily, remember the...wait, did he just say the 'L' word...again? That night he said it at the hospital, I just thought he said it for the moment; just to be comforting. But I really meant it when I said it. I'm still trying to find out whether I'm in love with him or not. I've been through a lot with past relationships so its really hard for me to know whether I'm truly in love or not.

"Umm...uh....errr" I stutter, still thinking this over.

"Cat's got your tongue?" He asks sarcastically.

"No. But I'm still pissed at you. And you saying you love me won't make me get over it."

"Well what will?!" He asks kind of frantically.

"I don't know anymore..." I whisper, knowing that if I talk anymore, my voice will crack.

I hear him sigh roughly, get off the bed and leave. What the hell did I just do? Why am I being so stupid about this? I already beat Taylor up and I basically gave William the silent treatment, so why can't I just get over this? Damn, I'm hard headed. Let me go take a long, hot shower and work on that part for the play.
