The Beach

My sister is with her girlfriend in the other room and it's so fucking annoying.

I haven't gotten out of my room just to give them space, but god, it's been three hours. What the fuck are they doing? Actually- I don't want to know.

Besides my endless boredom right now, I've been pretty content today. I started the day under the shower with...thoughts from yesterday, I talked to Len on the phone so he could explain to me what the fuck was going on with Lola. He told me they are a thing now and honestly I'm not surprised.

But actually though, I didn't even know how to feel about yesterday. Sure, I know how my body felt about it...but I don't know what to think. It was kinda weird, I didn't know she would be into it. But of course, she wanted a revenge for her boyfriend for cheating on her.

At first I felt kinda bad, because she was in a vulnerable place, but then I realized I was too. There were a hundred people there and I felt so anxious around them. She made it a little quieter though. That was what we did: she got her revenge, I got my peace and money.

But now I gotta run.

The second I take my money after three days I have to go. I told Tonya that we have to go, because they found out I was around and she was calmer than I thought she would be. I guess, she's saying goodbye to her girlfriend now, but she didn't seem that phased.

Or it's because we've been running away our whole lives and she's used to it.

I didn't want it. Fuck, I didn't even want her to find out about them. But she had to. She's the only person I trust and she was kinda involved so somebody was gonna tell her anyway. But now she's getting used to it, like me.

I sigh and shake my head to get rid of these thoughts. There's a bottle of whiskey in my drawer, it might help.

I stand up from my chair, still feeling kind of stiff from when they punched me in the ribs. But that didn't stop you from fucking someone, you horny ass.

I finally reach my bed and sit on it, leaning down to the nightstand. I open the drawer and there it is, a small bottle, almost full.

But then I almost drop it when I hear my door harshly opening. It slams against the wall, causing me to jump.

I swear to god, if that's Len.

I quickly turn around and stand up like my ass is on fire. There I see the same girl that wouldn't leave me alone. Then I hear another door closing which is probably my sister and Wanda getting out.

But the thing that gets me is her eyes. They're glossy. Her cheeks are wet and red, the flush following down to her neck. She's wearing a white sundress, which has tears on it as well, and a denim jacket over it.

She looks so sad and angry.

"Aylin? What are you doing here?"I ask with furrowed brows, my voice quiet and filled with worry. I start walking towards her "Are you okay?"

When I reach her though, she steps back, making me stop. She searches her eyes over mine for a second before she walks past me, her shoulder hitting mine. I'm left even more confused when she kneels next to the bed, putting the covers to the side.

Then the realization hits me.

My box with weapons is there. She's searching for my box.

I quickly kneels next to her and grab her hands to stop her, but she immediately pulls them like she was expecting me to do it.

"Hey, hey, hey. Aylin. Don't-"I continue trying, being as gentle as possible so I don't scare her.

But she looks like I'm not even there. She just fights me, reaching under the bed to grab the box. I decide to stop fighting and just let her, knowing they probably already told her. I hung my head and take steady breaths through my nose, afraid to face her reaction.
