*underage drinking and substance use*
Melanie's P.O.V
Did you ever get that feeling that you are suffocating but it's due to your emotions? Yeah that me right now.... and it's only getting worse....
I shifted my body into another comfortable position next to August. He slept so peacefuly.... I simply observed his soft features. When I first saw him his innocent eyes were what caught my attention, such pretty eyes....
I sighed softly and looked up at the ceiling "fuck this I need a drink...." I slowly sat up and put on August's shirt that layed on the ground, who needs undies anyway when your just getting a drink and no ones home. Slowly I made my way out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen turning on the light quickly to calm my racing heart. It's just the kitchen....
"Where did he hide it?" I mumbled to myself looking for Miles secret stash of alcohol and edibles, he always has them... finally I pulled out a plastic bag that was hidden in the back of the cabinet. "Found you pretty thing~" I hummed softly and placed a brownie in my mouth taking a large bite and searching more through the cabinet.
Finally I felt my hand grip on to a glass bottle. Carefully pulling it out and popping the top off. "One bottle won't hurt..." I mumbled taking long sips and hiding the edibles back into there place.
I stood and walked around the kitchen eating more of the special brownie and long sips of alcohol as I felt it burn down my throat like always. Tgis is simply something I was too accustomed to doing.... fucking up my brain even more than it already is......
As I finished another brownie I heard soft footsteps coming in my direction, and out of reflex I hid the bottle behind me. "Melanie...?" I sighed softly noticing it was August when he peeked his head into the kitchen. "My darling..... you should be in bed..." He froze before lightly shaking his head and walking towards me.
"That's my line... it's late and you and my shirt were gone" his eyes trailed to my current outfit. But his eyes trailed back up quickly with a soft blush. He lifted his hand up and coverd the rest of his mouth. "Is that all your wearing?" I tilted my head and looked down remembering I just wore a shirt. "Yeah.... wanna peek?"
He froze and looked away from me "were in the kitchen...." I laughed softly and took the bottle from behind my back. "I was craving something strong..." His eyes drifted to the bottle than to me "is that your... distraction from reality...?" I felt my eyes widen.
"W-what...?" I averted my gaze from him. "Possibly.... more of a copping mechanism...." He got closer to me and took the bottle from me. "Than for now we rest. No more this" He shook the bottle and threw it in the trash burying it in the other trash already there and heading to wash his hands.
I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Let's head back to bed...." I mumbled softly finally feeling the affects of the edibles. The world seemed unreal and I could hardly focus but I was also tired. I need to get to bed before I collapse on the ground."You need to chill on the drinking it's messing you up..." He picked me up in his arms and drifted up to the room. At this point I was disoriented and simply just clung to him, which our closeness made him realize something.
"You took something didn't you?" He placed me on the bed and I let out a laugh "oh yeah!" I flopped back on the bed "special brownies!" At this point I lost control of myself. August climed on top and pinned me down "why!?" I laughed and looked into his eyes "it helps me forget..... don't you ever wanna forget?" He shook his head and held me down.
"Maybe but I rather seek help from a professional than fall down this path." I reached up to him and pulled him down. "Good boy! And don't worry it's only for when I can't recover....." I felt myself slowly loss consciousness. "Ooh bed time...." and with that I was out.
August's P.O.V
She feel into a deep slumber and as I held her close I heard foot steps down the hall and stop infront of the door. Instead of a knock the door slowly open. And brown hair peeked through, it was Miles? "So first time? I mean with this side of Melanie?" I nodded my head "is she okay?" He shook his head.
"For the longest time she hasn't been okay.... she's afraid of talking to strangers about it.... seeking help is a struggle. Were taking it a step at a time but our parents don't know about the substances she takes" his eyes trailed down her sleeping figure.
Later his eyes trailed up back at me "She'll get better...... it's just a long process.... trauma can't be fixed so easily." And with that he closed the door as I simply held Melanie observing her soft face as she sleeps. But things will get better they have too.
