16. The Downward Spiral
"Hey!" Aria yelled, gaining the bartender's attention, "Are you bloody deaf?! I've been calling for you so long, I need more alcohol".
"I think you and your friend have had enough" the bartender said, looking between Aria and Caroline, who had also turned her humanity off.
"Look at our faces, this is us straining to care less about what you think" Caroline said, she pretended to strain her face but quickly gave up, "Nope, I can't do it, can you Aria?".
"Nope" Aria said simply.
"Okay, I'm gonna call you two a cab".
"Hey" Aria snapped, grabbing the bartender's wrist, "Our mom just died, we just put her dead, cancer riddled body into the ground".
"Exactly four hours and thirty two minutes ago" Caroline added.
Aria nodded at Caroline, "I'm so sorry for you loss" the bartender apologised.
"Oh don't be, we don't care anymore" Aria said, "What we care about is our feet that have been crammed into very uncomfortable heels for the whole day and the only thing that can help our feet better is tequila so pass us a bottle and get lost".
The bartender sighed, "Fine" he said, finally giving in, "I'll grab you two another drink".
"Thank you" Caroline said.
"Aria?" A confused Noah said, walking over to the two sisters.
"Ugh, no" Caroline said, walking away from Aria after seeing Noah.
"Noah" Aria greeted.
"What are you doing here?" Noah asked.
"Getting drunk, duh" Aria replied.
"Today?" Noah asked shocked.
"Yeah today" Aria replied, "Why wouldn't I get drunk today?".
"Today was your mother's funeral" Noah reminded.
"And?" Aria asked, downing a shot of tequila.
"You've turned it off" Noah suddenly realised.
"Congratulations, you figured it out" Aria said sarcastically.
"Things just got really interesting" Noah mumbled.
"Can you leave?" Aria asked, "I am no mood for company".
Noah smirked, "Don't tell me even humanity less Aria Connor is tied up to Damon Salvatore".
"Oh, please" Aria said, "This Aria, ain't tied up to anyone".
"Really?" Noah asked, "Prove it".
Aria looked at Noah, "No thanks" she simply said, "The only thing I'm interested in tonight is getting wasted, nothing else".
Noah tucked a strand of hair behind Aria's ear, "Is that so?".
Before Aria could say anything, Noah was suddenly shoved away from her.
