"Only for you<3"

Chapter 7

Mason POV:

   Me and Zeke parted ways after the bus reached our designated stops. I walked into my empty house when reality really sunk in. Charlotte cheated on me.. Charlotte cheated on me. 3 years just down the drain, just gone. Fuck, I need a drink. It's fucking Tuesday but I don't care. I can't believe Charlotte would do that do me. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts about Zeke I had totally forgotten about Charlotte, but now, now the memories are all coming back.

   I whipped out my phone and texted my parents that I would be out, I then put my shoes back on and went outside. I started to walk down the sidewalk. I put my AirPods in and played a song from my playlist.

   I pulled out my phone and texted Kelsea, this 22 year old chick who has a thing for me for some reason and would probably buy me something to drink if I gave her the money.

                                   ||Weird chick||

                                 Hey, can you do me a favor?

Hmm? What is it 😉

Will you buy me something if  I give you the money?

Sure, what do you need me to buy?

               
                Just some cheap alcohol, I can give you like        

                                     50 bucks just buy what you can.

Oh Mason you are dirty 😝
It's on me ok 😊

                                                                                   Sure.
            Meet up at the abandoned daycare on pine?

Sure.

   I'll probably regret this tomorrow when I'm hungover, but it's not like my parents will notice, they always work overtime at their jobs, like, I love my parents, but they're never home anymore.

   I start to walk faster, and I see that I'll be arriving at my destination soon, I look and saw the opening of the daycare and speed up my pace once again.

   Once I arrive at my destination I see that a couple kids are playing around on the equipment from the playground, I sit at one of the communal benches waiting for Kelsea. I played on my phone for around 20 minutes before I saw her figure nearing me holding a brown paper bag, the contents I assume is the thing I asked for.

   I get up and walk towards her, "Hey." I say to her as she hands me the bag, "Here's what you wanted." She said with a cringey high pitched voice. I took the bag and slyly looked inside, ah, cheap liquor, my favorite, "Thanks Kelsea." I said simply while walking away. She put on a very obvious pout while I scurried away from her.

   My mom texted saying she and dad would actually be home at 5 this time so I texted my sorta friend Keenan who's a known smoker and always wants to "hang out" with me for some reason. I snapped him a picture of the bottle with the caption, "Wanna hang?" He opened it almost instantly and replied with a text, saying 'sure, pick you up at the lake?' I simply replied with 'yea.'

   I put the bottle into my bag and started walking to the lake, I've been doing a lot of walking today. Once I arrived at the lake, I saw a shabby car parked on the road next to it, once I neared closer I saw Keenan playing on his phone leaning against it. "Hey Keenan," I started to say to him, "Ready?" I finished asking, "Yeah dude, let's go, you'll have to sit in the back though 'cause I got shit in the front." He said embarrassed, "Alright dude." I replied simply, jumping in the back of his car.

   He started to drive to his house, and I assumed his dad wasn't home. Once we arrived at his house he led me in through the back door because, 'the dogs will get out if we use the front door.' His house was pretty nice, not too fancy, but it was cozy. He led me to his room where he had a large set up.

   He had a lot of weed. I opened up my back and grabbed the bottle, I popped it open and took a large chug, once I was finished I handed the bottle over to Keenan and he repeated my action with a smaller swallow.

   Me and Keenan smoked a lot of weed and finished off the bottle of liquor, and before I was completely inebriated, I shot my mom a text saying I was probably spending the night at my friends house and he would drive me to school in the morning, but in all honesty, I'd probably be too hungover to go to school tomorrow. Me and Keenan were laying in his bed looking at the ceiling, stoned out of our minds and drunk as fuck.

   "Hey, dude," I said while laughing slightly, "Yeah?" He asked me, "Y'know, my girlfriend cheated on me, that's why I did this." I stated, my mood faltering, "Oh, sorry man." He said, he then grabbed my face and patted it twice before exploding in a fit of laughter. I joined in after a couple seconds. The entire world was spinning and I couldn't even gather my thoughts for a second, I could barely tell whether I was talking or not.

   Then I woke up. My throat dry, drenched in sweat, my mind was still pretty foggy, and I felt like utter shit. Keenan was totally passed out next to me, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw like 60 missed messages from various people, and it was 1:33pm, I forgot I turned my phone off.

   Charlotte texted me around a trillion times, I forgot to block her. My mom just texted me a good morning text saying she loved me. Zeke texted me 5 times asking why I wasn't at school, and Rayan asked if he needed to pick me up after school. Fuck, forgot I was going to his house today.

   I still felt super fucking tired, I quickly texted my mom telling her I loved her too and promptly passed out again.

   When I woke up again it was to the sound of the bed rustling, I sat up slowly and saw Keenan sitting at the edge of the bed looking fucked up, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was an absolute mess, and he was looking extremely pale. I looked at the time and saw it was 2:42pm, and school got out at 3:20pm. My head was pounding and my throat got even dryer, there were sweat beads gathering on my forehead.

   I texted Rayan and asked him if we could hang out another day because I was sick. I then got up and immediately sat back down due to the throbbing of my head, "Dude, we were so fucked up last night." Keenan said, chuckling slightly, his voice was hoarse. "I know, it feels like tiny people are in my head with hammers hitting my brain over and over again." I replied with a groan, Keenan chuckled again, "Here," he said, throwing me some eye drops, "You better use those."

   I grinned at him sheepishly before looking in his mirror and saw what a disgusting mess I looked, I quickly used the eye drops and handed them back to him, "Here, do you want to take a shower, it'll make you feel better, you can change into these." He said, while handing me some clothes that would definitely be really big on me, "Yeah thanks man, where's your bathroom?" I asked.

   He led me to his bathroom and I took a quick shower and after I was done he took one too, the clothes, as I suspected, were too big on me, but they stayed on so there was that.

   I felt a lot better after the shower, I still felt like shit, but my mind was less foggy and I felt way cleaner. After Keenan was done with his shower, he led me to his kitchen and gave me some water, I hung around his place for a little while, watched some TV, then when 3:20 rolled around, he drove me home.

   When I got home, I laid in my bed and cried again. God, I went this whole time not thinking about her, and now, after all this, I feel like shit and I'm sad. Fuck Charlotte.

   Around 4 I was still sulking in my room, finally letting all the grief hit me, instead of preventing it. I just cried until my chest and stomach hurt. I only stopped sobbing for a second to text Zeke that I was sick that day and that's why I wasn't at school. He replied rather quickly with a bunch of worried texts that I chuckled at.

   I reassured him that I was totally, completely fine. Which was not the truth. I just didn't want him to worry. It's honestly been a pretty shitty day. I just watched Netflix for the rest of the day, sometimes pausing my show to cry more.
