Dangerous.

23.

A bright light shone through the curtains, I groaned quietly to myself. My head was spinning and throbbing, I grabbed the nearest pillow and pushed it into my face, but I knew I wouldn't be going back to sleep. It was early, 7:10 am to be in fact. I threw my pillow across the room, " Why'd I drink last night?.... It was no fun " I mumbled sitting up. " Whoa! What happened in here! " Logan shouted from the kitchen, Delilah chuckled " Your sister decided to have a little party for one last night ". " Wait, she drank this whole bottle of vodka? " Logan asked loudly, " Where is she now? " ( It felt like they were inside my head, shouting at the top of their lungs ). " Passed out, probably for the whole day " Delilah sighed, " You should've seen her, drunk and trying to cook Ramen. I don't like it when she drinks, she only drinks when she's sad now. You told me we were all going out last night, I only went to spend time with the people I care about, not with all your drunken friends! ". " I thought she'd be there, I told him to invite her " Logan exclaimed, " Well, obviously he didn't. Maybe he's not as good as we thought he was " Delilah sighed. Logan chuckled loudly " Now you're starting to sound like my sister. Babe, maybe he just forgot ", Delilah sighed again " Yeah, Okay. Maybe you're right, but I still feel bad ". Logan chuckled " She'll get over it eventually, stop stressing about it ", " Okay " Delilah sighed once more.

Logan was right, I would ' Eventually ' get over it, just not today. I hopped up out of bed, changed my clothes ( Black baseball t - shirt, light blue shorts, my old raggedy black converse ). I walked out into the lounge, with somewhat of a smile on my face ( I was just covering up the fact that I was upset ). I was met by very surprised looks from Delilah and Logan, " What are you doing up? It's not even 8 am yet? " Delilah asked. I shrugged " Hungry, want breakfast ", I can make you something " Delilah stated with a whole hearty smile. I shook my head " I'm gonna go pick something up at the Rejects cafe, I've heard they've got amazing waffles ", Delilah and Logan both wore identical smiles. " Mel, about last night.... " Logan started, but I raised my hand getting hi to stop. " It's fine, I'll get over it " I sighed grabbing my bag and walking out the door, Dramatic? I know. I walked out of the building and down the road, I decided that since I was a bit hungover, it'd be better if I didn't drive. I walked to the cafe, which was about a 20 minute walk, but I knew it'd be worth it. Wrong. When I got closer to the building, I noticed a couple sitting at a table, that was in front of one of the large windows. He was holding her hand, laughing at all her jokes, staring at her intently. She, doing the same. I guess that's what real happiness looked like, the guy in fact was Michael, it you were wondering.

I was no longer hungry, I quickly turned around and walked away, just because I didn't want him to see me. I ended up walking to a small park, it was another 20 minute walk from the Rejects cafe. My family used to come to this park every week when we were younger, it was a nice, quiet place to think. I sat under a large oak tree watching all the small kids play together. It reminded me of the good old days, when Delilah, Ash, Logan and I would come out here, play tag, hide and seek, everything. " If only it were possible to rewind life, and start everything over again. Maybe I wouldn't be a detective, maybe I would never have met Michael " I mumbled as I pulled out my phone. [ New Message ] - Hey : Red haired beauty - , I sighed deeply and replied - Hi -. Seconds later I got a new message. - Can I come over? : Red haired beauty -, I groaned quickly changing his contact name to Milo. - No - short and sweet, - Why not? : Milo -. I ran my fingers through my hair - Not home -, - Well, where are you? : Milo -. He was probably getting angry by now ( Good ), - Somewhere, Peaceful -. I glanced around and waited for a reply, it took a few minutes. - What's with all the short answers Mel? Are you mad at me or something, what could I of possibly done to piss you off this time? Sometimes I don't understand why I'm still trying? : Milo -, I didn't have an answer for that, so I just didn't answer him. After 10 minutes, my phone started to ring. I glanced at it, [ Milo ] it read. I just sat there, ignoring it. I honestly didn't know if I was over reacting or if I was just fucked up. All I know, I wasn't planning on moving from this spot, anytime soon.
