*** Akali POV ***

Heading out to join them, I open the fridge to get myself a drink. Conrad's back is turned to me but this Justin kid is watching me through the corner of his eye.

He then expresses, "I really don't want to inconvenience you - I can leave if you want me to-"

I side next to Conrad but still keep distance between us, "I said I don't care," I guess he just feels subconscious about me expressing that I don't want him here.

My mood is really just all over the place.

Conrad chuckles, "She is just in a bad mood, (Y/N) hasn't been around to keep her spirits high."

He then nods, "I guess it makes sense, my girl at home gets super rowdy I ignore her for more than an hour. Probably reasonable but it is like a damned subscription fee," he laughs as Conrad chuckles in response.

"Well, I haven't seen him since four days ago."

"There are people that do long distance-"

I cut him off, "Which I am not doing," I arch my brow at him.

"Careful," Conrad warns him, "You shouldn't just talk like it is just dudes here, besides she isn't your best friend either so don't talk like you have known her for that long."

He nods, "Sorry. I do get a bit out of hand," he chuckles.

I lift my shoulders as I take a sip, beer tastes like shit but it is all we have and I just kinda want to dumb down my senses so that I can go to bed all the quicker. The conversation all but drowns out in the back of my mind.

I am there but I am not really talking, just having them do them is enough. I eventually head to the couch to put on a series to play old episodes just for noise, I know I am not going to do anything.

But I must have fallen asleep at some point.

I mutter to myself, "I went for dumbing senses not falling asleep," everything is just dizzy for absolutely no reason, I almost feel sick to my stomach.

Wondering if it is because I ate something or because I dared to mix on beer with some of the drinks I drank tonight. I wasn't even feeling a buzz when I got home - or am I just that moody? I glance around to see I am the only one in the house but I was covered with a blanket.

Rubbing my eyes, "Am I really that careless?" the door opens as I see Conrad rub his eyes out.

"You are awake? You passed out and (Y/N) called - I didn't want to carry you to bed cause... well I had this feeling I'd have your knee in my jaw if I ever tried doing that so I just covered you up and took Justin to hang out at a bar."

I blink slowly, "Oh... yeah no worries. Thanks."

Then curling the blanket around me, I push myself into the corner as I stare at my phone on the coffee table, "Want coffee?"

I nod, "Please."

He then continues to talk, "Sorry if he made you uncomfortable, he isn't all that good with new people - he doesn't have a filter and I have to constantly make excuses for him."

I rub my eyes, "I just lost my shit when he talked about (Y/N) like that."

"(Y/N) doesn't get along with my friends," he states, "But I don't care that much about what they have to say, I have been with (Y/N) for most of his life and I love him like a brother."

I nod, "Thanks for taking care of him."

"Wow," he chuckles, "Hearing that from you makes me almost happy."

"Don't let it go to your head," I smile at him.

"How do you feel?" he asks.

"Lonely," I admit to myself, "Even if it was for a little bit, then I'd be fine. I even missed his call and he is probably asleep."

He puts down a cup in front of me as he sits down next to me,  "You will be fine."

I nod, "I know."

I reach over to my phone to see that it was 2 am. I have been sleeping since I came home around 10. This means he has been out all night with this Justin character - maybe I am just hardwired into not trusting certain characters.

I don't know.

"Akali?"

I shake my head, "Yeah? Sorry... head is just all over the place."

"Drink the coffee, you will feel better if you sober up," he expresses, then turning on the TV I weakly reach over to the cup as I take a sip, hoping that the warmth would just burn me awake but it doesn't do anything for me.

Through the buzzing, I can feel a headache as I try to keep my head stable. I feel myself fall to the side as I recover, "Mind... lending a shoulder, my head is spinning."

He scoots closer, "Sure."

I shut my eyes tightly, taking a couple of deep breaths to pace myself and clear my system - I shouldn't drink medication in this state either and should probably just head to my room. Though the longer I keep my eyes shut the quicker it fades.

I take another sip as I can start feeling the warmth burn my tongue, "Are you okay?"

I nod, "I'll be fine."

"I am not that bad, right?" he chuckles.

I only shake my head as I chuckle, "Yeah. Maybe not."

"You can admit-"

I don't recall what happened next, the touch of a finger stroking my thigh going higher and higher - another feeling against my face sent me into a spiral of disbelief. The moment he touched my face it brought back all my senses at once. I grab his arm twisting and then knocking him square in the jaw.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing!"

"I-" I grab my phone and rush towards my room door, watching him trying to get to his feet I could tell just from the sluggish movements that this guy was drunk out of his fucking mind.

I take a deep breathe as I sigh, resting my head against my the door as I quickly open my phone and call Ahri, she answers it after the third attempt, "Akali-"

"Please pick me up. Right now."
