Keira
My alarm started bipping. 10.00AM it showed, as the awful irritating sound echoed through my room. I groaned and closed it, stretching my arms and yawning. I felt tired and a terrible headache was torturing my head. Propably from lats night, me and my friend went out to a club and drunk our asses off. I didnt throw up last night so the alcohol was still in my system caussing me this headache and sorrownes through my body.
I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I bubmed into my brother, who was already using it.
"Goodmorning asshole" he said to me with a sarcastic smile on his face
"Hey, whats with the nickname?"
"You got drunk. Again. "
Actually last night I didnt consume only alcohol but an LSD pill too. My mother knew about hte drinking and smoking but drugs were her limits. Only weed was she ok with, but this only occasionaly.
"Well mum didnt tell me anything so why are you all over me wining like you are my mother. I just woke up. Please. " I said with my raspy morning voice and headed to the sink to wash my face. Stef rushed out of the bathroom letting me drench wy face with water. I had still some mascara under my eyes giving me a hangover look but I didnt really care. I think its hot.
Headed to the kitchen where my mom was sipping her coffe reading a magazine and Stef was eating cereal. I kissed her goodmorning, and got my coffe done. Before leaving I heared my mom say: " Hey guys I want to talk to you later about something." "Is it important?" I asked. "Yes, alot, for me at least." "Is this about Hwan?" My lil brother asked. "I dispise you for knowing their names" I said looking at him with a disgusted face. Mom gave me a cold look and said " Yes, its about him." I scoffed and walked out of the kitchen, I didnt want to hear my mom rumble about her boyfriend at 10 in the morning. I got out to my balcony, with my coffe and a ciggarette on my right hand. I had put a vinyl on my record player, The Right Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd. I lit my cig and sipped my coffe.
The longest my moms relationships lasted was 2-3 months, if the guy was lucky. The only good thing with this whole situation is that every time mom breaks up with a guy, she takes us out to eat mexican and for a week after the breake up, she does all our favours. Like we were all atached to the man and were gonna miss him. I dont know what kind of guilt is that. Maybe because our dad left us, she doesnt want us to feel that another male presence in our lifes that had the dad role since he dated our mom, was gonna abandone us again and she wanted to fill this hole with all these acts..I dont know, Ive thought about it lots of times, and this version seems more reasonable to me.
Time flew away quickly, it was already 15.48 and I was just lying on the couch. Summer bored me, especially when I had no friends in town. Actually, the only person that I consider a real friend of mine is Alex. I have my best times with her but today in the morning she flew away with her family for summer holidays and she will be back again in like a month and a half. So I had nothing to do but lay on the couch, my stomach full of the food we just finished eating. My brother joined and after a while our mom did too.
"So you guys, I have an idea. What do you say we go out tonight to eat mexican?"
Stef and I glared at eachother, and with our eyes we agreed to go, because we like mexican. No sorry, LOVE.
"Umm, yeah sure why not." I smiled at her and she smiled back at us.
"Great, Im gonna make a reservation at Enchilada."
"Uh mom, didn't you wannna tell us something about Hwan?" I asked filled with hopes about their break up happening
"Oh um, no nevermind. It doesnt matter anymore" she smiled at me and left to make the reservation. I smiled evily at myself mouthing a yesss and motioning my fist from up and downing it. FINALLY she broke up with that Korean guy and now we would eat mexican and have all our favors done.
Time showed 8 o'clock and we just entered the Mexican restaurant we all loved.
"Hola, I have a reservation with the name Wilson
" How many persons?" Aksed the reception girl
"Six" I heard my mother say. I was confused
"Six? Why Six? Its just us, right?" I said to my mother with a concerned look, meanwhile she was looking at the entrance.
"Ah, our party is hear" she said and smiled at the girl.
I looked towards the entrance and saw three people, A man and two girls walking inside and towards us. The man I recognized, he was Hwan, my moms boyfriend. They didn't break up it seems...The two girls that were escorting him seemed to have a big age difference. They must be his daughters, my mom had told me about them. The eldest is the same age as me, so 17 and the youngest is 10, 3 years younger than Stef. I looked at Hwan as he hugged my mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I looked in disgust as my eyes fell onto the tall black haired girl. Her brown eyes looked at the scene bofore us, with a serious expression on her face. She was wearing a leather black jacket and had her hands in its pockets, underneath it a plain white t shirt, black ripped jeans and some silver jewelry. She was pretty hot I must add. If she wasn't the daughter of this idiot I would totally smash.
The reception girl walked us to our table. We sat and our parents insisted we started talking and get to know each other. We said our names and we slightly started a conversation the six of us. The whole time I was looking at the girl opposite me. Jessica was her name. It suited her.
The food came and we ate, only the parents talked and laughed, tryna lighten the whole mood.
Jessica had two straws in her hands and was using them as drumsticks playing imaginary drums on the plates, Mia the younger one was just sitting there looking around, Stef was trying to be a part of our parents conversation and me? I was terribly annoyed by the sounds Jessica was making. "Can you stop that please? " she looked at me for a second and then continued. "Huh, what a brat you are, I said stop it, it's annoying " I told her with a more cold and annoyed way than before.
"Look Whose the brat now, little shit." She hissed with a cocky smirk that got to my nerves. "You know, it's the first time we meet eachother and you already are acting like a 5 year old. I asked you politely to stop it but apparently they have hit you so many times in the head as a child with the same fucking drumsticks that you can't even take any order!." I said widening my eyes with anger. "Do you always talk too much?"
"It's not my fault. It's the side effects of cleverness" I said with a sarcastic tone and a pout on my lips.
"Children please, calm down" this Hwan guy said "We have something really important to tell you." My mom added and I started to get nervous. What the fuck would be so important?
"As you may know, we've been dating for 3 years now...""and we have decided..." my mom continued, not ending her sentence. They looked at eachother and then said loudly and happily in sync.
"...to move together and all of us live like a family!!"Dead silence.
