Alcohol.

The leading cause of mistakes for teens and adults alike.

That is one of the main reasons I don't drink it. But when I woke up this morning with a splitting headache, and a guy in my room I was scared. When I realized that guy was Alex, I panicked. So I did the logical thing; I screamed.

That did not end well. A headache, alcohol and screaming is not a good combination. First my head hurt worse, then I threw up. Seriously. I literally puked all over my bedspreads. By now, Alex was up. What happened? Why were we here? I only remember coming to this house, opening the fridge, looking for food, finding my big bro's liquor stash and warning Alex not to touch it. I was actually surprised to find food. We were planning to stay with Alex for around a year, yet my wonderfully brilliant parents left the fridge filled with food. Usually I would yell at them for being irresponsible, but this time I'm actually thankful.

"Where am I?" Alex asked now fully awake.

"We are at my house in my room. The question is why?" I enunciated each word, a practice I do when frustrated .

"Did anything happen?" he asked, worried now.

"Obviously not!" I screamed offended. I hope.

He was reassured by this answer so he got up saying he was going to wash up. I realized that I was fully dressed, makeup and all. There were four bathrooms in my house, so I also went to wash up. My mom kept an emergency stash of health products in each bathroom, so I grabbed a toothbrush, toothpaste and a beauty bar of soap. I went to tell Alex to do the same. Obviously he could have been a professional thief, because even though it was well hidden, he already found it without my help.

After a half an hour long shower, I went to make breakfast. Even though we had a helper in our house, I'm still a good cook because I don't like people touching my food.My mom used to joke that I'm a germaphobic.

I made a small breakfast; 7 waffles, 14 pancakes, 5 scrambled eggs, 20 strips of bacon, 9 servings of fruit salad, 12 hash-browns, a popcorn bowl full of tater tots, 4 slices of toast and a jar of orange marmalade, and a pot of coffee.

Needless to say, we were hungry as soon as we finished.

"You okay?" Alright, dumb question. I know.

"Yeah" he actually did sound fine. After a while he said, "Want to go somewhere fun?"

"Your definition of fun, or my definition of fun?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~6 1/2 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm starved," I giggled.

We ended up at an amusement park, or should I say, The Amusement Park. None other than Canada's Wonderland. We spent the entire day riding on rollercoaster, and playing in the arcade. While having fun, we forgot all about food so now my stomach was rebelling.

"Me too." His stomach rumbled loudly, and he grinned sheepishly.

We walked inside a burger shack. We agreed that he would order the food and I would find a table. I found a small table in the secluded part of the restaurant, and waved to Alex, telling him where I chose. There's a group of teens around the table next to mine. I don't pay them any attention. I'm far too distracted. I didn't contact anyone but my brother for almost 24 hours, and I needed to talk to mom. I was about to dial her number, when someone came up behind me. I immediately assumed it was Alex.

"Oh hey. Where's my burger?" I turned, and dropped my phone. "Kim! Darling? Why are you here?"

She went back to her seat. "We were going to ask you to sit with us, but you seem to have company." I looked at her seat-mates and realised that it consisted if Angel, Kim and Alex's friends. So naturally, I lied.

"What are you talking about!" I laughed, "of course I'm here alone, Sillies!"

And being the moron karma is, it stabbed me in the back.

"Here," Alex leaned across my back and put the food out, in front of me. "Cheese burger, unsalted fries and pink lemonade. Just the way you like it." He looked at the table across from us, then swore under his breath.

"You were saying?" Angel asked me, sarcastically.

"Look," I explained truthfully, "we just happened to bump into each other on the stunt-coaster, and kind of stuck together."

"Yeah," Kim said, "they're just at an amusement park, its not like they slept together." She glanced at our blushing faces, "OMG! NO WAY!!"

"We didn't!" I said the same time as he said, "It was an accident!"

"You blundering idiot!" I scolded, while everyone else froze.

"It just came out," he pleaded, "word vomit!"

"At least confirm it before saying it!" I yelled. People began staring.

"But technically we did sleep together!"

"Waking up in the same bedroom is not sleeping together!" I cried in exasperation.

"Then what the hell do you call it?"

"How the heck should I know?" I folded my arms in my lap, "this is what I get for helping you." I ate my burger in silence. When I finished and glanced up at him he hasn't even began to eat. His gaze was stuck to his hands on the table. I automatically reached across the table and held his hand. He looked at me but didn't move his hand away. "Wanna leave?" I mouthed. He nodded so we sprinted off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LATER AT MY HOUSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My cell rang...

I groaned and turned it off.

Obviously my friends wouldn't make me get away so easily. They knew I moved so I didn't them to follow us but they were stalking my cellphone.

And Alex's.

Well... they were calling his phone, until he threw it into the water fountain in the front if my yard, claiming it was his wish.

Currently, he was taking a shower, so I decided to call mom and clarify things. I called her number and pressed the record button to record our conversation. She picked up on the second ring.

"Hello?" She sounded relieved

"Mom..."

Well what do you think? Do you think the story will be justified?

Okay, I know I haven't uploaded in 4 WHOLE MONTHS but I have reasons. My internet got disconnected so obviously I couldn't update. So as a gift, I made my longest and best chapter so far.

There are so many cliffhangers and I can guarantee that this next chapter will start of relatively calm and make a total u-turn near the end.

I want this story to have AT least 500 reads in total by the next chapter, so that I can know what to improve and make this story better.

Speaking of story... I am creating a new thriller story, starring Hanabira. It is my first ever story like this so please tell me what you think. My next update will be a preview of "Joker". Tell your friends about it, you know I enjoy the publicity ;-)

Remember to vote, comment, follow and SHARE!!!!!!!!

I'm searching for a new cover. Make one and inbox it to me, and I'll dedicate five chapters to you!!
