dead ☆ cth

Chapter 3

LUCY POV

Maddy and I ended up walking home in the rain on Sunday morning. I, not remembering anything, but noticing I had woken up next to a man, not as cute as I may have seen him last night. I managed to sneak a flannel out of Jakob's closet before leaving my number on a sticky note with whoever the guy from last night was. It was a great makeshift umbrella. I had dried blood all over my lips and chin, a mystery I'd have to learn about later evidently, I had a mad headache and my nose didn't feel so great either. I so needed a cup of coffee, that I didn't care where we went. Closest to us was a little cafe run by an old friend of my grandmother's.

I sat down, my legs being wet I knew they'd stick to the leathery seats of the booth. Not a great feeling tearing your skin from a seat. I laid my arms on the table, resting my head in the corner of my elbow. I'm sure Maddy was doing the same because we both were basically dead. The smell of French Vanilla brewed coffee came under my nose and the waiter, Tom, patted my back and said something along the lines of 'Ind 'what did I tell you about partying so hard?' I lifted my head from my arm and mumbled a quick thank you to him, Maddy just grunted, giving him a thumbs up.

Back at home, the hangover still doing numbers on me, I decided to do some cleaning, that hadn't been done in weeks. My room was disorganized, blankets were strewn about the living room, and clothes filled the bathroom floor.

It was about half 2 in the afternoon, when I was almost finished cleaning up the apartment and my phone playing Who Are You Now by Sleeping With Sirens signaling a text a text from an unknown number.

Unknown Number: Hey, don't know who you are, but this was set as the lock screen on my phone. Figured the number left on me was the girl. Sorry to bother you if I happen to be wrong. (image)

The picture shown was quite blurry, but clearly shown me and the guy from last night kissing. We must've been drunk off our asses to do something like that. I kinda laughed though, it was so random to get a text like this, especially from a guy from a party. 

Lucy-loo: Nah it's alright,  it actually is me. Kinda funny, wasn't expecting a text like this. 

Unknown Number: I'm Ashton , you're very gorgeous from what I can see in my lockscreen, I might keep it ;)

Lucy-loo: Why thank you. You're not so bad yourself :-) And you can change the lock screen if you want. It might be kinda weird having to explain to people that I was a random girl you hooked up with at a party.

Ashton: I can always just tell them you're my girlfriend, who was obscenely drunk. 

Lucy-loo:That sounds kinda worse. I guess you can leave it, I don't really care.  So what's going on in Ashton's world?

Ashton:Not much, headed to band practice, how about the lovely lady?

Lucy-loo:  Nothing either, relaxing, since I have a killer headache. Thinking about hanging out with my bff later.

Ashton: Aw, you really wanna hangout later? I wouldn't mind replaying the things that happened last night ;)

Michael had bursted through the door just then, heading straight for the fridge, looking for food. 

"Michael you know nothing is in there right? I barely eat here." I said, sauntering into the kitchen and sitting on the counter. 

"Yes, I know this. I was checking just incase." He turned to me, milk carton in hand, taking a sip straight out.

"Gross, Michael! I use that for cereal, you're gonna backwash!" Michael ended up with milk all down his chin and on the chest area of his shirt, trying to look mad, but laughing along with me. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"We're going on an adventure!" He put the milk away, dragging me outside to my car just after.

"Why can't you just drive ugh. These adventures would be more exciting if I didn't know where I was going."

"You and I both know that me driving is both a danger to society and myself. "

Before we took off I shot a quick text to Ashton, hoping he would be able to text back soon. 

Lucy-loo:  I didn't realize we had become best friends. Well I gotta go, my other bff is  carting me  off somewhere, no telling when I'll be able to text back.
