We Go Down Together [ ENGLISH VERSION ]

35. I Want To Be With You

Scorpia puts a +2 blue card on top of the 5 blue card that Jade had placed a minute before on the pile.

Jade returns the move with another red +2.

Scorpia drops another +2, yellow.

- For the love of the gods Scorpia - Jade says, slamming her cards on the table, face down, and picks up the bottle of tequila.

- That's a six right there- Scorpia says with a smile, the victory filling her with an cocky humor.

- Yes, I can count- Jade says, picking up the shot glass and filling it.

- Are you sure?- Her sister teases her - Because after all the shots you've taken I'm not sure.

Jade turns the second shot with fire in her eyes, a sudden idea comes to her mind, to throw a shot in Scorpia's face, but she wouldn't commit this kind of disrespect just because she's losing at the fucking uno.

As frustrating as it is.

As she turns the sixth shot, she feels the alcohol hit her empty stomach like a stone, her body boils and a sudden heat takes her over.

- By all the seven gods - She stands up to grab the air conditioning control.

Scorpia bursts into laughter and bends backwards, she laughs so hard that she falls from the arm of the couch and headfirst to the floor, cursing all the existing gods, Jade laughs at her face, her belly hurts so hard that she gets cramps.

They both stand laughing like two idiots for several minutes before a drunken Scorpia rises from the floor and throws herself back on the couch, dropping the uno cards in the air.

Jade turns the bottle of tequila over, not bothering to use a glass, she and Scorpia drink the rest until the bottle is empty, and their stomachs are full of alcohol.

Jade feels her mind clouding with inebriation, the other five bottles of tequila finally taking effect in her potent body.

She immerses herself in the sensation, closing her eyes and giggling like a sucker.

- I'm going to... - Scorpia says before letting out a low burp - Get something that isn't alcohol.

- It's four in the morning- Jade exclaims, -what do you want to be sober for?

- I have to go see Boorman- she says loudly from the kitchen.

- Mimimimimi - Jade grumbles, suddenly bitter at the news that soon her sister would leave her to go after her male.

The audacity of that bitch!

- Oh don't be so sour - Scorpia returns with bags of blood in her hands, she throws two of them to Jade.

- I was the rejected one- Jade says, her words shuffling out of her mouth -so I should have the right to have you for as long as I want.

Scorpia laughs and hugs Jade.

- Own, my little sister needs me- She teases, Jade pushes her, tearing the blood bag with her tooth and turning the contents in her mouth.

The metallic taste of blood mixes with the alcohol from the tequila and runs cold and burning down her throat, immediately making her senses sharp and eager, the blood entering her morbid veins and giving life to her body, like a breath of air after being underwater for too long.

The sensation was as electrifying as the effect of drugs, and mixed with the alcohol content in her system, Jade felt more stoned than ever.

- It's been so long since I've felt like this- she says, laying her head on the couch and closing her eyes, feeling the adrenaline rush through her veins like shock.- Ah how I miss being alive
