Love Never Lasts

Chapter # 10 Drunk

     "See you later." "So who was that?" Charlie asked me. Was Charlie jealous? "That was Ethan, he was in my ELA class." "Anyways wanna go swim?" "Yeah." We jumped into the pool together holding hands, It felt like a dream. 

     Sarah and Zack were already in the pool. "Eve your face." Sarah mouthed to me. Oh shoot, the makeup must be coming off. I don't want Charlie to see it. I covered my face with my wet hair so he wouldn't see. 

     "Your hair is covering your face." He wiped the hair out of my face. "What happened to your face?!" I hung my head but his hand was still on my face. He got closer and lifted my face up to his. "Who did this to you?" He sounded serious. 

     "Charlie don't worry about it, it's fine, it's been taken care of." "Taken care of? It is clear some choked you. And look at your arms." He pulled my arms out of the water to look closer at them. I tried pulling away from him but I winced. 

     "Hey I'm sorry I don't mean to hurt you, I'll drop it." "Thanks." He pulled me into a hug. As revenge I kicked his legs from underneath him pulling him into the water. Charlie pulled me in with him. 

      We both came up from the water laughing. We spent a while in the pool. When we all got out I went to Sarah's car to grab our towels. I found Sarah and gave her the towel. 

      I wrapped my towel around my shoulders, I went over to the snack bar and got some chips. Someone handed me a drink. I didn't know what was in it but it smelled good. I tried it and it was really good. I gulped it down. I refilled my cup and gulped down another cup. I refilled my cup one more time. 

     I walked away from the snack bar with my drink. I felt a little dizzy. I drank the rest of what was in the cup. I headed back over to the snack bar for more of that amazing drink. 

     Later Charlie found me by the snack bar drinking. "Evelyn, what are you drinking?!" He grabbed my cup from me. He took a small taste. "This is really strong alcohol. How much did you drink?" "I don't know a few cups." I said. "Evelyn, you're drunk." He pulled me by the hand. I was tripping over my feet but Charlie caught me. 

     Charlie took me out to his car. He put me in the front seat and he sat in the driver seat. "Why did you drink so much?" " I don't know, it just tasted good." "Did you even know it was alcohol?" "No, if I did I wouldn't have drank it." "Well it's fine, you're gonna have a bad hangover tomorrow morning." "Gotta love karma." 

     We were both still in our suits. We were both dry though. I was staring at Charlie again. How can one person be so attractive? I wasn't thinking clearly. I leaned in and kissed his soft lips. 

     When I saw his face he looked in shock. "That was-...amazing." I smiled. I threw myself over on top of Charlie's in his lap. I was now sitting on top of him in his car. I cupped his face with my hands and slammed my lips against his. He put his hands around my waist pulling me in closer. Our lips crashed into each other. I felt something slip into my mouth. Oh my gosh it was Charlie's tongue. I couldn't get enough. I was running out of air. 

     I pulled away to catch my breath before returning to Charlie's soft lips. I felt his lips travel down to my neck then to my topper chest. I let out a gasp. Charlie was leaving marks. He was marking me. 

     He pressed his wet lips against my chest. I let out a soft moan. I covered my mouth quickly, surprised by what just came out of my mouth. Charlie leaned back to look at me. He removed my hand from my mouth. "Don't cover your mouth, I want to hear more." 

     That sent a shiver through my whole body. I kissed him again and again and again. His scent was so strong I felt drenched in it. "You taste like alcohol." Charlie pulled away. "I'm sorry we shouldn't be doing this." "W-what? Why?" 

     "Evelyn I like you a lot, but you're drunk I don't wanna take advantage of you." I felt so embarrassed. "I know you're the one who's drunk but I feel as if I am." I looked at him and his face was all red. "Sorry I wasn't thinking clearly." "It's ok, I can tell it was a hard night for you." 

     His fingers trailing along the big mark from my face to my throat. "I guess but seeing you tonight makes it all worth wild." I said pulling him in for one last kiss. I got out of the car quickly embarrassed by my actions. 

     "Wait, do you need a ride home?" He called after me. "No, Sarah is taking me to her place." I told him. Still wobbly, I went to Sarah's car. She was already in there with Zack. They were making out. 

     I flopped into the back seat of Sarah's car. "Heyyyyy." I said. My voice was shaky. "Evelyn, are you drunk?!" "Yup!" "Damn, today is not your day." "Well one thing went well." "What?" Sarah asked. I touched my fingers to my lips. "I kissed Charlie." "You kissed Charlie?!" "Yup!" "Eve, that's amazing, so how did it go?" "It was best, he even gave me these." 

     I point to the bruises on my chest from Charlie's soft lips. "Damn that's a bold move even from Charlie." Zack said. "You're one to talk, I see those hickeys on Sarah's neck, I may be drunk but I'm not blind." "Damn. I was gonna have you drive home because I planned on getting drunk but you're even more drunk than me." Sarah said. 

     "It's ok I can drive, I'm not that drunk." "Eve, your hammered, plus you get anxious, driving in general with or without being drunk." Sarah made a good point. But my head was spinning. I wasn't thinking straight stuipd things just fell just out of my mouth. Something slammed on the window by my head. I jumped so high, my heart raced. 

     "What was that?" I screamed shooting up. I backed away as far as I could from the window. I looked through the window and saw Ethan. I rolled down the window. "What the heck Ethan you scared the crap out of me!" I screamed at him. 

     "Wow wow chill, I saw you get into this car so I followed, I kinda need a ride home my friends left me if you guys don't mind." "I don't know Ethan, we have a problem ourselves, she's hammered and I'm drunk, I'm not that drunk but still I want to be safe." Sarah said. "I haven't drank anything, I'll drive." "You really didn't drink anything?" Sarah asked. "Sounds shocking I was going to but someone drank it all. There was none left for me." "That someone would be me." I said, raising my hand proudly. 

     "I'm surprised you're hammered out of all people." Ethan pointed out. I just shrugged. "Me too, how did that even happen? You've never drank before." Sarah asked. "Well you know someone handed me a drink that smelled good, tasted good, so I kept on drinking. I didn't know it was alcohol." I explained. 

     "You're so dumb." "Thanks!" I said cheerfully. "What happens to your face Evelyn?" Ethan asked. "Some guy wanted to have sex with me, I said no, he got mad and choked me." "Damn that's rough, are you ok?" "Yup! Can't feel anymore." "Well I gotta go, call me when you guys get home so I know you got home safe." Zack said to Sarah, giving her a kiss goodbye.

     He left and Sarah got into the passenger seat while Ethan got into the driver seat. "Can I trust you?" Sarah asked Ethan. "Of course you can." "Ok, Eve, buckle up, it might be a bumpy ride." Sarah told me. "Hey! I'm offended." Ethan Shoved Sarah. "Ok ok I'm sorry." She said. I finally sat up and buckled. 

     My phone started buzzing. "Who's that?" Ethan asked. "I don't know." "Then why don't you check?" "I don't even know where my phone went." "Well it's somewhere in the car." "How are you so sure?" "Because it just buzzed." "Oh yeah..." "You really are hammered." He said laughing. 

     "Hey man it's not nice to laugh at people." I pounded. "Aw, I'm sorry for laughing." "You better be." My phone buzzed again. I looked around for it. Looking around the car made my head hurt.

     "Ugh." "You ok back there Eve?" Sarah asked. "Yeah, it's just that my head is pounding." "That's what happens when you get drunk." 

     I found my phone. I check who was texting me. It was Charlie. The texts said. "Hope you get home safe." "Text me when you get home." "Evelyn, who's that guy who got in the car with you?" "Evelyn, is everything alright?" 

     My head was all fuzzy and I couldn't see straight. I tried typing out a message back to Charlie but the message turned out like "yedrt hvety yhikf ir olyught." Charlie texted back right away "huh?" "Are you ok?" 

     I'm too tired for this, typing is too hard right now I give up. I closed my eyes and fell asleep In the back seat.
