Snakes

Chapter 2

"Wait isn't that the same street..as my mother?.."

You stood paused at this sight. "Maybe it's a glitch."
Your phone started to ring. Alex. You clicked your phone off set it on the coffee table and grabbed your glass heading up-to bed.

Once you had gotten comfortable and managed to fall asleep you woke up around 1PM in the afternoon noticing your phone and some cold toast sat on a tray on your bedside table. You looked beside you. No Alex, you began to get suspicious but ignored it and adjusted yourself so you was sat up. You picked your phone up to see dozens of phone calls and texts from your mother and Alex. "What the fuck." You said opening yours and Alex's chat. Then a notification popped up 'Mums birthday!!' Oh shit. You sat up and scrambled for clothes and shoes throwing them on and jumping in the car pulling out of your drive. Your phone rang again your mother this time. You picked up in a hurry.

"Hi mum! I'm so sorry I slept in where are you guys." You said is a panicked tone.

"Honey..we left for the flight 6 hours ago..Alex said he told you? We're currently on the plane now." Your mother said in a hushed tone.

You paused thinking about what to say. "Are you fucking kidding me!? No! He didn't! He wasn't even home! He was with you! Why didn't he wake me!"

Your mother stayed quiet. "Honey..I wasn't home last night it was just your sister who was home. Are you not with Alex? He's not on the plane either..it's just me and your dad."

You stayed silent letting out a sigh. "I'm so sorry mum I'll come next time. I'll pay you back for the tickets and find out where those two are. Enjoy your time! I love you."

You then hung up the phone and opened find my phone seeing Alex still at your mothers house. 'Active 10 minutes ago.' You slammed your brakes turning around heading to your mothers. "Those fuckers! Seriously on her birthday!" You reached your mothers within 10 minutes walking up-to the door. You stopped dead in your tracks seeing into the front window. Alex was on-top of your sister. Both being naked. You felt your eyes fill up with tears as you turned around getting back into your car  pulling away and driving to the nearby beach. You got out picking up a bag sitting on the cold sand.

Alex was calling. Instead of sending him to voicemail you decided to pick up clearing your throat. "Hey love! Wanna tell me why you missed the flight! And didn't wake me!" You said in a straight annoyed voice.

He laughed. "I completely forgot! I've already sorted it with your parents we're going to do something for them when they get home. But where are you? Your locations off.. and it's getting late are you coming home?"

You scoffed to yourself tears still streaming down your face. "Not tonight I'm staying with a friend. I have to go." You hung up straight after throwing your phone starting to cry once again.

You felt a warm hand on your shoulder. "Miss...are you okay..?" It was a tall man who towered over you with thick black hair and crystal eyes. He took a seat next to you. "Is everything okay?" You smiled wiping your tears.

"My fiancée is cheating on me. With my sister." You saw his face turn from sympathy to disappointment. "That is horrible! I'm so sorry! It must be hard finding that out...I'm Hudson by the way..and you are...?"

You smiled looking at him. "I'm Cecelia. It's nice to meet you." He gave off a warm smile before taking out a flask. "You drink?" He held the flask towards you offering you it. "Who in their right mind doesn't " you took the flask taking a sip then letting out a (bleh) sound. "Is that pure tequila?!" Hudson smiled laughing slightly "yeah.." you both began to laugh.

After awhile you and Hudson ended up at his apartment on his sofa laughing with each other sharing stories. "So Hudson. Are you single?" He laughed giving you a gentle look. "If it's correct for the last 17 years I've been single." Your jaw dropped. "Are you serious!? How old are you? You look 20!" He burst out laughing placing a hand on your thigh. "I'm 24 and you?..wait! No let me guess! Uh.... 20!" He had an excited expression on his face which made your stomach twirl. "I'm 21. But close enough!" You both began talking some more before he stopped. "You are gorgeous, your fiancé is an idiot." He blushed slightly and before you knew it you both was making out.
