"I promise it's okay haha, I didn't say I hated the attention you gave me" 'From Jade <3.'

My lord am I blushing?? What do I even say to that? Is my face red? What in the world is happening to me right now..? I'll text her back later. I set my phone down whilst it connected to the car as I slowly put the car into drive and eased my foot onto the gas pedal. It always felt so weird to drive another persons car, especially my brothers who I haven't seen in over ten years.

I'm driving down the highway to the nearest supply store when a massive migraine surges through my head; like a million little knives piercing through my brain. I'm never drinking again... yes I am. But not as heavy as I did last night because this type of headache, is never worth a handful of shots. Not to mention the rest of this killer hangover. I feel like I could pass out behind this wheel. My eyelids feel heavy, holding them open feels nearly impossible right now. Only a thirty minute drive.

It is insanely crowded in this store, I'm sure everyone is getting their last minute school supplies now since nearly every school opens back up tomorrow. I had to search through the scarce amount of supplies and find everything I needed before tomorrow. I had to admit I was so nervous to start at a new school. All new people, new country, practically a new family. It was all so unfamiliar it sort of made me panic a little. The thoughts, all the people in here and this deadly hangover is sending me into a panic. I need to get in and get the hell out.

I just need a few items yet it's so hard to find anything. I'm almost positive I won't end up using over half of these supplies once school really starts but better safe than sorry. After many aisles of searching and finding everything, I only need one more thing. A new laptop. This is going to take forever to find. I go to checkout and scan all my items and finally get out of there.

Only hopefully one more stop. This damn laptop.

My hangover is finally starting to ease up as I merge onto the highway. This store feels nearly impossible to find and it's starting to seriously get under my skin. I just need some sleep I think. I pull into a parking spot and my phone buzzes.

"Hey.. can you do me a favor?" 'From David." 

Oh great. I guess I'll return the favor since I'm using his car right now. I'm really hoping he doesn't ask me to go anywhere because I am beyond tired and overstimulated. I practically feel like I'm gonna throw up again.

"So look I know this is weird but can you go to the store and pick up some condoms....." 'From David."

Okay. What the fuck. There is no way in hell he just asked me that???

"Uhm no..? You can't go buy your own condoms..??" 'Text delivered to David.' 

He must be out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to buy him condoms. We've been living under the same roof for less than twenty-four hours. I guess I have to get used to this. I pull my hair up into a messy bun and let out a deep sigh. Okay, only two stores, it's gonna be fine. I unbuckle my seatbelt and lock the car door behind me as my phone buzzes not once, but twice.

"Well I would go but you took my car so.." 'Text from David.'

 Okay you know what.. that's completely fair. I guess I have to get him some stupid condoms. I roll my eyes and text him back a simple "okay"; annoyed at the fact that he's right. I hit send and checked my phone to see what the other notification was.

"I promise it's okay haha, I didn't say I hated the attention you gave me" 'From Jade <3 1 Hour Ago'

Shit. Shit. Shit. I completely forgot to text her back, I got so caught up in driving and looking for my supplies I just completely forgot she texted me. I reread the text to jog my memory and I'm blushing all over again. I feel too flustered to text back but I know I need to text her back.. I seriously have no clue what to say. Why am I so nervous to text her back??

"Omg I'm so sorry it's been such a busy day, lots of shopping and I'm still hungover as ever haha, and again, I'm sorry for acting like a creep last night. Those drinks really did something to me lol." 'Text delivered to Jade <3.'

 Those drinks definitely impacted me; more so than usual. Alcohol is major in my family so I'm practically immune to it at this point but I think I downed maybe seven shots..? Way less than usual and I'm feeling the hangover of twenty shots. This doesn't feel normal at all... Maybe that creepy guy slipped something in my drink.. I'm overthinking this surely. Whatever I just need to hurry up with all this shopping so I can finally leave.

{20 Minutes Later}

After that purchase, my bank account is practically screaming for help; left a major dent unfortunately. Just one more stop. Condoms. That aren't even for me; but for my brother. God that's so gross... My phone quietly buzzes.

"I promise it's okay love, maybe we can hang out some time and retry that when you're not drunk. You free Friday?" 'Text from Jade <3'

Oh. My. Lanta. I think I forgot how to breathe. There is absolutely no chance I'll be able to be that bold whilst being sober. Only drunk me could do something like that. I am absolutely freaking the fuck out. I'll text her back in a little, I need time to think about what the hell I'm gonna say to that..

{15 Minutes Later}

I arrive at the store finally after a short drive yet it felt like decades went by. Just get the condoms and get out. How hard can this be? I sigh and get out of the car. There weren't too many people here thankfully, but I still would rather be home than here.

 It feels like I've been running errands for hours. I walk up to the door as it automatically opens and a beep from overhead rang through the store; alerting the clerk that someone had walked in. I smiled at the women behind the counter; relieved that a woman would be scanning my items and not a man. There were quite a few aisles, however it didn't take long to find what I was looking for. I picked up whatever I could find and just hoped it was the right ones because God forbid, I'm not coming back here to buy him more. I pick them up and head over to the counter. I place down my condoms and a water  bottle, glanced up and awkwardly smiled whilst fidgeting with my necklace looking for some kind of comfort in this awkward situation. The lady smiled at me, yet with that smile, I knew she thought these were for me. Gross. As she's scanning the water, I hear the same beep that I heard when I entered the store; the one alerting the clerk that someone had walked in.

A familiar face smiled at me.

"Fancy seeing you here, pretty girl."
