The Beginning

Bonding

Kelsey's POV
It's the day after and I'm feeling hung over.
I take some Advil and get ready while Kesey is still sleeping, she spent the night at my house because if her parents saw how fucked up she was she would've never left the house again.
I take about a 1 hour shower and put on some white shorts, a cute crop top, and some sandals. I leave my hair natural, very curly.
I get out and I notice Kesey isn't in bed anymore so I assume she's downstairs.
My headache has somewhat gone away so I eat something before checking my phone.
"35 new messages, 600 notifications" I read.
Most notifications are from my Instagram because I'm kinda Instagram famous.
I check my messages and notice I have one from Justin.
"Hey, you down to go smoke?" I read.
I reply with a simple "sure." And check my message from Kesey.
"Hey I left your house in a hurry because I needed to go to church with parents, meet me there at 1?".
I text back "omw" and grab my keys.
I get to church a bit late but I quickly spot Kesey and sit down next to her.
"Hey, sorry I'm late."
"It's fine, but this headache is killing me I hope you bought me some Advil."
I laugh, "I gotcha Sista."
About 20 minutes later church ends and we start heading out.
"Mom, I'm going to Kelsey's for a bit okay? I'll be back home around 3."
"Okay sweety, I'll see you later, nice meeting you Kelsey!" She waves.
I wave back and we get in the car.
"So you and Justin eh?" Kesey winks.
I turn up the music.
She then quickly laughs and turns the music down.
"I saw you guys yesterday"
"How? You were drunk as fuck" I giggle.
"Hey a drunk girl sees everything but so what happened? Are you into him?"
"Mhm, I mean he has a girlfriend so that's 1st, then he kinda said something that threw me off about him yesterday I don't know."
"Well girl, I can tell that he thinks your hot and you know if you do end up liking him just make sure you think about it before he has a reputation and I don't want you getting hurt."
"Yeah, I don't think nothing's gonna happen between us."
"Yeah sure."
Kesey and I go out to eat at Olive Garden before I take her home.
At around 7:30 Justin texts back.
"Be ready at 8"
"Where are we going?" I reply.
"You'll see" I read.
I put my hair into a sock bun and put on some nike sweats, a white v neck, and my white nike roshes.
Wait Kelsey. Why're you worried about how you look? You don't like him, it's just a friend thing. Just going to smoke, that's it. I think.
I patiently wait until around 8:23 when I hear a beep outside.
I grab my phone and slip my credit card into my pocket before heading out.
I hop into his matte black Ferrari and we ride out.
"Someone dressed up" he looks me up and down and chuckles.
"Shut up I thought we were just gonna smoke?"
"We are but somewhere else, what'd you think?"
"I don't know, so what's wrong with me wearing sweats?" I feel my cheeks getting red from embarrassment.
"Nothing's wrong, they look good" he smiles.
"So anyway, I asked you to go smoke with me because I want you to get to know me, I'm not really that type of guy."
"It doesn't look like it." I look away.
"Also, I want to get to know you."
I look over at him and smile.
"Well Justin, what would you like to know about my horrendous life?"
"Um well why did you move here?"
I get quiet. "Um my mom is an alcoholic and she's well kinda crazy."
"Oh" is all he says.
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Mines kind of the opposite, my dad abused my mom growing up and he's in jail now."
"That sucks" I look at my feet.
"Yeah I guess."
We make a stop in front of Walmart.
"Why're we here?" I laugh.
"We're gonna need to satisfy our munchies some way or another aren't we?" He smirks.
We walk into Walmart and grab almost every kind of sweet pastry, chips, and candy.
After shopping over $150 of munchy food we drive to an abandoned parking lot.
He takes out a huge bag of weed & blunts.
"Wow, what are you a drug dealer?" I ask shocked.
"No, Ryan got it for me" he says before he takes a hit and lays back.
We smoke for about an hour until I feel it take over me and Justin.
At this point honestly I'm so high I thought Justin was Kesey for a moment.
We laugh for no reason, and just joke around, before were awakened by the sound of sirens going off.
"Shit Justin!, Drive!" I yell.
"What?" He turns and sees before driving off the fastest I've seen a car go.
We end up getting away from the cops and we stop at a random street to eat.
"That was close" I laugh.
"Yeah tell me about it" he sighs.
It's about 11:30 p.m. now.
"So what about your girlfriend?" I ask.
"We broke up this morning" he looks away.
"Oh, sorry" I say.
Then I think to myself what if he only asked me out to hook up?
"Wait is that why you asked to smoke with you?"
"What?... No?" He lays up.
"Then why?" I ask angrily.
"I'm gonna be honest and I was planning to hook up but-" I cut him off
"I guess you really aren't different are you? Take me home now." I strap on my seat belt.
He does the same and he drops me off home without saying another word.
I check my phone before I enter the house. "12:10 a.m."
I slowly open the door trying not to make noise. I take small steps upstairs and notice my sisters light is on. Great.
I walk as lightly as possible trying not to make noise and open my bedroom door before somebody taps my back, fuck.
"Were you smoking? Ugh gross" I turn to see the one and only one of my sisters face.
"Don't tell dad, please." I beg.
"I won't, just you need to stop lately all you've been doing is smoking" she rolls her eyes.
It's somewhat true that I have been smoking a lot but it's none of her business.
"Whatever." I close my door.
I suddenly feel tears going down my cheeks and just crawl in bed.
At this point I don't care about anything.
