Heartbreakers: The Cursed Child- Book 1

Chapter 15

Will was perched on the stool next to me, blabbering about his degrees and what his job was, his family and the drinks he like most. He already drunk two shots of whiskey yet he didn't seem to be drunk and now he was on a bottle of beer. I had a glass of beer sat infront of me though I didn't even touch it.

"You alright babes? Why you not drinking?" He was playing along well with the stupid game, it was probably normal for him.
"Yeh. I'm alright. I just don't want to drink." I seriously hated using words like 'babes' or anything romantic and mushy, I hated that kind of shit.

"You wanted to drink with me before coming here, why now now?." He smiled at me though it was full of pure evil, a shocked gasp left Anne's mouth and a snicker from John's. I kicked his leg from underneath the table, making him gasp as he struggled to contain the pain that I had caused him.

"I swear, I didn't say that. He's lying. I promise." I wanted them to believe what I was saying. I pushed him away then rolled my eyes at him when suddenly Anne whispered something to John.

"They're just like us when we were their age." They both chuckled before John broke it off, turning to us.

"You know what they're like, girls don't drink as much as guys." A slap echoed in my ears, Anne slapped his arm playfully and he just laughed at her.

"I used to drink much more than John here. I would drink even after he fell unconscious." She smirked at him and I knew they had their own fun.

"You up for the challenge?" Will was now talking to me, he handed me his bottle of beer to finish off before getting another two bottles.
"I don't drink. You already know that."
"So you're scared to drink?" He smiled whilst John and Anne stared in interest at his proposal.

I knew what he was trying at, reverse psychology. Well, I was a master at that so I gave a reply that no one would have the guts to say.

"You know what? I am scared. I'm very scared of drinking which is why I've never drank in my whole entire life." I smirked at him evilly before getting off of my stool and turning to the half shocked couple who were now dying from laughter.

His jaw dropped onto the ground and knew that I'd won this impossible round. Laughter erupted from all around us and I couldn't help but smile as Will scowled at me.

"That's why you should never lie when it's about me." I whispered quietly and made his face turn blood red, his anger was boiling and I could feel it.

When I turned around there were lots of women cheering me on and praising me for my response that I had given him, cackling at my confidence as they slapped my back in pride. I turned to leave upstairs until I felt Will approach me from behind.

"Can I stay over? I'm too drunk to go home." A wicked grin spread across his face like an infection. I knew this was dangerous and I was putting myself at risk.

"AAAAAAAGGGHHH!" Clutching me tightly as his arms were tightly wrapped around my neck as he screamed in a voice that was a few octaves higher than a usual girls' voice. The doll had just turned around and creeped the shit out of him but obviously him being in the drunken state he was being stupid. I decided that we would watch Annabelle and instead here I was suffering because of his ear piercing screams and I couldn't even concentrate on the movies.

Instead I changed the movie to The Lorax, a kids movie that wasn't scary at all. It was something I loved watching, even now Od still manage to watch it. As soon as it had been around 30 minutes into the movie, I screamed.
"Oh my gosh! That's you Will. You're in the movie!"

"Wait! Where? That orange guy? Is that me?!" He was still drunk, mad, and it only made everything even better. He was literally serious, staring at me laughing whilst he thought he was in a movie. A few minutes later he fell asleep next to me, his body sprawled out on the sofa. Switching off the TV, I made my way to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, changing into a floor length nightgown that covered every inch of my body before making my way to the bed.

I wanted to be a great deal away from him so I set my alarm for five in the morning to ensure I'd be awake before him.
