Love, Drugs and Destruction

29. Go back to your girlfriend

We spent the rest of the evening just watching movies; Zac had to work tomorrow, so we did nothing. He also did not ask me about what happened so I was grateful for that. I woke up with Zac kissing me. "I'm leaving beautiful. You can just take the spare key when you are ready to leave." He says, and I nod, still half asleep. "Have a good day," I say, and he nods, walking out.

I woke up again from my phone ringing and I groan. Picking it up without looking at who it is. "Hello," "Are you still sleeping, Lia? Get your ass up and ready we are going surfing." I smile, hearing JJ, and I sit up. "Fine, give me half an hour," I say, standing up and pulling my clothes on. "Why where are you?" He asks, and I smile. "See you at the beach, J," I said, already walking out of the house.

I went and showered, glad I did not have to deal with my parents, and I took a quick shower. I look at myself in the mirror and frown. Fuck, Zac left marks this time, normally, he was careful when it came to it, but I guess he got carried away just like me. I grab my bag and walk back to my car again.

I walked to the beach after parking and spotted the pogues immediately. "Well, hello, everyone." I greet them with a smile, and I see them looking at the marks on my neck and then at me. "Morning Lia did you have a good evening?" Pope asks, and I nod, sitting next to Kie, watching JJ, Sarah, and John B surf

"Who gave you those?" Kie asks, judging me a little, and I laugh, taking the beer Pope gives me. "No one," I say, and she nods, looking down. "Was it Rafe?" Pope asks, and I frown. "Fuck no," I say, sipping my beer and smiling when I see JJ running up to me. "I made it J," I say, and he nods, his eyes going to the hickeys. "Are you going to come surf?" He asks, and I nod. "Let me just finish my beer," I say downing the beer.

I took off my clothes and then took my board walking with JJ to the water. We surf a few waves and then we lay on the surf boards. "So who are you fucking?" JJ asks and I sigh. "It's Zac okay if you must know," I say, and he nods, looking angry. "JJ, if you are going to get angry every time I hook up with another guy, then I won't tell you," I say, and he nods, biting his lip. "Yeah, I know, but I am jealous." He says, and I roll my eyes.

"J, I value our friendship too much," I say, and he smiles. "I know, me too, but I must say you changed a lot, Lia." I nod, laying my head on my hand. "I know, Rafe changed me," I say and he kept quiet. "Come, let's go get a beer." He tells me and we start paddling back 

I saw Sarah talking with Rafe and I stopped by the water. "Come on, Lia," JJ calls, and Rafe turns his head to look at me. I roll my eyes and walk back to the others. "How were the waves?" Pope asks, and I shrug, still looking at Sarah and Rafe; it feels like they are talking about me. "It was good man," JJ answers, giving me a beer, and I thank him.

"What is he doing here?" I ask, and JJ shrugs. "He wanted to ask Sarah about something." John B says, and I nod, looking at the water. I could feel Rafe staring at me, and I could not take it anymore. "So what are the plans for the rest of the day?" I ask turning my back on Rafe. "We can chill at the chateau," JJ says. "Or we can take the HMS Pogue and go fishing." John B says, and I smile. "That sounds great I haven't been on the boat for a while now."

Sarah came back, and I ignored her; I would not acknowledge her until she apologized to me. "Hey guys, okay so hear me out. Rafe is  taking my dad's boat out, just him and Sofia, and he wants us to join." She says, looking hopeful at all of us. "Well, I am in." John B says, and I roll my eyes. The rest agreed, except for me and JJ; JJ gave me a look. "I would rather kill myself, thank you," I say, and JJ nods.

"If Lia is not going I am not going." "No, J, go have a good day; I know you always wanted to go on a fancy boat," I said and he looked unsure. "No, I will stay with you; we can take the HMS Pogue out and go fishing." He said, and I did not miss the disappointment in Kie's eyes. "Okay," I say, and we all stand up. "You can drive with me," I tell him, and he agrees.

We strapped the surfboards, ready to leave. "Lia, can I talk to you real quick?" Sarah asks, and I nod, walking away from the others with her. "Look, I know you hate my brother, but don't let that stop you from having fun." She says, and I frown. "What makes you think I will not have fun?" I ask crossing my arms. She runs her hands through her hair, rolling her eyes. "You can be such a bitch sometimes you know." She says, and I roll my eyes.

"Look, Sarah, I am not fighting with you again, so go and enjoy your time with your brother and leave me alone," I say, walking to my car. "Drop the act, okay? I am so fucking tired of you complaining about everything, fuck, you left my brother, so get over it." She snaps, and I turn around, furious. "What the fuck did you just say?" I snap back walking to her.

John B. moves closer, and JJ, and so does Rafe, who was still here for some reason. "If I remember correctly, you were the one so against me being with your brother because he will destroy me and now you kiss his ASS!"I shout pushing her. "Yeah, well, he is better off without you; look at him. He is doing great!" She says, pushing me back. "Yeah, and I am not right? Sarah; you were right about one thing he did fucking DESTROY ME; NOW LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" I shout I have completely lost control, and my hand goes up to smack her. 

"No, it's enough, Lia," Rafe says, grabbing me by my waist and pulling me away from Sarah; I see John B. pulling Sarah to the Twinkie. "LET GO OF ME!" I shout digging my nails in his arm. He finally does and I push him hard against his chest. "Don't you ever touch me again?" I push him again. "I fucking hate you; I hate what you have done to me!" I shout, pushing him again, the tears running down my face.

"You should have never come back; you just fuck up everything," I shout pushing him again. JJ grabs me and pulls me to his chest. "It's okay, Lia, it's enough." He said, stroking my hair, and I started sobbing. "Lia, please just talk to me," Rafe begs, and I finally look at him, wiping my eyes. "No, I am done, Rafe, with you and your fucking sister. Now go back to your girlfriend and leave me alone!" I shouted, storming to my car and got in.

I see the others look at me like I am a crazy bitch and maybe I am. I dig in my bag, take a pill, and swallow it. I saw Rafe and JJ exchange words, and JJ got in the car with me. "You okay to drive?" He asks, and I nod. "Let's just get out of here," I say driving off without looking at the others.

Okay, so we can see how the pills are affecting Lia. Please let me know what you think.
