I woke up. Drunk. "Damn again?" I moaned. I got a bottle of water. "Drake wake up." he moans. Drake is my best friend and had been since pre-k. I find it unbelievable that we've been best friends for 12 years. we're juniors in highschool. I jump on him to wake him up. "ow what the hell" I laugh. he pushes me off and I land on the floor. "Come onnnnnn" I yell while taking the blankets off of him. "You have to take me home." "Where's your car?" he said. "You told me to leave it at my house remember?" he nods. "Why you leaving?" he said as he got up from the couch. "Eh I don't know." "Just stay here." he said. "Ughhh" I've been here for two days Drake. I can't avoid them forever. "Please?" "Fine." I smiled I sat on the couch and crossed my arms. "What are we going to do now?" "You're going to tell me what happened with your mom." he said as he pointed at my chest. "What do you mean?" I asked. "What was the fight about?" "Honestly it was just stupid. She yelled at me because she was drunk and I was taking care of my brother with special needs. Like wtf. You can't get drunk and have a son with epilepsy. Like yeah I get drunk too but only when I'm with you. And I barely see you." "Damn Samantha." he said. "Yeah. I'm the only one not drunk in the house. My other brother is always drunk or high." I said as I uncrossed my arms and put them on my lap. "It's okay. You can move in with me if you'd like." he offered. "Really?" I said "Really." he replied. "Can you come with me to get my clothes?" "Sure." he smiled. I got in the car with him and drove to my house. I got my keys and opened my door. "John! he's having a seizure! where's the magnet?" I went to the fridge and grabbed it. I swiped his chest and he was okay. My mom comes in. I go to my room and pack. Drake helps me. I go to my brother's room and see if he's drunk. "Tony?" I said curiously. "Yes." he said. "I need you to take care of everyone for me. Can you do that?" "I can." I hugged him goodbye then I leave. "What are you doing here? I thought you moved out with your little boyfriend." "He isn't my boy friend." I say calmly. I turn around and walk out the door and get in my car and drive to my new home. I get there. "Hey -hey you okay?" I sat down on the couch and started balling my eyes out. "Hey Samantha you okay?!" he repeated. "I just wish there was something I can do." "With john and Tony, you know?" "Me too." he said. I sniffled. "Where can I unpack my things?" "Oh I have a room upstairs." I went upstairs dragging my things on the floor. Drake comes behind me and lifts up my things. He brings them to my new room. "There you go." he says. "Wait." I said. "Thank you. for... this I really appreciate it." "Anything for my best friend." He smiles. "Hey. Um I got a question when you're done unpacking." "Okay." he leaves. I take a deep breath and get on my phone. 3 new messages. I unlock my phone and go on iMessage.

I unpack my things and put them in my drawer. I go downstairs and there are flowers everywhere. I see drake sitting on a white couch with red flowers on it. I smiled. "Samantha, Will you be mine?" "Yes" I smiled. he stood up and kissed me. I grabbed his face and I heard a knock on the door. "My mom!" "Shit."
