Destined For You

~Chapter 2~

(Javen's POV)

I get up slowly but the world around me seems to spin so I collapse to the floor. A sudden wave of nausea comes over me which makes me throw up right where I'm lying.

When I'm done I manage to stand up, I still feel a bit dizzy but I manage to start walking alright, although I'm a bit wobbly.

I look at my wrist watch to see that its 10:30PM. I must have been in the bar for about an hour.

Suddenly my phone rings in my pocket. I sigh and take it out to answer.

"Hello?" I slur.

"Javen? It's Ramiro" Ramiro's voice says.

"Ohhh, it's you" I slur.

"Javen, are you alright? Are you drunk? Where are you?" He says with concern.

"Why the hell does it matter anyways? You don't need to bother with me anymore" I glare at the ground.

"It matters to me. Me, Desiree, and Kayden all care about you. Why don't you come back to our house? We need to all be together"

"Well I just don't see the point anymore. No reason why any of you should care anymore so I'm going to do whatever I bloody well like" I state before I hang up and put my phone back in my pocket.

I start walking slowly, still feeling dizzy.

I keep walking on aimlessly through streets and alley ways I've never even seen before. I stop to throw up again.

Ugh I feel terrible, my head hurts like crazy. I know what I need.

I buy some cigarettes and a lighter in the nearest corner shop before sitting on the path and lighting one up.

Some time later I'm still sitting here under the dimmed lighting of a street lamp on the cold, uncomfortable pavement.

"Javen?" A boys voice calls

Turning around I see a kid that looks about 16 years old, Luella's brother Kayden.

"Kayden? Why are you out here? You should be with your family" 

"I could ask you the same" He pauses and sits down "Had to get away, Mum's trying to act normal while Dad won't even come out of his room. But this isn't normal, it never will be normal" He runs a hand through his black hair and sniffles.

I nod silently, pain hitting deep in my chest.

"What about you?"

"I'm..." I sigh "I don't even know" I say as I take a puff of my cigarette.

Kayden nods "Well you shouldn't be on your own"

We just sit there in silence for while in  silence.

I eventually break the silence by saying "Want me to take you home?"

"Alright, Mum and Dad are probably sleeping anyway" He replies as he gets to his feet.

"Why would it matter if they were awake?" I ask curiously.

"They'd worry about me, and you if they saw what a...mess you're in" He says with a small, grim smirk on his face "You're smoking again"

I sigh and roll my eyes .

We walk in silence until we get onto Kayden's street.

"I can't believe Lu's really gone" Kayden says quietly.
