I wake up startled as ever. I don't even remember falling asleep. I sit up on the couch and sneak a peak at Audrey. She's sound asleep with her mouth hanging wide open. Small snores escape her mouth. I get up and shuffle to the kitchen. The clocks read four am but I know I won't be falling asleep anytime soon. I start a pot of coffee, appalled by the cheap brand they have.
Why is Brad barely even speaking to me? Now that I'm in his grasp doesn't he want me the way he did before. Okay so we don't text or talk on the phone, but we like each other's pictures and act super flirty on social media. Doesn't that count for something? I silently admit to myself, that I've been finding him rather annoying. He doesn't shut up. And he is so god damned loud! But he did dare me to kiss him, so doesn't that mean he wanted to kiss me? Maybe not...
"Kate?" someone asks behind me. I turn around and see Nate standing quietly behind the counter. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."
"It's ok. Would you like a cup of coffee?" I ask.
"Coffee this early? You will never sleep." He says softly.
"I wouldn't sleep anyways." I whisper to myself.
"I don't sleep much either. Too much stress."
I turn around. Embarrassed that he heard me. "What are you stressed about?"
"School and stupid little things..." he says.
"You just finished mid terms, you shouldn't be stressed out already." I answer before taking a sip of my coffee. We just sit there in silence for a couple of moments. Not awkward silence, but peaceful.
Without warning Nate gets up and starts walking up the stairs. He pauses for a second at the top and smiles slightly at me. "Goodnight Kate."
I get all snuggled up on the couch with my coffee mug in my left hand, iPhone in my right. I pull up twitter and cruse through the remaining social media's. Without realizing what I'm doing, I find myself on Nate's instagram profile. I examine his pictures but am quickly distracted by a picture with Brad. He's in the background wrapped around some Barbie looking figure. I hate her. Her lips are on his neck and I feel my blood begin to boil.
I understand that it's crazy to be so obsessed over a boy that isn't even mine. And it's even crazier for me to believe that I actually have some sort of feelings for him. I mean I've only met him in person two times before today. But he is so cute. He is so tall and it's obvious that he is of age but at the same time he has a childlike innocence. And I know that if he ever flashes me his puppy dog eyes, I will do whatever he asks.
I wake up panicked. Where am I? It takes me about thirteen and a half seconds to realize that I'm in my brother's foul living room. I check my phone for the time- ignoring the lack of texts and notifications. It's well past noon. My stomach rumbles and I ache for food. I look over to Audrey's couch but see that she's already up. Where is she?
I shuffle across the cold hard wood floor and perfect morning aromas assault my nose. Joshua and Audrey dance around the kitchen cooking crispy bacon and cinnamon buns.
"You're finally awake, thank fuck." Says Audrey crudely. I stick my tongue out at her and bite at some bacon.
"What's your plan for today, Josh?" I ask, in between chews.
"Um... I need to hit up the library. Can you guys entertain yourself for a couple of hours?"
"Yeah that's fine. Audrey and I will probably walk to the mall for a bit."
"Ok cool, catch you guys on the flip side." Joshua said before heading on the door.
It's almost dinner by the time we return home from the mall. Who knew we could shop so much. I throw my purchases in a pile by the TV and plop down the couch.
"I want to hit a bong so badly right now." Says Audrey and I can't contain my gasp. She knows how I feel about weed.
"Then smoke it up, Audrey." Joshua says as he plops down across from us.
She smirks at him. "Pack me a bowl?"
Audrey has the ability to make everything seem sexy. Aiden licks his lower lip slowly without removing his eyes from her. Ew, what the fuck!
I decide to go upstairs instead of stay downstairs and be around stupid weed. I don't understand why they would be stupid enough to waste/ruin their lives on drugs. Yes, you get high but is it really worth it? I wouldn't really know and I never intend too. I walk into the bathroom and turn the shower on. I don't usually shower every day because it makes my scalp too dry but I just feel so dirty in this house. I walk into my brother's room and pick out clean clothes to put on after my shower. After spending too long picking an outfit, I return to the bathroom. When I walk in, Nate is half naked getting ready to hop in.
"Oh my god!" I gasp. "I'm so sorry- I didn't mean-I'm sorry!" my eyes shift from his to his chest. I've never seen him shirtless before and boy have I been missing out. His pecks are muscular and defined. They lead down to toned abs. my mouth goes dry and I know that I should stop staring but I just can't. No matter what I do, I can't look away. I literally want to dick the hair that trails between his belly button and his... spot. Mmhmm.
"It's fine...really." He says almost smiling. I can't help but notice his checks redden. Am I making him nervous? No, I couldn't possibly.
"Ladies first." He says before exiting the washroom.
I blow-dry my thick dark hair until it hangs beneath my breasts. I walk down the stairs and bite into an apple. I almost spit it out when a hand lightly skims my butt.
"Looking good, Baby Bishop." Brad whispers softly in my ear. I feel a pulse down low. Oh how he has an effect on me.
"So what's everyone doing tonight?" I ask innocently.
Aiden looks at Joshua then back to me.
"We have to go down the block for a few hours but otherwise were getting fucked up with you girls!"
"Then let's get this party going!" Brad cheers.
I have never taken so many shots in my entire life. I've never been this drunk in my entire life. At least it's not just me. Everyone is completely plastered, well everyone except Nate. I love this. I love how I can get drunk with my brother and his friends and the fact that they don't treat my like a little child anymore. I love that I don't really care about what I look like for them because they've all seen my look worse. Usually I wear a ton of eye shadow and pointy wing eyeliner, but not today. I'm only wearing soft eyeliner and mascara. A more natural look and I must admit that I really like the way it looks with my hazel eyes. I wish I had Audrey's bright green eyes. I can't help but feel some jealousy for Audrey. She has the perfect body and the guys are all over her. All of the sudden I feel like I'm going to be sick. I stand up to go to the bathroom but I fall over almost instantly. I knew I was drunk but I didn't know I was this drunk.
I finally manage to get myself in the bathroom upstairs with out falling on the stairs or puking everywhere. I lay down beside the toilet and moan. Why did I think drinking this much would be a good idea? The next thing I know there are hands on me.
"Audrey ..." I whisper.
"Shhh..." a male voice whispers.
The person picks me up and walks me into one of the rooms. I assume its Joshua putting me on his bed because who else could it be? The hands start moving up and down my hips and skimming over top of my breasts. What the fuck!
