Falling Too Deep

Chapter 29

Nick - POV:

This view was amazing.

The outside air was very chilly tonight. The chill made me shiver. As I laid on the roof of my house I closed my eyes and took a big breath. It was so cold the air burned my lungs like a tar filled cigarette.

I glanced at the whiskey bottle that was sitting next to me. It was smiling at me I know it. It wanted me to drink it. I grabbed the bottle and rubbed it between my frozen hands. This cap could come off easily.

I popped the top off with my thumbs and swirled the whiskey around. The smell was welcoming and sensational. I pressed the bottle on my lips and quickly set it back down next to me. I couldn't drink that! What was I thinking!?

I laid back down and closed my eyes trying to clear my head but my thoughts caught up with me.

You know you wanna drink it.

Drink it.

Drink it. It will be worth it.

I turned to look at the bottle and sighed. One sip wouldn't hurt right? I pressed the bottle to my mouth and took a little sip. The taste exploded in my mouth and I smiled in relief. Oh how I missed that taste...I took one more sip just to be safe and after that everything became fuzzy.

Maria and her twin busted out on the roof, they were yelling at me.

"Nick! Get down! Have you been drinking?"

I chuckled and pointed to her twin. "I dideent kno yu had a twein Maria."

She frowned and held her hand out for me to grasp. "Take my hand, you're drunk."

I shook my head at her and stumbled to the edge of the roof. She began yelling at me louder. I didn't like when she yelled.

"Nick come here! You're going to fall off!"

I looked down at the floor and realized I was pretty high. The grass was blurry and I could hear the grasshoppers. They were very loud tonight. Cheep, cheep, cheep.

I laughed at myself and turned to face Maria. "Wut if I wana jump?"

Her eyes widened. Very wide. Her twin copied her. "Nick please, you are drunk and you have a problem. You know that. Come to me so I can help you."

I stared at her hands that were edging closer to me and I stepped back a little. "Yu can't heulp meh. No one caun."

She sighed. "Nick please. I treat you like you are one of my own. Please come inside. Please."

I didn't respond and she finally grabbed me and pulled me safe inside my bedroom. I stumbled to the floor and she was by my side instantly. "Oh Nick you're a mess! Why would you drink? You know you aren't supposed to!"

I glared up at her and pushed her away. "What are you? My mom?!"

She frowned and crossed her arms, shaking her head at me in disappointment. "I see you sobered up fast. And no, I'm not your mom, she died years ago."

I covered my ears and screamed at her causing her to jump back. "GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT!"

She slowly got up and walked away from me, but before she left she turned around...her eyes were filled with tears. "Be smart Nick."

Once she left I grabbed my phone and called up Tori. I needed to have fun tonight.
