Questions and Drinking - Chapter 16

Mai and I sat on top of her bed with our legs crossed, we were so close our knees were on top of each other's. Luke and Jackson glaring down at me, Mai was glaring at Luke like he was some horrible monster.

"So..." I awkwardly said.

"Don't 'so' us, we have some questions to ask you." Luke practically growled.

"Yeah, like when did you start having flashbacks, and... Water heals you?" Jackson-Ryan or whatever asked.

"And what about you being hurt by us being with others?" Luke said looking more worried than before.

I took a deep breath in and looked them both straight in the eyes. "Ok, I guess I've been having dreams about my past lives since I was young but the flashbacks started not so long ago. I found out water heals me the night I ran and sat in the lake, after I stayed in the water my bruises completely disappeared. And... Yeah... I made the connections that when one of you have relations with other people, I kinda get... Hurt." I looked down at My hand intertwined with Mai's and weakly smiled at her.

"So your bruises... Are they my fault?" Luke asked, he looked as white and chalk.

"Maybe, I mean half at least we still have the other 'suiter' that's with someone else. Or do you know who they are?"

"I, ah, yeah, it's Joshua." Jackson answered. I sighed indicating that I knew it.

Mai squeezed my hand. "It's always the good kissers isn't it?" She joked, we both laughed.

The boys didn't look happy about what we just said so I stopped laughing, but I can't say the same for Mai. Luke and Jackson left and Mai dropped me off at home, making sure to tell me how unlucky we were that the hot guys were the cursed ones.

I woke with the worst purple bruise on my side on Tuesday morning. I had the normal routine with Mai other than some random questions about witches which turned into vampires and werewolves. I don't even want to know if any of them exist, I'm already going through enough. The boys kept eyeing me at school I tried to act normal but the bruise wasn't making it easy.

At lunch 2 I found out why I might have had a bruise, Michaela had lost her virginity to Josh. It was circulating through the whole school, I feel like and idiot it was so obvious that Josh was the last boy but I kept myself in denial.

I decided to text Josh. 'Meet me at True Intentions at 7pm at the table closest to the back door'
'See you then ;D' he texted back after 5 minutes.

Mai convinced Luke and Jackson to go home without us and she left me alone as I requested. Angie took Michaela to the movies to hang. It's now 7:36pm and I'm getting annoyed.

Another 10 minutes passed, I threw his shirt on the table and let the note saying not to talk to me anymore. I felt the slightest tear burn at the back of my eye. How could he stand me up?

I run out the back and find a group of boys hanging smoking and drinking. I walk up to one and flirtatiously ask for a bottle, he gives me two and watches my butt as I walk away.

I'm walking around the park at night I've already finished 1 bottle and am half way through the second one. My walking is a little everywhere. I hear a fake giggle come out from someone behind me. I turn to see Damien with some random girl clinging to him.

His eyes widen as he realises how drunk I am, with some defensive answer from the girl he sends her off.

"Aww what's up girly did you get stood up?" He asked in a condescending voice.

I only looked down at the ground in response. "Oh, look I didn't mean..."

I cut him off, "You wouldn't understand your the one who cheats, not the one who's cheated on. I seem to be attracted to cheaters and people who lie. I'm doomed to end up cold wet and alone." I nearly tripped and Damien caught me just in time.

I tried to push him away but his lips contacted mine. The alcohol numbed most of my senses so the kiss wasn't as amazing as it probably was, even so it had me on the verge of swooning and fainting.

I kissed back. His hand glided down my waist, he tried to pull me into wrapping my legs around him but I shoved him away, but not before he bit my lip causing it to throb and puff up. I give him a glare and he scoffed and walked away.

I can't see or know where I am. I get out my phone and call Mai.

"Heyyyyyyyy. I'm like really drunk, or at least I think I am. Just made a really bad decision need to talk to you Mai. Could you come and get me cause I think I'm going to pass out. Ohhhhhhh I'm at the park by the way. Boys are dicks. We neeeedeeed to get rid of themmmmsssss."

"I'll be right there." A male voice responded.

"Dude you sound like a mannnn you feeling ok?" The line died.

I sat there for 7 minutes before a car turned up and Luke walked up to me. He grabbed my swaying body and put me over his shoulder.

"Mai told you!? How could sheeeee?!"

"You were the one who called me not Mai." Luke answered calm.

"Oh, well I'm not convinced your Mai yet." Luke just sighed.

10 minutes later he dropped me off at my front door which he unlocks with the keys I tried to use.

He turns and starts to go towards his car, but stops at my words.

"You know sometimes I wonder what would've happened if you let me touch your hair that night... Ha anyway nightyyyy." I wave to his frozen face and lock the door behind me.

Did I just say that?!
