"Hey" my brother says to me later that same morning. "Hi" I state in a monotone voice. "What is the matter?" He asks as he pops toast in the toaster turning to me.
I shrug and swish my soggy cereal in the bowl.
"I know there is something wrong. Wanna tell me?" He asks leaning against the counter.
"Who did you sell moms private beach too?" I ask looking at him with dull. Pale, blue eyes.
"Some guy named Erick letterman? I think, why?" He raises an eyebrow cradling his coffee in his hands.
"Oh no reason." I grab my bowl standing up and walking to the dishwasher where I lay the bowl of uneaten food into the dishwasher.
"Well I gotta work do you think you can run a few errands for me?" He asks
I lean against the counter. "Alright, you got a list?"
"Yeah, here" he folds me a crinkled piece of paper.
"Alright will do." I shove it in my jean pocket.
He walks over to me kissing my forehead and giving me a large bear hug before walking out the door. I walk upstairs.
I walk to my bathroom brushing my teeth and hair.
Once I am done I walk into my bedroom and to my dresser I switch my shirt for a dark purple crop top that shows off my fresh tattoo.
I walk out of my room and down the soft carpeted stairs.
Once I get to the end of the stairs i grab my car keys and phone shoving it into my purse along with my wallet.
I grasp the metal handle that is cold to the touch before pulling on it. I open the door walking out of it and closing it shut behind me.
I walk down the walk way the wind blowing on my bare tattoo.
I walk to my car opening it and hopping in before pulling out of the drive way.
I then drive down the long street till I get to the left turn that i take.
I then pull into the parking lot where I then get out of the car.
I walk up to the store door opening it and walking into it.
I grab a metal cart.
I pull the list out of me jeans looking at the list.
Bread
Milk
Something sugary
Eggs
Hamburger meat
Spaghetti sauce.
Bananas
Strawberries.I glance at all isles making a left on the isle that says 'Bread, Baking mix, '
I walk into the isle grabbing cupcake mix, bread, and some cupcake tins with little cupcake cups.
I then walk out of the isle going slowly around the store Grabbing the items on the list.
When I get to the check out my phone rings. I press that answer button.
"Hello?" I say as I press the phone to my ear.
"Hey how come you weren't at the party?"
"Oh sorry my brother totally banned me from it"
"Aweee that sucks girl!! Can you sneak out and go to the party tonight!!!???"
"Um I can ask him but I doubt he will say yes."
"Girlllll. Fineeee but if you can text me k?"
"Yeah I will talk to you later, bye hoe."
I hang up and walk to the check out isle with my items.
I then take my items to my car before hopping in.
I decide to take a detour.
I pull out of the supermarket parking lot and speeding down the street.
I take a sharp right before continuing on.
Once I get to my destination I yank my keys out of the ignition and open the door getting out.
I smirk and walk towards the door to the house.
It's a blue house with navy blue shingles and a high roof as well. It has a stone walk way and a white door.
I knock on the door the sound soft and the feeling on my knuckles hard.
I feel the door click before it is opened. I look up to look at Lucas. I look at his face his eyes blue with speckles of brown in them. His hair is a dark brown, almost black color. He has a strong jaw and has a 5 o'clock shadow that fits his look perfectly.
He's wearing a crisp white T-shirt, that you can see his fit body under it and dark wash blue jeans.
"Hi." He states blinking a few times before looking at me confused.
"Hi, I just thought I would come here and talk to you." I say gently it almost a whisper.
"But you haven't talked to me until the.... " he trails off looking at my eyes to see how I would gauge it. "Accident" I finish for him clearing my throat. He smirks.
"So are you saying I am not welcome??" I ask avoiding his gaze.
"No! Come on in! I am just confused as to why after months of not talking to me you finally decided to come and talk to me." He shrugs and runs a hand through the messy mop on his face.
"Well I..." I trail off glancing up at him. "I need you Lucas." Tears shine in my eyes like a star shines in the night sky.
He instantly comes closer to me wrapping his arm around me and hugging me tightly to him.
"I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you." Lucas says frowning. I sigh in relief snuggling myself deeper into Lucas's arms.
"It's okay I haven't exactly been talking to you ya know." He kisses my forehead.
"What's been going on? What's the matter?" He asks rubbing my arms.
"I've been having nightmares and I keep seeing the accident in my head. And the thoughts in my head. They could drown someone."
"Well I have something that can help with that, but you might not like it but it could help." He offers.
"What ever it is." I say completely meaning it.
"It is alcohol."
My body freeze and I think for a second. "You don't have to." He says rubbing my arms. I nod. "I know but I want to if it will help her all these feelings away."
He nods and grabs my hand leading me up to his room, setting me on his bed.
Her rummages through his drawers for a second before he comes up with a bottle of jack daniels.
He takes some pouring it into two different glasses. "Want me to teach you how?" He asks looking at me.
I laugh nervously. "I didn't even know you had this." He smirks. "Not everything you see is correct. "I know" I lean forward taking a deep breath before taking a big sip of the jack daniels alcohol.
I feel as if me and Lucas are the only ones in the world. He gulps some down too before looking up at me. We both laugh at each other. I end laying back on his bed flying high as I soar through the sky.
He grabs my hand and puts a little more liquid in it. I drink that down and wait for the burn in my throat to calm down.
He leans forward and I lean forward and suddenly we are kissing. Something we have never done before. I mean I may have had small feelings for him but I never felt this high. I mean this is really cloud nine.
Sometime later that night I am still buzzed from the drugs as I drive home.
I carry in the groceries setting them on the table. "Hey." I hear my brothers soft voice say from behind me. I bite my lip hoping he can't see I am still buzzed from the alcohol. "Hey." I turn around not looking at his so he can't see the look on my face. "Thanks." Is all he says.
"Yeah no problem." I quickly rush upstairs and flop on my bed instantly falling asleep.
