Disposable Teenagers

Chapter 27: This Mirror Isn't The Big Enough For The Both Of Us

Shannon POV:

"Okay, see you tomorrow then?" Spoke Lewis as he hung up the phone, sliding it into his pocket quickly.

"Who's that?" I asked. The last couple of weeks Lewis hasn't been off his mobile - that's all he ever seems to do when he's not at work.

"Oh, just Lizzy. We are going round her's tomorrow night."

"Oh... Okay". I like Lizzy, don't get me wrong, but that's all we ever seem to do: go round her apartment only to get drunk and high which will result in passing out then next week, we will do the same again.

What a life! Not really...

**************************************************

*Friday night at Lizzy's*

Cracking open another can of Monster, Lewis and Lizzy was deep into a conversation about work as I was sat there.

Alone.

The pair of them were already drunk, especially Lewis - he was the worst. Usually, he drinks lots but slowly but tonight, Lizzy was basically pouring it down his throat. I'm not happy about how close they are getting.

Sipping the drink slowly, I tried to concentrate on anything but my boyfriend and the girl sat next to him. I turned up the music. Fake Your Death, the greatest hits album from My Chemical Romance, was playing.

I love this band so much and so does Lewis. I remember the day they broke up; I was sat in drama behind the huge curtain, crying. I even left school early I was in such a state!

"What you doing Shannon?" Asked Lewis as I wandered through the rooms, restless.

"Nuthin' really. Just bored" I shrugged. That's the truth, I was bored. Bored out of my mind!

"Awh well how about we-" Lewis started before Lizzy rudely cut him off.

"You shouldn't be so grumpy, sitting there by yourself. You could have joined in the conversation. Then you wouldn't be so bored. God, I let you come in here to sit and chill with us and this is the thanks you give me" she practically shouted at me while Lewis sat there basically motionless.

"I tried to talk but you wouldn't allow me too" I harshly replied.

"Not my fault" Lizzy shrugged.

"Clearly is" I mumbled in response.

"Join in then!" She lowed her eyebrows, "well..."

"What the fuck I'm I suppose to say to that!"

"I don't know, do I?" Yelled Lizzy.

"You're the one who said it" I tried to keep calm but inside I was boiling - ready to blow!

"We was talking about work"

"That's nice" I spoke sarcastically.

"And food"

"That's nice" I repeated.

"Look, if you don't want to be here, then fuck off!"

"Maybe I will." I said with my smile turning to a frown. Tears threatened to fall but I didn't allow them to. Not now, not here.

"See you then" grabbing my jacket, I stormed out the apartment block onto the streets on a cold, dark night.

Alone.
