Alone

Ch. 17 : This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We drove to Alex's house and Immediately when he opened the door, I felt my dinner come up again. 

I pushed past him, ran upstairs and barged into the bathroom and puked my lungs out. Before long, I felt Alex come up behind me and pull my hair out of my face and rub my back.

"You okay?" He said in a comforting voice.

"Mmh mhh." I said shaking my head frantically.

I wiped my mouth and leaned back against the bathroom wall. Alex sat back with me and put his arm around my shoulders.

"I'm never getting drunk again." I said, still feeling awful.

"That would be smart." Alex said chuckling.

When he took me home, I had already puked twice. Alex was sitting in his car in my driveway with me.

"Remember, don't talk to your mom, or make contact, tell her that you're tired and that you want to go to bed, cause if she smells that achohol on your breath, she'll ground you for life."

I nodded my head in response. He kissed me on the cheek and I got out of the car.

My mom was sitting on the couch when I got home, It was only two minutes till midnight and I immediatly walked in, passing the couch.

"Hey honey, how was the party?" She said from the couch.

I stopped at the stairs. "Fine, I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight!" I said before walking upstairs.

I got to my room and took off Alex's hoodie which I forgot to return to him. I changed into some sweats and went to sleep.

The next day I woke up with a killer headache, I legit felt like me head was about to fall off my fucking neck.

I took a shower and popped two asprin in my mouth before going downstairs. I was wearing a old faded Pierce the Veil hoodie and my black skinny jeans.

I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. They were having a marathon of The Big Bang Theory all day. I was in heaven.

 It was already 4 in the afternoon, I had spent at least 4 hours of my saturday watching TV. Time well spent.

I heard the doorbell and I sprung up from the couch. "I'll get it mom!" I yelled up the stairs.

I opened the door to a smiling Alex. 

"Hi, beautiful." He said walking up to me and hugging me.

"Hi, yourself." I said kissing him on the lips.

"You wanna hang out?" I asked him.

"Sure. What you watchin?"

"Big Bang Theory. They're having a marathon, wanna join?"

"Awesome. Yeah." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we walked into the living room.

We sat down on the couch and watched TV for at least an hour.

At about five-ish, my mom came downstairs and walked into the kitchen. I leaned my head backwards over the back of the couch to see my mom. "Hey mom."

She looked up and smiled. "Hi, honey."

Alex copied my actions, looking back at my mom. "Hey Ms. Kelly."

"Call me Angela Alex, and hi." She said grabbing a cookie and walking out of the kitchen. She walked to the door and grabbed her purse. 

"Hey, I'm making a trip to the store, you okay alone Nova?"
