It was almost dark when Alec and I drove along the coastline from Santa Monica to Malibu Beach. I was amazed that he asked me to drive, but I think that he just wanted to text Abby. I tried to clear my mind of everything that was related to Jay and last night, so as I drove, I looked at the ocean.
We were heading to another party again, but this time Alec would give a performance. This was a big deal for him. At least, that was what he said to me when he asked me if I wanted to come along with him.
Alec's tall, muscular body dominated the car's leather interior. I glanced at him and noticed that he was all spread out, long legs and body everywhere. Guys sat sometimes so weird.
I wondered if he would talk this time about what happened at the party where Jay and I found him drunk and stoned. 'Alec?' I say and break through the silence. 'I really want to talk to you.'
He puts his phone away, 'okay.' He waits for me to continue, so I clear my throat, not knowing how to ask this. 'Please say to me that you're not addicted again, that night at the party–' But he interrupts me before I can finish my sentence. 'I'm not addicted Reighley, I swear to you. I know what you saw and what you think, but it wasn't some drug that I took. It were the medicines that made me look stoned.'
Wait, what? Medicines?
'How do you mean?'
'I take antidepressants Reighley.' I didn't know what to say or how to react, so I just waited for him to go on. 'And I know I shouldn't have taken it with alcohol, I guess everyone makes mistakes.' He laughs about it, but I don't find it funny at all. 'This life, being a celebrity, a famous DJ... It's not easy Reighley, it does something with you, changes you. In a good way, but also in a bad one. I hang out with the wrong people, did awful things. When I realized what I had become, I fell into this dark hole and I couldn't get out on my own. For a long time I needed those medicine, and then you came back into my life again.'
He smiles and this time I do too. 'I guess all I needed was my little sister, my family.' He took my hand and gave it a squeeze. 'Thank you for that Reighley.' I feel tears burning in my eyes.
'I... I w-was so afraid you were addicted again, I'm so sorry Alec, I should have trusted you.' He shrugs and I know everything is okay again, that he forgives me for it. 'Now I want to ask you something.' He says and when I see the look on his face, I know what he's going to ask me.
'I don't want to talk about yesterday!' I groan.
Alec smirks and I roll my eyes, 'I'm serious!'
'You have to tell me what happened Reighley, you can't play with two of my best friends like that. It isn't fair.'
Oh. My. God. I couldn't believe that he really thought that I was playing with them, why was everyone thinking that? Like this was some game to me, which wasn't the case at all. I was just trying to protect myself after the whole breakup with Adam. Did that sound like a game? Not to me. I grinded my teeth and didn't answer my brothers question.
'Besides that, I invited both of them to this party, you better be nice.' He tells me and my eyes go wide, is he lunatic or something? The anger and frustration I felt earlier today returns and my first reaction is to turn around and go back home. I want to scream and yell to Alec because he invited them.
But he couldn't have known. Of course he guessed something, and this was probably his way of helping me solve things. Boys... If I had a sister I wouldn't even be in this situation.
'Why do you think that I wouldn't be nice?' I shouldn't have asked. He starts laughing, 'because I know you sis, I know how you look at them and I know that you're making them go crazy.' That wasn't true!
'Admit it Reighley, you know exactly what you're doing with them.'
Yes Reighley, ADMIT IT!!! She's so stubborn sometimes... And Alec is not an addict, OMG that's a relieve isn't it? Let me know what you think about this chapter and don't forget to share it on the socials! XOXO
