Meant to Be

Chapter 10 - Whiskey

Their clothes were sprawled out all over the floor. They were so into it that neither of them noticed me standing only feet away. I cleared my throat. He broke the kiss, stopped his steady body movement and sighed. When he looked up, his eyes widened. He threw the girl off his lap. She landed on the floor with a loud thud. "Asshole." She muttered before heading to the bathroom that was on the other side of the room. He jumped up, quickly putting his clothes back on. He tried to grab my arm but, I moved it away. "Alice-"

"I don't want to hear it. I honestly don't. I knew you would do this to me. I knew that you were being too nice. I am stupid for falling for it." He looked at me pathetically. "What? You have nothing to say, do you?" I turned and walked out of the room.

"Alice, wait!" I stopped on the stairs. "I'm sorry. I know that I was going to meet you here. Well, I guess we did meet. Just not in the way I hoped. We aren't together yet, not officially. If we were, I wouldn't of had anything to do with her. I want to be with you and only you. I just-" By then, a group of people were all around listening to our conversation.

It was my turn now. "I don't want your apologies, Jake. If you really wanted to be with me, you wouldn't be fucking some girl that you met an hour ago. Listen to yourself. You sound like a fool. I don't want to be with you. Don't follow me Jake. Leave me alone and lose my number." I flipped him off and walked to the kitchen.

They had a bottle of Jack Daniels on the counter, along with tons of other liquor. I poured a shot and downed it. I had two more before walking outside. I wasn't completely telling the truth when I was yelling at Jake. I do want to be with him. But, how could I trust him? I'm probably making a big deal about it, but seriously, if you want to be with someone, be with them. Be only with them. Robert was probably here by now. If only I could find him..

While I was looking for Robert, I heard Jake's voice behind me. I snapped my head around and there he was, a beer in one hand, flowers that I had just seen on the counter in the other. "Jake, I told you to leave me alone and I don't want your fucking flowers!" I took off running again. The tears were finally falling. Just then, someone wrapped their arms around my body. "Let me go!" I scream. They did as I asked. I turned to see who it was. Josh. Of course it was Josh. "Please just leave me alone. I don't want to be bothered."

"Aren't you looking for your friends? They were calling you. I tried calling your name too. I guess you didn't hear me. Sorry for grabbing you. I didn't know how else to get your attention." I smiled and dried my tears.

"Could you take me to my friends please?" He reached for my hand. I took his, only because I was walking a little zig-zagged. They were all standing by the fire. Robert saw and ran straight for me. "What happened?"

"I'd like another drink." I said loudly, because there was a speaker right next to my ear.

Robert repeated himself. "What happened?" He had a bit more of an angry tone this time.

"I really don't want to talk about it now. I want another drink." Robert sighed and walked inside. He came back with the bottle of whiskey. Oh, he knows me so well. "Thanks." I chugged maybe half the bottle. The world looked like it was spinning around me. At least I forgot what I was mad about. Josh noticed how much of the bottle I drank. "Do you need to puke?"

"I'm fine." I slurred. Robert obviously noticed too. "I think it's about time you've had enough." He tried taking the bottle from me. I pulled my arm back and lost my balance, falling to the ground. "Cops!" A deep voice screamed. Someone picked me up, although I'm not sure who. I was too drunk to really see what was going on. I saw flashing lights as I was put into a car. I started freaking out because I honestly had no idea who I was in the car with.
