I get outside, those same thoughts as earlier, for some reason I start to get mad.
Divorce, retention, divorce, retention, I start to go crazy when all of the sudden..
Me: "Fu@#"
I punched the brick wall of our school, instantly regretting it.
Me: "Ahhh"
I yell grabbing at my hand.
I walk over to the curb, and sit down, looking at my hand. It instantly turned red with bits of purple.
I feel a tap on my shoulder.
I turn around, it was Charlie.
More thoughts went through my hand, is he gonna beat me up? Make fun of me?
I decide to say something.
Me: "Um, hey"
He has a beer in his hand, granite it has a paper bag over it to somewhat hide it.
Charlie sits down next to me.
Charlie: "What happens to your hand?"
Me: "Oh, I um, punched a wall..."
Charlie: "Yikes"
Me: "Yeah...."
Charlie: "You seem tense, what's up? Girl problems..... oh wait I'm sorry, boy prob-"
Me: "Okay I not doing this"
I say about to get up.
Charlie: "Wait, Wait, I'm serious"
Me: "I don't know, there's some family stuff, and I think Justin's mad at me, I think I'm just stressed"
Charlie: "Stressed Huh..."
I give a small nod.
Charlie: "Here, this will help take off the edge a bit"
He says, handing me his beer.
I hesitate at first, but then decide to take it. I sip it, the cold beer runs down my throat, it felt good.
Charlie: "Hey so, me and a few of the guys are behind the school with a cooler if you wanna come hang for a bit"
Again I hesitate again. I check my phone, nothing from Justin, he'll probably be longer than expected, so I decide to give in.
Me: "Um yeah sure"
Charlie gets up, I follow him. When we get back there he introduces me to a few of his friends, as they hand me another beer.
~ Time jumps a little ~

Alright, I'm like my, let's say 10th beer, and maybe I should have stopped, well 10 beers ago.
My phone keeps buzzing, it was Justin, but I just muted it, then put it back in my pocket, as I sipped another sip of my drink.
~ Time skips like idk 20 minutes ~
Charlie's telling this story about his parents when I feel someone tap on my back.
Justin: "Raegan?!"
Charlie: "Woah, look who came to join the party"
Justin aggressively grabs my hand pulling me away from the small crowd.
Justin: "Raegan what the hell"
Raegan: "What?"
I say sipping my beer. Justin snatches it from me.
Justin: "What are you doing?!?"
Raegan: "Hanging out with people who actually want my company?"
Justin: "What Your? Raegan What are you talking about. I've been texting, looking for you for the last hour and a half."
Me: "Well here I am"
Justin takes a good look at me.
Justin: "You're drunk aren't you"
Me: "I wouldn't say drunk, just maybe a little buzzed"
Justin: "That's it, I'm taking you home"
Me: "Haha no you're not"
I say back to him snatching the beer back about to take a drink, until he takes it back, throwing it on the floor.
Justin: "Raegan what are you doing?"
Me: "Living"
Justin: "What are you talking about"
Me: "You know what's even the point"
Justin looked confused.
Me: "I have to retake my senior year, my parents are getting a divorce, everything's falling apart"
Justin: "What about me, you've always had me"
Me: "Yeah sure I have, you we're probably off kissing Jace or something before you found me weren't you"
Justin: "Raegan..."
