"I got drugs in my coat, I put love in my coke. Everywhere I go, hoes wanna give me throat. I got mud, I got blow, I get lonely on my own. Tell my plug hit my phone, and your bitch give me dome.
Back to the drugs, pop a pill, fall in love.
With a stripper in the club, I got demons in my mud."

"you didn't call us until 7:00 AM. this is not exactly what we meant by making friends, evelyn."

"maybe you should have specified, then."

my parents rolled their eyes at me, annoyed. i won't lie, i had a bit of what i think is a hangover, and a newly acquired sniffle after sleeping outside with gus and bexey all night.

"can you at least explain to us as to why this happened the way it did?" my father asked, genuinely concerned.

"well, i met some people whom i actually knew of before hand," i started, making it seem as though they were people from school so they wouldn't ask too many questions. it's not like the guys are gonna contact me again, right? so i might as well just.. not make the situation worse. "so it was easy to get along. i just kind of got caught up, i suppose."

"what do you mean by that?" my mother persisted angrily.

"i just lost track of time, i promise." they sighed in sync, and gave each other some look that quickly reminded me of peep and bexey's eye communication. i wondered how i didn't compare the two sooner.

last night was the best night of my life, anxiety and all. there's no way i could ever be ungrateful for any of the things that happened; even down to watching wicca puking his guts up into the neighbors rose bush.

spending the night with peep and bexey in a random kids park and not being woken up until 6:30 AM by a local security guard was something of another world—something so unexplainable but something so lovely.

i would never regret it, as long as i live.

finally my parents were satisfied with my answers and let me return to my room to lay back down, and pass the fuck out. before letting me go completely, they did inform me that i was getting off easy this time because i had never displayed any behavior like this before—and if i wanted to spend the night somewhere else again, i could at least text them and let them know i was okay.

i wasn't sure if that made me feel any better or not, so i decided not to dwell on it.

when i made it up the stairs and into my room, i took out three xanax and swallowed them quickly, then pulled back the covers on my bed and snuggled underneath of them.

almost as soon as my head hit the pillow, i fell right to sleep.

i awoke later at around 5:00 PM, and when i did, i was completely surprised to see my phone blown up with text notifications.

(insert random number here): hey. it's me. peep. i got ur number from tracy.
8:00 AM

i quickly saved the contact into my phone.

peep 🐣: sorry to blow up ur phone but i hope ur ok.
8:15 AM

peep 🐣: tracy told me ur 17.
9:00 AM

peep 🐣: i'm not mad or anything. just text me back when u get these.
10:33 AM

peep 🐣: are u dead or somethin
2:00 PM

peep 🐣: did ur parents strangle you for being out so late. lol
2:02 PM

peep 🐣: rlly hope i'm not creeping u out by sending all these texts, just worried. the guys keep telling me to shut up and stop texting u but i just can't for some reason.
2:24 PM

peep 🐣: should i have the police do a welfare check to make sure ur parents didn't murder u
2:30 PM

peep 🐣: that was just a joke.
2:45 PM

peep 🐣: if ur just sleeping and i'm worried for nothin i'm gonna yodel, osrs.
3:20 PM

peep 🐣: idk why u would be but maybe ur just ignoring me?? if so send me some kind of signal so i can just leave u alone
4:00 PM

peep 🐣: ok i promise this is the last one but i just wanted to tell u i had fun last night.. u are a good person to be around
4:50 PM

i decided not to text him back until i read my other notification.

(insert different random number here): yo, it's bex. i'm not telling you to message gus back, but i am. Lol. he's tweaking for some reason. i tried telling him you're probably just sleeping but he isn't exactly listening. ttyl 👽
4:35 PM

i saved his contact in my phone as 'bexey 👽'

after i exhaled a sigh out of my mouth dramatically, i then suddenly began cracking up; i don't believe i've ever laughed so hard in my life.

i wasn't laughing at their (mainly peep's) concern, but i was at the same time. it was endearing, and i wasn't annoyed whatsoever. it made me feel good knowing that someone was worried about me—and it was kind of strange that peep had sent me more texts than my own parents had after me being out all night with—for all they knew—strangers.

looking at my other messages, i realized they hadn't contacted me at all.

no missed texts from them, no calls, no facebook messages.. wow. i didn't know how to feel about this, so i just decided to text back peep, not wanting to leave him hanging any longer.

(a/n: when you see text messages from evelyn, her name that's saved in the person's phone is different depending on each character. so, it's still evelyn, just a different contact name.)

evie 😩: hey, gus. sorry i didn't text back. i'm alive and well, and no i did not get strangled. they surprisingly took it a lot better than i thought they would have. i've been sleeping basically since i got home this morning and i'm sorry that you were worried for nothing.
sent 5:15

read 5:15

i giggled a little bit when he literally read my message almost three seconds after i had sent it.

peep 🐣: holy fucking shit. UR ALIVE!
