Rare; Fionn Whitehead

twenty-nine

No new notifications.

Is all that Alice has seen on her phone for the past few hours apart from the occasional social media notifications.

Alice sighs while switching off her phone and wonders why Fionn hasn't messaged her once this whole day. Yes she shouldn't care, he's probably working anyways. But why is it bothering her so much? It usually doesn't.

The sound of her doorbell makes her jump while knocking her out of her thoughts. She makes her way to the front door of her apartment she had picked out with Fionn, her hand wrapping around the door handle while pulling it open.

Courtney stood behind the door with her arms full of bags. Alice quietly laughs as she opens the door wider to let Courtney in.

"How you holding up?" Courtney asks as she walks into Alice's apartment and places down her bags on the kitchen counter.

"I'm alright i guess" Alice replies with a sad tone to her voice.

Courntey turns around to face Alice before walking up to her and pulling her into a tight hug.

"You'll get to see him again soon" Courtney reassures her.

"How am i in love with him this early on in the relationship?" Alice asks, mostly to herself.

"Because it's true love, maybe he's your soulmate, have you ever thought about that?" Courtney states.

"I don't exactly want to think about him right now" Alice replies while letting go of Courtney.

"Why's that?" Courtney asks confusingly.

"I don't know, I'm probably overreacting but he hasn't messaged me at all today. I know he's probably busy but something doesn't feel right" Alice replies with a sigh.

Courtney sighs and they both stand in silence for a few seconds, not knowing what to say.

"Let's get really drunk tonight huh?" Courtney suggests with a smirk on her face.

Alice smirks while nodding before they both head to the alcohol cupboard and get out a bottle of whisky.

They both make their drinks, making sure there's enough alcohol in it.

Alice doesn't usually do this, but she just wants to have fun right now, not have to deal with anything or feel anything.

They both gulp down their drink, while licking the excess from the drink off their lips.

---

After many drinks later, they are both spread across Alice's bed watching some chickflick movie on Netflix. It is currently 11pm and Fionn still hasn't sent a message to Alice.

This thought still bothers Alice almost every minute, making her even more angry.

Why the fuck isn't he messaging me?

He promised me he would message me every fucking day.

Alice struggles to get up from her bed, almost falling over. Alice is clearly more drunk than Courtney, as Alice has been drinking away her feelings for a while now.

"Where you going?" Courtney asks while looking at Alice.

"To get, the bottle offfff whhisssky" Alice replies with a slurred speach.

"Um no you're not, you've had enough for one night. Two nights even" Courtney replies with a slight chuckle.

"Don't tell me what to dooo, I'm getting that bottle" Alice replies and continues walking off to the kitchen.

She arrives back into her bedroom, with the bottle of whisky in her hand. Her lips form around the rim of the bottle, taking a big gulp of whisky.

"Okay Alice this is just going too far now, stop it" Courtney replies sternly.

"Don't tell me what to do!!!" Alice replies raising her voice.

"For fucks sake Ali!!" Courtney yells while getting up and reaching for the bottle.

Alice moves her arm away and gulps down more of the whisky before Courtney grabs hold of the bottle and pulls it out of Alice's hand.

"NO!! THAT'S UNFAIR!! THIS IS ALL UNFAIR!! FUCKING FIONN DOESN'T EVEN CARE ENOUGH ABOUT ME TO SEND ONE, JUST ONE FUCKING MESSAGE TO ME!! WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS OUR RELATIONSHIP!!" Alice yells with tears running down her cheeks.

Courtney sighs and pulls Alice into a hug, making Alice sob into her shoulder.

"Why don't you call him?" Courtney suggests while letting go of Alice.

"I guess i could" Alice replies.

She reaches over to her phone and scrolls through her contacts before clicking on Fionn's number to ring it.

She stands there, completely drunk, not knowing what to say or do while waiting to hear Fionn's voice or the voicemail. With the slight emotions she can still feel, she is nervous. Nervous of what she might hear when Fionn picks up, what he will say.

"Alice??" Fionn says before yawning.

She woke him up. But he couldn't have been sleeping this whole day, he would've at least messaged her once.

"Alice what's up?" Fionn asks.

Alice once again doesn't reply, not knowing what to say.

"Fffuck you, iii ffucking hate you" Alice says out of the blue, slurring her words.

"Alice are you drunk?" Fionn asks after a few seconds of silence between them.

"Why would you care? Yyyou haven't messaged me allll day!" Alice replies, raising her voice.

"Alice what's up with you? What happened?" Fionn asks in concern.

"Hah fuck off!! As if you wouldn't know!! You haven't messaged me all day!! Nothing is up with me!! Stop being such a dick!!" Alice yells through the phone.

Fionn sits against the back of his bed, confused as to what's happening and also nervous for some reason.

"What the fuck Alice!! What the fuck has gotten into you!!" Fionn replies raising his voice.

At this point Fionn was pissed, very pissed. This isn't the Alice he knows. The Alice he knows doesn't just go around getting wasted and then ring him up having a go at him. Okay yes he didn't message her at all today, but he was working... Which she knows, that he's busy...

"Wow Fionn, wow. Don't mind me I'm just going to get even more drunk. Fuck you cunt, honestly, fuck you" Alice says before hanging up and shutting down her phone so that Fionn's calls can't get through.

Courtney doesn't stop Alice as she reaches for the bottle of whisky and gulps it down. At this point Alice doesn't care anymore, she doesn't want to feel anything. Nothing.

a/n; wowow once again long time no update. I'm so sorry, I've just been so busy with school since the new year started 😩
