Sarcastic Mister

Chapter 1

As i stare into the crackling fire my mind drifts off and i zone out. A familiar grip brings me back to reality as my boyfriend, Tyler pulls me closer to him asking if im okay. Im honestly anything but okay right now. My closest friend, Leila just told me she has cancer this morning and her clock is ticking. She's in London so we can't even spend her last moments together. She had to move back there when her parents died in a car crash. Her and her twin Jack were the first to attempt conversating with me when i first moved to California from France and couldn't speak a word of English. The Hudson family was a huge part of my life and i loved them all so much and the only surviver is slipping through my fingers...
"Yeah I'm okay." I lie to get him off my case. Tyler's been here for me for about a year now but i can't take it anymore, it's all too much and he's not giving me the support i want, only making things worse. God knows he's trying to do the right thing. And i love him for all his efforts and affection but i just need space. I don't know when im gonna break it to him, he'll be devastated. "You sure? You seem kinda off tonight." You see that's exactly what I'm talking about. "I'm fine." I reply a little more forcefully. His eyes meet mine and they seem flushed with worry.

I feel even worse because I'm starting to fall like a ton of bricks for one of Tyler's closet friends, Axel. I mean damn can you blame me? I look up at him across the fire that everyone's standing around to keep warm. His dark rebellious hair curling over his forehead in waves, his piercing green eyes, that eye brow piercing, and those tattoos, not forgetting the perfect tall body dressed in the sexiest black clothing. He's fucking perfection at its finest. His eyes meet mine and i freeze not breaking the eye contact, he smiles at me, i can tell he's uncomfortable though. Nathan's voice saves us from the awkward situation i was stuck in and i thank him in my head for it. "Come on guys we gonna roll another blunt." His eyes gesture to me and i immediately know i gotta get my things. When it comes to pot, you come to me, been smoking that shit since i was 13. In fact Axel is a pretty heavy stoner too. I get my grinder out my bag and begin the art of making a blunt while talking to my best friend, Jeremy. I lick my perfectly rolled honey flavored blunt and head back to the fire pit. When i return Tyler calls me over with excitement bubbling in his voice. "Don't you know that Leila chicky?" He asks and my heart pumps faster as soon as i hear her name. "Yeah of course i do, why?" I ask trying to sound as casual as possible. "Because Axel here is getting in there y'know." He proudly announces with the biggest smile on his face. At this stage i want to toss both of them in the fire pit but i resist burning them alive and simply say "Good for you." And walk away to Jeremy. "Dude, let's get away from this crowd I'm gonna snap." I tell him and his ocean blue eyes look down to mine and he nods.

We walk out of Nathan's place and onto the dark streets lighten up by street lamps and moonlight and i take a deep breath. I quickly explain what happened to Jeremy. "What the hell is Leila thinking? She's counting down her days yet tryna be with someone in a different country that you happen to like." He scoffs. I sit down and put my head between my hands and feel Jeremy's hand slide on my shoulder as he sits next to me. No matter what happens it's good to know he'll always be here for me. "D'you know what?" "What?" "I got a blunt in my pocket." "What you waiting for girl spark that shit up, you need it."

As i pass him the blunt i realise i have the password to Leila's Instagram account since it used to be mine when Jack gave it to me. I know i won't help but read their chat when i get home. Me and Jeremy decided to walk to the liquor store to get even more shitfaced. And on our way back arms over each other's shoulders swinging a bottle of Jack Daniel's back and forth my heart stops as i see Tyler, Axel and Scott walk towards us. They stop when they reach us. "Aweh we just gonna go to Axel's house to get some booze." Tyler explains before walking away. "What the fuck was that?" I ask Jeremy. He's just as shoock as me. Usually Tyler is so clingy and all over me and now he barely looked at me. Is he seriously pissed that im getting drunk with my best friend after all this shit happening?
