How We Are

Chapter 6

I updated and revised the other chapters!

I wrote those when I was like 13 so I am SO sorry for my idiocy.

They aren't much different but they are less vulgar.

From not on the chapters will be more mature and they'll focus on Drew and Carter's relationship (;

But here are the new chapters!

I got out of the shower and walked into the now very clean living room. I guess Wes and Keats left because I walk to see a passed out Drew on the couch holding the nozzle of the vacuum.

What?

“No… Stop.. I don’t want that in my face…” Drew moaned in is sleep.

I tried to contain my laughter as he went on.

“Wes… Get it out of my face… I’m not… I’m not like that..”

I giggled and he tossed and dropped the nozzle. Next thing I know, he’s in a ball growling.

At least I think he’s growling.

“Merrrow”

Nope. He’s a cat now.

I walked  over to the couch and shook his shoulder.

“Drew, get up. Go to your room,” I said.

He seemed to be getting up so I turned away, but I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist.

“No. Stay with me, Can-Can,” he muttered and tugged at my waist.

“Alright,” I replied and he pulled me back full force and I hit my head on the couch.

“Sorry,” he mumbled and then there were light snores behind me. I couldn’t sleep though. It was only 4:30 P.M. and I wanted to watch a cartoon.

I went on Netflix and searched up Mulan. I played the movie and Drew’s eyes shot open.

“You are NOT watching Mulan without me,” he stated.

“Well, technically I’m not without you. You’re right beside me. Now shut up. Mulan’s about to go to the fat match maker,” I said.

He sat straight up.

“You know, I never understood how a fat lady, that could easily pass for a man, match you with someone,” he said, his voice full of curiosity.

“Some people just know how without experience," I stated.

There was a slight pause before his response.

"Whoa, that was deep, man," Drew said.

I laughed.

"But really, Carter-"

Did he just use my full name?

Shits about to get real.

"-about earlier. I just want you to find someone that makes you happy. Someone that can make you laugh as hard as me and the guys do. You know, like those 8 billion times when we're having breakfast and milk comes out of your nose. Or when we're on the couch watching a movie and you laugh so hard you fart and you don't care because you're YOU. And that's another thing, I hope you can be yourself around this future 'Mr. Right' because if he makes one comment or suggestion that you should change, then I promise you when I' m done with him, he'll leave with here without a face," he said, honestly.

I could tell when Drew was being honest. And I could also tell when he was hurt or forcing himself to do something.

I reached over to hug him and he hugged me back.  We stayed like that for a while before we parted.

"I know it must be hard for you to say that, I can tell it is. But don't worry, Drew-bear, you'll find your 'Mrs. Right' and you know I'd do the same for you if she hurts you. I mean, I did that today to 'London-McFake- Tits' back at the café."

"Wait, what?" he asked.

"Oh yeah, after you left, and Wes and Keats went after you, I burst one of the water balloons that she keeps in her bra," I informed him, proudly.

He chuckled at this and patted my back.

"That's my Carter." Drew said smiling.

"Hey, you made me miss it!" I screamed punching him in the back like a child.

"Miss it? Miss what?"

"She just made the fat lady burn her ass Drew! Thanks a lot, you sentimental cow!" I said laughing.

He started laughing, too and I tackled him. I took the broom he was holding on to before and put it in his face.

"Wesley, get it out of my face. Noooo. I'm not like that!," I said in a whining voice.

"What?" he said laughing.

"You talk in your sleep, Chicken Stew!" I said.

"Oh, god. I don't even remember what I was dreaming about. I think it was about ice cream and gummy bears," he said thoughtfully, trying hard to remember.

"Don't worry. I know you're not that way," I told him winking.

"Honey! I'm HOME!!" Wesley said coming in through the door.

"Did you guys have my key? Or did you just leave it unlocked so that Drew could get butt raped while I was in the shower?"

"Don't worry. We had the key, but I  know Drew would have LOVED that." Keats said walking in to the door.

They had groceries in their arms and still had more in the hallway.

"Why did you guys buy so much?" I asked.

"Because we owe you from all of the stuff we did in here and we bought you three gallons of mint chocolate chip ice cream," he stated holding one out to me, which I immediately snatched fro his grasp. I opened it and took a spoon out.

"What? You're just gonna eat it straight from the tub?" Drew asked.

"Wow, you think by now he'd know the answer to that question," I said.

Drew rolled his eyes and the other two chuckled, as I plopped down on the couch ad continued to watch Mulan.
