40- Coffee and Vodka

[5 Seconds of Summer - Youngblood Album]

*Luna's POV*

It was the day before classes started and I couldn't help but feel relieved. Staying inside this apartment was driving me crazy and what made me even crazier was what had happened with Lip last night.

He had sprung on my like a lion with his prey and I didn't know what to make of it. Did I really want to leave everything I had with him? I didn't know but it felt right at the time.

As I lay in my bed, milking the relaxation which would soon drift away once classes start again, Callie appeared at my door with two mugs in her hand.

"Thought you would need this after the night you had" she smiled, handing me the cup of coffee. It felt like a warm hug, something that I needed right now, "so what the fuck happened?"

"Lip showed up saying he missed me" I sighed, "I felt so bad for sending him away like that"

"You sent him away?"

"Relationships are tricky, I don't know if I can even be in one with Lip if I don't even know myself"

Callie took a seat and crossed her legs on the end of my bed. She took a long gulp of coffee before sighing "fuck" and wincing a little.

I rested my head on my hand. Thinking of Lip made me sick to my stomach and I couldn't help but feel regret. Maybe we could have talked through things?

"You did the right thing" she sighed before scrunching up her face a bit more.

I sat up and stared at Callie, holding my hand out for her mug.

"What are you drinking?" I questioned as she handed it to me. Once, I had it, I took a sip and a familiar burning sensation ran down my throat.

The feeling took my by surprise and I began to cough, feeling like my entires stomach would come out. It was a long time since I've tasted that.

"What? It's coffee and vodka" Callie chuckled, snatching it back, "look I'm enjoying myself today, it's like my last day of the break tradition"

"So you have coffee and vodka on the last day of every school break? Like spring? Summer? Christmas?" I stared at her in disbelief.

We laughed until she turned to me with a small, caring smile on her face.

"You're going to be okay right?" She asked.

"Yes, I'll be fine" I replied.

I wasn't quite sure if I meant it but I was at least going to try and get past this.

"Does that mean you'll come to the welcome back party this Friday?"

"We aren't even back yet and the party's already been planned?"

"I know it's almost like people came her to do something other than party" she rolled her eyes playfully as she stood up to walk out the room.

She sauntered away as I threw a pillow at her, missing and hitting the wall.

I chuckled to myself. Coffee and vodka. Maybe I needed some myself.

*Lip's POV*

I was even more drunk after I left Luna's. The feeling of regret I felt had to be washed away with something. And I chose alcohol. Any kind.

Stumbling, I tried to find my way to my dorm. It was close but I had no real sense of direction.

I saw the Economics building and knew I was almost there.

Although, I soon lost my footing and fell onto a car which was parked up near the building.

The alarm began to go off and I quickly became tired of it. The noise was like hearing your alarm in the morning and it waking you from a really deep sleep.

"Shut up" I rolled my eyes, hitting the hood of the car with my hand but, unsurprisingly, it did not listen to me.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. I did not have time for this. My head was hurting and I didn't want this infuriating noise going off.

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." I breathed kicking the car this time with each breath.

When I'm drunk, I have a tendency to flip out when I shouldn't so maybe that's what led me to my next action.

Building up was the anger that had occurred after everything that had happened over the last few weeks and finally being able to take that out on something felt good.

So, once I saw a piece of something on the floor, whether it was a rock or a brick, I picked it up and I used it to smash the drivers seat window of the car.

It felt good like a burst of energy. So I hit it a few more times, on the hood and at the back windows.

I didn't know what had come over me and I really had no idea what I had done. It was like being released from my body and looking down on myself making shit stupid decisions.

My arm began to ache and I soon dropped the rock. That's when it hit me what I had done.

A few people were stood across the street, simply staring. Some were filming on their phones and some were talking on them, probably the police.

I didn't know what to do so I ran. In a straight line when I could but mainly all over the place. I ran until I reached my dorm room and locked the door behind me.

If I wasn't a disappointment to my family in the past, I probably will be now because I am definitely going to get kicked out of college.
