"Erm,I think I have to go to the washroom." Sylvia said and went away leaving us alone.

"3 Virgin Coladas,Thank you." Ron replied to the waiter who was waiting for our order.

"Ron,what is wrong with you?" I whispered

"Chill, I have my card."

That was great news but I felt awkward by the fact that someone K had recently known was paying for my drink.I'm definitely returning him his money back but right now,I have no choice.

"Oh gosh,Virgin Colada? Y'all have a boring taste when it comes to drinks." Sonia continued her unnecessary comments

"We are not boring,we are just careful when it comes to alcohol.We don't want to end up drunk." I replied

"Looks like you are not used to drinking if you expect to get drunk so quickly." Sonia added

"She can choose to not drink.The choice is all hers." Curtis defended me which was very gentleman from his part.

Finally,Sylvia came back and was shocked to see a glass of virgin colada on the table.

"Who paid for the drinks?"she asked slowly

"Your bestfriend."

For like half an hour,Ron,Sylvia and I talked a lot about university and assignments while the other group did not bother talk to us since they were busy in their own different conversation.I even eve dropped sometimes but all they were talking seemed to be either related to wealth or expensive wants.Aaron seemed to be the only one who was not really participating in the conversation.He was busy drinking and eventually vanished for sometimes while we were talking and having snacks.

"I need to go to the washroom." I informed Ron and Sylvia as I got up of the sofa and made my way.

I could hear someone coughing loudly on the other side of the wall.
After sometimes,Aaron came out sloshed and unsteady.

"What is wrong with you"

I brought him inside the ladies washroom where I washed his face, wiped it after he threw up for like five times then brought him in a quiet place.

"You know that alcohol is dangerous like poison then why do you drink to an extent that you can't even stand properly?"

"Are you - -crazy? Tequila is the best thing ever,the reason why I don't end things."

"End things? Life is beautiful boy."

He took a long deep breath before answering.I could see how he was smiling to himself.
"Life used to be beautiful but now it is just boring."

"Why?"

"The flavor of my life is gone.
Life is like an empty fridge now."

"Who left you?"

"I had to give my mom chocolates,I could not.Find her and give her my chocolates please.Or else they will melt."

He leaned on my chest unsteadily.

"Aaron wake up,we need to go now."
