Moonlight (Lil Xan)

Epilouge

One month later...

"We are going to fuck shit up tonight," Omar yelled.

His words were barely able to make out over the large crowd of people in his small living room apartment, especially with Diego's tongue halfway down my throat. He tasted like many different kinds alcohol, and knowing this was just the beginning of the night, brought some concern but also invigorating excitement to me.

"Ok, lovebirds, go to the bathroom or something. You're hogging the whole couch."

I climbed off of Diego.

"Thanks for ruining the mood," I said to Austin.

"Always a pleasure."

"Shouldn't you be sniffing coke off of some girl's backside?" I teased.

"It's only ten, Sofe. I have plenty of time for that."

Diego and I headed to the bathroom to finish what we started, and by the end of the night he was passed out on the middle of the living room floor.

It was around three, and I listened to the sound of his heavy breathing while helping Omar pick up bottles off the floor.

"How are you these days?" Omar asked.

"I'm ok I guess. Why?"

"Don't know. I feel like we haven't had a chance to talk in a while. I want to make sure you've gotten over everything. You seemed pretty broken a month ago."

"You're right. I was, but I feel settled. At least the most settled you can feel in LA."

"You've really made it. I'll never make a song as popular as you and Diego's."

"Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you."

"Thanks, and you know that's not true."

"Hey. Without you of wouldn't have met him so..."

"The universe has its ways," he said. "And you helped him so much more with his anxiety than I could have. He's so much better now."

"I guess. Honestly, sometimes I feel great about my life, and sometimes I still feel so heartbroken about everything that's happened in the past."

"Hey. Just like acid trips—"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm gonna stop you there, Buddha."

"No let me finish, bitch!"

I laughed. "Ok. Make it short."

"You're gonna go through some bad ones, but the good trips make doing it so worth it. I promise...I think Diego is your good trip."
