I sat on my bed looking at my hand. It was red and it hurt to move. I used my left hand to pick up the bottle of Hennessy next to my bed sighing before taking a swing. I almost choked as my door swung open.
"Is that Hennessy?" Kaiden said cocking an eyebrow.
"Am I choking?" I coughed
"Don't be like that man." Kaiden said sitting on my desk chair.
"What do you want." I sighed
"Wanted to see how you're doing. Is your hand okay." Kaiden asked looking at my hand.
"I'm fine." I said looking away.
"Listen, Quinten. I-"
My father opened the door interrupting him.
"Quinten. I just got a call from our lawyer saying someone is trying to sue you for assault. You better be lucky we can pay to keep their mouth shut." My father scowled at me before closing the door. I sighed and picked up the bottle of Hennessy taking a swig.
"I better head out just wanted to see how you're doing." Kaiden said standing up. I took another swig of Hennessy before passing the bottle to him. He took a swig and handed it back to me.
"See ya." I yawned.
"See ya." He said walking out my room closing the door behind him. I ended up drinking the whole bottle of Hennessy and passing out on the bathroom floor. I grumbled covering my eyes as the light flicked on.
"Quinten get up. It's 10:14." My father grumbled. "And take a shower before you go to school. You smell like a liquor store."
"Yeah yeah." I yawned standing turning off the light. I stumbled grabbing onto the sink gritting my teeth. I turned on the shower and then turned on the light cursing under my breath from the sharp pain in my head. I slowly undressed and looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't like the person that looked back but it was me so what am I supposed to do about it. We can't change who we are even if we like it or not. I took my shower then stepped out drying off. I groaned as a blunt pain repeatedly knocked at the back of my head. I wrapped a towel around my waist before walking out the bathroom and up to my room. I got dressed and ran down the stairs.
"Dad since I'm late can I take my car?" I asked looked at him as I stood next to the door.
"No you can't use the car I bought you until you stop fighting and being up your grades. Just walk or take the public bus." My father said non-chalantly. I groaned leaving and slamming the door. I walked to school and by the time I got their it was 12:07 pm.
