PROLOGUE
"I'm tired of it!"
I'm pacing up and down right now. My 'lover' in front of me with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
"I already told you, Cara, I'm sorry! What else do you expect me to do!"
I stare into his bloodshot eyes for a second. I stop moving. I know what to do now.
"I want you to leave." I mutter under my breath. I hope I'm making the right choice. I know I am.
"And don't come back."
MONDAY, 5th SEPTEMBER: 10:52pm
"I'm rich, I'm rich!" I say, throwing the fake money all around me.
"Oh really? I think your clearly on 'go to jail."
"Ha ha, funny, you really thought you guys could fool me? Well just because I'm ahea- "
"Wow, you're right."
Laughing is heard all around the room. I sit there in shame as I look at all my cheerful friends, then my eyes land on the most beautiful boy in this room right now.
Adam. Yeah he might not be laughing, yes he might be staring at his phone and not participating, but it's what makes him different to everyone else in our friendship group. He finds fun in the most simple things, like decorating for a party or wiping the floor from spilled drinks, as he laughs at his embarrassment . He doesn't enjoy playing board games or things like this, but I just know that as long as I'm happy, he's happy. At least that's what he has always told me.
"That's it, I quit!" I pack away my money that I earned and make my way off the floor and onto the sofa where Adam is sitting.
"Who ya textinggg?" I question as I place kisses on his head, his hair tickling my chin.
He alerts his eyes to me, looking alarmed and puts his phone in his pocket.
"No one important," he looks me in my eyes and plants a peck on my lips. I ignore the weird look he gave me before and snuggle into the side of his chest as my friends below us on the floor cheer and laugh together.
"I won!" Sara stood up, dashing her money across the carpet and posing with the extra she has in her hand.
"I'm not picking those up, you can do that," I warn Sara, gesturing my finger around the room at all the little pieces of money.
"Yeah, whatever." She says as she gives me a rude gesture which I reply with rolling my eyes and scoffing.
Moments after everything is cleaned up, Sara crowds on the sofa with everyone else who was there before, and grabs the remote, flicking through the channels.
"Look! Iron Man, let's watch that! That's our favourite isn't it Adam?" I nudge him a bit and he looks at me.
"Nah, I don't really like spider man, I prefer Iron Man." He laughs, squinting his eyes a bit.
Ricky looks at him then at me. Ricky knows me too well, and I know he'll bring it up if I let this slide.
I look up at him and I move upwards a bit to stare at him. I place a small but passionate kiss on his lips, to see if my inference was correct. I already know what to expect.
The movie begins to play ( half way as we missed most of it).
As we get more into the movie, I can't help but ask the same repetitive question.
"How much have you had to drink Adam?" I whisper it so only he can hear.
"Adam?"
"What!"
We get a couple glares from Reece and Sara but no one else hears.
Just as I'm about to tell him not to worry, a series of 'dings' come through his phone, not only distracting him and I, but everyone who has their eyes glued on to Iron Man.
Then the familiar tune, the classic ringtone.
"You going to put your phone on silent or what?" Reece asks, growing annoyed.
"Nah, I think I'm going to take this."
I wonder if it's the same person he said is not important. But I immediately banish that thought. So he does, he accepts it and gets off the couch and exits the living room, leaving me cold and with an empty space next to me. As it's nothing new, I move over to Florence and lay my head on her lap, continuing to watch tv.
11:53pm
"I'm getting us drinks, then we can watch Iron Man 2," I say, realising how much of Iron Man addicts we all are.
Realising how long Adam has been gone, I walk over to the kitchen, grab some glasses while I'm there, and call his name, I hear no response so I make my way upstairs.
My stairs have soft carpet on them, and don't make much sound when I walk on them, not like they would anyway as I'm extremely light.
I hear muffles and voices so I make my way up to the top of the stairs and I can hear Adam's soft voice, getting excited by the sound of it.
He's in the guest room so, I make me way there slowly, trying to not make any noise as I plan on scaring him so bad!
"Yeah baby, I cant right now, I'm at Cara's."
'Baby?' I repeat lowly, what the fu-
"I love you too!"
"I miss you loads, I'll see what I can do when she finally lets me go." I can hear a sense of impatience in his voice.
I love you?
I can hear him about to exit so I quickly rush down the stairs, dropping a glass as I sprint down, tripping and curse at myself for being so clumsy.
"Cara? What are you doing?"
Fuck.
I get up, trying not to step on any glass.
"I could say the same to you.."
