I sighed hanging up the phone. My sister wants me to host her hens party tonight. I got up pulling on my jean and my shoes. I live in. An apartment by myself. So I don't wear pants like who would. I picked up my water bottle that was filled with vodka. I'm an alcoholic. I drink all the time. I'm never sober. I picked up my wallet and phone shoving them into my pockets. I walked out taking a big drink as I fumbled to locked my door. I walked down stairs and out of my apartment building and across the road to the bar. I walked inside and sat down
"Your hear early" mike the bartender said.
"My sister want me to host her hens night before the wedding tomorrow" I said taking the drink he put down. I can't remember what it is but it's strong "what of this again?" I asked
"My own mix. I call it kiss ass." He said. I chuckled
"Anyway. Can I book the bar out tonight for the party" I asked.
"Ok but can you do me a favour?" he asked I looked at him.
"Yeah sure" I said finishing my drink. It was a light bike colour. Was. It's gone now
"I need you to run down to the store and get me a list of drink. The shipment didn't come today and I'm running on empty with alcohol" he said
"Sure" I said taking the list he gave me money and I went down the road to the liquor store
"Good morning Kate" Maddy said happily. I nodded
"Mike wants all this" I said handing her the list. She started getting it all down up and put it in a trolley for me. I yawned taking a drink from my bottle emptying it I walked though the store picking up some whiskey and Rum I walked back paying and then pushed the trolley back to mikes bar drinking my whiskey. I walked in and he looked at me bottle in hand and the trolley.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"No. But it's not good for you to drink till you drop you'll kill your liver" he said
"Probably" I said "I need to go get stuff for the party I'll be back later" I said he nodded. I left my rum there and walked with my whiskey in hand and the trolley filling it with party supplies. I sighed getting the last few stuff and walking to the counter. The lady glared serving me. I sighed paying and leaving. My sister supports me I have a restricted budget for ever week and once that's done mike usually just gives me free drinks cause when I'm sober it's not nice. I yawned again walking into mikes with an empty whiskey bottle. I glared at the bottle putting it in the bin grabbing my rum starting to drink that. I stumbled around the bar hanging up bandanas and randomly calling my sisters friends to be here at 5 I called some like three times. They all know I drink heavy. I picked up my rum it was empty.
"The rums gone" I said to mike. He laughed at me
"Here" he said making me a drink. I took a mouthful of the colour full drink. It knocked me around a bit but yeah.
By the time it was five I was drunk and all of Kathryn's friends were here. She is just walking in now. Her nose screwed up a bit.
"Give me som credit" I said my words slurring. "I was drunk and you only gave me four hours" I said.
"Oh no you did great you just smell like crap" she said. I chuckled
"I'll go have a shower and I'll be back" I said going across the street stumbling up the stairs and into my apartment. I fumbled around with the lock before I tripped in I shut the door and kicked my shoes off going to the bathroom stripping having a warm shower washing my body with strong smelling orange dented body wash then putting clean cloths on going back to the bar with a bottle of rum in my hand. I dripped over a chair. They looked at me
