Fireworks

Part Two

Day one | 3:34AM

"Ah, so you can also cook? That's amazing." Jack commented, basically at this point of time, I really don't think I can remember this tomorrow.

"Few dishes," I nodded, as I took the shot.

"Guys, I think we really need to change locations." Kevin laughed, pointing at the birthday boy who seemed really hyped and still wants to drink.

I probably won't go to sleep since I need to go to the event at 7AM. We're going to organize a Christian Wedding, and here I am still hanging out with these dudes.

"Should we?"

We are now here at the convenience store, thankfully it's opened 24 hours and we can drink outside.

I was really craving for something sweet, or sour. I'm not sure up to this point, but I'm sure I'm craving for something. Ha. Gotchu.

I went inside the store, and Jack followed me inside.

"What are you looking for?" he asked, holding up the bottle of beer.

"No more drinking, I'm hungry." I said, and he chuckled.

"Want to drink Jack Daniels?" I smirked, he just simply smiled at me.

You see it all started there. That smile. That damn smile.

I just searched the store if I could buy something.

I suddenly wanted something hot, like, coffee. While I was trying to get myself some, Jack was really close, like an inch close to me.

And for a moment I just stared at him.

"You already want to sober up?"

"Sort of?" We both laughed.

We went back to our seats. The rest were already sitting there, drinking. I've had enough. I really need to drink responsibly. Actually, I noticed that I haven't really talk to anyone besides him. We really seem to enjoy each other's company.

Later will be blank. I probably will forget about this and move on. After all this is what I do after I talk and meet someone whenever I am drinking. I only care about the alcohol.

"I thought we were drinking? Why do we already have love birds here?" A guy mumbled, Jack and I both laughed.

"Okay okay, let's stop that. Let's just play a game. And who ever loses, drinks the shot. Everyone's playing, no exemptions." Birthday boy said.

"So what are we playing?" Kevin asked.

"You still good? Tell me if you want to go home." Jinro whispered to my ears. I just gave him a thumbs up and nodded.

"'kay, I'll explain how this goes, I am going to drop like a category like something—and ya'll will  give some brands or something that goes with it."

"I'll start!" raising my hands, "Hmmm, make up brands!" I laughed.

"That's cheating! You're the only girl here and you probably know a lot about it!" Kevin said, shaking his head.

"Why would I pick a category in where I'd lose in the first place?"

"Ohhhhhhh" everyone reacted. I wouldn't want to drink anymore though. I can't basically drink whiskey on this matter.

"Sephora," I started, then I whispered make up brands to Jack. We were sort of helping each other the whole game. And we were winning until they came up with parts of a motorcycle, which I do not know a single thing about it except for the side mirror and gears? Sorry, I'm dumb.

"Okay I give up, I'll drink! I should have a price for giving up on you guys." I joked.

"What kind of prize do you want then?" Birthday boy asked.

"Well," I was thinking of something. Like food.

"Do you want it to be Jack? We could give him to you." They all laughed. I just smiled.

At this point, I am already drunk. So you really can't blame me for doing unnecessarily things tonight. I just hope I won't be drunk texting that asshole or anyone. But my phone's dead anyway so I'm good.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked me, looking confused.

"Yeah, I am." I smiled, staring at the glass of whiskey, realizing how much of a wreck I am when it comes to relationships.

I haven't dated anyone after my ex boyfriend dumped me. He left me obviously for another girl. I wasn't really shocked, but of course it was still painful. I was just waiting that time that everything will Jackknifed into pain. It's been a year.

I am all good now, ready to enter another relationship? I guess so. I'm really not sure about it. Sometimes I don't want to engage myself...

There are days I'd rather lie in bed than to say yes to my friends. Just to avoid meeting someone. Because for me it'll always be that cycle. It's because everyone leaves.

"Kaela, why are you in deep thoughts?" Jack asked, and I snapped back into reality. I just gave him a half-smile, telling myself when I wake up later I'd forget everything. This, meeting everyone including him.

I pouted, and took a deep breath. I heard him laugh, while everyone was continuing with the game I glared at him.

"I should've captured that reaction." He smiled. "It's really a shame my phone's dead." I showed him mine, "You're not alone."

"'Kay this is the deal, I'll send you a selfie later with a piece sign." I was confused back there.

"Why would you do that?" I chucked, trying to lean my head on the chair.

"Just because," he said.

"Whatever you say so." I told him, and I wondered, "What's your full name again?"

"You already asked that for the third time," he laughed. "Jack Damien Gomez."

"Okay, noted! I'll add you on facebook, follow you on twitter and instagram." I said, oh gosh I'm really drunk.

"Sure then," I checked the time, and It was already 4:49 in the morning. Wow. Great Job, Kaela.

I just stared at my long nails, thinking of when will I pamper myself again.

"They said I have fingers like a girl's," I looked at his hands, and for some reason I did not know what spirit came inside me and I grabbed his hand, looking at his fingers.

"This will be your last shot!" The birthday boy said, and from that moment on, I don't remember anything anymore.

Hi guys! Are you all enjoying it so far? Now that I've introduced you the characters, what are your thoughts about Kaela? She really is an alcoholic person, isn't she? Well anyways, I decided to make this book as an awareness for Anorexia and Depression. Let's all join Kaela on her journey. Thank you for being here!

Teaser: Will she remember everything when she wakes up? What will Jack do?

Wait for it!
