I swear, all I ever do anymore is watch after these losers.
I shut my phone after the call that had just taken place and groaned.
"Babe!" I called out.
"Uh huh?" My boyfriend asked from the living room.
He had gotten a new game once we returned from visiting Bil and now he was playing it.
I am actually extremely surprised he responded to me. All day he shushed me and promised that each level was his last.
It never was.
"I am borrowing your car. I have to pick up Autumn." I informed, picking up his keys.
"Sure whatever." He mumbled.
His eyes were still glued to the screen and he didn't even say 'I love you" or even a simple 'goodbye.'
I just rolled my eyes and exited his house, making my way to his impossibly red Dodge Charger.
---------------------------------
"What the hell happened to you!?" I yelled, staring at my best friend with horror.
There Autumn stood, reeking of alcohol and drenched in what I assumed to be the same substance. Mascara stained her cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy.
As soon as her eyes landed on me she broke down.
It physically pained me to see someone I cared so much about so hurt.
Suddenly not giving two fucks about it, I pulled her into my arms and hugged the life out of her as she cried.
Her trembling figure left me on the verge of tears myself.
I knew all I could do right now was be there for her and hope she would open up soon.
-------------------------------
Autumn was silent the whole way home. She just sat there and kept her eyes on the road even though she wasn't behind the wheel.
Every so often a song she didn't like would come on and she would quickly change the station.
That's pretty much all.
I knew that Sam would freak out over his leather seats and the new whiskey stains that would forever haunt him.
But at this very moment, it was sisters before misters.
I pulled into the driveway of the suburban home owned by my boyfriend's family and assisted my friend to the door.
She also had a bit of trouble walking in a straight line seeing as she wasn't exactly sober, and I felt really bad watching her stumble around.
"I'm back! Autumn's here too." I called out.
No answer.
Of course he couldn't hear me he had his damn gaming headphones on.
I turned back to my intoxicated guest.
"The spare room is down the hall and to your left. I will be in there with a change of clothes and we can get you fixed up." I informed.
She nodded at me distantly and slowly followed my instructions, making her way to the bedroom.
I paced into the living room to see a not so surprising sight.
I huffed out a breath of annoyance and stomped over to the game console where I unplugged it from the wall.
First mistake.
If looks could kill I would be six feet under.
"Why the fuck did you do that!?" He screamed.
That took me by surprise.
His anger issues definitely haven't been handled.
"I was here to give you an update on how Autumn is. Anyways I-"
Smack!
Silence.
Dead silence.
My jaw practically unhinged as my hand quickly rushed to cover my cheek. It seared with pain and I winced.
I was in such a state of shock that I couldn't even move. I didn't even dare to breathe.
I raised my gaze to meet that of the green-eyed asshole and his look mirrored my own.
"Avalon I-" He started.
Smack!
This time it was Sam that was left reeling.
But wait.
I didn't slap him.
"Fucking touch my best friend again and I will make sure impregnating someone is a skill you won't possess any longer." Autumn seethed from behind me.
Sam just stood there, wide eyed.
It was as if Autumn had sobered up in the moment and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if she did.
She quickly reached for me and grasped my wrist tightly, tugging me towards the exit.
"Wait." She muttered.
She let go of me for a second to turn back to Sam.
"That was far too nice."
She charged up to him and landed a solid kick in his prized possession.
He let out a strangled cry as he fell to the ground, clutching his crotch.
"Thank you, next!" She flipped him off before grabbing my wrist once more and racing me out of that place.

Honestly Autumn just needs more credit because she is a fierce bitch that shouldn't be messed with 😂
Thanks for reading!
