We finished our food and Harry got off shift. I decided I'd show them around more, even though it was 8 pm and I had to unpack even more. Harry and Louis were bonding an Sam and I were getting along great.
"did you hear about the club down the road?" Harry nudged me.
"actually, no.. I don't spend my days talking about random stuff, that doesn't even mean the world to me." I said sternly.
"is she always this grouchy?" Louis asked Harry.
"'it must be her time of the month."
"um..no, I just..I'm sorry. it's been a long day. I'd be happy to go waste my college years drinking and clubbing, maybe even going to jail because I underage. maybe getting kicked out of college. yes I'd be more than happy." I said.
"dammit Dayna. what is wrong with you? I remember the fun you.. the one that didn't care about anything and did everything. where is that Dayna at?" Harry asked.
"Harry.." I mumbled,
"I haven't seen you in almost one fucking year an you're going to come back with a damn attitude when I just wanna have fun. And, not to mention, the club is for 16 and over. they don't do drinking on the underage side. it's for anyone." he went on.
"Harry..please.." I said quietly.
"what?" he looks me in the eyes.
"I need to talk to you.. like right now." I said. Louis and Sam were starring at us by now..
he got up and we walked over to the bathroom doors.
I hugged him so tight. I didn't want to let go, but he came to the realization that something was really wrong.
"what happened?" he asked strictly,
"you remember Avery?" he shook his head yes. "he..uh.." a tear rolled down my cheek, and he pulled me in for another hug. "him and his friends were out at a club, similar to that one, and Someone slipped something in his drink. and he.." I cried even more. his shoulder was practically dripping with tears.
"you don't have to go on.." he whispered into my ear.
"but I need to.." I tried to explain but my voice cracked. "he came home a few hours later, complaining of a headache and mom sent him to bed, not knowing what was actual wrong. She gave him a few ibuprofen and he laid down.. and in the morning, he didn't get up.."
"Dayna. I'm sorry. Im really sorry for going off.. I just." his voice cracked a little, and I noticed he was tearing up.
"Harry don't cry. please don't." I tried to tell him.
Sam and Louis walked over to us and we had a group hug. I'm so glad I had these people by my side. even though I only knew 1 of them, it still meant the world to me.
"listen, I lost my younger sister when she was 2.. in a car wreck. I think about her still to this day. she would be 11 now.." Sam says.
"Avery was 15. he was the captain in the football team, a great brother, he listened to everyone and had so many scholarships waiting for him... when it first happened, I went in his room that night, and I asked him if he was okay. and he said yes. but I knew something was going to happen. I just had the feeling..ya know?" they all nodded their head in agreement. "a few days after his funeral, mom and dad split up.. he was the one thing keeping our family together..and he was gone. And dad told me he didn't want to see me anymore, or mom. so he packed his things, and left. That night, I slept in Av's bed. I actually didn't sleep. I just laird there, looking at the ceiling, thinking to my self. The thing is, nobody really knows what was put in his drink...he was just there a few minutes ago, and then suddenly disappears." I told them.
