This Is a War Of Its Own [Discontinued]

Chapter 5 - The Arcade [Jo POV]

Oh, how wonderful the morning is....

Except when you get broken up with by text.

You might be wondering, "What happened?" Well, kind sir (or ma'am I don't assume) I will tell you.

It was 10:00 in the morning, usually that's early for me, so I was tired and didn't feel like doing anything.

Until I remembered I had made plans to meet Max today. I invited him to come there so it'd be rude to not show up because "I was tired".

So I got out of bed to get ready and I got a text.

The text was from Evelyn, my girlfriend, reading:

Bae ❤
"Hey babe. i don't think this is going to work out. sorry :( how bout we be friends :D"

That bitch broke up with me by text! But to be honest I knew this wasn't going to work, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

"If anything, it pissed me off!"

"Okay, she was a bitch, forget about her!" Max says.

"Yeah, I know, but-"

"No buts. We should have some fun! We're at the arcade! And the best part is is that they have a bar!"

He got me at bar. I've never been here before, but Max has. I invited him here because I wanted to hang out and find out what's so good about this place.

And I really needed a drink.

We are standing in the entrance right now, so we haven't done anything if you are asking, which you probably aren't.

We go to the front and ask for two cards.

"You're paying," I whisper to Max, "Remember our deal."

"What!" Max whisper shouts.

I give him a small evil grin.

"Fine! You're lucky I brought my wallet, ass!"

He pays and we sit down at a free table. They gave us a small trifold with our names on it to put on the table for if we leave to play arcade games. That way everyone knew this table was taken.

We immediately get up again to order some food. The place is like a mall to be honest. They have pretty well known places inside, so we head to the nearest one.

"Can we have two cheese burgers and some fries please?" says Max.

"Yes sir. This'll take a minute. Also here's this pager to let you know when the food is ready."

"Thank you, ma'am."

We take the pager and head to the arcade room. It's a big room with lights everywhere. It's practically blinding me!

"Let's play some games shall we?" Max offers.

I agree.

...

We have played like half the games when our pager goes off. Our food is finally done!

We head to the place where we got our food and take our orders. It looks delicious! I am starving so anything really looks delicious to me right now.

We sit down at our original tables and start digging in. We, or should I say, Max planned to start the drinking after we eat, which I learned from the internet, it delays getting intoxicated.

And that is exactly what I don't want to do, but what Max says goes I guess.

I scarf it down, and some might say that isn't lady like, but do you think I give a fuck! No! I want to drink!

I am not an alcoholic, I swear...

Anyway, I get up and immediately order drinks from a nearby bar. When I come back, Max is looking at me.

"Really, Jo? Really?" said Max.

"What? After what happened today, I deserve this," I say.

"Fine, fine. Do what you want, I'm not stopping you."

I down the beer. Then I get up and order 3 shots at the bar. The rest of the night was a blurry mess.
