A Dead Girl

Chapter 13 Something New

Avery's POV

I don't feel much these days, numbness all around. Drinking helps some but my sisters already know about it. What am I gonna do now?

"Hey Jamie" I said somberly.

"Hey babe, what's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"Are you sure"

"Yeah" I tried to shoot him a fake smile but it just came out sad.

"I can tell when something's wrong Avery, you know you can tell me anything"

"I know...it's just, I can't feel much of anything anymore. After mom died everything just went numb"

"I understand, why do you think you feel like this?"

"Since everything with Scarlett and Dad and Mom, I just don't have anything left in me."

"You think a therapist would help?"

"Maybe"

*******************
Scarlett's POV

For once I'm doing pretty good. Well good enough at least.
I can't leave the house for at least another week so that sucks, but I guess their just looking out for me.

"I'm bored as hell"

So I thought why not have a little fun. Amy was downstairs reading so this would be a perfect time to sneak out. I wrote a note to Amy that said I'd be out for a little bit but I'd be back soon.

I made a rope out of bed sheets and put on a hoodie and some sweatpants and headed down. I actually made it.

I started heading towards the train tracks but not to kms, just to get some air. So I headed down there and then I saw Avery's car.

I went down there and saw Avery laying in the ground away from the tracks surrounded by beer vodka and whiskey bottles, I don't even know where she could have got them from.

"Avery!"

"Scar!?!? Hey wat are u doin hear"

Since I came out here for fun I decided to drink a few bottles and got pretty drunk myself

I could tell she was wasted but I didn't have my phone. So I dragged her back up, which was very difficult and decided to put her in her car. And we sat there for what seemed like hours. And I knew Amy was probably worried sick.

Thankfully Avery woke up and we walked to my house.

When we got in we were immediately hit by Amy.

"What the hell you two?!?! You had me so worried!!!"

Avery then passed out on the couch and I had to take all the heat.

"Scarlett look at me!"

"Yeah yeah whatever, stop being so loud"

"Are you drunk too?!?!"

She came up to me and could smell the alcohol on my breath.

"Oh my god I can not believe this, am I the only one that acts like an adult here!?!?!"

"I'm sorry"

"Sigh. Scar what were you thinking?"

"Why you asking me?"

"Oh I'll get to Avery, but I'm talking to you right now"

"Come on it's summer, I needed some air"

"Well you could've said something instead of leaving a vague note"

"You wouldn't have let me leave"
