Reminiscence

Chapter 31

Liam's Pov- I wake up to my phone vibrating. I raise my head up and take in the whole scene in front of me. Cigarette butts, old beer bottles, and open books that I have dared to touch, and a baggy of white substance that sits on desk.

Avril's name pops up and I swipe it. "Hello?." "Hey, liam what's up?." I run a hand through my hair. "Oh I don't know what don't you get called at 2 in the morning to be woken up and tell me how it feels." I say.

"Liam what in the hell is going on with you?. It's 12 at noon." I look over at the clock and see that it's 12 at noon. "I called to tell you that I am engaged." She says excitedly.

I open a pack of cigarettes and light one, take a puff, and set down in the ashtray and then run a hand through my greasy hair. "Well congratulations." I say my mouth waters as I catch a glimpse of the white substance. "That's it?." She says. I roll my eyes.

"Avril, so let me get this straight you want me to bow down and hail you because you ran off to hollywood and became famous and forgot your whole family in Maine. You get fucked by a Fassbender he pops a ring on the finger and not out of love no sweetheart it's because he couldn't handle not being able to tap that ass?." I say.

I smell something horrid and realize it's me. I take a whiff of my sweater. I almost gag. Oh hell how long have I had this on? Who knows. "Liam what's up with you? We were so close and told each other everything and now I call you to tell you I am becoming a Fassbender in the near future  and all you say is 'Well congratulations' then you pine away shit that I never imagined would come through your mouth."

I almost could picture her doing air quotes.  Instead of saying something I will regret I say. "Goodbye." "liam don't you dare hang up on me!. I will have no choice but to-." "To call mom and dad shiiiiiit what's new Av?." I could hear the hurt in her voice.

"Avril,you have no room to talk. Since the day you were conceived Mom and dad had made you the favorite, the baby,

what do Mallory and I get?.

Nothing we get pure shit!." "liam, You know that's not true." Avril whimpers I know tears were probably pouring at this point.

"This isn't hollywood sweets so when you grow the fuck up then give me a buzz okay? Now goodbye Avril." I hang up. At this point I hear a knock on my door. I get up and go over to it. I open it to find Roseallie. Her breath hitches. "Liam?."  "The one and only." I say moving out of the way so she can come into my dorm. I close the door and cross my arms.

"So did you come to lecture me too? Or-.?" "No, I came to check on you your parents have been trying to call you, you've missed many days of class, your professors are worried, your sisters, me." She states. She leans up into me and kisses me.

She immediately wrinkles her nose up and pulls away. "Take a shower liam you smell of boos." She says. "You want some water?." I ask.

"Sure."  She then walks over and grabs the baggy of white substance. She comes over to the miniature kitchen. "What the hell is this?." I turn with her glass of water. "Uhhh." "You're a junkie now? When were you going to tell me this?." She asks. "Look Roseallie classes were getting harder and I hate asking for help I like my independence. So I turned to drugs beacuse I never have to worry about failing them or disappointing them." I cry start crying. She picks up her purse.

"I can't...I can't do this." She says she walks toward the front door hand on knob when I tug at her. "Roseallie please?." She turns and I immediately crash my lips into hers pushing her against the wall. She pushes her hips against mine moaning in the process. She then pulls away flipping like a switch.

"Liam, we can't do this sticking your penis in me won't change a thing." She pulls herself off the wall and walks out toward the door.

She slams it with tears in her eyes. I punch the door a few times before opening a bottle of beer and taking my last baggy of white substance. Before long my vision begins to blacken around the edges.

I hear footsteps and look up to see a young version of Avril holding a teddy bear. "What...what are you doing here?." I say taking a sip of beer before sliding down the wall and coughing my lungs burn and blood comes up on my hand as I try to get it from splattering onto her or her clothes. She takes her tiny hand and places it within my large one.

"You can't leave me now liam we are suppose to be a team." I kiss the top of her forehead. "I won't." I say reassuringly. Coughing up more. My eyes roll to the back of my head and I slump over against the floor and black out.
