// CHAPTER TEN:: don't mention it//

RAIN poured down heavily and Audrey couldn't help but groan as she tossed in her bed. She was just trying to sleep, even though it was only a couple of hours earlier than she would usually go to sleep. She checked her phone, noticing it was only ten, but also that she didn't get a text back from Campbell. He was supposed to give her some pills today.

Angrily, she stood from her bed and grabbed her blanket and phone before heading downstairs and into the kitchen. She quickly made a bowl of cereal, not acknowledging that it was oddly quiet in the house since her mom is doing work out of town for the weekend. Audrey then grabbed a bag of chips, a pack of cookies and soda before she headed into the living room to watch whatever was on at the time.

Occasionally she would do this, but she would only snack on so much food when she didn't have drugs or when she was on them. Audrey didn't want to believe she was addicted to drugs because she wouldn't see the problem in craving something to get her high everyday. But yeah, at this point, she was an addict.

She checked her phone again. No text.

Audrey let a loud groan escape her as she channel surfed, only to settle with the late night episodes of Friends- the only distraction beside the bowl of Fruit Loops in her lap. She thought of calling Harry, but then she thought of how he might be with Kelly. He was always with Kelly.

Yeah, she didn't mind it sometimes seeing that he had a life of his own, but she missed him on days like this since sitcom 'Friends' was a very temporary distraction for her. Though, as if summoned, the doorbell rang and she furrowed her brows at the door before getting up to answer it. When it rang again, she huffed out and swung the door open to see Harry.

"Harry? What the hell?" She asked him as he stood on her porch.

He was soaked and his hair stuck to his forehead as he smiled, "Sorry, I should've called first," He apologized before pulling a bottle of bourbon from behind his back, "Want to put this to good use? "

She instantly smiled and stepped aside to let him in, "I'll get you some clothes." He nodded and she walked off to her room, where Harry kept his spare clothes. They used to have sleepovers all the time, so Harry thought it was just best to keep some of his clothes at her house and some of hers could be at his. Though, at his place her clothes are hidden in his bottom drawer and out of sight from Kelly.

She was quick to return with his clothes and he chuckled a little bit, "Was I interrupting something?" He motioned over to the snacks that surrounded where she sat on the couch.

She hit his shoulder lightly as he walked to the nearby bathroom to change, "You actually saved me from internal torment especially since my mom is working late."

"Well, that's what best friends are for." He said from the bathroom, before coming with his wet clothes in his hand for her to take.

When she took them, she headed over to her dryer, but glanced over at him, "I thought you'd be spending the night with Kelly."

He huffed out at her statement, "We got into an argument." They always got into an argument.

"Well, that's what best friends are for." She mimicked and he rolled his eyes before taking her seat on the couch, though she shoved him to the next seat. "I hope you know that nothing remotely good is on TV, besides 'Friends'."
