Need A Stack

Chapter 20: Alvin and Juliet.

"the way I see it,if you want the rainbow,you gotta put up with the rain" - Dolly Parton.

I kept staring at the wall after I'd taken several shots of tequila. My mind was so blank. I didn't know what to even think about. I didn't figure out what has been disturbing me lately and I wasn't in any position to find that out. I felt so much at peace as I rested on the ground feeling so lazy. Meanwhile I'd placed the small tumbler away and have been drinking from the bottle. It felt so nice having Alvin around as I got drunk. I chuckled at everything he said even if I didn't hear a thing.

"Do you have any idea about someone called Alecio?" Alvin asked later when I was still in my lucid dreams.

"Haha,,, Alicia yeah...she's my best friend." I said lazily not believing at any costs that I said she's my best friend. I didn't care anyway...I felt good and nothing seemed to worry me at this moment.

"Oow a friend...wow.... I think I overheard her talk to Juliet last night on the phone about. .."

"Come on Alvin." My voice couldn't hide the strain..."she's her best friend too ..they talk and that's healthy anyway." I faced Alvin who had dumped himself beside me but had already stopped drinking after I over took the bottle. He didn't look so drunk ..he must be a pro...cause as far as I can remember he had served himself more than thrice in the tumbler which was even bigger than mine....he had underrated me in the beginning smh!

"I know but..."

"Sshhhh" I held his lips on each other and stopped him from going on. I knew Alicia was a good girl... despite her having ignored me for over two months now....I must have no doubts that they even be saying a word about me.

I smiled at Alvin's confused look and stood up. He rised up faster so as to help me stabilise. I thought I could but my legs were so dumb and slow....I could have fallen with a thumb if it wasn't for him.

"Hihi" I giggled when I noticed it wasn't that easy as I thought.

"So where to.?"

"Sleep." I smiled broadly as if there was anything to smile at.

Alvin held me gently and led me to my bed.i threw myself and felt so lazy to cover myself. I kept staring at Alvin who was so busy attending to me. I don't know but I felt he really wanted me to sleep before I could cause a scene. It was at 1pm and I was acting so stupid.

Good luck. Mom wasn't around.

"Goodnight Alvin." I pressed an eye and sent him a flying kiss. He looked so in need of the real kiss and I watched his lips unfold themselves looking so fresh.

This time I giggled loudly and faced the other side..

"Sleep well Amanda." He left before he could sin.

I grabbed my phone and checked the time. It was 4pm. Oh my God did I just black out. My head hurts the moment I woke up. I really needed some pills. The pain was unbearable. Really now!I mean this wasn't the first time I got drunk..like...

I felt a lot of pain in my joints when I tried rushing off my bed. I needed to take it slow. I went to the mirror and looked at my drowned face. It was so pale and had drained blood to my chest. Do I need to sit upside down to bring it all back?

I was heading to the bathroom when I caught a glimpse of Alvin and Juliet in the backyard. What were they doing there alone?

I peeped through the window much closer incase that would help. They didn't seem to be having a good talk. Juliet was talking while throwing his fingers up when Alvin was just standing and looked like he was trying to beg on something.
