a great mess ✔️

SLACK chap.4

-Later that night-

"Reece, can you please help me and go to that pharmacy at the end of the street?" I groaned in my room at my mum's order.

"Reece!" She yelled again from god knows where.

"Coming!" I yelled back, pocketing my phone then walked down the stairs.

"What?"

"Hey honey, can you help me buy some pain killers and dish wash at the pharmacy?"

"Is that all?"

"Yes, thank you, sweetheart"

I grab my car keys quickly and walked towards my car, not bothering to even change neither my sweatpants nor my loose v-neck shirt. I drove the car slowly to the pharmacy, not in the mood for speeding on the road. I spotted the same and oh so familiar blonde mess so I slowed it down even more. I rolled down my window, and tap the honk.

"Hey, where do you want to go?" He squinting his eyes trying to figure out who the hell I am.

"Reece?"

"Yupp, that's me"

"I was gonna head to the pharmacy. Why bother?"

"Hope in, we head to the same place." I unlocked the car and he hopped in hesitantly. The car ride was silent, those don't-know-what-to-say-to-each-other kind of silent.

We arrived at our destination and I parked my car. Both of us got out and walk inside together.

"Thanks for the ride."

"No biggy, it was kinda chilly outside, and you barely wear something warm," I said motioning to his sleeveless t-shirt and ripped skinny. He chuckled quietly then waved at me, walking to the different aisle.

I grab what my mum needs and quickly head to the cashier. I spot the boy again and he was chatting with the cashier. He noticed my presence and smiled a little at me.

"Need another ride home?" I asked putting my things on the table once the cashier was done with his.

"No, I'm good. I need to get something from his house first." He said motioning to the curly hair lad. I read his name tag and it says 'Brad'. Doesn't want to sound noisy, I just nodded my head and pay for my things.

I bid him goodbye and left the pharmacy then drove to the home in speeding mode. Damn, I'm so stupid, I got the chance to actually get his name when we were in the car, and yet my awkward side took over my self-esteem so I didn't have guts to say a thing, stupid Reece, silly self-esteem, dumb brain.

I keep mumbling some cursed words under my breath even when I reach my home. I put the things on the kitchen counter then rushed upstairs to my room.

It was still our days off before the Asia Tour, and I was actually bored to death. I found nothing interesting in Insta or Twitter, so I threw my phone aside, groaning loudly as the boredom slowly drowning me. I closed my eyes, humming softly to a random tune.

"Hey, Reece, are you free?" I opened my eyes and look at Connor with a raised eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Wanna hang out? Just us three, it's been so long."

"Yeah sure, where to though?"

"Sbux then bowling, how's that sound? That's what Haz said a few minutes ago by the way"

"Alright, hang on I'll get my sunglasses then I'll meet you guys in the car" Connor nodded her head then head off of my room.

As I said, I grab my sunglasses then styled my hair a little. I'm not in the mood for making it so I just took a snapback then head out. I saw Connor already sitting on the passenger seat, leaving me with no choice but the backseat, it's not like I'm going to complain.
