Didn't See It Coming

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen: Glen Coco + vodka = chocolate vodka cookie mix shit cake.

----------------------------

The man at the till looked at me like i were a crazy person as i put vodka and gin on the counter, he looked reasonable enough though even he could tell that this wasn't a good idea.

Maybe giving an excuse would get him to stop guilt tripping me with those dark eyes,
"I'm headed to a party." His features relaxed slightly as he put my drinks in a bag and I left.

I continued my walk but because my luck is just perfect Jordyn spotted me of all the people that could see me with alcohol and cigerettes it had to be Jordyn, the wreckless yet caring friend that would somehow talk me out of this idea that was currently brewing in my mind.

"Aria!" She ran across the road to me, she tucked her hair behind her ear before her smile fell,
"Hey Joe." She gave me a once over,
"Where have you been?" She asked glanced at the liquor,
"At home." She nodded,
"Is it because of Zack?" I sighed, reaching into my pocket pulling out a cigerette and lighting it,
"You smoke?" I shook my head, releasing the smoke into the air,
"No, i used to smoke I'm just going back for a day or two." She nodded before glancing at the liquor,
"So...is vodka also a going back for a day or two thing?" I smirked over at her, taking a puff of the cigarette,
"Nahh, it's a I'm stressed and need a release thing." She nodded clearly not believing my lie.

"I know that this whole Zack situation is really screwing you over but Arianna you have to talk about it, Cam, Supna and even Tyler are worried about you." I rolled my eyes taking in another puff of the cigarette,
"It's not like I'm planning my own suicide Jordyn."

She pouted running a hand through her hair,
"It looks like you are." She sighed,  oh no god please i used to pray a while back i don't deserve what you're about to do to me, have i ever mentioned that Jordyn is doing Psychology? I haven't? Okay then now you know.

"Arianna this is the classic suicide set up, it's leading up to it and the fact that it's being caused by Zack breaking your fr__" i cut her off,
"Zack will come around, i know he will." She smiled lightly,
"Just so you know he isn't looking so sharp, you two need to sort out whatever happened." I took a puff of the cigerette and releasing the smoke,
"We have nothing to sort out, I'm fine and so is he." She sighed pulling up her hoodie,
"I know that i can't convince you but, you know that Thursday is his birthday and I'm letting you know that Saturday is the party, i know he'd be relieved to see you." I brushed some stray hairs behind my ear,taking a puff of the cigarette and releasing  the smoke,
"I'll think about it." She smiled,
"He still cares Arianna, he said just going through something."  She walked away and that was the moment i noticed that i had gotten home.

I entered setting my drinks down in the kitchen, the place was quiet until i focussed on a faint whimper, i walked over to the living room where Anabella sat her legs to her chest and mascara running down her cheeks.

I wanted to ignore it and instead go and complete my overall plan but she looked broken,
"What's wrong with you?" She looked up at me brushing back her tears,
"You don't have to pretend like you care, i know your still mad at me." 

I groaned knowing that my good judgement was fraying, i really wanted to walk away and let her suffer by herself, my head phones would be of good use at this point but she is my sister.

"I'm kinda over the whole i fucked Michael thing." I said sitting next to her, she seemed taken back,
"So now tell me why tour eyes are sweating Anabella." She sniffed,
"I broke up with Cameron." I nodded and i know it's not my place but i started to picture my base ball bat meeting Duncan's face, or rather his knee so he can't play soccer...or maybe both,
"Arianna i know your planning to hit him with your base ball bat like you did to Derek,Jeremy and Tristan but it was my choice."  I nodded,
"Why did you break up with him?" She sighed,
"You know in the movies when the female protagonist gets the guy and he just stays by her side?" I nodded,
"Well i realised that Cameron and i aren't a match and i know that there are countless movies that depict the bad boy and popular girl but I'm not in the breakfast club and in real life Cameron needs freedom not change."

I nodded,
"I want to say i told you so but i think that you figured that out." I said and she smiled at me,
"Yeah you did tell me so..." She sighed,
"I think he's in love with someone else though, like in love in love." She continued,
"What makes you think that?" She blew raspberry wiping her eyes,
"Well, he's been hanging out with this girl and thier perfect together, when he bought her along to a date i knew they liked each other." I pressed my lips into a thin line,
"Well...that's... i don't know what to say...i just know that your stronger than this, sitting on the couch crying isn't your scene." She smiled lightly,
"Yeah like parties aren't your scene." I nodded,
"Sweaty bodies rubbing against one another don't do it for me i guess." She smiled,
"Your right though, i need to do this the Anabella way, with vodka and weed!" I rose an eyebrow and she pouted,
"Okay so...the weed part is yours but vodka and a great movie." I smiled standing.
"Let's watch the king of classics, Mean Girls." She nodded,
"I'll go get the booze!" I shook my head,
"I already have." I smile feeling proud of my earlier decision
we both went to change into our pyjamas and sat down on the couch with two glasses of vodka and a bottle to finish.

----------------half a bottle of vodka later-------------

"You go glen coco!" We both yelled filling our third round,
"I wanna bake a cake." Annie blurted and nodded my mind a bit hazed, i chugged down the vodka in my glass,
"I think we have cake mix." We paused then stood going to the kitchen, she pulled out a bowl and we started whisking the ingredients together, she dumped chocolate chips in and then openned the vodka and poured in a glass, i squinted my eyes,
"Don't we use vodka in the frosting?" She shrugged,
"Try in both." I nodded adding melted eclairs into the mix and mixing then pouring the batter into the cake pan and putting it into the pre heated oven while we made batter and danced randomly.

Annie started a live stream on my instagram,
"We're making vodka cake!" She telled and i rolled my eyes,
"No! It's vodka chocolate cookie mix shit cake!" I'm not even sure how many people watched us mess the kitchen whilst making the batter and frosting that cake.

"It's beautiful." I said setting it on the table and she nodded leaving the live stream,
"Happy break up Anabella." I smiled and we both nodded cutting one slice each and watching mean girls.

The cake was surprisingly good,
"I missed this." Annie sighed,
"Missed what?" She looked over at me,
"I missed my sister." I smiled back,
"I missed you too." We snuggled together finishing the cake  and falling asleep on the couch.
