Drunk Best Friend

The Game

"Let's start the game now", Austin, a friend of Faith says. Sawyer nods in agreement.
"What game?", my brother asks.
"The impact game.."
"Let me explain.", Sawyer interrupts. "In this game, every boy will give his girl a phone call, and we'll observe the impact he can create on her. Then, he'll summon her to the roof."
"NOW?", Eric nearly scrams. "It's over 1 o'clock now."
Sawyer shrugs. "So what? If your girl is truly dedicated to you, she won't be able to deny your call, right?"

"But..", I add. Kind of feeling myself into this game. "If someone fails to summon his girl, he'll take L, and as for his punishment, he'll get buried, and deserted at the beach tomorrow."
They nod in agreement.
"Sounds like fun. Such man really deserves to die and rot."
"Who'll go first?", Eric asks.
"Lottery?"

👅👅👅

Sawyer takes a piece of folded paper from the floor. He shows it to all, as soon as he opens it. It has his name on it.
"Woo, Sawyer boy.", the guys cheer.
"Okay guys", Sawyer rubs his hands together. "Ooo I'm nervous. Here goes nothing."

He eagerly looks at the TV screen at his girlfriend, who after three rings, picks up the call.
  S: Baby
  K: Hey baby.
  S: Whatcha doin?
  K: Nothing baby. Just taking some pics for Instagram.

The boys nod and give him thumbs up. The girl was actually taking pictures before receiving the call.
  S: Am I disturbing you, baby?
  K: What, baby? Of course not. Shall I go to like another room, for talking?

Everyone raises both of his thumbs. Sawyer smiles like a winner.
  S: Actually, don't tell this to anyone, but, will you meet me at the roof?
  K: What do you mean? Now?

Sawyer's smile fades away.
  S: I mean, yea. Are you coming?
  K: Why at the.. I mean, why there though? Oww.. Oh kay..

She bites her lip, thinking of the possible naughty reason he might be calling her to meet at the roof at this hour.
  S: See you then.
  K: Give me ten minutes babe, I need to change.
  S: No, no. Please. Come ASAP.
  K: You don't understand. I am not dressed..
  S: (In deep voice) Oh I like it that way, baby.
  K: (giggles) okay baby.

"Where are you going?", a girl asks Sawyer's girlfriend when she was about to leave.
"I'm going to the bathroom.", she answers.
Sawyers high fives with the boys and runs upstairs.
"Best of luck", the boys shout. They are all freaking drunk.
"Ssshhh.. Mom will wake up, you guys", Eric whispers.

"Now.. Let's see who's next."
We gather around Austin, who takes another piece of folded paper.
"Wooohooo Adym, my boy. You're up next."
I smile bashfully, while taking my phone and calling her. My hand starts shaking nervously.

"Who is it?" Eric sounds curious.
I just smile again, and let them all see my phone screen.
"Best friend?", "Oh.. Langie!", "I knew it..", "So, langie, huh?", "Langie and Adym, sitting on a tree..", they all start to talk at one.
I put a finger on my lips and weakly say, "Please, you guys...  Hello!"
  L: Hey
  A: Hey Langie
  L: Adym I..
  A: What are you..

I instantly regret interrupting her. What did she try to say? I can't see her face though. It's covered with her silky black hair, since she's laying on her stomach. Langie reaches out her hand for grabbing a pillow. She hugs it and looks up a little. A smile automatically forms on my lips when I see her.
  A: What did you say?
  L: You were asking me something, right?
  A: No, you tell me first.
My brother rolls his eyes, and I smack him on his shoulder. Langie laughs.
  L: I forgot what I was saying. I'll tell you when I can remember it.
A: Okay. I was just asking what were you doing?
L: I was just.. chatting with a guy.
A: What!

I did not expect that. Was she really doing what she told? She was doing something on her phone, for sure. I just couldn't see what's on the screen. I exchange a sad look with the boys. My heart is so broken right now.
My bestie laughs.
  L: Just kidding. You know, I don't have anyone like that.
  A: Langie, you made me..
  L: Made you what?

She knows exactly how she made me feel. She's playing, huh? I'll play with her too. I'll play drunk.
  A: Dizzy.. I wanna puke.
  L: Why? Wait Adym, are you drunk? Why do you sound drunk?
  A: I am not drunk. Well, a little bit, I'll be honest with you.
  L: Not again. You're so stupid. Try to sleep. It'll be fine.
  A: How shall I get down? I am scared.
  L: Get down where?
  A: From the roof. I'm up here. Ya dig!
  L: What da hell!

She sits up. "Is everything fine?", Faith asks her.
  A: Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. Please. They'll laugh.

Langie nods at my sister unwillingly.
  L: When did you get up there? I saw you getting into the room with your brothers.
  A: Oh Langie, stop scolding, and come save me now. I'm so scared to go down.
  L: Okay, wait. I'm coming.
  A: Hurry up, I'll fall down and die if you don't come now.

I rush to the door after a few high fives. I try to make my hair and clothes kinda messy while climbing upstairs.

[Langie's POV]

This boy's gonna kill himself if I don't go right now. I don't have time to change. I take my black robe, throw it on me and slide something in it's pocket.

👅👅👅

I burst open the door of the roof to discover my stupid friend sitting on a bench at one corner.
This roof is under construction. A few walls, the floor and a washroom, that's all has been finished right now. Adym is looking up at the open sky in a goofy way.
I sit down next to him and say, "Why are you sitting at a corner? It's dangerous."
He pulls himself closer to me with a smile. "Now you're here to save me."

No matter how stupid he looks right now, his smile is always cute. It melts my heart like some wax around fire. I smile back and say, "Get up now. We'll try to get down."

"What's the hurry?" He hugs me all of a sudden and buries his head in my shoulder. My robe slides down, revealing the left half of my body in bikini.
