16| Sleep or No Sleep?

Luca 🖤

"...what?

"Are you listening? I SAID THAT I'M GOING TO-"

"Ok, I heard you, but we aren't going to my house," he confirmed

"Ok, then I'm sleeping in this car," she warned

"Do you choose when to be drunk?" she shrugged in response.

"Ok, what's Hazel's number?"

"So she can tell you where I live, Mr. Stalker?" she raised an eyebrow such an idiot, Luca thought

"Shortcake, he sighed

"What?" she mumbled. Luca sighed again, contemplating what to do.

"Ok, ok fine but you have to call Hazel or she'll kill me and you," he clarified. Luca gave up on trying to get her home because if Hazel did tell him the address he'd probably have to drag her out of his car.

She rolled her eyes but called her nonetheless. He heard lots of 'are you sure' and 'where are you'. She even video-called her but in the end, she let them go. He rolled his eyes so much that my head was starting to hurt. She told him that she got Carter home but Luca wasn't worried about him. He was sure he wasn't blacked out but he was still going to check on him. He knew how to take of himself, he had to.

Luca put his hand and my face and sighed. What am I going to do with her?

"Ok, we can go to my house but you have to tell me what happened. Tomorrow though, when you're sober." Luca concluded, knowing that he couldn't convince her otherwise anyways.

"Fine," she mumbled shrinking in her seat. She was going to tell him regardless but at least he could hold her to it.

Twenty minutes later they got to Luca's house after Shortcake forced me to get her food. It was some type of veggie-rice bowl thing. She hopped out of the car and walked straight toward the front door

"Wait aren't you gonna get your stuff?" Luca asked from the car. She paused and turned around.

"Oh yea can you hold it for me?" she asked 'nicely'

"Fine."

"Wowwwww," she exclaimed plopping onto the couch after kicking off her monster boots. Luca went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"You need to drink some water," I assured handing her the cup. She sniffed it and proceeded to drink as if she hadn't had water all night, which was probably true.

"Thanks." she sighed laying on her back, closing her eyes. He snapped my fingers in front of her face waking her up.

"You need to eat, I didn't get you this for nothing, But go wash your hands first," he demanded as she groaned.

"Yea, yea whatever," she sat up stretching

"I'm going to the bathroom. Don't break anything," Luca told her when she came back as she glared at him.

Luca went to the bathroom as fast as he could in the dark. Luca wanted to avoid any type of internal questioning while a drunk girl was probably passed out on his couch. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but there was a lot to untangle from tonight. His therapist said that it's alright to need to break down every aspect of the day but Luca disagreed.

When Luca came back she was surprisingly sitting up, crisscrossed on the couch with the bowl in hand. Once she saw Luca she raised her arms.

"Want some?"

He sat beside her and took up the offer. They ended up eating only half of the bowl. Luca put the rest in the fridge and convinced her to get up before she fell asleep.

"Urggg... where are we going?" she groaned waving her arms around.

"To my room."

"I-"

"To sleep." he deadpanned before she could say something weird.

"Ugh fine," she groans getting up

Her eyes were half closed the whole time they were walking. When they got to his room, Luca went to the mirror and she fell onto the bed.

"Your bed is so soft," she assured

"It's alright," Luca responded taking my costume off. She wandered around a little stopping at his pictures.

"Is this your mom?" she asked in awe

"Yea," Luca replied trying not to choke. Normally people didn't ask about his mom. That was probably because no one ever came to his house, and if they did they definitely weren't worried about my family photos.

"I wish my mom..." she mumbled before turning around

They both took their Halloween accessories off. Luca took a shower and finally realized what was happening. Melody, was drunk-ish? In his house, in his room, drunk. Normally situations like this didn't bother him. However, he thought about it so much that he had to get out of the shower in fear the water would get cold. After he was done Melody went to get herself ready asking for an extra toothbrush and such, and even then, Luca was overthinking the whole situation.

"Alright... I'm done." she came out with her face damp and her hair in jumbo twists. She was obviously someone who was ready to go to sleep but somehow, Luca thought, she looked prettier than before. She seemed to be sobering up and was more mellow than before. Luca would definitely use this against her later.

"Here's a blanket," Luca stood up tossing it to her " I'll take the couch." he finished walking towards the navy blue sofa in his room.

"Thanks" Melody responded basically climbing out of the covers as he tried his best not to laugh.

"But I'll take the couch," she confirmed sitting on the sofa. After almost fighting... again Luca let her take the couch. He got stuff and finally turned off the light.

"Ok, goodnight!" Melody beamed in the darkness

"Night," he mumbled unsure if she was even still awake.

Even after he was clearly ready to go to sleep there was no way Luca was falling asleep.

A/N: Hey guys sorry this is so short but I'm gonna try and beef it up (seriously) but this is what my brain is allowing right now. And also what do you guys think about the 3rd person? I'm not sure if I want to use it more or not but I figured I'd just try it out.
