SIX

006 - Stone Cold Sober

After spending half the night with my friends, they got home around six in the morning driving home in the 'Twinkie' as they like to call it.

Me Kiera and Sarah had plans to go shopping and have food, you know just 'girly' stuff. We were kooks after all there's nothing much else we could really do.

I drove my car that was finally out from getting fixed and went to pick up the girls stopping outsides Kiera's house first, i cracked my window so i could shout for her only to hear what i think was Kie getting kicked out her house...

"You wanna be a pogue? go live like a freakin' pogue!" I hear her mom yell from the balcony on back, i see clothes being thrown off the side of the house. Soon after i see Kie picking the clothes that had been thrown out and walking towards my car with tears in her eyes, "go" she rushes me out the drive way so i do.

"what was that about?" i look over to her while she's putting the clothes she had picked up and put in her backpack, "are you ok?"

"it's nothing, i've just been kicked out you know nothing big" she shrugs it off.

"well then we're are you gonna go you can't be homeless kie" i chuckle trying to lighten the mood, looking back i shouldn't have, this was serious.

"John B's or something" she mumbled and I can barely hear her. "No way, you staying at mine until you work things out with them." I rub her knee trying to comfort her keeping my other hand on the wheel. "Are you sure, what about your parents?"

"They're away remember. It's fine, your staying. I don't care what you say!" I hush her with my finger before she could say anything else and pulled up to Sarah's.

"Don't tell Sarah, ok?" she pleads and i nod.

"hey girls woah the tension in here is insane!" Sarah yells as she throws her purse in the back of my car, "everything ok?"

"yea, you ready to go shopping?"

The car trip consisted of a lot of small talk about random shit and me talking more shit about my parents seen as though i haven't heard from them since my dad sent me food money

"So kie what you been up to we haven't spoke in a while everything ok with you"

"ye i'm good, you know the per usual, fighting with my parents, surfing, drinking, smoking weed with Lee, more drink-" She lists but is cut off by a blonde girl "Im sorry with who!" Sarah yells.

"With leanne? you know the one sat next to me.." Kie looks at my with my eyes still on the road but my face was stunned.

"you said you'd stop with that, i thought you did" she sits from her seat so she can see my face, "Lee?" I froze for a second, i know Sarah hates my doing it since what happens last time and shit that's happened 3 years ago but that's in past and i'm ok now, i wish she would get that.

"Sarah i've been doing it again for a while, i'm okay it's fine, see?" i look at her through the mirror letting her examine my face, "I promise." Giving her small smile reassuring her but she slumps back in her chair and looks out the window.

I know Sarah said the tension was high before but this time, you couldn't even cut it with a knife.

~ We went shopping for a while, gossiped, ate, laughed. But Sarah was being very blunt with me, she didn't even speak to me unless i spoke to her, i get where she's coming from after last time, but what can you do? ~

Cleaning the house was the worst idea i've had in a while, there was about twenty plates that needed washing are counter tops to be wiped, i threw on some Mariah carrie and jammed to Christmas music, i know it's not Christmas but nothing beats it. My phone was connected to the speaker so when i heard the music stop i disconnected it and answered my phone.

"Anthony!" i was so happy to hear from my brother, he was in college doing his law degree in Harvard so i haven't seen him in person in about a year, "what's up i haven't heard from you in a while how's Harvard?"

"Hey L, Harvard's amazing" and i wonder why i'm the least favourite, he spoke so proper and was so intelligent, polar opposite, "i miss you"

"i miss you too Tony, when are you visiting?"

"Christmas i think, how's mom and dad?"

"They haven't told you?"

"Told me what?" he pauses "-is everything ok?"

"Ye i'm fine, they left for a business trip that they didn't tell me about but it's fine. i'm fine. all good" i rambled and to be honest i felt like crying. "i'm so sorry Lee i wish i could be there to help you" i could sound how genuinely upset he was, "and to see you. And my friends at home"

"speaking of, Rafes doing good" i paused to hold the phone up to my ear and finish the last part of cleaning "well sort of."

This may be a good time to mention that my brother and Rafe are best friends since they were young, there was only a years age difference so there wasn't a much of a gap.
We caught up on everything grades and crap like that, he was the best brother but fucking boring, sorry, but i love him and i miss him

I heard footsteps rapidly running towards my door "We have an emergency!" Kie yells as she barges into my room and springs onto my bed, "Topper has a kegger and we're not at it!"

Actually worried me for a second but no it's just kie being kie
