This War Of Mine 2

Losing Control

I woke up heavy headed, as I trotted down the hall to the delectable aroma of caffeine.
Leo.
Right.
He's been a gentleman.
No.
"Good morning."
"Morning. Did you sleep well?" He asked me whilst handing me the cup of coffee.
"I guess. You?"
"Awesome. Listen, since we don't have a Christmas, I am going to help my friends with theirs. Why don't you get rest and I leave?"
"Okay."
I'd woken up at friggin 9:40 , so delayed. And what am I going to do all alone in the house, in the name of rest?
"Can I tag along?" Words spilled out of my mouth.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded in approval.

LEO
So.
Happenings contrary to what I believed would happen.
Why not?

I thought, she'd stay home and I'll slip away, and stay somewhere else, for she has enough worries already and I don't need to add, but she, she is welcoming all trouble with open hands.
God save her.
~
She walked out in a black maxi, a wise choice I would say.

"Ready?"
"Yes."
I followed her, to the car and we took to my friend's home.

SAMANTHA
His eyes were fixed on the road and I couldn't watch the traffic, I couldn't enjoy the thrill.
Fear creeped into me as I screw my eyes shut and stared into the darkness of my own.
~
The car threw me forward as I hit the dashboard, Leo's forehead on the steering horn. My bloody head, and limp hands were almost dysfunctional as my small voice called out., "Leo. Leo please wake up!!"
His head fell on my lap, the the emergency measures kicked in, blowing into my face, my claustrophobia making me choke on my own breathing as I called out once again, "I can't lose you too. Leo please come ba...,ck"

LEO
Leo, come back..." her small voice cried.
I feel really bad for her, really. She is in pain and has nobody to help her.
"Sam?"
"Samantha, I am here. It's okay. We both are okay."
She startled awake to my call, and grabbed my sleeve.
"Leo, leo what how are you a..,"
"Shh. It was all a stupid nightmare. Look at me."
"Look at me" I said again.
Her eyes looked at mine, filled with fear and phobias of her own.
"We both are okay. Yeah? Do you want me drop you back home?"
"No no,I am coming with you."
"Okay. Now, let's go!"

SAMANTHA
What just happened there?
I don't know.
What am I feeling?
I don't know.
What do I want to do?
I don't know.
Whom do I go to?
I don't know.
Ultimately, I am just an "I don't know" package with extra bullshit.
~
"HEY LEO!!!!! Wazza mate?!" said the guy in blue tee and jean, and a grey beanie.
They did their "handshakes" and the crowd turned to me, all of them exchanging glances of who the hell I am.
The guy whispered into Leo's ear, to his face grimacing to what the guy said.
"No. She is a friend. And I ain't the same Sahas." 

Sahas.
What could've he said??
The others awkwardly moved on with their work which is apparently nothing but drinking in paper cups.

One won't hurt wouldn't it?
~
One became ton and I was high on the couch. I made a few friends, Chikita and Amy who were technically drunkards with no brains.

LEO
Oh lord. I shouldn't have left her here.
High as hell.
Goddamnnnnnn no.
She was "hanging out" with two people one whom I recogonized to be Amy.
(Do not ask me how I know her. Please.)

"Samantha, come on let's...—" She pulled me by my collar and made me sit next to her, her body scented with Whisky.
"How much did you have?"
"I don't know hahaha"
Of course she doesn't.
"Bitch, you took down the bar haha" The other girl groaned.

Oh god. The entire bar??
"Samantha let's get home." I ordered.
She ignored it and held my face between her thumb and index fingers, "What did Sahas whisper to youu hmm??"

She, no no.

"Nothing."
"Asshole. Tell me hm"
"He called you a bitch is all."

The girl whom I didn't know, oh well, is the bitch.
Sahas' ex/One night stand?
"Bitch eh? Come on Leo! We all know what he called her."
Sam's face turned red, "What. did. he. call. me." and pushed her lower lip out.

I found her too cute yet serious at one.

"A.,., pimp."

She looked at me for a second and then stormed up to him.

"YOU FUC*ING JERK HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A PIMP??? YOU JUST CAN'T SEE A PERSON AND DECIDE IT YOU...,"

Phaat!
One tight slap across his face, his ears turning red and fuming.
~

Leo stop it.
It's pleasure watching Sahas get thrashed manh. Calm.
It ain't right. Obey your goddamn brain for once.
Right. Damn.
~
"SAMANTHA GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

SAMANTHA
Someone's hand encircled my waist and pulled me back from that jerk.
Leo's.
~
Sunlight blinded my eye as he pushed me into the car.
He took me somewhere and this time around, I believed him.
~
LEO
"WE THE FU*KING ANIMALS!! TATATANATA"
She screamed in the car to Garrix's tune.
Times when she goes crazy you know? The way her hair sweeps her face stop it Leo.

"Samantha, get dow..-"
She'd dozed off no wonder.
I shook her and she turned to me and gave a sly smile, "Hi."
"Hi. Now get down." I said and shut the car door.
I went to her side expecting her to be out but no.
The sunlight blinded her eye as she stretched her arms out to me.
I smiled to myself and pulled her out, her body crashed with me.

SAMANTHA
I couldn't see a thing other than Leo's face luminated with a cheeky smile.
My body was with his, that smile faded and he pushed me back.
"I can't walk Lee"
Did I just call him Lee?
"Okay" he said, his arms going under my thighs, as my eyes screw shut and I completely tripped on my psych.
