"Want some more wine?" Aspen asks holding the glass bottle in my direction
"I probably shouldn't but what the hell" I say shrugging as she refill my glass
Today happened to be one of those days. The only thing I wanted to do was stay in my pajamas and drink. Probably wasn't the best idea but it was helping me get through the day.
"What do you wanna watch now?" Aspen asks taking a seat beside me
All day we had been camped out on the couch drinking wine and eating popcorn. Aspen wouldn't let me be alone so she joined me for the day. She was doing any and everything to help me get through this day and I couldn't be more thankful.
"Wanna restart pretty little liars again?" I suggest
"For the fourth time? Yes!" She says agreeing excitedly
I let out a light laugh as she searches through the tv for it. She finally finds it and starts it on episode one.
"Thank you for canceling whatever plans you had today" I tell her
"Of course. I know you've been going through your healing process and it seems like you're doing well so far but on days like today, it's okay to not be okay. I'm your best friend for a reason" she says giving me a side hug
I lean against her as we continue eating our popcorn and watching the show like this is the first time we've ever seen it.
"So, what are we gonna eat for dinner because this popcorn is not doing it for me" she says making a joke
"I was thinking five guys? I could kill for a burger right about now" I tell her yawning
She nods before grabbing her phone. My guess would be to DoorDash our food instead of having to go get it. She wouldn't get far anyways due to the state we are both in. We had finished at least two bottles of wine today and it was starting to show.
"I'll get it!" I yell as someone starts knocking on the door
I throw my blanket off before getting up and heading towards the door. Once it's half way open, Chris and Isabel barges through with their arms crossed.
"Well hello" I say awkwardly
"Why have you guys not been answering your phones?" Chris asks
"I thought we had plans today" Isabel says
"I wasn't really feeling well to hangout" I say giving them an excuse
"You feel fine enough to drink though. What's going on Dylan?" Isabel asks
"It's just not a good day. I'm not really up to being around a lot of people" I say looking down
"Is there a reason why?" Chris asks softly
"None that I wanna talk about" I say getting choked up softly
It goes silent. No one dares to say anything and I refuse to look at them in the eyes. There's another knock on the door, my guess would be the food that Aspen just ordered.
"Thank you" I say with a smile before closing the door
"Dylan" Isabel says
"I know but I just needed the day. I needed a day where I could not be okay without everybody constantly asking if I'm okay or how I'm doing. I also don't want the pity either" I say putting the food on the counter
Good the food. I'm starving" Aspen says walking in the kitchen with her hair wrapped up
I continue to stay silent while passing out our food. Chris and Isabel stand there looking as if they are not sure what to say.
"I think we should get going" Chris says clearing his throat
"Why don't you guys stay? We were just watching pretty little liars and drinking wine" I tell them
"Okay but we have got to order more food. I'm starving"
