Burnt Sugar [F.W]

•22•

I woke up with a tap on my shoulder.
"April wake up." It was Finn.
"Uh? We...we arrived?"
"Yeah." He let me get out on my own but I stumbled and fell on the ground.
"Hahaha." I started laughing too weak to stand up.
"April!" Ayla came and held me up.
"I'm okay."
"You're too sleepy let me take you to bed."
"No, I'm fully awake now. I wanna take a walk."
"But it's 1:30 AM. It's dangerous."
"I beg you mom."
"Let's go together then."
"Ay_"
"No excuses! We're going together!"
"Shit."
At that we wandered on the quiet road.
"You...okay?" She asked.
"Yes." No. I'm not. I'm sad again with no reason.
"Are you su_"
"Yes I AM SURE. Mom, can we or at least only me get drunk?"
"You're not okay. What's up with you?"
"I don't wanna talk."
"Okay, we're far enough now, let's go back."
"I wanna walk as far as I can but you seem to show me limitations! Okay, whatever.."
Ayla's phone rang.
/\/
F : Ayla where did you guys go?
A : We went to get some fresh air, we're coming back.
F : At 2 AM?!
A : Geez calm down!
/\/
"Finn's acting like a mad older brother!" She said.
"Ayla we're here, go home."
"You seem like you wanna run away."
"No I just need somethings from the supermarket. I had hoped it was open and it is so..."
"Alright, see you later."
"Bye."

I went inside the supermarket. Yeah I want beer. I took a box of 4 bottles and placed it in-front of the cashier who was...
"Josh?!"
"Yeah? What's up except you buying beer at 2 AM?"
"Nothing I just thought you worked in the mornings."
"No time schedule. It'd be 25 bucks."
I handed him the money and left.
I really wished Ayla had arrived, I didn't want her to see me like this.
I went on my roof. I really expected to see Finn but I didn't so I just opened one of the bottles and gulped half of it.
Then the other half and then the other bottle.
I spotted a mop of dark brown hair.
There he is.
He's beautiful.
And I'm drunk.
He caught me staring at him but he didn't say anything, he just looked back and I eventually looked away.
Ding* I got a text.
•
Joanna : Hey April you awake? What's up with Finn he has been ignoring me. I've called and texted him several times and he's just not answering me.
•
I giggled and wrote...
•
April : Then you probably just have to stop blowing up his phone.
•
I looked back but Finn wasn't there, I heard knocks on my door.
Oh no! I whined.
"Why are you here?" I asked from behind the door.
"Open this thing." He said.
"Why are you here?" I asked again after opening the door.
"Can I have the two bottles of beer?"
"Sure."
He gulped all of the first one and then the second one.
I just sat across the counter watching him.
"You just came for beer?"
"I don't know... yeah?"
"Josh is still in the supermarket if_"
"Enough for tonight, I'm already feeling dizzy."
He leaned in and I did as well. I could smell the alcohol of his breath hitting my skin.

• Finn's POV

I had a greater view of her smooth pale skin.
Her deep brown eyes, her pale pink lips.
She put her index on my lips stopping me.
"We're drunk."
"I... I better go..."
At that I left.
What the hell was I doing?

-Time Skip > Next Morning-

• April's POV

I woke up hearing repeated knocks.
"Ayla?"
"Is Finn here?"
"No, why?"
"He's nowhere to be seen."
"What?"
"He's not picking up!"
"I think we can just wait. Or let me call him, maybe he'll answer."
"Yeah, do it."

/\/
A : Finn! Where are you?!
J : Oh April this is Josh, Finn was wandering in-front of the supermarket drunk last night and I carried him to my place, he's asleep now.
A : Hmph, thanks Josh.
/\/

"Ayla he's fine. He's with Josh."
"Josh who? Supermarket-man?"
"Haha, yeah."
"Alright what should we do today?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it's summer and we shouldn't be wasting our time!"
"Okay so what do you plan on doing?"
"How about going to play-land?!"
"Play-land! Best option ever!"
"Okay get ready and we'll have to wait for curly fry."
"Ok."
I went inside and shoved a handful of cereal down my throat and went to take a shower.
