I sighed heavily on my way to the Sundae Inn. It was 8:26, so that meant the bar was open, and I really needed some vodka
Earlier today, I got a call from my aunt, telling me that my mother was murdered last night by a jealous co-worker. After she told me
the news, I cried for hours and practically trashed my house.
My mom was my best friend. She helped me with my homework when I was little, she played games with me when no one else would, she encouraged me to do my best, she helped me with boy troubles, and no matter how bad of a day she had at work, she always seemed to have time to talk to me.
I loved her with all my heart, and now she's gone. I opened the big brown double doors, and sat down on in front of the counter.
"Hey Akari," a voice said beside me. I turned my head to see a familiar red-head next to me.
"Hey Owen," I replied, blankly. I didn't know Owen that well. Sure, I passed him sometimes on my way to the mines, but we weren't friends or anything.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked, arching an eyebrow. I sighed and asked Hayden for a large glass of vodka.
"Fine, just...stressed out," I answered. He nodded and took a swig of his cocktail. "So...have you planted this season's crops yet?" I swore and shook my head. Today was Fall 1st, and I still haven't even bought any seeds.
Hayden placed the alcohol in front of me, and I emptied the glass almost immediately. Owen's eyes widened.
"Whoa, girl. Slow down," he said to me, putting his hands up. "I didn't know you drank."
"I don't, usually. But there are some moments in life when you need to sit down and have some scotch. Which I want, by the way. And make it a double" I said, saying the last part to Hayden. I looked at Owen. "So why are you here?"
Owen sighed and drank the rest of his cocktail. "Ramsey's been giving me a hard time at work and Chloe's been getting on
my nerves. Talk about stress."
"I hear ya'," I said, as Hayden put two new drinks in front of us. We clinked our glasses together and took a swig.
"Hey 'yall," Kathy greeted as she walked up to us. I waved and took another sip of my drink. "So Owen," she started,
batting her eyes. "How have you been?"
He shrugged. "Eh. I've been better." Kathy smiled at him and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted when
her dad yelled, "Kathy! Come here for a second!"
She waved and walked away. Owen and I looked at each other, shrugged, and continued to drink our alcohol. Then I got drunk, and I don't remember what happened next.
I woke up the next day with a major headache. I groaned and sat up. I ran my fingers through my hair, when I noticed a diamond ring on my finger. My eyes popped out of my head and my jaw dropped.
Oh my goddess! I'm married? To who? When did I get married? ...What happened last night? I sighed and shook my head, and saw a familiar red-head knocked out beside me out of the corner of my eye. Oh...my...goddess...I'm in trouble.
