Chapter 2! Again if you find any mistakes pleas tell me. Thanks for the follows, favorites and reviews!
"Very nice to meet you Charlie, Darcy" I said and smiling at each of them before reaching behind to take the drink the bartender had put behind me. Jane saw me drinking and snatched it out of my hand
"Hey!?" I said attracting Charlie and Darcy's attention "give it back."
"No, you can't have alcohol you'll be stumbling around in seconds and I'll have to drag you back to the car" Jane said. I can hold my drink but I haven't been drunk since I lost my leg
"I'll live" I said and reached out and snatched the drink from her. Then I proceeded to drink it, fast.
"See I'm fine" I said looking at her.
"No more" Jane said, I heard a cough to my right and saw Charlie and Darcy standing there looking at us. Well, Charlie was looking at Jane and Darcy was glaring at me.
"Jane" said Charlie "would you like to dance?" he asked obviously looking for a way to change the subject and wanting to be with Jane. I knew that look, it was one of total complete infatuation on his part and by Jane's blush I think she liked him too.
"Sure" she said smiling.
"I'll be hanging out with Charlotte, okay?" I said and then walked off. I turned to Darcy and was about to ask him to join us when he turned on the spot and walked away towards the corner of the room. 'Well that was rude' I thought. I turned around and walked back to Charlotte but I stumbled quite a lot because I was bumped into in the crowded room.
"You look drunk, people will think the army made you a lightweight" said Charlotte. I looked over and saw collection of different glasses.
"Shut up" I said "Jane said I can't have alcohol."
"F**k Jane, you can drink if you want" said Charlotte.
"I promised, she gave me the eyes" I said.
"I'm drink for you, then, sunshine" said Charlotte.
"Oh no, if I can't drink then neither can you." I said "Bartender I'll give you $50 not to give this lady anymore alcohol" I yelled at him, he looked over at me and the money in my hand, walked over and took the $50.
"Lizzie!" moaned/slurred Charlotte "I was going to get drunk."
"You're already drunk" I smirked at her.
"That's the idea" she said looking at me "I need to forget everything, especially Rob" a tear rolled down her cheek I looked over and moved to hug her but she pushed me away.
"It's your fault, you made him join the army" she sent spitefully.
"Charlotte I didn't want this to happen. How could I know that this would happen? He was one of my best friends. I'm mourning his death as well" I started crying and the tears are ruining my makeup and my evening so I rushed to the ladies room. When I walked in I found it was empty and smelt like puke. I washed my face in the sink and looked at myself in the mirror for a minute. Rob had been so full of life. He laughed all time even when we were deployed in Afghanistan. The best thing about him was that no one could change him and he was proud of that. I thought about what you would say to me now. 'Come on, youve already become besotted with the only pretty girl here and I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings"
"Jane is gorgeous but her sister Lizzy is around here somewhere and she's pretty too".
"I don't dance with drunks who can't walk in a straight line, Charlie" said Darcy in a snotty voice.
I needed to share this conversation with someone so I walked back to the bar and shared what he said with Charlotte. By the end she was glaring at Darcy is well.
"Well that was rude even if he didn't know you could hear him?" Charlotte said "Hey Lizzie, he's staring at you"
"What?" I looked over and he was but it was more like glaring. I said so to Charlotte. Just then Jane walked over to us and made us go dance with her on the dance floor. I could feel Darcy's glare following me across the room as I walk/stumbled.
11:50 PM Jane and I went home to her apartment where we both crashed on the couch.
The next morning I was woken by Jane's moan.
"Never let me get dunk again."
"I'm glad I didn't drink. Now I can call you a hypocrite for stopping me drinking a lot."
"I hate you "Jane groaned.
"I make my hangover blend" I said this was a concoction I made in high school when Charlotte was still a lightweight at drinking and I wanted to be a chef. It was basically coffee with spring onions, celery, a cookie and one egg yolk, blended together. It tasted horrible but helps with hangovers a lot.
"I love you" she looked at her phone and said "can you make two extra doses? I asked Charlie, his sister and Darcy over for coffee last night so they're coming in 30 minutes."
I turned around "You did what?" I asked.
"I invited Charlie and Darcy and Charlie sister over for coffee and a hangover blend "Jane said innocently.
I got up and started to walk away "Where are you going?" she asked me slightly alarmed.
"To my room to hide until they leave" I said stiffly.
"No please don't" begged Jane "it'll look weird if it's only me to greet them. What can I do to persuade you?" she asked.
"Three books from dadt support myself.
"Colin I swear if you're here to propose then I will kill you" I yelled.
"N-! i-s ch-" I still couldn't hear so walked over to the balcony and stuck my head out the window looking down. Our apartment is on the third floor and looks out on the street so I can see people at the entrance I looked down and saw two heads at the door.
"Hello" I yelled in the way that was used in the army, the two men looked up and I recognize Charlie and Darcy with big sunglasses on.
"Lizzie, can you let us up "yelled Charlie smiling.
"Sure" I walked back to the intercom to buzz them up. I went to put some music on and socks because my artificial leg made a noise when I put weight on it and my foot was cold. I heard them knocking the door just as the coffee pot was done. I walk to the door and opened it. There they stood, one smiling and one looking blank.
"Come in" I said "you're early. Jane is still in the shower, so you can sit in here or stand with me in the kitchen though I would suggest sitting here. It will make the stuff easier to drink "I smiled grimly.
"Why" asked Charlie just as Darcy said "kitchen" with a look at Charlie that said all too plainly that he didn't want to be here.
"Okay, to the kitchen" I walked over to the kitchen. I took the coffee and put it in the blender when Jane came out of the bathroom and walked in. "Charlie, Darcy, hi "she said.
"Hi Jane" They both said.
