Drabble 2: Nobody Drinks Alone
She knocked on the door first, to make sure Orihime and Hitsugaya weren't around. When no one answered, she sighed in relief as she quickly went in. Walking to the table, she pulled the paper bag out of her purse, pausing only to stare at the mistake she making.
"Hmpf…no one really cares anyway." She said as she removed the bag, revealing a rather large whiskey bottle, and threw it into the trashcan. As she sat down on the couch, she saw a device Orihime had called an iPod sitting on the coffee table. "Eh…what the hell…" she mumbled as she grabbed it, slipping on the headphones. The first song was a happy one, with a high-pitched female voice singing about how great love was. She immediately changed it to a sad instrumental song. She smiled at her choice and then took a gulp of the liquid.
As she began to actually get drunk, she mindlessly changed songs every few seconds. At one point, she accidentally dropped the player onto the floor where it bounced under the couch. She took another swig of her drink and melted off the couch and onto the floor in search of it. Suddenly the song changed to a slow guitar. She decided she'd better find the iPod soon because she didn't need any slow, sad music right now.
As her hand finally found the small rectangle, a male voice began to sing. 'You brought that bottle home in a paper sack…'
She drew it out from under the couch and stared at it, unable to change the song. 'You drew the blinds and locked the door…'
"Neh…shut up…" she said, her voice shaking slightly.
'And there's nothing but empty there inside that glass…' it continued.
"Stop…"
'So you poured a little more…'
"SHUT UP!" she screamed as she threw the player towards the wall, ripping the speakers out of her ear. She threw the bottle onto the table and covered her ears, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
Unfortunately, in her drunken state…she had opted to turn the volume up as loud as it would go, so now she could still hear it.
'And there's no one there to judge you…at least that's what you tell yourself…'
"Stop…" she said quietly as she hugged her knees to her chest. "Just stop it…"
She heard the door click and someone walk into the kitchen.
'Don't you know…? Nobody drinks alone…'
"I do!" she screamed. "I drink alone all the damn time!"
"Whoa…" she heard a boy's voice in the kitchen. She looked up to see Hitsugaya pulling out three more bag covered whiskey bottles from her purse. He turned towards her and held up a bottle. "Matsumoto…what's going on?"
'Every demon, every ghost…from your past…every memory you held back follows you home…'
"Does not!" she screamed again. Hitsugaya came around the corner, bottle still in his hand, to see what she was screaming at. He picked it up and listened to the end of the chorus before shutting it off.
'Nobody drinks alone…'
"I do…" she pouted quietly as she stuffed her face between her knees. "I always have…"
"Matsumoto…" he put a hand on her shoulder. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck. "I thought we agreed you wouldn't drink anymore…"
She shrugged. "Agreements are like promises and promises break."
"You were thinking about Ichimaru again…" he sighed sadly, glancing at the bottle. "Weren't you?"
She nodded. "Of course I was. I wouldn't drink for no freakin' reason, Taicho."
She heard the cushions of the couch squish together as he sat on it. "That song's right though…"
She heard him twist the bottle open and looked up at him. "Taicho…"
"Mind if I join you?" he asked as he took his own gulp.
Yea, pretty random, I know. They'll get better…I hope…
