I do not own Four Brothers! But I do own Pixie(Elena), Jane, and Cain. If you have read my "Saving Me" story, this is when she starts her drinking. I really hope you like the story so far. Please review and tell me if you like it :D
Chapter 4
"Beginning of the Spiral"
(Three years later)
"Mercer!" I cracked my eyes and noticed that I have fallen asleep in class, again. My teacher stood over me with a glare on his face. I sat up and whipped the drool off my face.
"Get some sleep Mercer. This is the third time this has happened this week." he growled and walked back to the board. Ya, three times this week in his class, but all together this week it would probably be twelve. It takes me hours now a days to get to sleep.
The bell finally rang for lunch. We get an hour. My boyfriend Cain was picking me up. He's twenty years old. He waited outside in the car and I got in.
"There's my pretty girl ." he kissed my cheek. I just sat there and rubbed my eyes.
"What's your problem?"
"I fell asleep again."
"Of course, Senior year is stressing you out babe. You need to relax." he pulled out a bottle of vodka from underneath his seat and drove off.
"Really? You know I still have three classes left in the day."
"Now now, no need to bite my head off. Just don't drink all of it and your fine." I rolled my eyes and took a sip. We parked in an alley way about four blocks away and we sat on the roof of his car. I kept drinking from the bottle. Not really caring how drunk I may get.
"Well as you said babe. You have three classes left." he laughed as he took the bottle.
"Ah, I don't want to go back." I groaned.
"You don't have to." he smiled and started to kiss my neck.
"Ya I do." I pushed him back.
"No you don't. It's not going to kill you to miss the rest of one day. Your mothers not going to kill you."
"One of my brothers will."
"Oh don't pull that card. The last brother moved out last year."
"That doesn't mean shit. Jack still lives with us because he hasn't bought a place in New York yet. He's not officially out of the house for at least another month or so. He's coming back the next week anyway. But knowing Bobby, he may come back just to kill me in my sleep." I moaned as I took another sip from the bottle.
"You are almost eighteen Pix. Stop bowing to your brothers."
"I don't bow to them."
"Ya you do. Your always afraid of what they're going to do to you, especially Bobby. Grow up."
"Screw you man." I growled and took another sip.
"Oh please do." I hit him for that comment. I took another sip and laid back down. He laid down beside me and whispered in my ear.
"Come on Pixie. Live a little and lets not go back to school. You need a break, and doing so we can finish this bottle." he smiled and kissed my cheek. I took another sip.
"Alright." I rolled over on top of him and made out with him. So I miss three classes. I need a break and what's the worse mom can do to me. We were probably in that alley making out for about an hour and then we went back to his place. I ended up finishing a whole bottle of vodka. I am so in trouble when I get home. He even cracked open another bottle.
"Are you trying to take advantage of me?" I asked.
"Maybe." he gave me a devilish smile and we began to to body shots for another hour. After that my mind was starting to wonder to very high places. I liked this feeling. Cain took me back to his room and we started to kiss on his bed. Slowly he started to strip me out of my clothes but I swatted him back. He kept pushing himself at me. So I hauled out and kicked him his lower area. He fell back and yelled.
"What was that for?" he shouted.
"I am not sleeping with you. Not like this." I growled and walked out the door. It probably wasn't the best idea to be a young woman and walk home alone in Detroit, but at the moment I didn't care. I was drunk to. My steps were wobbly. Oh I am in so much trouble and it's a good long walk home. But instead of going home I went to Jane's house. I knocked on the door and thankfully she answered.
"Holy shit you look terrible." she leaned in and took a sniff. "Have you been drinking?"
"Yes, and now I don't really want to go home. Can I stay the night?" I asked. She nodded and I walked in.
"But please, go take a shower." Jane begged. I sighed and walked to her shower. I turned it on and just sat there for awhile before I actually started to wash. That warm water felt so good on my skin. Jane walked in and left some clothes on the counter. I finished showering and got dressed. She was down in the kitchen making popcorn. I'm guessing by the TV is that she was watching a movie and I disturbed her.
"So are you going to tell me why you are drunk or am I going to have to get it out of you?" she asked. Not even looking at me.
"I just had a rough day. That's all." I said quietly. She just smirked.
"Ha, I remember senior year. Yes it was hard, very hard. I just never thought you would go and drink. You know drinking and anxiety don't go well together." She walked back to the couch. I joined her but sat on the far end. It was very silent, even with the movie. Suddenly my phone started to ring. Damn, it was mom.
"Hi ma." I said shyly.
"Oh Pixie. Thank goodness your alright. I got a call from the school and they said that you never came back after lunch and you didn't come home."
"It's alright ma. Yes I skipped the rest of school. I just had a hard day and I needed a break. I'm with Jane right now." I tried my best not to slur my words. I've never been drunk so it's very hard to talk strait.
"Well alright. As long as your safe. Even though I don't approve of skipping. As long as you weren't with that Cain fellow." oh crap.
"I'm fine ma. See you tomorrow."
"Alright, see you tomorrow dear." I hung up and sighed.
"Smooth." laughed Jane.
"Shut up." I growled.
"Sorry, just saying." she laughed. All of the sudden I felt sick to my stomach and I ran to the bathroom. I started to puke and Jane walked in. She brushed my hair back and put it into a pony tail.
"Oh ya, this is going to be a long night."
"Very." I rolled over and puked again.
