When Evan came back it was nearing 1 a.m. Wednesday.
He found me lying on my floor under my blankets. I was stoned and more than a bit drunk.
He came in locking and closing the door behind him.
He came upstairs putting the groceries on the kitchen counter then over to me.
"hey sorry I'm late," he told me.
"you're not….that…late," I said slowly.
He lied down on the floor on his stomach and began rubbing my back. I smiled.
"awww you're drunky," he said.
I could hear him smiling.
"um. Yeah," I said.
I was already on my 3rd cup.
"so I havent had the grape soda and neither have the others," I told him.
"oh right."
He stood went into the kitchen and sipped the soda.
"oh god. Wow. Yeah don't drink that. How much did you have?"
"not much."
"that's poisoned."
Yeah I know.
"don't drink it."
I heard him throw it in the trash and then he started putting away the groceries.
"yeah so your friend gave me that."
"with poison in it."
"yeah I realized that right after I had it even though I was drunk then but not too drunk."
"look if he offers you something to drink unless its alcohol don't drink it. And don't take his food unless it comes from a restaurant."
"ok. So that happened. hey are you coming to karaoke tonight?"
"um no."
"but Thursday."
"yeah."
"my friends puck and lily are coming. I know puck from high school and lilys one of my best friends. She's really sweet and pucks cool. He's coming in Friday and lily'll be here soon as she can. She's in the city. Our friend scarlette might be moving here too where shell have to be in a hospital. and on that note Mandy's been in the hospital the past 3 months."
"whoa you have a lot of dr," Evan said opening my fridge.
"yeah I know."
"and ok. And I know you've told me."
"oh."
I often repeated myself.
"um and my sister Kate's gone back into the hospital due to another relapse which sh e hasn't had in months. Um. Oh and Anna says we can see her Friday."
"ok. Wow."
I often repeated myself.
"um and my sister Kate's gone back into the hospital due to another relapse which sh e hasn't had in months. Um. Oh and Anna says we can see her Friday."
"ok. Wow."
"so tomorrow you and Annabelle are meeting Mandy and Jesse."
"ok. The girls are nice. Tina's quieter than Brittany. Annabelle's really sweet. She reminds me of. Fuk, her."
"yeah she is."
Whenever Evan referred to 'her' he was talking about his ex Olivia. Olive Louise actually which id found out from looking her up on facebook. She was darling and cute and beautiful and sounded amazing but had apparently fuked him over by lying to him when they first met among other things. She also had a dark past.
