Chapter 6
"Rei", Nova whispered with a tap on Rei's shoulder waking him up, "what", "time to go", she explained, he sighed and got up, stretching. "We have an hour before the party if you wanna go get some sleep" Nova reassured, "No it's fine but im gonna need to drink even more", "sure about that" she started before remembering he's upset, "well i dont keep any of the good alcohol out, so if you want, come get me and we can talk", Rei nodded and the pair got in the car where Gale and Rose were already sitting.
"Is this okay" Rose asked again, "i already told you, i dont really give a crap what you wear", Rei stated gesturing to car for what felt like the hundreth time. Rose put her jacket on and headed to the car. "are you okay Rei", Rose asked, slightly concerned for her brother, "yeah im fine" he said blankly, she sighed and knew something was wrong.
Rose ran in to look for Nova with Rei walking slowly behind. "Hey there" Nova cheered popping out from behind the door, she chuckled, "you obviously dont wanna be here", Rei simply responded with a scoff and walked off leaving Nova slightly upset. Rei walked to the kitchen where he was hoping to find more alcohol but instead found Sylvia flirting with some guy and he walked back to Nova, "You said you hid the good stuff" Rei looked at her, Nova turned around and made a gesture to follow her as she walked towards her room.
"Gale hey" Rose started, "have you seen Nova anywhere", "nope" he responded as he heard a *ding* on his phone and he looked down, {hey i walked 2 the alc store, we runnin out}. Gale sighed and looked back up at Rose, "was that her" she asked without hesitation, he nodded and began, "she went to get more drinks"
Rei took another sip of his drink, "what do you mean boring", "well when me and Gale werent actually together i could go to someone else if i was bored but now if i get bored i cant go to someone else or i would be cheating", Nova responded and Rei chuckled, "All girls need more than one guy, even if its cheating", Nova thought about Rei's remark. Rei looked at her closet about to question her clothing before he felt something on his lips, something younger and new, "your right" Nova started, "i saw Sylvia with that guy, i bet your pretty upset right", Rei was confused and yet he knew exactly what she meant. "But you have Gale and he-" , "oh shut up all ready", Nova cut him off and pulled her best friends brother on top of her.
Gale and Rose had been talking for a while and Rose was upset that she wasnt drunk yet, "Can we please go get a drink" she begged, "one minute, Nova isn't back yet so you have to dance with me", he grabbed her hands and led her to the center of the crowd. Once the song was over the pair ran out of the crowd laughing. "wow your a fun guy, Nova is lucky to have you", she complimented, "im lucky to have her" he corrected, now about those drinks, she keeps the best stuff in her room"
Gale guided Rose through the crowd to Nova's door where an obviously drunken Sylvia stood with a different guy from earlier, "sorry we're using this room" she giggled almost falling as she opened the door, and then, almost as if the alcohol was shook out of her, she was sober. "Rei" Sylvia managed to mutter, "Hey Syl-ly" Nova shouted, Rei had already become completley upright and sitting next to Nova knowing Rose would show up soon. Sylvia took a minute before running away almost in tears as Gale and Rose stepped into the doorway, Gale immediatley scoffed and stormed off, however, Rose walked in and yanked her brother off the bed and handed him his clothes before speaking, "breathe", "what" he puzzled, "BREATHE" Rose shouted forcing her brother to breathe, she sniffed Rei's breath and could smell his intoxication, "im driving, get ready" she scoffed as she walked out of the room.
"Sorry", Rei muttered as he started to get dressed, "its okay" she begun, "everyone's gonna blame me cause they think you're drunk", "isnt that a bad thing" he questioned, "eh, im not one for personal attachments", "well ill see you tomorrow" he asked, "you know it" She exclaimed as he left Rei knew how Rose must've felt after the everything with Rin, the car ride was silent and he was sure she would yell when they got home. Once they went inside, however, she only made him lay down as she got him an aspirin and a water before going to bed. "she's obviously blaming Nova for this" he thought as he fluttered to sleep.
SORRY THIS IS KINDA SHORT GIHI
