Semua Bab Two Nights Stand: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Walking into the dimmed lights this night, it would be hard to guess that one loose string, a night out, would have so much power over my life. Alcohol, cigarettes, minty breaths and sweaty body odors filled the air, a promise of pure regrets and I wish I knew hang in the air. I leaned forward and picked my drink. Some alcohol with flavor. Am not going to say strawberry. All girls love that and it's boring. Isn't there any metallic flavour. Getting drunk once in a blue moon isn't bad at all. Not that I usually drink, I never do. Except the one time on a new year party. I glance over at Cindy my roommate, her chocolate hair is tumbling on her shoulders and their are small rivulets of sweat on her forehead. Crap, she was dawning her drink in gulps. I tried to slow her down but she sent a sheepish wicked smile my way with sleepy eyes. The ciggar passed my way, I took a puff  giving it to the next person.  I watched Cindy take the blunt

Steve's P.O.V I look at her she's wasted and very drunk, not good for a girl like her. I never expected her to agree to come with me in the first place. I had been trying out my luck because I knew the answer would be a no. But I would still try, better die trying. Pleasing her is very difficult. She is high maintenance, not the one you think. She doesn't need anybody, so it's high maintenance for somebody to figure out what they can do for her.  I hail a cab to take her home, and she can't even get up when we arrive, the gate man is asleep and he won't listen to the constant beeps. We can't stay here forever, so the only option is my place.   When I say my place, I hope she won't end up like the other girls. The ones who begged me to please them and fell in love alone, I wasn't their to catch them.    I open the door and we get inside laying her gently on my bed. She looks peaceful and happy. I take off her

I descended the stairs one by one. This was my walk of shame. Cheers to me for letting my guard down. My head hung low next to my chest. It felt heavier and I couldn't even lift it to see the good days or sunrise. I hear some deep raspy laughter and there he was Jake speaking to someone on the phone. I hope he already forgot about me. He shouldn't make this worse. " Hey, it's you again," he says pocketing his phone. " Yeah," I reply my head down. "Wait!" Before he could continue I was long gone. I stumble on my last step and meet  this girl, half dressed, her dress hanging up above her thighs. She looks up at my red eyes and mummers some bad words in disgust. I arrive at the apartment, and find  Cindy  cooking pancakes and coffee. " Girl, you are back, I was about to call a missing persons report,"  she says, I never slept out. It was the first time and she deserved to be worried. " Yeah I kn

" Will you hold my hand? "It's the second time she is saying this. I'm sitting beside her hospital bed." You know it's not that serious, I'll get well soon and we can eat grilled chicken and pasta on New year's Eve," she says." Do you think they'll let you go home by that time?" I ask her." Of course" she says. "Are you doubting,"" No, it's only that you are getting worse, can't they change your treatment," I reply." No, I only started, the pain killers ain't helping, but they gave me another dose,"" Okay,"" Now sleep and don't worry yourself so much," I say kissing her forehead." In case of anything, will you place take care of your siblings for me and be the responsible one?"" What? Why? Nothing is going to happen,"" Just promise me,"" I will, I say, a sharp pain stabbing my chest,"
