THE RELAPSE

I felt around the bed, searching for her. Last night was the first night she had stayed with me since she told me we should slow down days before. It was different, like we were walking on eggshells. We didn’t want to fight and we didn’t want to force it.

I went with it. I didn’t know what else to do, so for now, I gave her some time. It was biting me in the ass. The night she agreed to stay over, she left before I woke up.

I propped on my elbows, and pulled the drawer open on my nightstand. I lifted the stack of unopened envelopes and grabbed my pill bottle underneath. I put two under my tongue and laid back down. Staring at the ceiling, my mind was running at light-speed. I knew I needed more today. I popped two more pills under my tongue and got out of bed.

I found a pair of jeans on the floor and tugged them on before walking from my room. Joel was leaning on the bar, staring into space. He brought a bottle of vodka to his mouth, sipping.

“What the hell are you doing?” I asked.

“I’m hungover,” he said without looking at me. He twisted the lid on and put the bottle on the bar before sitting on a stool.

“Did you see Taylor this morning?”

Covering his mouth, he clenched his eyes shut as he chuckled. “Don’t make me laugh. It hurts.”

“What?” I asked, not amused.

“She woke me up when she came in the living room.”

“What the hell were you doing in the living room?”

He put his hands up, ready to get into a story. “Get this; apparently I passed out on the floor last night after Jenny and I came,” he paused to laugh. “She came in and saw Jenny buck-ass naked on the couch and I’m on the floor and she screamed,” he said, laughing.

“How is that shit funny?”

He slapped me on the shoulder. “If she’s pissed about what your friends do with their free time, you need another girl.”

I threw my hands up. “You can’t fuck in the living room and pass out naked…Especially when my girlfriend is here.”

“Girlfriend?” He asked, amused.

I was over this conversation. I looked at the clock, seeing that I had missed my first two classes, I decided I wasn’t going. I walked behind the bar, into the kitchen, and grabbed the bottle he was drinking out of.

The pills had already relaxed me, or his head would’ve already been through a wall. Still, I grabbed a glass and poured a shot into it.

“You aren’t going to class?” He asked.

I shook my head, tossing the shot into my throat. “Nope, you?”

“I dropped my classes.”

I filled another shot. “Why?”

“Jay’s keeping me busy. I don’t think I need to finish,” he said with a sly grin.

“You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, man,” I said, taking another shot.

By now my head was swimming. There was a large warning on my pill bottle about mixing it with alcohol, but I did it sometimes.
