Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 14 - For Me, The Distance Is Decay
I stopped the car. The smell of car exhaust and pine trees was poisoning my breath. Swinging my feet out of the car and lifting my phone out of my jean pocket I whispered his name.
"Oi." I whispered into the darkness. "Danny."
I waited. There was nothing but the sound of my car and the darkness that surrounded it. Then, out of the trees i see him dragging himself up to me.
"Ya fucking bastard!" He yelled, slamming me into my own car.
"What the hell!?" I screamed back, kicking him into the ground. He fell onto his back, with his face pressed into the scattered pines of the forest floor. "Your drunk." I said, looking at him shamefully. "I'm so sorry it's been so long."
"You left me Oli." He said, motionlessly. "You left me for that bitch of a sister I have." He slammed his fist into the ground. "I've been real lonely, you know." He whispered.
I lifted him into a sat up position. I pressed him up against the car, pinning his head up for him and eventually sitting beside him. "I was stupid for that." I admitted shamefully. "But I'm with you now." I whispered to him.
He smiled to himself. "Your a cunt Oli. The biggest bloody cunt I know." He paused. "But that's why we're friends." He laughed.
I laughed too, he seemed to brush it off quite happily but I knew that when the alcohol wore off he might not have forgiven me yet. "Let's get you home, you drunk fuck." I said, still letting out a nervous laugh.
After lifting him into my car and watching him fall asleep on the window of the car door, I started the car and drove him back to his place. Luckily it was just round the corner. I pulled into his driveway and examined his house, looking trashed on the inside and outside.
"Shit." I said to him, waking him up. "The fuck happened to this place?"
"Home sweet home, Oli." He said before swinging the door open and taking a shaky step out. I ran round to his side and held him by the shoulders, leading him to the front door and laying him down in the bathroom.
"Thanks Oli." He said, patting me on the head awkwardly.
I smiled. "It's alright."
"But why would you come to me now? I thought you were fine without me?" Danny said, covering his mouth and leaning over the toilet.
"Because, believe or not, I need a brake from life in general." I said, patting him on the shoulder. "And where better to come than here, with you." I said.
He sighed. "Yeah."
Danny stood up and walked away from the bathroom, beckoning me to follow. He walked into his bedroom, where he pulled out a box fro under his bed. "Let's get fucking high." He shouted, excitedly lifting the lid of the box and grinding up some weed.
"But Danny..." I said hesitantly. "I can't. I have to get home soon. I can't stay here for too long."
"What? Why?" He asked, continuing to roll up a blunt for himself and holding it up to his lighter. "You got another job to collect?" He sighed, taking a huge toke and letting it out through his teeth.
"Na." I paused. He handed me the blunt. "I've got a girl at home."
His face changed. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You really gonna leave me for a girl again?" He forcefully demanded.
I shook my head. "I guess not."
He smiled. "Good." Danny shoved the blunt in my mouth and lit it for me.
We got really high and my mind started to shoot through all of my memories and worries. Danny was SJ's sister. He was adopted and was treated unfairly in their family by SJ. She never accepted him as a brother and as they grew older, their hatred grew too. And after being his best friend for two years, I met his sister and fell for her like a rock into a river.
This was why we stopped talking. He had totally blocked her and everyone to do with her out of his life. I sighed. What I bloody fool i was.
He looked at me funny. "So what happened to you and SJ?"
"Oh that." I frowned. "She was really controlling, and i fell in love with someone else."
He shot up off the floor and clutched the wall, pointing at me. "Wise move! And who's this new bitch you get to put your dick in?"
I shriveled my face. "It's not like that!" I shouted at him in defense of Rain. "I really love her Danny."
He shrugged me off and changed the subject. "Alright lover boy. You want something to drink?" He smiled, winking and gesturing towards the kitchen cupboard. Hell yeah I did!
