《Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE》Chapter 23
Advertisement
The next day when I woke up I had this shrieking pain in my head. I looked at the clock on the table and it was 3:30 in the afternoon.
I looked around the room but it had no sight of Rex. I looked at myself in the mirror and I was changed into a navy blue sweatshirt and white sweatpants.
Our bags were neatly packed and kept in the corner of the room. It was then that I realized that we have to leave for Seattle today.
I hurriedly made my way downstairs and nearly tripped on my last step. Rex was sitting with grandma on the dining table sipping his black coffee and as soon as he saw me he got up from his seat and made his way towards the kitchen.
I suddenly felt a pang of guilt making it's way to my heart as I remembered my promise to my grandma of having ice-cream with her after returning from the pub. Suddenly the events of last night came to my remembrance but just in bits and pieces.
I remembered that I was already two beers down and then I took three vodka shots as well. "Shit", I hissed when I remembered dancing with someone who was surely not Rex.
I made my way towards grandma and she looked at me with a faint smile on her face. "You don't look so well. Had a lot to drink I guess", she said while she had a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Yes. My head is throbbing", I said while I sat on one of the chairs and started massaging my temples. Just then Rex entered the dining room with a cup of coffee whose aroma made its way through my nostrils waking me up completely.
"Here", he said while placing the cup in front of me. I looked at him and passed him a small smile but he just looked at me dead in the eyes and went into the room.
I followed behind him clearly not liking the coldness between us. I stood in the doorway resting my body against the frame while he sat on the bed checking his phone.
"I am sorry", I said while taking slow steps towards him. "You should be saying that to her, don't you think?", he said while passing me a glare.
When I was standing right in front of him he continued, "She was literally waiting for us till midnight. When I returned home with a drunk you lunging on me, she knew that you were not in a state to have ice-cream with her and so to save you from the embarassement today, she just lied to me saying that she wasn't feeling sleepy and that's the reason she just thought of sitting in the living room watching television even when the TV set was off. But I insisted that I wanted to have ice-cream as I was hungry and on saying that I swear I saw her eyes with a glint of happiness in them. So once I was done tucking you in bed, I went downstairs and while having ice-cream we even watched a movie before she went to bed." I literally felt a tear drop from my eyes and the next moment he took me in his arms and rubbed my back to stop me from crying.

"Ssshhh! You should be a little responsible Rebekah is what I am saying. You don't meet her that often and she is already sad that we are leaving today", he said while looking at me and drawing circles on my arms. I wiped my nose with my sleeve and looked at him.
"Get ready if you want to. We are leaving in 5", he said before kissing me on my forehead and making his way out of the room. I changed into a pair of light blue jeans and after putting my hair into a messy bun I made my way downstairs before looking at my room one last time.
Rex was out in the driveway putting our luggage in the car trunk. I hugged my grandma and while placing my palm on her cheek I said, "It was so nice to be here with you just like old times. Take care of yourself and I will call you everyday, I promise. I'll miss you grandma. And I am so sorry for yesterday. I was being a complete bitch by drinking beyond my capacity forgetting about my promise that I made to you."
She hugged me again and in between her sobs she said, "It's okay baby and I'll miss you too. Keep visiting me with Rex. I really loved having you'll here. And remember I am always here for you." Just then Rafael and John entered the house with Rex trailing behind them.
John looked at Rex disappointingly and said, "I am sorry about yesterday man. Caleb is a douchebag and I had no idea that he had eyes on Rebekah from the very start." Rex just patted him on the back and after meeting grandma and Rafael he made his way out again.
John came towards me and hugged me tightly. "I know I can't make you stay here. But stay in touch okay? I will miss you Becs."
Rebekah didn't ask me about the events of last night and I didn't put them forward before her because I knew for a fact that she was drunk and she didn't do any of it purposely. She was unusually quiet on the flight back to Seattle.
Noone knew that we were back in Seattle and we decided to surpise them with this. It was already a long tiring journey back to Seattle and Rebekah was sleeping through most of it.
"Are you fine", I asked her when we were almost on the lane of the school. She just nodded at me and passed me a small smile while I got down from the cab and then she signalled the driver to make way to her place.
I made my way to my room and when I opened the door I found Austin laying on his bed lazily munching on some potato chips. "Hey buddy. Welcome back", he said sounding uninterested.
I just smiled at him which he didn't had the courtesy to pass and rested my bags in the corner. "How's Becca?", he asked me.

His voice was filled with concern. "Umm... She's fine. Just a little tired but she's doing good", I said while neatly folding the muffler I was wearing.
"Are things fine between you'll?", he asked while he eagerly waited for me to answer. I always had a hint that Austin had feelings for Rebekah and to be honest I felt that they would look cute together.
They had a lot in common but maybe it's because Austin never accepted his feelings for her that they aren't together. "We are good", I said not knowing if he was interested to know things in detail.
I saw a look of disappointment on his face before he continued munching on his chips.
I had just taken a bath when my phone rang indicating a message from Rebekah.
It was almost 2:00 in the morning and I was hungry. I ordered pizza and the delivery man arrived 20 minutes later.
I devoured my pizza while reading a novel and then slept my ass off. When I woke up in the morning Austin wasn't in the room.
I quickly took a bath and made my way to Rebekah's place. By the time I reached at her place, the others were already there.
Rebekah was the one to answer the door and she kissed me quickly before letting me inside. Everyone looked at us with their eyes wide open as we entered the living room holding each other's hands and looking at each other like complete love struck idiots.
"I knew it", April shrieked as she came running towards me and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back but my eyes fell on Rey who was looking at me with a big smile on his face.
"I missed you so much Rex and I am so happy for you", she said while passing me a wink. As soon as I went inside Talia came out of her room while her hands rested on her hips.
As soon as Rebekah got busy with the breakfast preparations, Talia came towards me and said slowly, "So you are back with your girl! Well she looks so happy and what a surprise it is to see you'll together." I grinned at her like an idiot and mouthed a thankyou to her.
The last night when Rebekah came back home she looked sad and tired and I thought it was because that she might have ended things with Rex and is dealing with the emptiness in her heart. I even asked her the reason behind the frown on her face which she brushed away by saying that it was the long journey that made her so grumpy.
And I guess now that she wasn't lying. I was completely shocked and anger boiled in my veins when I saw them walking hand in hand in the room as if they were a trophy to each other.
She had a big smile on her face and I swear at that moment I could give someone even a hundred dollars to wipe it off her face. It burned my heart to see her so happy after being the reason for my sadness.
How could my plan not work was all I thought. I literally brought her face to face with the one person that she hates the most and she even manages to handle that along with the help of that dickhead Rex.
I am done seeing her walk around as if everything is fine. As if she didn't ruin my life.
As if she hasn't taken away what was rightfully mine. I would do anything to separate her from Rex even if it meant killing one of them.
I looked at her while she looked at Rex with hearts in her eyes. I wanted to throw up after seeing their stupid affection.
It made me feel sick. I was already getting into the habit of dealing with that slut April as she was literally hanging out with us every damn time.
Rey is literally going head over heals for her and I don't see the reason behind that. She isn't that pretty and as far as her body is concerned she has tits as small as a 6th grade girl and an ass as that of a kid.
I felt like separating her tongue from her mouth when she spoke with that irriatating voice of hers. Already Stella and Alan have stopped hanging out with us as they are too busy licking each other's asses.
And I don't know what's wrong with Austin. He spends most of his time juicing and he is even on steroids these days.
I saw some bottles under his mattress the other day when I went to meet him. And it is all because of that cunt Rebekah.
She had him wrapped around her fingers before this dork entered her life and now she just threw him away as if she is done with him. I feel pity on Austin at times but then doesn't he deserve this for having her on his sleeve every damn time?
What didn't he do for her? He was this crazy Romeo behind her and she didn't ever understood that no friend does this.
She mistook everything by saying that he doesn't feel for her and that they are just friends with benefits. Which goddamn friend buys a car for you?
He even made his parents meet her and that whore just considers it as normal. What a dumb woman she is!
