The sun came through my window, as bright as it ever is, and woke me up at about 9 in the morning. I didn't get much sleep last night. Mostly, I thought about what Gerard had said. And he is completely right. I decided to talk to Mikey about helping me with another job.
I stumbled out of bed and walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day. After looking in the mirror, I realized I needed to change my hair. I've never done anything to it and the deep brown color it has is boring to me. I am starting to lose more weight and it's noticeable. My ribs can be seen too easily.
I walked downstairs and called Mikey.
"Hey, Vi. What's up?"
"Hey Mikes, I was just wondering if you could come by and walk for a minute."
"Um, yeah. Give me a few minutes."
"Alright, thanks."
Ten minutes later I found myself sitting on my bed spilling my guts to Mikey about my job and about what Gerard had said and as usual he turned it into a positive thing. He is going to talk to his old manager at Barnes and Noble about me getting a job there. Hopefully, I can.
I was in the kitchen helping Aunt Linda cook for some kind of potluck her work was having. When the guys came in the house rather loudly. Frank walked into the kitchen and I quickly pushed him out jokingly.
"Shoo shoo, this is the women's area. You go in there!"
"It smells so fuckin good though. What are you cooking in here?"
"Nothing for you, now go!", I laughed as he pouted and walked back into the living room.
"I've taught you well.", Aunt Linda said while smiling.
"I gotta admit, I almost fell for that pout he had on his face.", she laughed.
A few hours later Aunt Linda left for her potluck, making sure to tell me she would be staying with a friend tonight. Meaning, since tonight is my night off I would be stuck here with the guys all night. I was sitting in the living room talking to Ray when Mikey informed me that I have a interview tomorrow morning and also asked if I would like him to take me. I said yes, obviously.
"Vi, wanna stay up and watch some movies with us tonight?", Frank spoke up.
"Sure, whatcha watchin?"
"Gerard picked so what do you think?"
"ah, a horror fest. I need alcohol then."
"Gee went to get some."
It wasn't until then that I noticed he was gone. I'm not very observant today. When he came back in the house, he had all kinds of drinks. Including my favorite, Jack Daniels Whiskey. I immediately grabbed the bottle from him and began drinking it.
"Whoah, slow down, Vi.", Gerard said while grabbing it away. "I want some to you know."
"Fine. But no one else gets it!", He laughed.
"okay, just me and you. I promise.", I smiled and sat down on the floor by the couch.
Gerard slowly sat down beside me as the first movie started. We passed the bottle back and forth until I couldn't drink anymore. I was gone.
"GUYS!!!", I screamed
"What?!" they all shouted back, excluding Gerard who was currently laying across my lap.
"Lets do something, I'm bored!"
"No!"
"You guys suck, I'm going out back."
I rolled Gee off my lap and stumbled to the back door and out onto the patio. Something about the stars that night made me a little crazy. I don't know why I did it but, it was the biggest mistake of my life.
