Escape

Chapter 28

"Brian! Holy shit, way to give someone a heart attack" I yelled in a whisper, being careful not to wake the others.

"Sorry... I didn't expect anyone to be up..." He yelled in a whisper back, "So why are you down here?" He asked as I pulled up a chair across from him.

"Can't sleep" I rolled my eyes.

"Join the party" he laughed.

"Damn awesome party" I said sarcastically.

"Damn fucking right" he laughed.

We both sat there in silence looking around the room not sure of what to say.

"You got any drinks?" Brian suddenly asked.

"Follow me" I said as I got up to go into the basement; our second wine cellar which I had always thought was better than the one at our house.

"Another wine cellar" Brian laughed.

"Yeah, except this one is easily 10 times better" I said as I flipped on the light revealing the rows of bottles stacked on shelves.

Brian walked through one of the rows gazing in awe at all of the different brands and flavore until he picked up the bottle of his choice; Whiskey.

"How's this?" He asked.

"My favorite" I smiled, as he oppened the bottle and poured us both a drink.

"Wanna hear a funny story?" I suggested.

"Why not" He shrugged his shoulder, as he sipped his drink.

"So, I never knew we had a wine cellar until I was 8, and when I found it I never thought much of it... But when I was 12 I someone how became obsessed with alcoholic beverages. I hadn't drinken a drop of it besides on special occasions but I loved it" I laughed, as I took a sip of my drink. "And so one day when my parents were out I came down here and tried almost every drink."

"Did you get drunk" Brian snickered.

"No.. But I passed out and my dad found me down here, right over there actually" I said as I pointed over to the corner. "And I had to go to the hospital... Cause I was so sick" I laughed.

"That's great" Brian laughed.

"I always laugh thinking about it... Besides the fact that my parents were scared outta their minds"

Brian laughed and we both stood there sipping down our drinks. As we finished we walked back up stairs and sat down at the kitchen table in the same seats as before.

"So..." He said.

"Sooo...." I replied back.

"So do you have any friends?" He asked.

Ew... Friends.

"Uhm kind of..." My voice trailed off, "why?"

"Eh I'm lonely, I need a girlfriend... Or someone to hook up with." He smirked.

"That's the whiskey talking" I rolled my eyes.

"Look, I like you... a lot but as long as you're with Matt nothing can happen between us, so I need someone else to daydream about" He blurted out truthfully.

I was screaming on the inside. Not because I couldn't believe he was telling me this and I was dating Matt but because Brian was the one who I had always had a crush on, not Matt... Ever since I started listening to Avenged Sevenfold Brian was the one who I fangirled over the most and.. 'Loved the most'... Well as much as you love someone who you don't know.
