Riley's POV:

Bang bang bang

I'm startled awake by a banging on my window.
I check the time and see it reads:
2:30am

I cover my face with the blanket and groan.

Bang bang bang

I get up and see Maya at the window. Not again.
I open it and whisper scream,
"What are you doing its 2:30 in the morning!"

She giggles as she walks in and stumbles around the room.
I stand still stiffly and say worried,
"You didn't drink.. Did you?"

She looks at her hands and slurs,
"Iiiiii dunnooo. Maybeee."

I gasp and say,
"Maya! You said you wouldn't do that again! Where the hell did you get alcohol?"

She says falling backwards onto my bed,
"It's not alcohol it was tequila siiiiilly!"

I roll my eyes and say,
"That IS alcohol you idiot."

She pouts and says,
"That was mean."

I sigh and sit next to her and say,
"Well you're mean for going against your promise."

She says giggling,
"I didn't promise nothin'!"

I groan and say sassily,
"Yeah you did honey! How'd you even make your way here?"

She says,
"Weeeeell I walked out the window and used my one-two feet and made my way down town! Here I aaaam."

I say grabbing her shoulders,
"Where did you get the alcohol anyway?"

She says nonchalant,
"My mom went to bed and I was still up so I looked under the cabinet and there it was. I wanted to try it and it burned my throat, but it's really goooood. You should try!"

I say,
"Maya you're seriously pissing me off. Why the hell did you drink it and how much?"

She says,
"Like half the bottle I dunno."

After 10 minutes or maybe even less, she started to get really depressed. God knows what she would be doing if she was home alone.
God I swear sometimes I think she should never leave my sight. It's sad to say I don't even trust my own best friend.



Especially the one I've had a crush on since we were 5.


Shut up I didn't say that...
Okay I did.
But just... Don't say anything.
Sigh.
Ugh.
Fuck I love her.
I can't stay mad at her even when she's a drunk mess.
But come on. We're 16 and she's already got the bad idea on life. I need to stay with her and keep her safe.
I can't believe she went against her promise after the first time she got drunk.
Thank God she hasn't done anything else.. That I know of.

She cries into my lap,
"Why am I such a FUCKING SCREW UP?!"

I pet her hair to try to calm her down and say softly,
"Peaches you're far from a screw up."

She says,
"I can't even keep a promise."

I say,
"Yeah well-"

She sits up and says sobbing,
"I'm sorry."

I go to her and put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her but she pushes it off and says,
"Don't touch me."

I say,
"Maya-"

She says louder,
"DONT!"

I step back surprised and she says,
"God I hate myself I hate my life and everyone and everything hates me. My dad even knew I wasn't worth it when I was only 5. God my life is such a wreck and I can't even put up with it. I hate ho-"

I cut her off from rambling with a kiss. Nothing to lose right? When she's sober in the morning she won't remember anything.. She doesn't pull back or kiss back at first but once she does her hands run through my hair and I smile against her lips.
Damn I take it back. I wish she could remember all this tomorrow.
We pull back for air and she breathes out,
"Let's just uh go to bed."

I nod and agree.
I hand her a pair of sweatpants and she says blushing,
"T-thanks."

I can't help but start to grin like a mad man.

I wake up the next morning to my shoulder shaking and Maya saying groggily and raspy,
"Riles wake up."

I rub my face and say,
"Yeah?"

She says squinting,
"How'd I get here?"

I say,
"Oh. Uh. You got drunk again and then came over stumbling. It was bad. I was mad.. But you don't remember anything?"

She says looking down playing with a string on the blanket,
"I'm sorry Riley but I couldn't help myself. I have no self control and I know I said I won't do it again but I'm serious this time. I really didn't mean to keep drinking. I'm sorry if I bothered you. But no I don't remember anything."

I say quietly,
"Oh."

She looks down at her phone and says rushing,
"Oh shit I forgot josh wanted to go out to breakfast today. Fuck. You wanna come, we're going to that cafe down the street?"

I say smiling,
"Nah go have a good breakfast with your boyfriend. I'll see you later."

She smiles sweetly and waves and walks out the window. And the same old process begins again.
