Chaptet eighteen - The Morning After

"Watch your mouth." Chase told me.

I didn't reply.

"You were quite a mess last night." Tommy told me.

"Well thank you for stating the obvious." I replied.

"Eat." Jake said, placing some pancakes in front of me.

"I don't want to."

"Khloe eat it. It will help."

"But I feel like shit."  I told them.

"good, maybe this time you won't do it again." Chase said.

I rolled my eyes. We all knew too well that I will do this again...

"I'll have one." I told them, starting to eat my pancake.  "Do we have any paracetamol?" I asked.

"Nope. Charlie and Logan took the last ones last night." Tommy complained.

"Great."  I replied. "Where is Charlie?"

"Downstairs." Dean told me, clarifying my assumption.

"Weren't you with Charlie when I saw you?" Jake asked me, "you know at the party."

"Yes." I replied.

"How come I only saw you with Logan?" Dean asked.

"Charlie got mad at me. Stormed off." I explained.

"I'm going to kill him. I thought he knew better than that. That idiot. He seriously left you all by yourself in that state?" Dean asked me.

"You're not going to do anything to Charlie. It was all me. He didn't think I was that drunk and he was mad. Besides, You left me when I went to find my friends." I shrugged.

Hypocrite.

"Well I didn't know you'd had that much to drink!" Dean argued.

"Neither did he."

"Khloe, please tell me that you won't do it again?" Dean asked, I could see him and his pleasing eyes look at me and instantly felt guilty.

I watched as Chase came and awkwardly took the seat besides him. The pair of them were watching me and waiting.

"I can't promise that." I sigh.

"Khloe, are you fucking kidding me right now?" Chase growls.

"I don't know... I'm really sorry. I just can't help it." I reply.

"Why not?" Chase asks, watching me.

"Something just comes over me. I'm not sure why. Nerves maybe? Or I just want to forget?" I say.

"Forget what?" Chase persists.

"Everything." I shrug.

"What you're saying doesn't make sense." Tommy replies.

"I don't know, okay? I like to have fun, then I do something and then I feel bad and then upset. I don't know what comes over me." I shrug. "I just get a bit carried away and lost sometimes."

"But do you realise what you are doing to yourself?" Chase asks.

I narrow my eyes, "why do you care?"

"Because I don't want something bad happening to my little sister!" Chase exclaims and my hide widen.

"So you do care?" I ask.

"We all care, Khloe." Chase sighs.

"We just don't know what to do with you anymore." Dean tells me.
