As bad as we are now

Chapter nine- secrets

This week has been something like horrendous, my parents have been in fights , my brother doesn't speak at me or drives me to school, Jim has been ignoring me not sure why and well let's not even speak about Calum, he doesn't even look at my face, when I catch him staring at me, he pretends to be talking with Luke and Ashton the all time.

I pass by a coffee shop and I stop, I get out of my motorcycle and i look at my phone, it's almost 6pm and it's getting dark, but I really don't want to go home right now.

I enter the shop and there's maybe three people in it. I sit at the balcony and a young guy with a very light purple hair and a eyebrow piercing comes in my direction by the other side of the balcony.

"can I be helpful in something?" he asks me with a smile and hands me a menu

"I'm not sure if I need a strong or soft drink..." i say to him

"what if you start with the soft one, if it doesn't work out try the strong one." he smiles at me

"yeah..." I smile at him and I watch carefully the menu while he stares at me waiting for my request because there's no one left for him to attend

 

"what do you recommend?" I ask him because i have no idea what i want

"I make a very good latte, best in the city..." he says proudly and flips his cloth to his shoulder i notice he has a couple of tattoos on his hands just like Calum has one... oh stop.

"don't disappoint me then." I say to him with a smile , he has grey blue beautiful eyes that compared to my dark green ones I feel intimidated

"promise..." he turns back with a smile and I watch him work, a old man passes by me and smiles

"good afternoon miss..." he says to me and takes a slice of cake from the other side of the balcony he must be the owner of this shop probably

"hi..." i say with a weak voice

"did you order already?" he asks

"I'm doing it" The purple hair guy answers before I could even open my mouth and i smile, I'm smiling a lot since I enter this shop

"oh... good good." he says to him and leaves with a smile on his face, I watch him get away slowly with the plate and the cake on his hand

"here you go. hope you enjoy it." he says and puts the big white cup in front of me with a nice flower design on the top

"thank you." I say and give a sip

"so?" he asks

"good yeah... I should have put a little sugar though" I smile at him and he rushes to give me two little packs of white sugar

"thanks." i say and i quickly drink after poring the little bags of sugar

"well " he leans back into the other counter and puts is cloth on his shoulder again  "if i may ask, why do you need a strong drink?"

I give the last sip on the latte and I smile "my life sucks..."

"I see." he turns back and takes a bottle of whisky from the top shelf and grabs two shot glasses that are next to him

he looks around to see if his boss is looking "here, is on the house. I know is not in this glasses but we don't want you drunk..." he fills the small shot cups with the whisky

I take a deep breath and I take one in my hand, i look at it.

"is not going to change anything will it?" I ask him
