» JENNY POV «
Again another day with yesterday's hangover .
I pinched the bridge of my nose to reduce the pain that was developing inside my head . Gulping some pain killers , I got out of my bed and took a quick shower and changed into my work uniform .
Taking my purse and locking my house , I hurried to my work place that was few blocks away from house .
As I got inside the shop , warm breeze enveloped me making the chattering of my teeth due to cold weather outside fade away .
" How many glasses did you drink yesterday Jenny ? "
I turned my gaze to my left to meet up with a pair of brown concerned eyes looking at me .
" Two. " I said closing the door and walking towards the staff's room to put my purse .
" Am not standing here to hear your s**t of a lie Jenny . " she said following me to the room .
I opened the door to the room and trying as much to avoid her questioning gaze .
Yes . She has the right to question me because she has always been there for me everytime I end up miserable every night. I wouldn't have survived without her by my side .
" Jennifer Stone . Stop ignoring and answer my question . I know you won't end your night in just two glasses especially not yesterday . "
Sighing I turned to face her . She won't leave me until I spill the truth . And I know there's more to face that would come after I admit .
" Two . I mean two bottles ." I said trying to act cool as much as possible .
Looking at her I felt my an urge to run inside and lock myself . Her eyes were widened with shock and her jaw almost hitting the floor .

On-
" WHAT THE HELL JENNY ! YOU HAD TWO FREAKING BOTTLES ?! YOU KNOW ITS HARMFUL ! DOCTOR TOLD YOU TO KEEP IT LOW ! TWO BOTTLES ? OH MY GOD ! EVEN ONE IS DANGEROUS ! OH GO- "
" Calm down Lin . Am fine . Sorry I won't do that again . Am sorry . ". I said trying to calm her down but that seemed not to work .
" SORRY ? JENNY THAT WOULD NEVER GIVE ME BACK WHAT I WILL LOSE ! "
" I promise . I won't do that again . Please ? I had to drink that much to get my mind over everything . .... You know na its quite hard for me . "
As I said those words her gaze softened and she hugged me .
" I know . Am sorry Jen for throwing such tantrums . I was .. I was just worried for you . " she said while pulling back holding my hands .
I smiled back at her thinking how much a person can care for another without expecting anything back. Because am just useless for anyone .
" Atleast my plans on meeting my family up there is working . " I said trying to joke .
" SHUT UP ! " she screamed right at my face .
" Okay ! Am sorry ! " I said lifting my hands in surrender.
" Hey girls ! Did I miss anything ? "
We turned our heads towards the door to see my other best friend I may add ,standing there smiling .
" She had two bottles yesterday ." Lin said looking back at me .
" Nick . Now don't you start another tantrum . I just can't stand it . Am sorry okay . ! " I said trying to stop another fit of tantrum from my other best friend .
" Jen . " he said sighing and running his hands through his blonde hair in frustration .
" I'm Sorry Nick . I had to . " I said trying to calm him down before he starts his way of scolding me .
Adalin and Nick has been the only two who has been so close to me other than my family . They are like my family members . Honestly for my mom , they both were like her own children . And for Nick he is like the exact copy of my now dead brother . Always the caring one .
And about Adalin she is just like my mom . Always throwing tantrums when I overdrink or get late . She never accompanies me to the bar because I never let her but Nick always follows me and he end up drinking with me . But yesterday he was not with me that made me end up with drinking two bottles .
" I left you alone for one night at that bar , you ended up drinking two bottles Jen ? You should think before you drink . " he said and am sure he is guilty that he can't take care of me .
" Nick , am sorry I won't drink that much again . Okay ? " I said trying to calm him down . He nodded running his hands through his hair messing it again .
" You know you look hot when you do that " I said trying to change the current topic and am successful in that when he grins and messes his hair again which makes both me and lin to burst out laughing .
" And you both look like maniacs laughing like that . " he said pointing his finger at both of us.
" huh. So much of complimenting . " I said rolling my eyes .
" Okay . Now cut this crap because manager just arrived. We really don't want to lose this job . So lets get started on our duty ! " Lin said giving us a strict nod and walking out of the room .
" So... Did you go to ..you know ...its their death anniversary . " he asked and I nodded in answer clearly indicating not to talk about it and he suddenly understands it and smiled .
" You better come out fast . I'll be on my counter . " Nick said waving and walking out .
I left a breath that I didn't know I was holding till now .
I am sure I will miss them and so do they . We all know what's yet to come but no one brings it up and they know I am running out of time .
Atleast we could live the moment ?
