Chapter 12 Matt

"Hey Amy!"

"Yeah"

"The school just called, I'll be able to go next year"

"That's great Scarlett"

So this morning the school called and said I could make up the 3 tests that I missed during the summer. I was happy I'd be with my friends for the next school year and happy I was home. I still couldn't believe Matt managed to catch me.

*******

Im not allowed out of the house cause Im still on suicide watch, but at least I have company.

"Hey Scar!"

"Yeah Amy?"

"Guess who just called"

"Who" I said nonchalantly.

"Matt"

At this point she was smiling. That type of suggestive smile.

"Oh please, just because he saved me doesn't mean he's my boyfriend Amy"

"Mhmm" She said still smiling.

"What did he say anyway"

"Not much, just checking up on you"

"Oh ok I'll call him back later"

"So what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know, I'm tired so I'm going back to bed"

"Whatever sleepy head"

I flicked her off as a joke of course. And out of nowhere this girl freaking tackles me.

"Hey what the heck get off me!!!" I say laughing.

"Hell no!" She says as she starts tickling me.

"I tap I tap"

"Say your sorry!"

"I'm sorry, please!!!" I say dying of laughter at this point.

"What are you sorry for?!"

"Flicking you off okay?!?!" I say flustered.

She finally gets off me and we both smile.

"I hate you" I say smiling while walking off to my room.

"Love you too!" She calls back. I chuckle. Maybe it is going to get better. Maybe Im going to get better. But for now, I needed sleep.

Amy's POV

Wow, I actually had a good laugh with Scarlett. It's been years since we've laughed together. It felt good to see her happy and sorta energetic.

About an hour later Avery called and said she wanted to talk. I reminded her that I couldn't leave Scarlett in here alone and she said she'd come over. She sounded a little weird over the phone but I brushed it off.

When she got here I could tell something was wrong, and when I went outside I found out why.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked her.

"Only like a sip of beer"

I could tell she was very drunk. And when I looked in her car, there were empty bottles of vodka and whiskey and beer.

"You were drunk driving!?!"

"I told you it was only like a sipa beer"

She started walking towards me stumbling while holding an unfinished bottle of vodka.

"Get inside"

I carried her inside and took the bottle away from her.

"What the hell!"

"Are you fucking kidding me Avery! You could've died out there!"

"I'm like a pro driver"

"Not when your drunk you aren't. How much have you actually had, and tell me the truth"

"Ok ok, I may have had like two bottles of whiskey and vodka and beer"

"Oh my god Avery, here drink some water"

She drank it and ended up falling asleep.

About two hours had past when my foster dad Adam gets home and sees Avery passed out on the couch.

"Why's your sister here?" He says while looking in the fridge for some to fix for dinner.

"She's drunk" I say with an annoyed tone and continue to read my book without giving it a second thought.

"Well we should get her home you know"

"She'll be fine, just let her sleep it off"

"Are you sure, we can call her boyfriend to come pick her up"

"It's fine"

"Ok. Well how's Scarlett?"

"Asleep as usual, which reminds me, I should go check on her"

So I walked upstairs to Scarlett's room. When I knocked on the door no reply. I assumed she was sleep so I tried to open it. It was locked, I started banging on the door yelling at her to let me in. When she finally did she looked confused and tired.

"What the hell was that for?" She said half asleep.

"You scared me, and you know the rules. No locking doors"

"Since when do I ever abide by any rules"

I face palmed and walked into the room. She was more awake now so we could actually talk.

"You smell like vodka, have you been drinking without me" She chuckled.

"Yeah I guess so" I said chuckling along with her.

"Who were you talking to earlier"

"Oh it was no one"

"You're a terrible liar, now who was it?"

I sighed and told her it was Avery.

"Avery? Why was she here"

"She was drunk"

"Oh my god, is she ok?"

"Yeah she'll be fine, she's sleeping in the couch."

"That doesn't sound like Avery, why was she drinking?"

"I don't know, I'll ask her tomorrow"

"Don't forget to tell me what she says"

"Yeah I won't, and if I do you'll remind me"

"Yep"

"Anyways, let's go downstairs dinners ready"

"Ugh"

"Come on, you are one of the most beautiful people I know. And a little bit of steak isn't gonna change that"

"Your right I guess."

"Indeed I am, now come on before it gets cold" I said with a nice warm smile.

After dinner we all went to bed, Avery was still sleep on the couch, and I was planning on talking to her about this.

**********

Still Amy's POV

Today Avery was still sleep on the couch but I woke her up.

"So you wanna explain why you came here drunk"

"No"

"It's not a choice, you know how dangerous drunk driving is"

"I know okay"

"So then why the hell were you doing it?"

"I've been a mess lately okay. I'm behind on school work, mom and dad are dead, and Scarlett tried to kill herself again because of me"

I sat down with her.

"It's ok, we all need a little help sometimes"

"She almost DIED because of me"

"It's not your fault"

"It is my fault, if Scarlett succeeded, it would my fault"

"But she didn't"

"But what about next time"

"There won't be a next time"

"How can you be so sure if that"

"Scars starting to realize all the things she has to live for"

Just then Scarlett came walking down the stairs obviously tired but awake.

"Hey Scar" I said. "Come sit"

"Ok"

She sat down and looked at me and Avery. We sat in silence for a minute but finialy Scarlett broke the silence.

"I'm sorry about what I did. I guess I just was angry at the world, myself, everyone around me."

"It's ok Scar, you don't have to apologize" Avery said.

"Why were you drinking yesterday?"

"I was feeling a lot of emotions and I didn't know how to deal with them. Don't do what I did, there are better ways of coping"

"Yeah I know. It was cause of me wasn't it?"

"What! No never"

"Your a terrible liar"

"I'm not lying, it wasn't because of you"

"I just tried to kill myself after all the shit we've been through together. That's not fair to you guys"

"I understand"

Bzzz

"Oh I just got a text" Scarlett said.

"Who's it from?"

"Matt"

"Ooooooohhh" Me and Avery said.

"Oh shut up you guys, he's just coming over to talk for awhile, with Stacy of course"

"Mhm" I said still smiling.

"You guys are annoying" Scarlett said smiling. Then she took the half empty bottle of vodka that was sitting on the table and tried to chug it. I of course took it away from her.

"Really Scar" I said.

She took it back and finished it. We both stared at her.

"What? I like alcohol" She said walking back to her room.

"Night guys" Scarlett said.

"What are we gonna do with her?" Avery said.

"I don't even know" I said smiling.
