Adelina's POV:
Spending my night that way is nothing new to me. It' not very often that I get a good nights rest.
The morning after has many outcomes depending on the nights events. Whether it be the demons I call fears and insecurities racing to the finish line, winner gets to occupy my mind or the lack of emotions keeping my eyes pried open, suddenly finding the wall fascinating.
My slumber could be described the same way during these times. The differences only slight, like a book being turned into a movie. My dreamless doze being my favorite seeing as the only other option being trying to outrun ghosts of past events.
I'm not a fast runner I guess.
I got into bed around 1am but only slept from two to four. At ten o'clock I notice the sun peeking out from under the blinds and hesitantly get out of bed to not make any noise. I could hear the soft sound of humming and the toaster popping from the kitchen.
I look around for my phone and finally find it in the pile of yesterday's clothes. I press the home button to check the time and notice my battery is at 3%. Knowing I have to make a phone call later today, I look for a charger only to remember that I don't have one.
I realise I have to ask either June or Jack for one and dread instantly fills my stomach. I decide I have to put on my big girl panties and just go ask because I really need to be able to use it.
The floorboards creek as I slowly make my way to where I think I remember the kitchen to be. I was wrong.
Shit.
Kitchen...Kitchen
Where the fuck is the kitchen?
I quickly decide that I should wander around to avoid looking like a dumbass and if anyone asks what I'm doing, I'll just say that I was exploring.
So I start walking, and walking, and finally some more walking until I finally end up in the kitchen. What are the odds that it was the last room I find?
The sight infront of me is quite humorous. June is dancing around the kitchen completely ignoring Jack as he sits at the breakfast bar rambling about something in the newspaper.
"E-Excuse me?"
My voice comes out more quiet than I anticipate.
"Goodmorming," June exclaims "how did you sleep? Not too bad I hope. Are you hungry? Would you like me to make you something?"
"June, honey, she can only answer one question at a time." Jack says not looking up.
"Oops, I guess that's right. Anything for breakfast?"
"No that's alright, I'm not very hungry." I said.
June just nodded her head and turns back to whatever she was doing while and I just stand here awkwardly.
"I have a question" I spoke up.
Yes, dear?" June says looking over her shoulder.
"Do you by chance have a charger I could borrow? I just had to leave mine at the old house but I can't take it back now, I'm not allowed in there..." I ramble.
"Oh dear of course, it's not a problem. No worries. I think there's one in the living room, close to the lamp."
"Alright thank you very much. I'll go find that now" I say as I started to walk back towards the door before stopping again, remembering the other thing I wanted to ask
"Also, do you mind if I leave for a couple hours today?"
This time it was Jack who responds.
"What for?"
"I wanted to go see some friends."
I'm going to go anyways, I'm just hoping they'll make it easy.
"Yes that's alright. Just be quiet if you come back late, be back and take our numbers in case you forget where we live."
"That sounds good, thanks"
I put their numbers in my phone and turn to go to the living room to find the charger.
After I make my call, I'm taking a nap. My personality has not returned to me and I'm starting to get irritated.
I retrieve the charger and make my way back to the room I'm staying in. I look around and carefully take in every detail of my sourroundings trying to get back to the room on the first try.
I'm able to memorise the floor plan pretty quickly and end up where I want to be easily. I plug my phone is and sit on the floor next to the nightstand to be able to charge my phone while I use it.
I quickly peak back at the door to make sure I remembered to close the door and sure enough I didn't. I groan while putting the phone on the floor and getting up to close it. I look both ways out the door just in case and shut it somewhat quietly.
Sitting back down, I hurry to pull up my contacts and scroll to call who I want to.
"Hello?" a groggy voice says from the other end.
"Hi Danny" I say.
"Adelina? You good? What's up"
"I'm... alright, listen I need double what I usually get."
"I heard what happened to your stepdad."
Irrelevant.
"Yea..." I trail off "anyway, do you think I could get it for tonight?"
"Addi, I know this is probably about what happened. This isn't the way to cope."
"Danny, I'm paying you. I don't think you get a say in what I do and don't do."
"No, Addi, I'm not selling you shit. This is going to get out of hand."
"It wasn't a fucking request Danny."
"Â I can't-"
"Fucking please" I say a bit harshly.
" Listen," I continue " they don't got another guardien for me. I'm probably not staying in this town for very fucking long. I need some to make last. Ok? I just need to make it last so I need a little more than usual. I'm sure your supplier will be real happy with you."
There was silence on the other end.
"I don't give a shit what my fucking supplier thinks Adds. I'm not about to let you fuck up your life."
I wasn't lying when I said we were good friends when we were younger. We drifted, yes, but he still looks out for me and I do the same for him.
"Danny, you know how I am. I don't think I'll be able to find a dealer for a while."
I hear him sigh.
"Get me my shit. Please."
He takes a few moments before replying.
"Fine fine. Double for tonight. Anything else?"
"I'll stick with my usual. Maybe xannies and molly too."
"You got it. Sorry again about your stepdad. See you tonight."
"Thanks dude you're the best. Your house?"
"I know I am. Yea my house."
"8?"
"Sure"
"Alright bye."
"Bye"
I sigh and set my phone down on the nightstand and get back into bed for my nap. I check the clock to see it's almost 10:45. I feel like fucking shit.
As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out like a light and I drift into my haunted sleep. Soon enough I'll wake up hopefully I'll be back to normal by then.
