Drown

T'was King who spoke, and he is not alone. The Hoover brothers came with him and is now interrogating me. The moment I opened my condominium door they barged in and shots me with questions, including that.

"W-what?" I stuttered.

They all look at me with judgment, their gaze were piercing into my soul, studying every bit about me.

"Don't lie" Tungsten said and he approached my place.

"She won't talk…" its Oxygen this time, he look around my unit with his hand put in his jeans pocket. "Unless, we force her" he suggested.

I frowned. Suddenly I remember our teenage days, when they use to do silly things just to make me talk.

"You won't!" I shouted. In panic.

But all four of them grinned like a devil, my lips quiver. No choice.

RUN!

I took my wallet and phone from the center and ran fast! I successfully got out from my unit but I didn't stop there, I run towards the elevator. Thankfully it was available. When I saw them approaching I forcefully pushed the close b.u.t.ton.

"Roan!" King shouted my surname like he doesn't care if he disturbed the neighbor.

And when it close just the right moment I heaved a sigh. d.a.m.n you boys!

I took my phone from my pocket and called a friend of mine way back in med school.

"Maze!"

"Oh, wow. What can I do for you senorita?"

"Where are you?!"

"ah, why?"

"Just answer me!"

"GTC, why?"

"Where exactly!"

"Starbucks, inside the super mall the one from the entrance"

"Good, wait for me there!"

"Huh? Girl, you okay?"

"No! just wait for me there! d.a.m.n it!"

"Fine! You b.i.t.c.h! You want me to wait for you but you wouldn't even tell m---" I cut the call, I have no time for her whines right now.

But life is f.u.c.king me up because the moment I walked out of the elevator is also the moment the other elevator opened and it revealed my cousins. Sht.

I run towards my car, thank goodness it was in my wallet!

"Wyett Audelia!" It's King who shouted.

"f.u.c.k you!" I shout back.

"You brat!" He shouts again.

"You wh.o.r.e!" I look back and all of them are chasing me, Even Nickel!

Seriously, Men!

I immediately starts the car engine and left them chasing their own breath.

I drove fast, scared that they might stall me again, thankfully they gave up. Well I think?

When I arrived, Maze is already waiting for me with her knitted brows. When she saw me she roll her eyes.

"You look like sht"

"Well h.e.l.lo

"Tss, now what happened? You're panting"

"My cousin are at it again" I stated, p.i.s.sed.

"Huh?''

I roll my eyes, slow.

"They are at it again! THAT" slowly her mouth parted and she winced.

"Seriously, your cousins are crazy" I can't argue with that.

"Help me, please" I gave her the best puppy look i can give and this b.i.t.c.h gave me a disgusting look in return.

"And what is it again?'' she b.i.t.c.hily asked.

"Let me stay with you for tonight"

"Oh no!" she exclaimed. I frowned.

"What?"

"Girl, I can't!"

"And the h.e.l.l why?"

"Just----"

"You b.i.t.c.h just for today okay! I just need a place to stay for tonight! It's not like a hard request and you live alone!"

"I don't!---"

"What!"

"Ooops" she embarra.s.singly shut her mouth.

"You have a live in partner?! You whoooreee!"

"Shut up! He just barged in and I can't do anything, okay?!"

Wow, she actually look problematic than me, but of course she's just a drama queen so it's not really a big deal than what it seems it is.

I look at her with suspicion, "Liar" I said and she rolled her eyes then pouted.

"I think I know who it is"

"Hmmp"

"It's Silver?" I asked even though I'm sure it was him.

"Yeah" and she sighed, like she's carrying all the burden here on earth.

"Marupok" I said that and she threw me a glare but remain silent.

"Well, I guess that makes the both of us?" and I laughed. "I'm back at it again"

"Wow! You're worse than me!"

We look at each other eyes and then we both heaved a sigh.

"We're stupid, aren't we?" she said.

~~

In the end I didn't sleep with her, now I'm in a hotel and still haven't call Zach, since this afternoon after my meeting with Maze I kept ignoring his calls and message. I don't know, I just feel like though.

I laid on the hotel bed, good lord. I feel empty, I miss zach but I don't want to see him at the same time. Plus my cousins are getting on my nerves.

I look at the time, it's already eight O'clock in the evening. My food still haven't arrived so I decided to take a bath, hoping it might refresh me.

Before I gone here I bought some clothes and Maze helped me before she took off, a pair of clothe for tonight and for tomorrow, worse come to worse I might stay here for a few days not just tonight.

While taking a shower, I stared blankly in the bathroom ceiling, I chuckled. It feels weird, I think I'm going crazy.

I kept telling myself this is just a phase, everything will be okay soon. You know the feeling that you want to stay but at the same time you feel suffocated? It's exactly like that.

I know at this rate I can't solve anything, d.a.m.n girl. I feel tired.

"The fvckk"

I walk out of the bathroom area and then I heard a bell rang, indicating that my food service has arrived. I immediately dress up and when I finished, I opened the door.

But it was not the room service, its Zach and he looks mad.

I bit my lip, and I know exactly why.
