I wasn't sure how much time Robin needed. I felt like I gave him plenty of time. Four whole days. That's a long time. My fifth day was around the corner and I was sure he wasn't going to show up, but I still had to go back to the park. In the back of my mind I had hoped he would be there, everyday when I went I prayed that he would be there, but he never was.
"Fuck this." I ran out of my room and into my dad's alcohol cabinet. I know I shouldn't be doing this but my body just magnetized itself to a bottle of Jack Daniel. It tasted like peppermint. I felt like that wasn't right but I continued to down the bottle.
For about ten minutes I felt on top of the world. The whole way to the park, I was giving myself a pep talk. "So what, Robin doesn't show? That's fine. I'm a independent person and I can do without him. It's not like he controls my life. If he doesn't show, just forget about him. You can continue life as it was before." Damn, drunk Chase really knows what he's talking about. You know, that's what drunk Chase was saying. But as soon as I saw Robin, I instantly forgot about everything I just said. I staggered my way to Robin falling about a thousand times.
"Chase?" He grabbed a hold of my shoulders but I wasn't into that so I pushed his hands off of me. "Have you been drinking? You smell terrible." Robin grabbed my hand and pulled me on the grass while I put up a fight the whole way down. "Dude?"
"Robin!" I yelled at him for no reason. He was about three feet away but I still felt the need to yell at him.
"Yes?"
"I am so so sorry." I don't know why Robin looked so surprised. As if he wasn't expecting me to say that but he definitely knew I was. "I fucked up. I know I did. You don't have to tell me." I was about to spill everything that was on my mind. "I didn't mean for all that to happen. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You probably hate me and I don't blame you."
"Oh my god, Chase."
"Shut up and listen to me." I saw a smile slip onto Robin's lips. "I told my brother,"
"You told your brother?"
"Do you not know what shut up and listen means?" I sighed and continued. "Robin I just want you to forgive me. I'm sorry."
"Chase, calm down." Which I didn't. I just had so many things to say to him but I didn't know how to tell him. "Listen to me." He placed his cold hands on my warm cheeks. "I don't hate you. Okay?" I nodded. "Don't think I do because I don't." I nodded again. "I am the one that should be apologizing. I left you and I know that wasn't the best thing. I just had to think about things. So I'm sorry. Okay?" I nodded. "Great." He moved his lips towards mine and softly kissed me. Even when he kissed me he was so gentle. "You taste like whiskey." He whispered against my lips.
"Sorry." Robin laughed then kissed me again. I placed my arms around his necks while he rubbed my cheeks. I'm pretty sure this is how you kiss someone.
"What did you drink?" I placed my head on Robin's chest so I could hear his heartbeat.
"Jack Daniels."
"That is such a bitter tasting whiskey. Especially with out coke. I don't know why you chose that one." I shrugged because to be honest, I don't know why I did either. "You're a mess." He rubbed my back while I began to fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. "I'm sorry, Chase." I felt his hands mess with my tangly hair. "You should brush your hair once in awhile." I shrugged again.
"Don't judge the way I self care." Robin's body vibrated while he laughed. "I'm about to pass out, I think I drank too much." His body vibrated again. "This is no laughing matter, Robin. I could die!"
"No you won't." Robin grabbed my phone out of my pocket. "What's your brother's contact name?"
"Asshole."
"Really?"
"No. It's Jace."
"Got it." Robin activated Siri asking to call Jace. "Hey, it's Robin." I could hear how nervous he was. "Umm, I'm with Chase. Yeah. Uhh, I'm going to bring him home but you might have to wait for me outside. No, no. He's just drunk. I don't know. Apparently he drank Jack Daniels. Anyways, I'm bringing him home so yeah. I'll tell you when I'm there so we can get him inside. Thanks, bye." Robin ended the call then put my phone back into my pocket. "You really are a handful." Robin had to pull me up then help me stand because lord knows I couldn't do that on my own.
"Robin?"
"What's up?" Robin guided me to his car having to pull me up every so often.
"You went with Serenity, right? I mean after I kissed you."
"Don't worry about that." I dramatically stopped making Robin push me in the slightest bit.
"Tell me. Did you?" I wasn't going to budge 'till he told me but then again I was drunk so Robin got me to start walking again.
"Yes." He seemed so ashamed. I kind of felt bad that I brought it up.
"What did you guys do?" Robin shook his head at me while he opened the passenger side door.
"You don't have to worry about that, okay?" I fell face first on to the seat making Robin laugh in the slightest bit.
"But what if I am?"
"Don't." And we ended it at that. Robin didn't seem to want to talk about it and I think I was too drunk out of my mind to bring it up again. "Chase, let me tell your brother we are almost here."
"No. Texting and driving is not allowed." Robin smiled and held out his hand for my phone. So I placed it on his hand and he did the siri thing again.
"I'm about two minutes away." And he was right. Exactly two minutes later we were at my house. "Come on you big baby. Let's get out of the car." Jace met us at the passenger side where I clung to Robin. "Hey, I got your brother."
"I can tell." Jace was still acting rude towards Robin which pissed me off in the slightest bit.
"I'll leave him in your hands. Sorry about that." Robin had to peel me off of him and pass me to Jace who said thank you and took me into my room.
"You drank dad's whiskey, huh?"
"Jace my head hurts can we not talk about this."
"It was his fault right? The reason why you drank." I sighed and fell on my bed.
"No."
"Don't lie to me. I know that's why."
"Well then why did you ask?" I raised my voice ever so slightly so Jace had to tell me to shut up.
"He made you drink. That's not good. You see? He's bad. Look what he's done to you." I rolled my eyes, which he couldn't see because I was face first on my bed.
"If you are just going to sit here and talk trash then you can leave."
"You aren't noticing it, Chase. You would have never drank alcohol."
"He hasn't corrupted my mind! Now if you are still going to continue to talk about it you can leave." Jace got up with a sigh and just left my room.
