An Endless Date

Four Days to Valentine's Day.

I don't know if I am hungry, dead, or just hungover. It's the next day morning and I can't feel my body except for my head. I never had a severe headache like this. I looked around the place and can imagine what mess happened the other night. I am laying on the floor with a pillow on me and a bedsheet under my head. I tried to stand up but all I can do is just sit. I sat for some time holding my head in my hands. After drinking some water from the bottle beside me, I stood up and made my way through the chips and beer cans on the floor toward the bedroom where Lucas is sleeping on the bed without a shirt on.

I went near the window and slid the curtains aside as the sunlight filled the room. It seems like a pretty morning and the streets are silent and the chirps of the birds made Lucas's Garden feel beautiful. I took some time to feel that moment. I searched for my phone, but it was not on me. I searched through my pockets and in the hall where I fell asleep, but couldn't find it. I tried to wake Lucas up but he was not even moving and he was dreaming about some food. I searched the sofa and luckily find it under it. As I turned it on, the screen showed 10:15 – 9th Feb. There was 2 missed calls from my mom. I wore my shoes and hurried home.

I waited for a street away from my home and set my clothes and hair. I checked my breath and it didn't feel alcoholic. That's why we choose beer. It won't give you much of a smell the next day and not even much hangover except when you drink more than needed. Like the last night. I still have a headache. I wanted to go to my room silently but my mom and dad are sitting on the front lawn facing the other side. I tried to open the front door but my mom called as she heard me.

"Yeah Mom, it's me. Coming." I said as I went to the lawn

"Finally, you are home," my mom said sitting in a chair beside my dad who was reading a magazine

"Mom, I can explain..." I said as she interrupted me

"It's okay, Ben called me and informed me that you boys are having a movie night at Lucas's and that your phone died. I just called you in the morning just to know where you are."

"Well, yeh, movie night, that's what happened," I said

"So, which movies have you watched?" said my dad

"We had to select between X-Men and some classics, but we ended up watching Hunger Games," I said

"Well, so you watched all three?"

"Yeh, total night."

"Yeah, can see in your eyes, you didn't sleep at all. Have breakfast and rest, it's Sunday anyways." My dad said adding "ahh! I love Sundays, won't you dear?"

"Yeah, Sundays are for you. You go, eat something, and rest. You want me to come inside Will?" said my mom

"No, it's okay. I am not hungry; I'll just go and rest for some time."

"Okay then, well yeah, Sophie's here. Max and her watching tv in the living room. Say hello to her, don't be rude. Ok?"

"MOM! I am not rude to her; I just don't talk much."

"That's called rude." My dad replied

"Ok fine. I'm going now."

I went in from the back porch and they were watching Love Island on TV. Seriously, how can a man see that shit?

"Hi Sophie, how are you?" I said

"Hey William, I didn't know that you went out. I'm fine, how are you?"

"Yeah good."

"He's been out all night," Max said

"Why do you care."
