Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 24

*****Erika's POV*****

I downed the alcohol, drinking it like a camel.

I wanted more, more of this stuff that would help me sleep.

I wanted to forget and it would help me forget too.

"Go easy on the drink, Rika" Paula tried to pry the glass off my fingers but I just tightened my grip instead.

"Why? Why should I?" My words were beginning to get slurred, a sign I was on my way to being overwhelmed by this drink. And I had no regrets.

"Because we don't need you puking all over this floor and messing up the bed" Kat added.

"Have I ever done that?" I grabbed the bottle and poured myself another glass.

"Maybe she needs it, Paula. She does look like she needs it" Kat said, studying me as I threw my head back a little to gulp half of the drink I had poured for myself.

"And us. She needs us more importantly." Paula supported, putting in her own quota.

"Yes, I do need you girls and I am glad you both came" I attempted to hug my two best friends, it was loose and awkward, but I didn't care.

"I think you've had enough" Kat tried to take the glass but I refused letting go. "How is your grip still strong even after you're intoxicated?"

I giggled. "Because I am stronger"

"When was the last time we've been this drunk?" I asked them.

"It's been awhile." Kat agreed, already understanding what I meant.

"I see your point now" Paula too agreed.

"You need to be careful with the drink, Paula" Kat adviced.
