natalie huffs, a swig of her own beer taken. she and dani were so on and off ; sheโs surprised that vans surprised.
โyep. she found my stash under my bed and lost her shit.โ
it was just weed and a couple of pills, but it was enough for dani. nat wasnโt worried, though. they +
" again ? no shit ? "
van asked surprised, nearly choking on the sip of beer she'd just taken. she plops down on the sofa across from nat, legs tucking underneath her.
" what happened? i thought you guys were good? "
nat opens the case of beer, one grabbed for each of them and she passes it to van.
โnope. momโs working too and dani dumped me again, so. totally free.โ
huffing, she pops the top on the beer and takes a long sip.
she shuts the door behind nat, watching as she made herself at home ( she practically was ).
" nope. tai's got family stuff and vicky's working. "
van takes one of the beers and pops the top, taking a drink.
" no plans for you either? "
โyou know it,โ natalie says, walking into the trailer and kicking her shoes off. she sets the beer down on the coffee table before glancing over at van. โyou didnโt have any plans, did you?โ
van doesn't even check who's behind the door because she knows that knock anywhere. wooden frame swings open in one motion and a smile instantly graces her lips
" we partying tonight? "
she says as she steps aside to allow nat in.
natalie takes the joint back, one more hit taken before she puts it out in the ash tray. โiโm not gonna be with someone who gives me ultimatums. sheโs trying to make it seem like i chose drugs over her.โ
natalie didnโt even feel like she had a problem; sure, sheโd gotten more +
โas if thatโs what you actually think,โ shauna scoffs, but she takes another hit and then another before giving the rest to natalie, she shouldnโt really be smoking on her pills anyway.
โyouโre like obsessed with her, even before she dated you, youโll be back together in like +
โshe still did it,โ natalie points out, taking another hit before passing it back to shauna. she puts the little box back, settling back against the arm of the couch.
โdoesnโt matter now. dani dumped me. she can suffer,โ she says, her feelings still clearly hurt but she +
โto be fair, i didnโt tell melissa to break her bones,โ the brunette points out with a sigh, but she doesnโt really expect natalie to believe her either. she wished someone would, because now that she was home? thinking about stuff sheโd done made her feel sicker than she +
natalie takes it back, taking another hit before flicking the ashes in the ash tray. โyeah, that sounds like a night from hell. but dani most likely wonโt talk to you.โ
well, she knew it for a fact; dani wouldnโt be nearly as forgiving as natalie was. not that she fully +
although she knows she shouldnโt, shauna takes the joint, inhale deep before she holds and then moves to exhale, passing it back.
โdaniโs probably gonna be there, youโd just be suffering with me, wouldnโt ask you to come.โ plus, sheโs planning to not feel well half way through.+
โshit, that sounds awful for you,โ natalie says, licking the joint wrapper to seal it before she slips it between her lips.
she lights it, taking a deep inhale before blowing it out and offering it to her. โiโd go just for moral support, but i already picked up a shift for +
โi donโt wanna go,โ shauna mutters, first truth sheโs spoken in a while. โbut as jackieโs horrible best friend, i feel like if i dont, ill look awful,โ thereโs a shudder and she takes another sip of her drink.
โplus she told me that she invited jeff because if it was a jackie +
โstill, shit sucks,โ natalie says, june having been more of a mom to her than her own mom was so she could only imagine how shauna actually felt.
face scrunches up and she works on rolling a joint. โyeah, she called the other day and invited me to that thing sheโs doing for +
โand she leaves me with those fucking losers,โ shauna scoffs, โif she was gonna take herself out, she shouldโve at least pushed my dad in front of a car first.โ
itโs nice to feel normal for once, and sure maybe sheโs sad, but she canโt mope forever. โjackieโs mom said i could +
