A Dark Drunken Night

She had enough, she felt so angry she could have killed her little brother. But she knew she didn't want to. so she decided to run away, just for a little while, one night would be enough.

She packed her car, and left, she drove 3 suburbs before acknowledging that she was bored, she wanted to drink, but she wasn't old enough to buy it herself. That hadn't stopped her before, but she didn't have any confidence this time, and she really wanted it this time, like she never had before.

So she called a friend, a friend she didn't want to see, but one who was old enough to buy alcohol. And she did want that.

They would not serve either of them while the younger one was in the store, so she had to describe the type of alcohol she wanted to the older one who had very little knowledge of alcohol, and buy it from a different bottle shop.When they Finlay got the alcohol, 1 bottle of strong spirits for the younger and a four pack of lolly water for the older, they took it to a park, and began to drink, talking of nonsensical things and occasionally having a smoke, even though neither of them regularly smoked.

The mood got darker and darker as dusk began to fall, it was dark enough that the younger allowed the other to put a cigarette out on her, for the temporary relief that pain normally brang her, but which it did not that night. The mood got darker still as dusk came to a close and the night was beginning the older decided to walk home, the younger accompanied her as there was nothing better to be done, and she was craving company. On this long walk it was that the younger mentioned her suicidal inclinations, with the promise of not completing them but the wish that she could.

When they reached the olders house the younger used the toilet and returned to the park alone. She made it the four blocks back to the park before she fell over and threw up, and threw up some more, and crawled a little, and lay on the cold grass in a ball, unable to move long into the night before climbing into the boot of her car and trying to sleep.

It was two weeks before the older one mentioned that night, still with a little worry, the younger one pretended it was all over.

The night ended much worse than it had began, but from then on, the younger one has only drunk alcohol when she's been in a good mood.
