Annoying

A/N: Sorry it took a little while for me to get this chapter up...my muse decided to ditch me :P

Big thanks to:

Fayden: Thanks so much for your review! I'm glad you like how I made the KyoKim thing happen...that was something I really struggled with because I didn't want it to just pop up out of the blue. Awkward situations are very entertaining :)

Anyone who's reading this!


Chapter 10:

Just as I said I would, I clung to the bar like my life depended on it.

Mentally, it did.

I think Kaoru was starting to get slightly worried at my alcohol intake, so I decided that it was time to take a little break.

I stood up, did my best not to stumble, and upon questioning looks, explained, “Bathroom.”

I carefully made my way towards where the restrooms are, hoping that I wouldn’t end up falling on my face in the middle of that floor.

That wouldn’t be good.

I opened the door to the bathrooms, and walked in.

For a bar/club thing, the bathrooms were surprisingly clean.

There were a few women standing at some sinks fixing their make up, hair, etc.

Most of their expressions became disdainful as they looked at me.

Under other circumstances I would have been pissed, but at the moment, I just didn’t give a damn.

So, I ignored them all and went to a sink.

As I looked in the mirror, I understood their disdainful looks.

I looked like hell.

My skin was still pale, my hair was mess that would take a miracle to get untangled, my lips were slightly puffy from my earlier activities with Kyo, and my mascara was a bit smeared.

I was an utter train wreck.

I grabbed a paper towel, wet it, and began to clean up my mascara.

What the hell was making me so damn upset anyway?

Oh, yeah; Kyo.

Kyo who kissed me.

Kyo who had barely even looked at me since he kissed me.

I wasn’t sure whether I should be pissed, upset, or both.

Maybe all this was confusing for him too.

As much as I’d never admit it to anyone, after Alex, I had the mentality that all relationships are always doomed.

Yes, I know; cliché and stupid.

Did I even want a relationship with Kyo?

Well there’s the million dollar question…too bad I didn’t know the answer to it.

I knew I felt something different with Kyo then I did with Alex, but I wasn’t sure if it was good or not.

I think it was good.

I’ve been wrong before, though.

Whatever, I wasn’t exactly sober enough to contemplate all this at the moment.

I shook my head (which I think did more harm then good) and walked out of the restroom.

I went back to where I had been before and downed yet another glass of beer.

You really don’t want to now how much I’ve had by now.

“That’s it. I’m cutting you off,” Kaoru said, pushing the empty glass away from me.

“Whatever,” I slurred.

I was way too far gone to care about a whole lot at the moment.

“Are you okay?” Toshiya asked me.

“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t be?” I said, slightly giggly now.

He obviously thought I was psycho, but didn’t say anything more to me.

Even Kyo was giving me a look.
For some reason, I could never read his looks.

“Okay. It’s time to go,” Kaoru said, pulling me up by the arm.

“Nyeeehhhh,” I grunted while being dragged up.

I really didn’t see what the big deal was.

Kyo said it; I’m the alcohol lover.

At least the car ride wasn’t awkwardly quiet.

Die and Toshiya made sure of that.

When we reached the hotel, Kaoru helped me to our room, making sure I didn’t drop dead in the middle of the hallway or anything.

“What happened between you and Kyo?” he asked me, after he helped me onto the bed.

Damn him.

I couldn’t lie while drunk. It was beyond impossible for me. Kaoru knew that too.

Not that I could tell a very convincing lie even when I was sober…

“Stuff,” I answered.

It may have been a vague answer, but technically it was true.

“What kind of stuff?” he asked me dryly, rolling his eyes.

“We kind of kissed,” I told him.

Well, actually me and Kyo more like…uh…made out…but making out still involves kissing.

“Kind of?” he asked me, raising an eyebrow.

How did he do that? I have been trying to figure out how to do that single eyebrow-raise thing since I was fourteen.

“Yes! We kissed! Okay?!?!?”

Either he didn’t notice or didn’t care about my frustration.

“So what’s between you two now? A relationship?”
Of course he just had to ask the question that I had no idea whatsoever how to answer.

“That’s just it! I don’t know! It’s all ridiculously confusing and I’m tired of being confused, dammit!!!”

“Well, do you want there to be a relationship?” he asked, pushing some hair out of my face.

“I don’t know…you know how my last relationship went…that’s not something I really want to go through again,” I said quietly.

“I can guarantee you that Kyo is very different from that bastard,” Kaoru told me.

I had no clue what to say to that.

Kaoru didn’t say anything else either, but he had a very thoughtful look on his face.

I’m not sure I even want to know what he was thinking.

I wondered if he even knew the full extent of what had happened between me and Kyo earlier.

If he did find out, hopefully he wouldn’t decide to bash Kyo’s face in.

Than again, it might knock some sense into the vocalist.

I seriously doubt that was Kaoru’s plan, though.

If Kaoru even had a plan.

Who knows with him.

Like I said earlier; I am nowhere near sober enough to be thinking about all of this.

Right now I needed sleep.

Tomorrow was going to be painful.

Probably physically and mentally painful.


A/N: Sorry this chapter was kind of short, but I thought that this would be a good place to end it. I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible. I'm already halfway done with writing it :)
