? Chapter 29?
Written by: Tamara Blair
? Claribel’s P.O.V?
I quickly took a cab to the address of the bar that Isaac was.
I can’t believe Adrian got drunk, he knows so well that he isn’t supposed to be drinking, what the h*ell is wrong with him?
I got to the bar and i saw Isaac with a drunk Adrian,at least he was awake but he kept pouting like a baby.
“Thank Goodness you are here” Isaac said as he saw me.
I went over to Adrian,he looked away the minute he saw me.
“What is wrong with you? Why have you become so stupid and reckless?Why did you drink? Do you suddenly want to die,huh?”
He only scoffed and didn’t spare me a glance.
I walked back to where Isaac was standing.
“What happened exactly?”
“Well,he called me and started saying some gibberish things that i didn’t understand,so i asked where he was but he ended the call,i just managed to track his phone down.
I was told by the security guard that he is banned from this bar because he beat up two guys badly”
It’s so ironic that whenever Adrian gets into a fight,he hardly gets a hit on him.
“He’s not supposed to drink”
“Because of his condition” Isaac said and i looked at him.
“How..how did you…
“Claribel,am Adrian’s closet friend”
“So he told you?”
“No,i figured it out myself,i noticed that he doesn’t drink or have any food that contains fat so i did my research,he told me himself last week”
I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.
“What do we do now?”
“I will drive him home”
“I will go with you, let’s just get him in the car”
We walked over to where Adrian sat,i tried to hold his hands but he resisted.
“Adrian,let me help you,we need to go home”
“I don’t need your help,Claribel”
“You do,you are so drunk,am surprised you even mentioned my name”
“No,i won’t go with you,i won’t let you hurt me”
“Hurt you? I would never hurt you,so let’s go”
“I SAID NO!!” He yelled so loud making me flinch back in fear.
“Don’t worry,Clary,i will take him to my car,he will stay at the back while you in the front”
“Okay” i said sadly,he really doesn’t want to see me anymore
Isaac suceeded in putting Adrian at the back seat where he fell asleep immediately.
We finally got to his house,i rang the doorbell while Isaac brought Adrian out of the car.
The front door opened and Adrian’s mom showed up.
“Hey,Claribel, where is..oh my goodness,did he drink?”She asked with so much worry on her face.
“Y..yeah,he did and i really don’t kmow why”
“Bring him inside”
Isaac dragged him in and laid him on the couch, Adrian’s mom went into the kitchen and came back with a small box.
She squatted in front of Adrian and from the box,she brought out a syringe that had some liquid inside.
“What’s that?”
“Well,his doctor said that if he ever drinks,i should inject him with this,it will flush all the alcohol from his system”
She injected him with it and after a few minutes, Adrian woke up ,he had this expression that he wanted to throw up.
His mom immediately brought out a small bucket where he vomited everything.
After vomiting, he went back to sleep.
“He’s asleep,i never thought he would drink,what happened?”
“I have no idea,Aunt, Adrian has never drank” Isaac said and Adrian’s mom sighed
Why did he drink? Is it because of me?
It can’t be,he is only punishing himself and not me.
“Thanks so much,Isaac, it’s pretty late,i think you should go home”
“Okay,Aunt..Claribel,do you want me to drop you off?”
“Uh..no,no, I will stay here, thanks anyway”
Isaac left Adrian’s house leaving me with his mom,Adrian has alot of explaining to do,well not to me because he practically hates me but to his mom.
“You and Adrian aren’t really on good terms,are you?”
“..No,Aunt,he doesn’t want to talk to me anymore”
“Why?” She asked and I sighed.
“We..we kssed like two weeks ago and since then he didn’t want to talk to him,we kissed again at the school’s bonfire,that was our final fight”
“Wait..who always kisses first? You or him?”
“Him” i answered, Adrian’s mom smiled widely.
“You love him?” She asked and my eyes widen in shock.
“Um..um
“Claribel,tell me the truth”
“Yes, Aunt,i really do but i don’t think he…
“Adrian is a stubborn and difficult child,he was even worse when he was little,i already lost all hope that he could ever be able to speak to someone without yelling or venting anger.
But when he came to America and changed school,he started opening up to me and it’s all because of you, the first time Adrian told me he loves me,i cried because he has never told me that.
You don’t know how much of a better version you bring out in my son”
“I really don’t know what to do”
“Fight for him, he’s stubborn but show him how much you really love him”
“Thank you”
“No problem..now, help me take him to his room”
We managed to take him to his room,we laid him on his bed.
“Let’s go” Adrian’s mom whispered,i tried to walk away but i felt his hand on my wrist.
“Don’t go,Clary, please don’t go” He said with his eyes still closed,i guess he is still sleeping.
I tried to release myself fromhis grip but he held it firmly.
“Just stay with him,he is not going to let go of that hand”
“Are you okay with it?”
“Of course,you are the only girl i trust with my son that wouldn’t try to sleep with him”She said and we both giggled.
“Goodnight”
She walked out and closed the door behind her.
I laid on Adrian’s massive bed,i stayed on the edge but he pulled me closer making us so closer to each other, I could feel his breath on my face.
His arms went around my waist firmly,how can someone have so much strength when he is asleep.
I looked up at his beautiful face,his lips are pouted and it makes me want to kss him,his hair is relaxing on his forehead,i used my hand to push it backward.
“I..i won’t give you the chance to hurt me,Claribel” He said in a sleepy manner.
“I would never hurt you, Adrian because i love you so so much”
“You.. you are doing things to me that i don’t understand, you seem to have control over me and i hate it”
What does he mean by that? Control over him?
He didn’t say anything again,i also slept off in his arms.

THE NEXT DAY.
I woke up before Adrian and carefully slip off his grip on me,i looked at him sleep, he’s so handsome and you are not even trying.
“Maybe just one kss,he won’t know” i said to myself.
I bent over and placed on kss on his l!ps,then his forehead.
Today is Saturday so no school,i went downstairs and Adrian’s mom was making breakfast which smelt so good.
“Good morning, Aunt”
“Morning,Claribel,did you sleep well last night?”
“I sure did” i said making us both laugh.
“Have breakfast with us”
“Okay”
We started eating and talking about girls stuff, Adrian’s mom is so easy to talk to.
We were still talking when we heard footsteps by the stairs,it was Adrian,he changed from what he wore last night to a grey hoodie and black sweatpants with a head band on his head.
“Why does my head hurt so much?” He asked with his head in his hand.
“Because you got drunk, dummy” His mom said,he looked at my direction then shock was written on his face.
“What are you doing here?”
“Isaac and I brought you home after you got drunk”
“So i don’t see Isaac anywhere,why are you still here?”
“Adrian,be nicer to her , she helped you and she would have left if you didn’t beg her to stay”
“What? Then i was really drunk last night,i would never beg her to stay,i don’t need her”
He doesn’t remember that happened yesterday,how he wanted to stay me with him all night,how he held so tight like i was going to disappear any minute.
“I only came to your rescue because you are my friend, Adrian,i really want us to out the last two weeks of our life behind us”
“I don’t want you to be close to me anymore,i don’t”
“And why’s that? What have i done?”
“It’s what you have already done,you are doing this to me that i don’t understand”
“What did i do?”
He paced back and forth and ran his hand through his hair so fast,His mom just watched us like a movie.
“You make me feel vulnerable and willing to do anything for you, it’s like you have full control over me and i hate it, that’s why i need you far away from me”
“That’s the same way you make me feel,i mean look at me,am in your house when just earlier we argued, the only difference is that i love the feeling”
“Oh, please,Claribel,we both know that’s the same way you felt for Dylan and Derek so don’t make it feel special”
“You are wrong,Adrian, let’s just talk about everything”
“No,am not talking,i need you to leave,Stop acting like a clingy b*tch and leave already”
“ADRIAN!” His mom called him out of annoyance.
“Did you just call me a clingy b*tch?”
“Yes”
“WELL,AM NOT”
“THEN STOP ACTING LIKE ONE” He yelled in my face and i slapped him,tge whole room was quiet.
Adrian touched his face and chuckled softly.
“Am such an idiot for falling in love with someone like you” i said and a shock expression on his face.
“What did you say?”
“You heard it,am in love with you, Dummy”
I hit him on his chest and pushed him,he moved back a little bit.
“Am so in love with you but you are just being a j*erk”
“Then stop loving me”
“I can’t,i tried but i can’t”
“Well, that’s the problem,we don’t work,we can’t work”
“I know,you are gradually became the last two pieces of a slow grenade, every time we come together,we blow up in each other’s faces,we are to toxic for each other.
I think we should just stay away from each other, forever.. Goodbye”
I took my things and walked out the door,i started running so i wouldn’t cry but it didn’t work.
