Chapter 4: Drunk

Jade's POV

When I came home, I turned on the stove and put the kettle in. I need a hot bath first before eating this take out rice meal I bought.

I felt very exhausted, and I just wanna sleep right now but my neighbor doesn't like the idea. I passed by on his open doorway and saw a lot of guys in there including the owner of the house, Hugo and a girl. She's facing her back on me that I can't recognize her face. Why is she alone in there and all of them were guys drinking their asses up. They were loud talking and laughing but there's no one here have the courage to stop that Hugo guy, he's a gangster and has a lot of guys lurking around this place. Unfortunately, he's only one door away from mine.

My thoughts vanished when I heard a weird noise, it was like something or someone scratching my front door. What the f--is it? Who would do that in the middle of the night?

I almost jumped when two soft knocks came from my door. I shut my eyes and mumbled, 'please leave me alone. I know you're one of the drunk guys in Hugo's.' Then he started scratching again. What the hell is he doing? I walked towards the door and put my ear on it, I heard nothing. But seconds after I heard it again and stopped again. When a minute passed without hearing it again, I slowly and carefully open the door with only an inch just to peek on whoever guy is it. But, I saw nothing. There's no one?!

Is it a ghost or what? No! No Jade. Ghosts are not true. I closed the door again and turn around but jumped when I heard a soft knock. Shit! I cupped my chest and went back on the side of the door, I slowly opened it but I still can't see no one.

I breathe in and exhaled before deciding to open the door wide and I stood on the center of my doorway. If someone is pranking on me I'll smack him out, I'm too tired to play hide and seek with him!

But someone scrached my bare knee, and my eyes landed on a girl sitting and leaning her body on the cold wall beside my door. Oh my god! I crouched down infront of her but her face was covered with her hair.

"I'm going hoooome." She uttered. Gosh! She's too drunk!

"I'm shleepyyy."

"Hey! Don't sleep in here." I said but I think she's fast asleep already. I tapped her shoulder multiple times but to no avail, she didn't respond.

"Mark, where's Lauren?" I heard Hugo's voice.

"I don't know. I'm looking for her too." The guy infront of him said. They were in Hugo's door, they can't see us here because I only had my dim lights on, it's dark where the girl and I are.

"Geez! Bring Max with you and go home now." The gangster instructed with irritation in his voice.

"But, we're only going with Lauren."

"No! I'll take care of her myself. You know I like that girl and now is the perfect timing. Now, go home and leave it to me."

Oh my god! He's planning to rape this girl?! I hate that guy!

"What are you waiting for?! Do you want my guys send you out?" He angrily said and pulled the guy's collar.

"N-no. We'll go now." He lowered his head and Hugo leave him at the door, seconds after someone pushed out of the house, luckily the guy catched him. He's drunk like this girl. How can he handle the two of them alone? Aish! Okay Jade! You're going to let this drunk girl in your house tonight, just to save her from those bad guys!

Uggh! I hate myself! I tried to lift her up but she's too heavy! I need to keep quiet for them not to notice us because Hugo's door was still open and they're having a drunk conversation inside. If they heard noises coming from here, they will immediately find me and her. I held the girl's both hands and pulled her inside. This is the only thing I could do now, she didn't want to wake up, bear with a dirty pants later.

When I reached the single sofa I heard her groaned so I leaned her back on it and put all the strands of her hair at the back, she has a blonde hair and a full bangs. As I stare at her face, she slowly opened her eyes that made me froze in my spot.

"L-leon?" My goodness gracious! Who is this girl?! Is it the convenience store girl? They had the same features, the long hair, the bangs but it's different in color.

"Gosh! It feels weird!" Meeting four different person but same faces. I think I'm going crazy right now! I thought they were only triplets?! Why are the universe playing with me?! Is this the last one or there's more of them? Cause if there is, I cannot handle it anymore! I will lose my mind, really!

"Don't call her weird." What??

"She's special. Not a weirdo." Her eyes still closed but I heard her loud and clear. I will never guess it wrong again, it's Leon's sister who loves her!

"Shay sorey to my babyy." She said with a pout trying to reach me. What the hell is she doing?!

"Leon baby come heree." She talked like a baby and pulled me close to her, but I pushed her away!

"Don't come near me!" Aish! She's a pervert too, like their bro--Jade, she just thought that you are her sister.

"Leon! I'm your shister, Lauren." With half lidded eyes she crawled towards me but when she's near I kicked her thigh and jolted away. She was lying flat on her stomach at the cold floor but she slowly lifting her body up, I watched her wobbling while trying to stand on her feet.

"I jusht want to hug my favorite shister." She ran to me and just as a blink of an eye, she's now hugging me. I was shocked for a moment but when I recovered I punched her shoulder over and over.

"Let go of me! I'm not Leon!" I yelled. I don't care if they will hear me, she's a monster! She let go of me and giggled. What now?

"Leon, I wanna kiss you right now." She's sleepy but continued to annoy me. This girl really!!

"Stop there, you monster." I warned her and stepped back. She step forward with a smirk, she looks like her brother right now. God!

"I said stop." I stepped back again but she did a step forward too.

"I told you--" My back thigh felt the night stand behind me and when I looked at it, I saw a thick book placed on it. I grabbed it and saw the girl running again to reach me and because of my adrenaline rush I throw the book at her and it hits her forehead making her stumbled back, hitting her butt on the floor. She laughed and cupped her forehead.

What the--is she crazy? I thrown it with force and I knew it hurts but why is she laughing?

"It didn't hurts." She happily said while palming her forehead. Gosh! I forgot she's really drunk that her senses are already sleeping even if she's awake.

"Let'sh sleep Leon, I'm sleepy and the house is spinning." She said and pulled her sweatpants down and removed her tank top.

"Oh my god! What are you doing?!" I averted my eyes on her body. She's only wearing a black sports bra and a black panty.

"Sleeping." She went to my small bed and dive on it. She became silent so I looked at her. Fuck! Her back is really sexy, and that small bump of her butt, cute. And her long legs. Geez! What am I thinking?!

"Where would I sleep now?!" I asked the drunk girl while whining like a kid. It's supposed to be a relaxing night, but this drunk sexy woman ruined it and make it even more worse than it was!

I settled myself at the small couch beside, I only took a five minute shower because I don't want this drunk sexy creature to woke up knowing I'm just at the bathroom naked. She's still drunk and probably a sister of a pervert, her hormones may kick in. I crouched and hugged myself, I can't fit in it. It's too small, it's almost a size of a single sofa but I have no choice. I would sleep in here or in the cold floor? Because there's no more space in my single framed bed. I took my only blanket and my pillow, I don't care if she gets cold it's her fault that she removed her clothes.

I woke up, feeling someone is staring at me. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw a blurred image infront of me and when my vision got clearer, I immediately smacked the person's face.

"What the f--" She stopped while cupping her nose. I stood up and pulled the blanket on my body.

"What are you doing?! Why are you on top of me?!" I snapped. I just woke up and she's doing something to me!

"Geez! This is a very great good morning I ever received." She sarcastically said referring to the smacked I gave her.

"And to answer your questions, I'm not doing anything bad to you. I'm just waking you up! And for all I know, you're the one who did something to me, I woke up with just my undergarments and in this unfamiliar house." She continued while massaging her nose.

"What?! You're the one who took off all your clothes! You're too drunk last night and I just save you from those assholes who wanted to rape you."

"Really? Are you telling the truth? So why do I have this? Aren't you the one who made this to me?" She asked and pointed on her shoulder with bruise. I bit my tongue remembering the punches I'd thrown her.

"Oh my god!" I exclaimed and cover my eyes as fast as I could when she pulled her pants down.

"Look at this!"

"No! I don't want to see your--" waaah! I'm not ready to see a woman's pu--

"Just look miss wild cat." I'm not wild ca--oh god!

"Woah! It's big!" My eyes widen in shocked as a big purplish bruise placed in her right thigh.

"What happened in there?" I asked, where the hell she get that?

"I'm the one who should ask you that? And I have this big bump on my forehead. Do you somewhat hit me on the wall? It freaking hurts." She winced in pain when she touched her forehead. Guilt envelopes me, I'm the one who did that to her. What should I do to make it up to her? Wait. It's her fault--no Jade, she's just drunk and thought that you're her sister. Oh my gosh! She's Leon's sister. They really made my world turn up side down. This quadruplets gave headaches to me for 24 hours straight!

"Won't you like to eat? As you can see, I didn't attend my classes today because of you, I slept for only two hours and I'm so tired right now. But, let me cook for your breakfast?"

"No. I don't want to die because of poisoning."

"Hey! I won't do that." I defended myself. What is she thinking, I'm a bad person? I let her in--but you hit her alot. Aish!

"I promise I won't do that." I raised my right hand that made her look into my eyes.

"Okay, cook for me now if that's what you want." She sat on the couch and pulled her phone out. I walked to my kitchen and think of what I can cook right now, but to my very luck, the fridge is empty. There's nothing in here, except for the rice meal I bought last night which is spoiled because I just left it there. Gosh! My life's really suck. Now, I'm pitying myself. I don't have someone to talk with my problems, I don't have enough money and foods for an unexpected situation like this. I'm like a living person outside but I'm dead inside. I woke up from my thoughts when I felt someone's presence near me, so I looked over her.

"You shouldn't cry early in the morning. I'm sorry if I barged in last night. But please don't cry because you don't know how to cook." She cupped my face and wiped the warm liquid running down my cheeks. I didn't noticed that I'm already crying.

"Just sit down and let's wait for awhile. I asked someone to bring us food. Don't get me wrong, I only did that because maybe it's my fault why I'm here right now. I want to make it up to you." She explained and helped me to sit on the wooden chair placed on the dining table. I sat and keep my mouth shut. I don't have energy to argue with her again.

"What's your name?" She asked after she sat next to me.

"Jade."

"Come on. Loosen up! Jade the wild cat, it suits you more than this gloomy Jade." She pat my head like a little kid.

"Stop doing that. I'm not a kid and not a wild cat." I rolled my eyes but she just laughed. This girl is different, I mean the four of them have different personalities. But she's not like the pervert guy or the orange head, she didn't call Leon a weirdo. She even defended her even though she's drunk and the way she dressed is different. The clothes of Leon and the other two were branded and expensive especially the girl in the convenience store, she looks like a princess living in a castle. But a modern one, a bad ass princess I can say. What is her name? I forgot to ask her and for the pervert I don't care.

Hmm, but if one of them was Leon, the rest of them starts with letter L? Is it? Because I heard Hugo said this girl's name last night, I forgot it but I know it starts with 'L' too.

"Hey, can you share what's on your mind? You seems very focused." My bubble of thoughts popped when she spoke.

"I'm thinking what's your name and the other. I only knew Leon." I furrowed my brows and faced her.

"You know Leon?" She asked with a smile plastered on her lips and her eyes almost twinkling like a kid got her favorite toy.

"Yeah, I met her yesterday morning."

"Wait? And my other two siblings?" Her smile grew wider. A beautiful view.

What are you saying Jade?!

"I just bumped with your brother later that afternoon." Well literally bumped me with his car door.

"And seeing your orange head sister in the convenience store at night. I thought it's the last one but yeah, you popped up infront of my door almost midnight." She laughed and leaned back on the chair's backrest.

"It's unbelievable! You met us four in just one whole day. Wow!" She shook her head while still smiling like an idiot. Is she not used for them to meet with other people?

"Why? I don't get you. But I'm bothered, the four of you have different personalities, two of you are aggressive, one passive and you uhm?" Where did she belong?

"Just having fun?" She ended my question. I nodded. She's just having fun and drinking her ass up.

"Yeah, how can you held each other's presence every day? Do you get along or I bet you fought alot." I continued.

"You know, when we're together we just enjoy the time because it's limited." She started. But huh? Limited? What's that supposed to mean?

"We are not living together, Jade. We live in different houses and raised by different people."

"Why? Who live with your mom and dad?" I furrowed my brows, my curiosity kicks in.

"Our mom died when she gave birth to us and our dad only visit us on special occasions and we should always be complete. He's very busy with his restaurant in Thailand."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I lowered my head, I have no idea that they experienced not having their real family with them and as siblings, I'm sad for the four of them living with other people than their family.

"It's okay. That's why, it's really impossible to meet the four of us at the same time or day because we don't like going out together in our normal days." She explained and stood up. I heard the knock on my door, she walked through and opened it.

"Yow man! Glad to see you're safe. I'm so worried last night." The guy said and handed her a paper bag.

"Yeah. I'm happy my feet brought me here."

"Wait, who lives in here? A guy or a girl or a family?" He asked again. I peeked on this girl's side and saw the guy that kicked out by Hugo last night. He doesn't see me because this girl is really tall and has a broad shoulders.

"A girl. By the way, thanks for this, go now and take care of Max for me please?"

"You're trying to hide a girl from me Campbell huh? Is she beautiful?" He teased her but she just chuckled.

"Go now Mark." She pushed him away and closed the door.

"We have breakfast." She beamed at me while waving the paper bag in front. She went to the dining and pulled out tupperwares from it.

"He cooked my favorites." She smiled again while talking to herself? I sat on the chair and saw what food he brought. A fried rice, three boiled eggs and a two half cooked fried eggs.

"Let's eat." She went to the kitchen and grabbed two spoon and fork. She gave me one and she started to dig on the fried egg. A fried egg is her favorite? Really? A daughter of a wealthy man?

"Uhm? Don't you like the boiled eggs? I can share you this." She pushed the tupperware into me but I waved my hand.

"I'm fine with the boiled eggs. Just eat." I said and started eating.

"Can you tell me your name? You're still a stranger to me."

"Oh yes, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Lauren."

Ah Lauren! Finally, I know other name than Leon.

"My brother's name is Liam and the orange head is Leah."

"I don't care." I rolled my eyes hearing her brother. That pervert! I'm still mad at him!

"Woah! Did my sister act bitch in front of you? I'm sorry for that, she's moody when she's hungry."

"No, she's not." I answered in haste.

"Huh? If she's not? Who, Liam? He's mostly silent but he saved a lot of guys and girls because of the bullies. I can't think anything that he did to you than glaring. If that's the case, don't be mad at him because he does that to everyone." She explained with a chuckle. Aish! If she just knew what her brother did to me!
