Chapter 17

Skylar's POV ~

A week later.

I was in the kitchen making breakfast quickly since I could hear Jeremy hurling upstairs.

DING-DONG

I sigh and go to the door.

"Olivia?"

"Skylar. Where have you been? What the hell? I haven't heard from you in a week." She says coming in

"I'm sorry."

"Skylar. What the hell? I've been worried."

"Look- I'm sorry but I can't do this right now. My parents are out there trying to find the people responsible for this. I have to take care of my brother who is a mess by the way and I- haven't slept since the incident."

"I can help. Just tell me what you need help with."

"I don't need help! what is the point if- I'm useless. I'm an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in about a week and I'm going ballistic so please. Please."

"What do you want me to do?!"

"Leave! I need you to leave." I say not watching my words

"Liv- I'm-"

"No, I got it." She says and leaves. I sigh and quickly go back and finish Jeremy's food and grab a bottle of whiskey.

I knock on his door and go in. He fell asleep so I just leave the food in the dresser with a note and grab the bottle of whiskey on my way out since he wasn't going to need it.

I go back downstairs.

I sit down on the couch and start drinking the bottle.

I sigh.

F*ck.

How mad is Liv right now?

F*ck. F*ck. F*uck

I finish the bottle and watch how it rolls and hits the table in front of the TV

I fall asleep and when I woke up it was nighttime.

I look at the time and it was midnight.

Our parents weren't here yet.

I went upstairs and saw that Jeremy was eating

"That's lunch"

"Go away" his voice hoarse. I sigh.

"Don't take your pills with alcohol again." I say and close the door.

I go into my room and decide to take a shower. I was almost naked when I heard a thud from Jeremy's room.

I run in there and he was drunk out of his mind and mumbling.

"Oh god" I say as I grab into him and try to get him into the bed.

I got a bucket out from underneath his bed and gave him a lot of water.

"I'm sorry..." he whispers before passing out
