Here we go again

"Oh no...dont give me that look..."she said


he smiled

 

"But I like the cake..." He whined.

"Ugh..." She sighed dropping her head onto the bar top. "F*ck my life..."

 

"Elle?"Alex said,slightly worried

"Ok! fine!"she laughed"You win! I hate it when you give me those eyes."

 

"Do you ever have those moments where you just don't know where you're going...? Or what you're doing...? Or even how you got where you are...? And you feel like you're just falling down into an empty void of daily routine that means nothing and the only thing you're waiting for is for something worth waiting for...?" She muttered with an edge of tearfulness in her tone. "My life is one of those moments... No future and barely even a present..."

"YAY!" Casey exclaimed, once again jumping at her and hugging her tightly.

 

"what brought this on?"

she hugged him again.

 

"Nothing..." Elle shrugged. "I always think like this, I just don't say it..."

 

"You sure your ok?"he asked leaning forward to get a better look at her.

 

"Like you really care..." She muttered darkly pulling away from him.

 

"Of course I do...your partically family now."He said

 

"Hah!" Elle exclaimed throwing her head backwards as she sat up. "Well isn't that just great, we're family now..."

 

"Yeah we are."he said

 

"Oh how little you know..." Elle giggled leaning forwards again and picking up her glass again.

 

"Elle...what- what are you on about?"he asked

 

"Well..." Elle said as she gulped down the last two inches of wine left in the already rather large glass. An amount that turned out to be just enough to wipe her of pretty much any common sense. "We've been family for a lot longer then you expect."

 

"what do you mean?"he asked "Elle...how much have you had to drink?"

 

"I've had about erm... What number comes after three...? Never mind, that many bottles." Elle said, being distracted from what she was originally going to say.

 

"I think you should stop drinking Elle...."He said"what were you going to say?"

 

"Well I don't think I should." She said pouring another glass of wine. "And I was going to say that we've been related a lot long then you think we have..."

 

"what do you mean?"

 

"Do you remember thing one evening in the spring about six years ago? I believe it was a prom for the OWL students and the NEWT students." Elle asked, swaying slightly on her stool.
