Everything Will Be Ok

I groaned as I shoved the speeding ticket into the glove compartment. I then looked back at my watch to see that it was now 3:20. Oh shit Mikey might be on his way home by now. I then hit my foot on the gas as I quickly drove over to the liquor store. I knew I was probably going to get home after Mikey but I really needed this escape so I decided to head over there anyway.

Once I had finally arrived at the store parking lot, I got out of my car and raced into the shop to find what I was looking for. My focus was immediately brought to the large bottle of rum lying on one of the shelves. ‘This will have to do.’ I whispered to myself as I grabbed hold of the bottle and walked over to the register at the front of the store. “Sir may I please see your ID?” The young women at the counter asked. “I’m 23 years old.” I reassured her. “I understand that sir, but its store policy that you show an ID to purchase any sort of alcoholic beverage.” I sighed in defeat as I finally just got it out of my wallet and handed it to her. “Thank you.” She muttered as she looked over my ID and passed it back to me. “Cash or credit?” The lady asked me. “Cash.” I replied as I searched for the right amount of money and placed it on the counter before her. “Would you like a receipt?” I nodded. “Yeah I guess.” I mumbled as I stared back at my phone to notice the little amount of time I had before Mikey would be home. “Alright, well thank you and have a nice day!” She exclaimed with a forced smile as I headed out the entrance door and to my car. As I was just about to unlock my car door, I had noticed something written on the receipt. I then looked at it closer to notice that there was a phone number written in small writing next to a smiley face. Did the cashier really give me her number? I shrugged. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to call her sometime, since she was kind of cute. I then mentally slapped myself. How could I even think about dating again when my poor Taylor is still in danger of her stepmother? I cursed myself as I got back into my car and started it up. I really needed to get my mind off of all this…
Halfway to the drive to my house I decided to turn on the radio when I Miss You by Blink 182 came on. A wide grin spread across my face as this was one of my all-time favorite songs from when I was in high school. As the song eventually progressed, I decided to sing along to the chorus.

“And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)"

The perfect strum of the guitar in the song caused all of my worried thoughts to disappear. Music always seemed to do that for me in hard or rough times.

The song finally ended as I had now pulled up into my driveway. I was relieved to notice that Mikey’s car was still not in sight. I then headed out of my car with my bottle of rum and entered the house. I knew exactly what I was going to do next. I then ran up to my bedroom and closed the doors behind me if Mikey were to come barging in the house without warning. I gently placed the alcohol on my bedroom drawer as I felt the phone in my pocket vibrate against my thigh. Ugh what now? I grumbled as I yanked out my cell phone to see several missed calls from Lindsey. God damnit. I then threw my phone hard against the wall as I took hold of the bottle of rum and popped the cap off. I placed my lips onto the rim of the bottle as I was ready to go all in. If anything was going to fix my problems, I knew that this would definitely be it.
