How Did We Get Here

I woke up from the sound of an owl. Is this a dream? I sat up and looked at my surroundings. All I could see was darkness and the only light source was the moon. The woods? How did I get here and why am I outside? My head was throbbing badly now. I can’t remember anything. I stood up and looked around at where I could get out but had no success. I decided to go to a random part of the woods and see if it took me out. I walked through the pointy thorns and bushes and tried to push my way through.
As I was walking more and more I could hear cars go by and shoes walking on the pavement. I ran as fast as I could out and arrived at the lit city. Thank god I got out of that. I didn’t know what time it was so I asked a random stranger that passed by.
“Um excuse me but can you tell me the time?” No answer. Jeez what’s his problem? I then asked a woman who looked to be in her late twenties.
“Um excuse me Ms can you tell me the time?” No answer again. What’s going on? I decided to ask another man that was walking by.
“Hey um can you tell me the time.” And again, no answer. I started following the man and grabbed his shoulder and made him face me.
“Hey excuse me but can you not hear me!? I asked for the time?!” The man looked absolutely terrified and started screaming and running away. What’s wrong with him??
I decided to go by the bar and get a drink because this is a moment for one. I walked inside and was hit with the smell of alcohol. I sat down in the seat in front of the bartender and put my hand on my head still having the throbbing pain kill me. Welp might as well take the pain away with hard liquor.
“Can I have the strongest thing you got?”
“Sure thing man.”
I lifted my head up to stare at the guy. He had red hair that wasn’t that long and a jacket with skinny jeans. He wasn’t that bad looking and he looked about my age. The man came and brought me the alcoholic beverage. I didn’t notice I was staring at him for a long time until he said something.
“What? You like what you see?” He said smirking and putting his hand on his hip. My cheeks were heating up with embarrassment. Come on Frank think of an excuse. Got it!
“Oh I'm sorry it’s just you were the first person today that finally said something to me. It seems like every one is ignoring me today.”
“Oh sorry.” He said clearly embarrassed.
“It’s fine. I'm Frank.” I said holding my hand out.
“You’re not some guy who’s going to pull that move where they want an innocent handshake but yanks you and takes you home with them? Because that’s happened before, twice.” The guy said looking at me skeptical.
“Do I look that strong?” I said smiling.
“True.” The guy said accepting my handshake. “The names Gerard, sooo Frank I haven’t seen you around here before. You new around this shitty town?”
“Well no, not really. I have been living here my whole life and I usually come to this bar about once every week.” I said with a confused tone.
“Oh I guess I just haven’t seen you around. Hey how’s your drink because I made it up awhile back and never let anyone try it except for you now.” Gerard said pointing at the glass.
“Oh I haven’t tried it yet.” I picked up the glass and took a sip and was instantly hit with the strong alcohol.
“Holy shit!! That’s strong.”
“You bet your ass it is. Good that’s how I wanted it and hey you said you wanted the strongest thing and there you go I just satisfied your needs. Unless you need more than the drink to satisfy you.” Gerard said with a deep husky voice and a wink at the end. Holy shit!!?? Was he trying to hit on me?? I looked at him and he busted out in giggles.
“Oh my god!! You should have seen your face!!!” Gerard said trying to control his laughter but failed very miserably. I couldn’t help but laugh a little too. I brought the glass to my lips and took a gulp instantly regretting I did it because holy shit it’s way too strong.
“Man!! I like you Frank! You made my day. Here give me your phone.”
“Um okay? What are you going to do with it?”
“I'm going to tell it that it’s beautiful and have sex with it.” He said looking at me sarcastically with a sarcastic tone. “I'm going to give you my number.”
“Oh ok.” I said sounding quite embarrassed. He gave me back my phone and I looked at his contact name.
“King of Sass?” I said sounding confused.
“Yes peasant? What is it that you need.” Gerard said smiling.
“Wow.”
“Well I will talk to you later Frank. Give me a call sometime.” Wait why is he saying goodbye to me now? I then looked down and saw my glass empty and I didn’t even know it.
“Oh. B-bye Gerard and I will.” And with that I left the bar starting my walk home.
