Drunk Enough to Forget (Open)

[Jacelynn Heron]

Down one drink and order another. Down that drink and order another. Repeat. Jacelynn didn't care if she puked her brains out the next morning, she intended on getting drunk enough to forget. She wanted to forget it all. Les' mother hating her and saying horrible things about her, down one drink and order another. Her mother insisting that it was her fault things were so fucked up in her life, down one drink and order another. And the final straw to her insanity, Carter pushing her away then deciding he wants to kiss her and bolt...down one drink and order many more.

It didn't matter that her life was fucked up. Oh no, this was something she was used to. She was used to her her mother hating her. She was used to everyone looking at her like she was scum, a whore. She was not however used to being told all of these horrible things by someone and then magically meaning something to them. Normally these things rolled off her shoulders, but seeing as how it was Carter that had done it, she couldn't just up and forget. Those damn nagging feelings she had for him were screwing with her mind and constantly replaying the scene over and over again. How could someone that wasn't supposed to be anymore than a hookup get to her so easily!?

Jacelynn sat at the bar and ordered another shot of vodka. She was going to black out and she didn't even care. She didn't care where she ended up and she knew that it was only going to disappoint her parents that much more, so what the hell did it matter to her? As long as she got to forget it all, she didn't give a fuck about anything else or anyone else. Everyone could shove it and go straight to hell as far as she was concerned.

It was probably not a good thing that she was an angry drunk...

Zack walked into the club, he had told Jay he was going out for a bit; hadn’t told the boy where, because quite frankly he didn’t want the boy knowing he planned on going to a club. The boy just needed to get away from everything and everyone; he needed to let his hair down, especially after certain events happened.

With some of the students he was training, and failing at trying to figure his roommate, Jay out, he had just became so stressed out it wasn’t even funny. He just needed a few drinks, and maybe dance with a few random people. He had, had a minor fight with Jay after hinting at him liking the other boy, but he hadn’t seemed to connect the dots. It was all starting to frustrate him, why couldn’t Jay be more opened to his feelings verbally like he had been trying to do? He just wanted to know if River was right, did Jay have feelings for him?

He hated having this kind of drama in his life, and some of his more troubled students weren’t helping with his nerves, but he would never take out his lack of love life on those kids, nor would he take out his frustrations from the students onto Jay. So, that’s why he was here, to get a bit tipsy, so some of the stress could be lifted off his shoulders.

However, once he got to the bar, he saw a girl had to have been younger than he was downing drinks like it was nothing. He looked at the bartender and motioned his head toward the blonde, but the bartender just shrugged. “Hey, Sweetheart, are you okay?” Unfortunately for Zack he didn’t know this girl was an angry drunk.

Jacelynn was going to keep drowning herself in alcohol until she couldn't possibly keep anymore down. She was already pretty close to it. She could feel her stomach turning, and yet she ordered one more shot, only to be denied by the bartender. He gave her a look and handed her a glass of water. She gritted her teeth and begrudgingly took a drink of the water that was placed in front of her.

As she took a drink she felt someone come closer and the next thing she knew he was asking if she was okay. Jace looked over at him and shrugged, "Yeah, just peachy." Well it was nice to know that at least she could talk. Her eyes appraised him and she wondered how old he was. Her mind was a little muddled and she couldn't quite get a clear picture of his face seeing as how her vision was slightly blurred.

She took another drink of water and the bartender placed a new bowl of peanuts in front of her. She couldn't figure out what this guy's deal was. All she wanted was to have a good time and it was like the bartender was hounding her to be careful and responsible. What a jerk. She dramatically took a handful of peanuts and shoved them in her mouth and then gave him the finger. He gave her a warning glare and she just took another drink.

Maybe it was a good thing the bartender stopped her, this was no way to drown her stress. Sure, Zack himself came here to loosen up because of stress, but he wasn’t here to get wasted. No one should get wasted, even though he understood the want to. However, drinking too much alcohol was unhealthy and addictive. It made him wonder if this girl was an addict; could this girl possibly be legal? She looked really young to Zack

Zack raised an eyebrow, he looked at the bartender “Just a beer please.” Even though he had beer at home.. Oh well. He didn’t want to take shots in front of this girl, he would feel like he was rubbing it in her face or something. “Sure it is.. It’s that why you were drowning yourself with shots?” He wanted to ask if maybe she wanted to talk about it, but felt she would just snap at him. He looked at the bartender, “Give me a shot of what she had.” Once the bartender did, he placed the glass shot in front of the girl, “Just one.” Zack told the girl. He wasn’t a charity giver in this kind of case, and the girl didn’t seem like a charity case. The bartender glared at him, and he raised a hand to show he was harmless. This was the girl’s last shot; he wasn’t going to give her more.

Jacelynn had been drinking since she was old enough to pass for legal which had been a year or so now. Her assets helped that little bit a lot and seeing as how she was a photography major and had a lot of friends that knew how to make fake IDs that actually looked like the real thing, well it came in handy. She typically didn't drink at clubs though, instead she drank from her parents' liquor stash that they never opened and got just tipsy enough to have a good time and those were days she ended up walking to whatever club she wanted to go to. So no, she wasn't legal, but no one had to know that little tid bit. Least of all this guy and the bartender.

"Not drowning myself, it's called fun. What the hell is it with you people and thinking I've got some stupid alcohol dependency? Damn. You're not my parents so lay the hell of, I don't need your help," She said irritably. Oh yeah, he was spot on with that guess. Jacelynn didn't know how to keep from snapping at people when she was sober, let alone drunk out of her mind. He placed a shot in front of her and she glanced up at him with narrowed eyes. She felt like he was playing some trick on her or something that would just piss her off more. As if she needed anything else. Still, she wasn't going to turn it down. She tipped the glass back and slammed it on the bar, bottoms up without even flinching. This girl knew how to handle her alcohol...well until it all started kicking in.

And when it had, her world started spinning.
