I Just Might Be Next Chapter Five
Sam's POV
She's what? He ask.
Mattie got drunk while I was doing some shifts. I said shamefully.
What is beer doing in your house? Harry asked.
I don't know. I said.
I'm coming over. I can't believe she's has done something like that after they lecture I gave. He said.
She's asleep, it's best not to wake her. I said.
I don't care if she's asleep. She shouldn't be drinking at the age of 16. He yelled.
I know that's what I told her. I said.
Does anyone else know about this? He asked.
No sir! Paul and Jared shouldn't tell anyone and well I don't think Mattie will either since she puked for over thrity minutes. I said.
Thirty minutes? How many beers did she drink and keep down before she started puking? Harry asked.
I think about five or six. I said.
Oh my word! He sighed.
I think she's need to stay a couple of days at my house so she can straighten out. He said.
I don't know, I feel if I send her to you than she might rebel more. I said.
Heck, she won't do that. She'll act like a young lady once I get done with her. I said.
I don't know. I'm gonna think about. I'll give her a warning. I said.
Okay, I'll call you in the morning to check in on her. Harry said.
Okay, bye. I said.
Good luck and goodbye. He said.
I was going to need that luck in the morning. Mattie would be cranky with the hangover she was going to have.
It was seven in the morning. I needed to get Mattie ready for school.
Mattie get up. I said.
For what? She asked confused.
You have to get ready for school. I said.
She sighed and said 'okay'.
I went into the kitchen and tried to find something that Mattie could eat.
Have the lunch money from yesterday, I can eat on that. She said.
What did you eat yesterday? I asked.
Nothing. She shrugged.
Why? Paul gave you the money so you could eat. I said.
Paul didn't give me the money in time. I had lunch after my first class. She said.
Why? I asked.
Because we went on a feild trip to the beach. Mattie said.
She sat at the kitchen table and looked out the window.
So what did you do after school? I asked.
Eh nothing. She said.
Really? No drinking? I asked.
Not that I know of. She said.
You are a lair! You had six beers last night! I said.
So I had a couple of beers. How did you know? She asked.
I was here for the fifth and sixth beer. Oh and not mention the thirty minutes barfing party you had in the bathroom. I said as I raised my voice a little.
So what, I was thristy and couldn't find anything to drink. She said.
Mattie's POV
There was water! Sam shouted.
I'm sick of drinking water for breakfast lunch and dinner! I said.
I know and I'm sorry! Sam said as he sat down.
Harry was right. He mumbled a few minutes later.
What are you talking about? I asked.
You're going to live with Harry for a while. It's the best thing. I can't take care of you and you're out of my control. Sam said.
No! I'll straighten up! Just don't send me to Harry's. I begged.
The phone rang, no one every called unless it was Harry.
I'm going. I said.
Sam picked the phone up and watched me as I left the house.
