i am slightly drunk.
i can tell this from the way my words are slurring; the way i stumble rather than walk; and from the way thinking seems very, very difficult all of a sudden. all i really want to do is go to bed for a year and eat lots of crisps.
(although that kind of thought isn't really that rare for me.)
as a result, i don't really to want so say, think, or do very much. unfortunately, isaac wants me to do the exact opposite.
"um," he says, raising his voice a little to speak over whatever crappy christmas song was now playing in the background, "an answer might be nice?"
answer, henry, i told myself sternly.
"i," i started, and then stopped.
that's good. now just a few more words and you'll have a whole sentence.
"i don't really know," i continue, and my shoulders slump. "i don't really know at all. that's the problem."
"can't you try to know?" isaac asks, sounding horrifically sober. "please? for me?"
"maybe i don't want to know," i reply, and look down at the ground.
i can almost see the frown on isaac's face. "a - are you scared to know? maybe the last time you knew... something went wrong? someone -"
"i think we've gone a bit far with this analogy," i whispers.
"maybe," he mutters back. "but c'mon, hen. just give me answer. yes or no."
"now?"
"now."
"how about... friends?"
i look back up; isaac is still frowning. "that wasn't an option?"
"i know," i say. "but think about it. we both have shit to sort out, but we still get to see each other - in a totally platonic, non liking-each-other way - and talk and maybe go shopping together because what you're wearing right now is hideous -"

"thanks," isaac says, surly. "but i'm not sure this is going to work."
"of course it will," i say brightly. "it'll be like before, but one hundred times better. you'll see."
but as we head back into the house, i can't help thinking that it might be a lot worse.

Hello!! and welcome to my first ever story! I loved reading these slasher x nurse reader books but, there aren't many so I decided to make my own. I took a lot of inspiration from BlanktheHorrific he is by far my favorite writer. if you haven't seen any of his slasher books you should they're amazing!
