"what do you mean you kissed" Renee asked her sarcastically emphasising on the word 'kissed'
"Well"Asterin began to explain the whole ordeal to Renee"we were both stuck in the, elevator and things happened"
"Could that be why you're loosing your powers" Renee asked already getting worried,she feared for the mental stability of her dear friend,she was kicked out of her home,as much as she wanted Asterin to become more human she couldn't bear the thought thought of watching her loose the one thing that meant so much to her "we will figure this out Asterin, you'll see" she said pulling her into a tight hug, Renee's Phone Rang interrupting their sisterly moment,and it was her boyfriend,asking her to meet him outside,she excused her self but before leaving she made Asterin Promise to sort things out with Ryan.
Hours passed since Renee's departure and Asterin was getting bored and hungry so she headed downstairs to find something to eat, while wondering in the kitchen she managed to stumble across the cabinet where liquor was stored,she didn't know what the contents were or what they could do but she drank as much as she could ignoring the stinging sensation in her throat each time she took a gulp.
******************************
"Hey, Asterin can we talk"Ryan said to Asterin who had her head bowed on the dining table, oblivious to the fact that she was wasted he began to explain his reason for acting coldly towards her "I just wanted to let you know that I'm deeply sorry for the way I've been Acting lately,but I couldn't bring myself to face you after what happened in the Elevator,when you ran off I knew within me that I had gone too far and it's okay if you're mad at me,but I couldn't help myself I know we've only lived together for a few months, I've studied you enough to know that you're different, you're not like the other girls" he concluded feeling out of breath after his heart felt explanation but she didn't say a word instead she began to laugh"what's so funny "
He demanded
"You are so funny,look at how big your head is" she slurred whacking his head in a playful way "are you drunk?"he demanded sternly "whattt are you saying Ryan,have you come to kiss me again?,or am I not good enough ,or why?"it dawned on him that she didn't hear a word he said,he spent so much time in the office trying to think of what to say to her but all his efforts were futile,she was in no condition to be spoken to "where is my Sister"he asked,and she instantly teared up "I didn't do anything to her,I swear"Ryan groaned and ran his hands through his perfectly styled hair,it was something he did when he whenever he felt nervous or frustrated "come on let's get you to bed"he said picking her up carefully,the lights from the chandelier Shone on her face and illuminated her eyes, he hadn't noticed how Beautiful they were until that moment
