A D D I S O N.

    The tender brush of a polished fingernail dances along my lipstick stained chin as my moss green eyes flutter open. I taste the sweet burn of bourbon on the roof of my mouth, my hair raining small grains of sand and my caramel skin rough and dry from a night swimming in salt water. My eyes dart to my left to see a beach blonde boy, lips covered in the same vibrant red lipstick that parades my face, wrapped in the same ivory sheets that I am.

    Quickly I untangle my abnormally scrawny legs from the sheet and slip myself into my alcohol stained clothing. Without a word I scatter out of the front door and find myself on a cobblestone street near the water. My boat neatly tied to the nearest dock. I may not remember much of last night but, intoxicated or not I knew how to dock a boat. I smirk at the site of my beautiful sea maiden. "In tip-top shape as usual darlin." I say tossing my body on deck. She wasn't the biggest boat out there, but she was damn sure the prettiest.

I casually untie the rope, the calluses on my hand in line with each ridge of the braided twine. Just like that she was back out on the ocean, her sails dancing in the playful morning wind. The waking sun ever so gently glides along my crooked nose, my eyes fluttering closed. I feel the croak of my stomach as it mumbles for some nourishment. Luckily I had some bread and jam stored down in the lower deck.

    The crisp snap of stale toast chirps through my ear. It wasn't anything like the breakfast mama used to make, but it was satisfactory. The strawberry jam stained my lips, blending into a gradient of crimson from the dried lipstick. Some days I wonder if they are proud, Mama and Pa. They had taught me everything I know, but they aren't here anymore. I'm sure Kaisa was at home screaming her head off. My older sister, sometimes watching her get so angry that her face turned blue made even the most boring of days enjoyable.

    She can be a bit much sometimes, but I know its cause she doesn't want to lose anything more then she has already. I don't know what I would do without her. The last bite of toast crumbles between my teeth as I run back up to the upper deck. I needed to go pick up Hal, I was already running late. I push the gear into full speed, I could see that freckled weirdo waiting for me on the far dock. I could hear the waves pattering against the front of the boat as she starts to gain speed. "Hey Hal, you better jump in cause I'm not docking this beauty for you!" I say through a jam stained grin.

    "Okay asshole whatever you say." He says smiling, I could tell he was frustrated that I was late again, but he would get over it. I gracefully pull the boat just inches form the dock and Hal leaps onto the front of the upper deck. Without much thought I wrap my gangling arms around him. "I had a crazy night, man." I say, knowing he hates when I recount my drunken adventures. I notice his eyes roll back into his head. "Fine buzzkill I wont tell you." I say, mockingly. Hal fumbles over to the side of the deck to help adjust the sails. "Thank god, you have spared me today." He says, playfully.

     I chuckle as that awkward looking boy ruffles his matted red hair and struggles to pull the ropes. Hal was my best friend, another one of those people that the world is lucky to have. I of course would never let him know that, but I'm pretty sure he already does. "You'd think by now you could properly adjust the sails." I say trying to contain a laugh. "Why don't you get over here and pull the ropes and let me do the easy job of sailing." He says through shortened breathes.

    I jump from thee steering post and grab the rope from Hal's hand and properly adjust it and tie it back in place. "Alrighty then Captain, go sail." I say shaking my fingers through his mop of strawberry locks. Hal grins as he goes up to the helm and starts to steer us. These were the days that meant most. The salt water mist filling my nose while the amber sun kissed my freckled shoulders. A day sailing and fishing with one of the most important people in the world. I needed him more then he knew, just as I needed Kaisa. Without the two of them life just simply wasn't worth living. I had already lost far more then any one person should have to, but that's the life of the sea. She takes who she pleases. I guess I can only be grateful that it isn't my time yet.
