The night had progressed to the point where the smell of whiskey and tequila as well as the pizza that Piper ordered were over filling the apartment.

"You know,"

Alex said with a mouthful of pepperoni, looking at Piper laying down on the couch

"I actually really like this place."

swallow.

"Are there any good apartments around here?"

Her gaze had been wandering around and taking in the details of the apartment the whole night. If she had the chance to decorate it, it would have been perfect. The main reason for which she wanted to move away from her place were the memories. Her house, well, her mothers house in which she had been living for the past couple of weeks after getting kicked out of her apartment would feel cold the next time she came over.

"Where are you,"

hiccup

"even"

hiccup

"from, though?" Piper inquired, too intoxicated to even speak. Her brain was fuzzy and she had began forgetting certain parts of her night at work.

"Okay kid, you have had too much to drink" Alex said as she stood up and grabbed the few shot glasses that were sprawled out along the table. At one point in the night they had decided that tequila would be more fun. Alex was mourning for whichever reason, and Piper desperately wanted to forget the faces of the customers at Train Spotting. Balancing them in one hand, grabbing the remaining bottles and glasses she moved towards the kitchen sink.

"Okay, that right there Alex"

she pointed her arm out to no one in particular

"is waitress can't even carry a tray without fucking up. How am I supposed to deal with the customers when Nicky drops the drinks at least five times a day?" After standing up and leaning against the doorway in the kitchen looking at Alex she screamed "You can even wash the fucking dishes when you are drunk?". Alex smirked as she dried of her hands and turned around.
"There are many things I am good at kid."

The moment those words spilled out of Alex's mouth , Piper stumbled forward in an attempt to get water, tripped and started falling. In a reflex Alex inched forward grabbing her by underneath her arms and holding her in a very uncomfortable position. Piper was dangling from Alex's arms as the other girl stood in shock.

"You definitely have had to much to drink. Let's get you to bed." she said and helped her up.

"You are also very strong. Impressive." hiccup.

"It is because of the height." she laughed.

"Which way is the bedroom again?"

After having successfully gotten Piper into bed, she looked at the blonde. She had wrapped herself in her blankets and was already lightly snoring.

She is beautiful. And a lightweight. She thought and laughed.

She grabbed a blanket and headed towards the couch. Now with her legs propped up and alcohol running through her blood stream, she gave herself some time to think. After losing her mother two weeks ago she had become a shell of the person she used to be. Her girlfriend Sylvia, now maybe even ex-girlfriend, had not heard from Alex from the day of the would be totally understandable for her to never talk to her again.

That wouldn't be that bad.

Shrugging, she left her thoughts in peace. She would deal with them tomorrow. After she finally got some sleep.

Piper woke up to a horrible headache. Her hands were pressed tightly against her eyes as she tried to shield any light coming in from the window. Getting up for work was definitely out of the question and Nicky would be pissed. She laughed at herself; it hadn't even been a week and she had began to fuck up. College had been so easy. At this moment she would be nursing her hangover over a plate of pancakes from the campus with her best friend Polly, listening to her drunken escapades.

Wait, why am I drunk?

Alex.

"Alex" she muttered, more to herself than anyone from last night had begun to invade her mind. Nicky explaining her the situation, getting the brunette a drink, then one for herself, a refill, another refill, aaaaaand one more, tequila shots, and so on.

There is a big chance I have been robbed.

I will kill Nicky, I will fucking kill her. She was cursing at herself for being foolish enough to get drunk with a stranger in the house while putting on her jeans

I will also never allow myself to drink again. Stupid, stupid. STUPID.

Her train of thoughts was cut off the second she stepped into the living room. The smell of pancakes and coffee invaded her senses and Alex sitting at the counter gave her a shock.

"You are still here?" Piper said in a surprised tone, causing Alex to abruptly turn around and almost spill her coffee.

"Shit kid, you scared me. I made pancakes. I wanted to make sure to say goodbye before I left." Piper nodded as Alex continued.

"And also I didn't want to leave the door open and have you wake up to being robbed." she smirked and walked to the pot of coffee.

Piper was left staring at the empty seat in shock. Laughing at herself for being so ridiculous for jumping to conclusions she walked over to Alex who was placing pancakes on a plate and handing them over to the blonde.

"Those smell really good Alex." Piper said bringing them closer to her face and sniffing. Alex just smiled to herself as she watched the blonde who sat upright and moaned at the first bite.

"I think I will head off." Alex said as she went to grab her jacket.

"Thank you for letting me stay. I appreciate it really." a smile was adorning her face as she thought of the night she had with the blonde. She knew that thinking about her in any kind of way other than a girl that took her in for a night was wrong, but she couldn't help it. She was beautiful. Her eyes were the bluest color she had and her personality was incredible.

"You sure you don't want to stay?" a glimpse of hope etched itself on Alex's face.

I do, her heart screamed. Her mind on the other hand forced her to say something else.

"Yeah I am okay. I need to find Nicky anyway. I will see you around!" she spoke fast as she grabbed her jacket and made her way to the door. She couldn't bare thinking about the fact that she probably wouldn't see the blonde again. She had Sylvie, her own drama, her job and the need to get away from her thoughts. She couldn't drag the blonde down into her own shit. And she was pretty sure Piper was not even remotely interested in her.

Sighing she opened the door.

"Thank you. And have a good day Piper." she smiled. The blonde had come come to stand next to Alex and was smiling sadly.

"You should come by at some point."

Please come by.

"I will."

Piper hoped she would. As the door closed, Piper sat on the couch.

That night had been the most fun she had in quite some time. She unlocked her phone and scrolled through her photos. One picture caught her eye. It was Alex pretending to be Nicky, by having puffed out her hair. She was laughing. She must have snapped it when she was drunk.

Fuck it.

Piper stood up and run to the door. Grabbing her keys she dashed out of her door and to the stairs. She run as fast as she could, skipping the stairs two by two in order to get to Alex.

I have to get her number.

The street was empty as Piper opened the front door of the building. No sign of Alex was visible and Piper's heart sunk.

She will come by won't she?
