" Urgh" Elena groaned.
"Good Morning" exclaimed Much putting his head around the corner. Elena screamed.
"Ah well done Much," Said Will, before appearing around the curtain. "You alright?"
"Um, what? Yeh, no, urgh no my head."
"I take it you were drunk," Will smiled and Elenas heartbeat, for some odd reason increased.
"What? Yeh I think so. Yeh must have been. Jeri's engagement party. Urgh." Her hand suddenly flew up to her mouth and she looked at Will. He laughed and pulled her up and over to the loo and held her hair. Ten minutes later they emerged, Will clearly disgusted and Elena clearly embarrassed, but nothing more was said on the matter. Much pushed away his breakfast. Jeri had woken up by this time and they gave each other a fragile hug.
"Never again." Sighed Elena and Jeri laughed.
"Only until your engagement party and I bet you'll drink more."
"Urgh no don't even say the word drink to me in that context"
"You're engaged?" asked Will and Elena definitely couldn't deny something strange in his voice. Was it pity, anxiety or, and although she doubted it very much, love?
"Yeh." Shrugged Jeri, and Elena realised that perhaps the question wasn't meant for her.
"Oh don't say it like that Jeri," She had the courage to say, "You love him more than me and Cari put together!"
"Someone say m'name?" Cari's muffled voice met the others. "I can't believe you let me drink all that crap in one!"
"I don't think we had a choice" laughed Jeri flouncing off too see her. Elena just sat there, but in the end her best friend still being partially drunk couldn't keep her in that mood for long. Laughing she went to join the others.
Much looked at Will who was still staring at the empty space.
"Please." Exclaimed Much shaking his head and he walked off. Will turned away and followed.
