Chapter 8
Song
I don't know how to love him
(Jesus Christ Superstar)
I don't know how to take this,
I don't see why he moves me
Up had been looking for Taz since he'd realised that she was neither at the library nor in his room.
"Where's Taz?" he asked that girl with which Taz sometimes hung out, but he had forgotten her name.
"I don't know I haven't seen her the whole day," she replied.
Up nodded and hurried away. He had now clue where to look for Taz, but he knew that she had a problem.
As he opened the door to his room, he heard a strange noise coming out of his bathroom.
"Taz?" he asked carefully while he opened the door quietly. Taz sat in his bathtub. She was wearing clothes and was holding a bottle in her hands. "What ya doin' here?"
"Go away!" she responded and Up could tell that she was pretty much drunk.
"What ya doin' here, Taz?" he asked again and walked over to her to pull her out of the bathtub.
"Let go!" she said dizzily and grabbed the shower, "No! Up, let's … let's just stay here"
Up nodded slightly and put her back into the bathtub. "But give me that", he said while he grabbed the bottle and threw it out of the window.
Up sat down next to the bathtub and looked at Taz. "What's wrong?"
"It's my birthday today, jou know," she said before she began to sing absentmindedly.
"Oh, shit! I didn't think of that, I'm so sorry, Taz!" Up said softly, while he began to brush her hair.
"Oh, doesn't matter," Taz said happily, turned around kissed his nose.
"And ya just decided to go into my bathroom and get drunk?" he asked. Up didn't understand why she'd gone to his bathroom.
"Yeah. And I wanted to take a bath," she said, still smiling.
"In your clothes?"
"Jou want me to take dem off?" Taz asked and was about to take her clothes off as Up shouted: "No! Taz, stop that!"
Taz looked confused, before she wrapped her arms around his neck and bend down to kiss him.
"Taz! Stop it! Get out of here now!" Up shouted.
She tried to get out of the bathtub, but he had to carry her.
"Could jou please stop here and let me down?" Taz asked.
Up put her to her feet, she walked over to the toilet and threw up. He hurried over to her and grabbed her hand.
oooOOOooo
Taz had fallen asleep in his bed. Up hoped that she had learned her lesson and wouldn't touch any alcohol any more.
She stirred slightly and opened her eyes. "Jou're still here," Taz said confused.
"Of course, ya think I would leave ya alone while ya drunk?" Up said and stroke the hair out of her face.
Taz didn't respond, but she smiled a little.
"I'm sorry dat I tried to kiss jou, Up. Lo siento, really, I don't know why I did that," she said eventually.
"Ya were drunk. It's not your fault" Taz smiled again and Up continued, "You're funny, when ya drunk, did ya know that?"
"Oh, shut up, idiota," she growled.
"I want to give ya something for your birthday," Up said.
"I don't want jou to give me something," Taz replied.
"But I do. So, we'll go on vacation in summer! To celebrate your first year at the academy and shit!" he called out cheerfully.
"No!"
"Yes! And it's gonna be totally awesome!" Up yelled, laughing.
"No! No, Up, I don't want to go on a vacation!" Taz whined, but she was also smiling.
"Yes, you do! And I know exactly where we're going to go!"
Taz rolled her eyes and muttered Spanish words. Up was quite sure that it were insults even though he didn't understand a single word.
"I knew you would be happy about it!" he said while he ruffled her hair, "And now go back to sleep. I just wanted to inform ya about that, because I just talked to Commander Sean and he said it would be alright"
Taz groaned, rolled her eyes and lay back down. Up smiled as her annoyed expression turned softer and her breathing became deeper.
I'm sorry, that this chapter is so short. I didn't really like it, it's just that this is going to be important later. Please review and I promise that the next chapter is going to get better.
