Sorry about the late update, I ended up spending more time running errands then I thought I would have! I'm trying to write a bit more but i don't know if there will be another update until tomorrow afternoon. I hope you all enjoy this chapter! Ending is sort of sweet. Enjoy and don't forget to review! It is a small chapter though.
I woke up the next morning on the floor of our hotel room. The curtains were pulled wide open and I wondered how stupid I could have been to not close them before I even started drinking. I groaned and rolled over onto my stomache and hid my face. I thought I was going to puke so I got up and rushed to the bathroom. Once inside I found a glass of water and some pain killers with a little note.
I know how competitive you get with beer pong. You'll need these.
There was a small drawing of a duck and with that I knew exactly who wrote that.
After taking the water and the medicine I figured I shouldn't be the only one awake. I walked back towards the beds and realized I wasn't the only one awake. But I was the only one who was left in the hotel room.
My phone was going off like mad on the dresser so I walked over a checked. I had at least one text from everyone telling me to wake up and get down for breakfast. I threw my glasses on and my hair up and brushed my teeth. I could shower after breakfast.
Once I arrived downstairs and found everyone in the restaurant I laughed at the sight. Apparently everyone felt just as bad as I felt, other than Dakota and Brittany, who might I had were taking that to their advantage. They were sitting a table away from everyone banging on their cups and plates. Everyone else? Had their hands on their heads and sunglasses on. I felt kind of better seeing how they acted together. At least I knew nothing bad was discussed while they waited. But if I know Dakota, then she must have just scored me some major brownie points.
I sat down beside Quinn and laughed. "You look like shit, and they're enjoying this." I say pointing over my shoulder to Dakota and Brittany.
"Please don't yell." Quinn says quietly and rubs her temples.
I shake my head and get up and grab a plate from the breakfast buffet. I get a small extra plate and fill it full of bacon and put in front of her before making my way to the table of 2.
"You guys are definitely taking hang overs too lightly." I smile at the two of them.
"Hence why we gave you some pain killers. So you wouldn't end up hating us." Dakota explains tapping her knife and spoon on some cups. The way she's holding her face she's trying to not let me see her eye or side of her face at all. She keep looking to Brittany and down at an angle.
"Let me see." I say reaching out and turning her head.
"Careful,-" Brittany starts jumping a little and reaching out her hand. "She apparently did something to a muscle in her neck. She's basically on restrictions for awhile." Brittany says shyly. "So I'll probably be seeing you alot. They taught me how to change her bandages and if she gets an infection."
"Oh, well thats good. I don't think I could handle something like that, plus Dakota doesn't really like showing she's weak." I smile and pick up a fork and start to eat.
"Oh what's that Quinn?" Dakota says running off with her food to the table.
"She's not very subtle is she?" Brittany asks me laughing and eating a bit of her food.
"Not really, but I'm sure everyone else is quite happy I split you two up. Atleast it's quiet in here."
"Yeah I guess. She's really nice. I'm glad you found someone like her. I'm sure you two will end up really happy in the end especially after everything I caused you yesterday. I'm sorry I ruined everything." She says and gets up before I can comprehend it.
"Brittany, wait!" I say getting up and chasing her. But still like high school she's always faster than me. "Shit."
I turned around and walked back to the hall. I sat down across from Dakota and shook my head. Maybe we were really too close. I never thought of it that way. I sigh and looked at her while she talked to Quinn. She looks over to me and looks confused.
"What did you tell her last night?" I ask sounding slightly angry.
"Uhh, nothing really. I told her about how we would listen to you cry all of the time and that there was no way in hell she'd lose you. She kept saying about how scared she was that she ruined her chances with you because she had some guy in her life. She asked how close we were n if we ever dated and I explained to her how we were basically siblings and that it would be weird if we dated." Dakota shrugs.
"Well she just ran off with the idea that we're together." I say. "I'm going to have to figure something out fast. I can't let this slip away." I have to find some way to explain everything to Brittany. Figures, as soon as we're back in each others lives. Something has to come up and ruin it.
I finish breakfast and go back up to the room and change. I needed to find Brittany and make everything right. I might as well take this opportunity to go for a jog. I grabbed my Ipod and walked out of the hotel. As soon as my shoes touched pavement I just went wherever my instincts took me. I did know this town better then the back of my hand.
I guess when they say that no matter where you go, life always has a way of never letting you forget the small things. I found myself running up a familiar hill with a tree at the top. That's when I remembered this place. It was where Britt and I always went to think about things and life and our major decisions. Once I was at the top I looked at the tree and saw the place where we carve our names in a heart. I traced the names with my fingers and smiled at the memory.
It felt like just yesterday. I smiled so big and pulled my earphones out. I turned around and saw a flash of blonde on the other side of the tree. I walked around and sat down beside her.
"No matter how many years we've spent apart we still know exactly where to find each other. "
