BELLA'S POV
I couldn't remember a thing.
"Do you think we should wake her up now?"
"I don't know…what if she's still…you know…from the fire whiskey…"
"But we've been covering for her for about 2 days now…"
Darkness. And voices. Darkness and voices. Where was I? What happened last night? Why is everything so dark? Why can't I see the people talking? Hermione? Alice? Harry?...Edward?
I slowly tried to open my eyes…everything went blurry…
They were silent as I sat up and rubbed my eyes gently.
"What? What? Where am I? Where, where is…" I said, not managing to say the name.
"Bella? BELLA!" Hermione said, hugging me. Hmm, she was beside me? I didn't notice.
"H-hermione…hey…um…what happened last night?"
They chuckled. "Bella, you mean 'what happened 2 nights ago'?" I heard Emmett say, I think. My vision was still a bit blurry.
"E-emmett? Huh? TWO nights ago? What….?" I said, rubbing my eyes once again.
"Well…you were out for quite some time…" Harry said, putting his hand on mine, I heard a growl, but I ignored it and flipped my hand over so I was holding Harry's hand.
"Yeah, and…well…you drank some fire whiskey…so I told Edward to bring you to your room…you can't remember anything at all, can you?" Alice said, sitting down beside Hermione.
"Yeah…all I can remember is…wait, I was asleep for two nights already?! What did you tell the teachers?!" I said, panicking. I was out for that long?
"Don't worry Bella. We took care of everything!" Alice said, smiling at me.
I snorted. They must've missed something out. Hmm….
"My homework?"
"Already finished!" Hermione said, smiling at me.
"My classes?"
"You had to go your Aunt Olivia's house. She had a massive stomach ache and needed your help." Alice said, smirking.
"Aunt Olivia…?" I said, confused. I didn't have an Aunt Olivia.
"E`use meh, `ih `ave eh really bad stoomaack `ache. `Ih need to e`use to Eeesabella Swaaan please." Ginny said, pinching her nose. I laughed. Haha, I didn't know Ginny could do that.
"Hmm…what about the students? Our fellow Gryffindor dorm-mates? Huh?"
"Um…actually, you've been staying in the boy's dorm…`cause well, girls are too…you know…" Ron said, trying to explain.
"What?! So I'm in the boy's dorm right now?!"
"Yeah…you sort of are…but don't worry, all of the guys said they'd keep their mouths shut." Rosalie said, smiling at herself. Hmm, maybe she had a step in too.
I closed my eyes, taking a minute to take things in. So…
I was in the boy's dormitory.
For about two nights now.
I drank fire whiskey.
I got drunk because of it.
Edward brought me to the dorm.
I was drunk.
People do weird things when they are drunk.
What did I do?
Oh…no…
I opened my eyes.
"I-I have to…what time is it?" I said, noticing the sun shining brightly.
"It's…3 am." Jasper said, staring at the sky.
"Oh. So…what do we do now?" I said blankly.
"We have breakfast!" Alice said, jumping out of my bed.
"I um….ok, sure. Let's have breakfast." I said, getting out of bed. I didn't have that much balance though. Hmm, must me the whiskey.
"Woah Bella. You okay?" Hermione said, holding my elbow.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. I just need to take a bath first. I bet I look like a haystack."
"Sure Bella. Edward will wait for you. The others and I have to make your Aunt Olivia's stomach ache disappear." Alice said with a wink.
I laughed as they went down the stairs. Then I had to face Edward.
I turned around…
"Hi." I said, looking at the ground.
"Hello." He said, staring at me.
"So…I'm just gonna…take a bath…ok…?" I said awkwardly.
"Sure." He said blankly.
I silently took my things and left for the bathroom.
After the warm water touched my skin, I dried my hair with my wand, put on a white button down shirt and jeans, threw on my Hogwarts robe I stepped out of the bathroom, only to find a very calm and composed Edward waiting for me.
"Hey there, ready?" He said, smiling.
"Hi. Yeah, let's go." I said, going down the stairs.
The walk to the Great Hall was silent…I didn't want silence. I wanted to know what happened.
"So….are you planning on telling me what happened…er, two nights ago?"
He suddenly turned rigid. I sighed.
"You're not gonna tell me." I said, sighing again.
"You don't remember?" He said blankly.
"I'm sorry. I can't." I said, confused.
He seemed to vacillate for a moment.
He sighed. "You…said…some…silly…things." He said, his voice sounding really heartbreaking.
"Really? Gosh…I wonder what I said. Anyway, I guess I didn't mean whatever I said."
"Yeah, I guess you didn't." He said, his voice getting sadder and sadder.
"Why so sad, Edward?" I said, taking his hand. It was the first time I held his hand in so many months. I missed the texture of his skin.
"Nothing, nothing." He said, giving my hand a light squeeze. I sighed in relief and held his hand tighter.
"Ok." I said, enjoying the feeling of holding his hand.
