Hungover.
Dead.
That's how she was feeling right now. The party was all too much for her body right now and she was feeling the pain.
Jazmine threw the covers off her body as a sudden wave of heat rushed through her blood. She was stretched out across her queen-sized bed as she accepted the breeze onto her body. She needed this air. As she felt herself going back into a deep slumber, she felt it.
'Oh for fuck sake.' Jazmine thought before running into her bathroom and straight to the toilet. She threw open the seat and spilled last night's context into the bowl. Her eyes began to water from how painful the vomiting was.
Once she was done, Jazmine began to clean herself up. Looking in the mirror her hair looking a mess, it was sticking out in different directions, some parts were slicked down from the gel, others were just a full afro. She'll deal with that later.
The hungover teen dragged her feet back to her bed and sat on the edge. On the bed side table, there was some painkillers and water that she had taken to her room when she got in. She didn't want to hear her parents complaining in the morning so this was her way to avoid them until she sobered up.
Jazmine still felt a bit sick but didn't feel as if she was going to vomit again. She swallowed the tablet with a mouthful of water, showing how dehydrated she felt. Lying down on her bed she heard a message from her phone.
*One message from: Husband. *
Ah Huey. She was grateful that he text her because her head wouldn't take the talking. The less noise now the better. Jazmine looked at the time and saw it was already 1pm and sighed to herself. She slept for about 8 hours but still didn't feel fully rested.
Huey: Hey, how you feeling this morning?
'How am I feeling this morning?' She asked herself sarcastically before answering.
Jazmine: Like shit. I shall never drink or smoke again. I just vomited before you texted. How are you?
Huey: You say that now but when we go out again, you're going to want to join in. Make sure you drink lots of water and stay hydrated. I'm fine, just a minor headache.
Jazmine was always jealous of Huey. He would have the same amount or even more of alcohol or weed as everyone else but still be active the next day while everyone else feels like they got hit by a car. It was just unfair.
Jazmine: Well aren't you fucking lucky.
Huey: Very blessed.
Jazmine: Sarcasm Huey. Sarcasm.
Huey: Just relax Jazzy, you'll be fine.
Jazmine: I know, just took some pills, going to hibernate for the rest of my days.
Huey: Fine by me.
Jazmine: I love you xx.
Huey: Love you too x.
Jazmine put her phone down with a sigh. Every time she heard Huey tell her she loved him it made her have butterflies in her stomach and that's not because she's feeling sick. He makes her so happy and brings the best out of her. Now you may think the drinking and smoking was bad but Huey did try and keep her away from it but she wanted to do it. He couldn't stop her so he made sure that he was around as often as he could to take care of her.
She made her way downstairs slowly trying not to move too much that would cause her headache to become worse than it already was. She had grabbed her pink fluffy dressing gown to cover herself and it was defiantly doing its job. As Jazmine reached the bottom of the step, she could hear light talking from the kitchen so decided to walk in there. Once she reached, she saw her mother and father cooking and talking, which was very weird to see.
Once Sarah saw her daughter, she quickly whipped her hands on a nearby towel and pulled her into a hug.
"You're finally awake! How was the party last night?" Sarah asked the young girl. Jazmine got flashbacks to her and Huey and had to hold back her giggle which made her seem crazy.
"It was alright."
"Alright? You came back late last night and you say it was just alright?" Tom questioned her which made Jazmine roll her eyes.
"Yeah. It wasn't much of my scene so I didn't go all out. The music was good since Hiro and Caesar was in charge."
"Well that's good, at least you enjoyed some of it." Her mother replied as she went back to cooking with Tom.
Why was it so odd to see her two married parents working peaceful together and actually enjoying each other's company?
"Well why don't you go and relax. You can pick out a movie we can all watch while dinner is cooking." Tom told her with Sarah agreeing next to him.
"Yeah, we just have a few things to finish up and we will be right out. You and I can even make some cake later if you would like?" Her mother asked her daughter.
"I would like that." The family of three all looked at each and smiled, all were happy for once.
Despite having the headache, Jazmine wanted to jump up and down but had to stop herself. Her family actually felt like a family but she didn't know how long it would last. This happened at least twice every month and she didn't understand how her parents still had the energy to stay together. Jazmine understood that if you really love each other, then you should fight for each other but their love seemed to have run out a long time ago. They keep trying to relight a burnt match.
Jazmine sighed as she began to look for a movie to watch, something that won't give her an even larger headache than what she already had. Hangovers are really no fun. She found a film and went into the kitchen to go get some snack. It sounds bad since she just woke up but it was later in the day and she had nothing in her stomach, she needed this. Also, who watches movies without snack?
"I found a movie." Jazmine told her parents as she grabbed herself a drink.
"Lovely, we are coming now." Her mother said and all three walked in the living room where the movie was set up.
They all sat together, got comfortable and pressed play. Jazmine looked over at her parents. She thought they would sit next to each but cooking together was as far as the affection would go today it seemed. The both clung onto her as if scared she would leave them alone with each other. As the only child, she couldn't do nothing to try and save their marriage by encouraging them to sit next to each other so she just sat there and watched the movie.
Her parents had a long way to go but for right now, she was trying to recover from the fucking hangover.
