Oh....
My head....
Is...
Killing me!!!!
Ooohhh...this is the part that I hate the most. I rub my eyes, holding my head in one hand. Where the hell am I? Oh, dude.... I'm on the floor, in my room, next to my bed. What the hell am I doing on the floor? Ok.. this is weird.. damn! My temples are pounding!! Dude!! Suddenly, I feel an arm wrap around me..
What? Why am I totally not wearing any clothes?? Dude...where are my clothes? Oh..this is bad....this is not good... I lift the blanket to get a look at who is next to me, all over me.
"Ivette?" I whisper to the blurry, but beautiful naked girl next to me. She lets out a little moan and grabs me tighter. Oh....my.....God... My eyes open wider than they've ever opened. No way!!!! No fucking way!!! I start to nervously look around the room. Why is Shane passed out on my bed with Vanessa??? Why?? Awe, dude..he could've at least put a blanket over himself...gross!
"Marah???" I turn and stare in disbelief at the girl next to me. And it's Marah!! It is so Marah!! Oh fuck! What did I do?? Where's Ivette?? Oh my God, where's Tori?? Oh God, I don't remember anything! This is not good. The apartment is quiet..too quiet...and I'm afraid to get up...
I carefully peel Marah's arm from around me, our naked flesh sticking to each other. I slowly, without waking her, free myself from the blanket and stand up, totally in my birthday suit! Dammit!!! This dizzy, head pounding, oh shit-I'm-about-to-hurl-my-brains-out feeling hits me like a speeding train. Oh this sucks! And where are my boxers? Oh, well.... I carefully step over Marah and reach into my boxer drawer. Slowly, quietly, not to wake anyone. Don't want them to see my bare ass in the air, thank you very much. It's bad enough Shane's hangin' out all over the place.. I grab the darkest, most unrevealing pair I own and slip them on. I look around my room for Ivette, or anyone else, but there's no one else in here..
I slowly open the door and just as slowly, walk out of my room and gently close the door behind me...
"Congratulations!!!!!" Cam's voice echoes throughout the dead apartment, scaring the shit out of me, "You're the first one to wake up!!" Cam pauses "Well, aside from me, of course.."
I spin around and stare at my green friend like I've just seen a ghost.
"Want some?" Cam holds a mug of coffee in the air.
"N-No thanks." I say, standing against the door to my room in my navy blue and yellow boxer shorts. Navy blue and yellow, huh.......what a shitty combination... I look around and notice cups, chips and bodies scattered all over the living room floor. Bodies, but none of them are Tori...or Ivette....or Blake...or Hunter...
"Yeah...if these people are your friends, D," Cam lifts one eyebrow and shakes his head, "I feel sorry for you."
"Dude, so you're really just sitting here, with all these passed out people all around you?" I ask, fighting my urge to vomit all over the place.
"Well, gee, is that what you conclude from your observation? Is that your final answer? What does it look like??" Cam sarcastically speaks, seemingly as unhappy with his surroundings as me.
"Well, dude, I was just...you know..it's just kinda creepy, if you ask me.." I slightly giggle, "Oh and by the way, these people are not my friends, bro. I don't know who the hell they are.."
"Well, for the record I didn't ask you, and.." Cam looks up at me and smiles before sipping his coffee, "That's good to know."
That horrible, sick, emotional feeling is tearing me apart right along with that horrible, sick, physical feeling. "Oh this is bullshit!!!" I bark, holding my head.
"Hangover much?" Cam says," Dude, that's what happens..ya know I just don't get people.."
"Dude, I am so stupid!"
"Ah, realization of the ever present obvious!" Cam laughs. "Just kidding."
I look at Cam. I always kinda wished that I could be like him. Smart like him. Then I wouldn't have this nasty hangover..or this aching heart...
"What a night...what a night.." Cam shakes his head sipping his coffee some more.
"Dude, that coffee looks black." I say.
"That's because it is, Dustin...wow....you did get smarter, huh?" Sarcasm always. Same old Cam.
"What happened last night?" I ask.
"Well, being that yours truly was the only sober one of the entire party last night, that is a question I can answer...that is, of course, if you really want to know.." Cam smirks.
"Oh...God.." I sigh.. "Do I really wanna know?"
"Hey, you asked.. I don't ever have to speak of last night ever again...but I'm sure you've already realized that you did have sex with my cousin. That's #1." Cam says, bringing the mug up to his lips.
I grunt, grabbing at my hair...Uuuuuggghhh!!!! Why did I – Oh dammit!! This is bad....this is so bad...
"Oh...dude...this is beyond bad....this is....so...bad!!!" I panic.
"Oh...it gets so much worse.." Cam assures.
"Tell me what happened, Cam.." I say, walking over the mess, stepping over random bodies. I plop on the opposite end of the couch facing Cam.
"Dude.." Cam..or...Cyber Cam...says making an uneasy face, "Can you put some clothes on?"
"Just tell me!" I bark.
"Oh, alright already!" Cam places his mug of black coffee onto the table.
"Where's Ivette?" I ask.
"I'll get to that.." Cam starts. I sit, nervous as all hell...please don't tell me that Tori slept with anyone, please...Oh dude, please... "Ok..so...lets see...and these events may not be in any direct order...um...so we played spin the bottle...and let me tell you...it was becoming a task to keep you and Blake from each other.."
"What?????" What? He doesn't mean..."Oh no!!" I cover my face with a pillow.
"I didn't even say anything yet." Cam laughs, "So, Blake and Tori made out, like, finally, in front of all of us and you completely had a major shit fit. Luckily, you were too drunk to do much so we basically killed that situation..we all just tried to keep the both of you away from each other and preoccupied...boy did you get preoccupied..ahem..but anyway...."
"What? What's that supposed to mean??" I bark.
"Just listen! Oh! And on top of all the straight liquor you had, you smoked an entire blunt to the face, which is totally illegal, and in my opinion, way too much drugs for one person, but in the delinquent idiot category, you, by far, take home the gold...actually come to think of it..this entire party was 'illegal'...wow...I feel like I'm stuck in a really bad teen movie..." Cam sighs, shaking his head. I just stare blankly at him, like WTF?? He continues, "But, that is way off subject...so, anyway..you basically made out with everyone...With an exception of me – so don't get it twisted – Tori, Blake, Shane...um...some dude ..well anyway...you get the picture.." Cam pauses.. " But wait...there is a name that I hadn't mentioned in the excluding list..." Cam starts to laugh, "Dude, you and Hunter were all over each other!!!"
"What?" No way!! Dammit! I wish I could've been sober for that! Or at least remember it...
"Yes, my friend, you and the crimson one totally went at it...I'm surprised you two didn't wake up next to each other... Tori really enjoyed that part..actually all the girls liked that a little too much..you know, D, when you drink, you're like a horny little girl..it's rather amusing." Cam laughs.
"Dude! This is so not funny!" I scold. I feel like shit. I feel disgusting.
"Sorry..ok...so...to make a long story short, Shane screwed Vanessa, you got head from a very drunk Ivette but, you had sex with my cousin..Tori and Blake both passed out so, I honestly don't know what happened there..and – don't go postal on this ok..."
"Oh no.." I brace myself...but I think I already know.
"Hunter and Ivette..yeah.." Cam picked up his mug and took a huge gulp.
I swallowed hard, my heart, my stomach, and my head in all kinds of knots and twists. Hunter and Ivette? Oh man... I know, I know... I said I didn't want to like her.. and I said I didn't care.. but it hurts... I care..and this all sucks so much...
"Um...all the way?" I ask, in denial of all this obvious around me.
"Sorry, Dustin." Cam's voice seems genuinely sympathetic. And I'm feeling way sick now.
"Dude, I'm gonna hurl!" I run, making my way to the bathroom.
"Dustin, wait! You don't wanna –"Cam had tried to warn me that Ivette and Hunter were passed out together on the bathroom floor. Seeing that, made it worse.
Somehow, I leap over them and vomit my insides out into the toilet. I fall over onto the floor, my head against the bowl. My whole body hurts.. inside and out...Oh, here it comes again... I quickly jolt up and hurl some more..this time, flushing.
Cam suddenly appears, standing in the doorway, "You okay?" He softly asks.
"Fine....thanks Cam." I say, swallowing the disgusting taste of vomit.
"You sure?" Cam asks again.
"I just wanna forget this whole thing." I say, pulling myself up again to continue to hurl my brains out.
"Forgotten." Cam says.
