I woke up at 12:00 noon. Once I woke up, of course, I felt miserable. Not only did I have a horrible hangover, but I was beating myself up inside about the whole thing in the first place. As soon as my eyes opened, I started to cry extremely hard.
Wonka heard this, and he came in a moment later to see what the matter was.
"What's the matter Bridget?"
I couldn't stop crying, no matter how hard I tried.
"Here, sit up. Now just calm down, okay? Don't worry I'm right here."
"I got drunk last night! I'm a horrible person!"
"No you aren't. Look, I know you don't like it when other people do it. I would just like to know why you did it."
When I finally got enough breath to speak again, I spoke as calmly as I was able to.
"I'm sorry. I had so many things running through my head. I have had so many things to worry about lately, and I just wanted it all to stop. It was getting so hard for me to live each day. I thought it would make me feel better."
With that I began to cry again.
"Don't worry. I have been there, too. I wasn't proud of myself the day after the wedding. I'm still not. Just relax; I will take care of Starr today. You don't have to do any work."
"No! I can't do that to you! That's way too much work for you and I won't let you do that to yourself. I will go about my normal business."
"You have never been hung-over, have you? Trust me; you will not be doing what you usually do."
"Yes I will. What do you know?"
I quickly sat up, which created an instant feeling of dizziness and pain.
"Oh, my head…"
"Here, hang on a second."
He got the pillow on the other side of my bed and put it over the one I was using so I could sit up.
"Ok, just slowly lie back, it won't hurt."
I did as he said, and it felt better once I laid back. My stomach hurt very badly, and I had a huge headache.
"I will go get you some coffee and some aspirin; just like you did for me."
"But I don't drink coffee."
"That doesn't matter. It will help you."
When he came back I became very emotional. I really wanted to be held right now, because I felt like the worst person on earth. I needed some sort of love to calm me down. Without my asking, he did just that, and as I sat there in his arms, I felt a lot better.
