A/N Sorry for the late chapter, There really is no excuse except for the fact that I am a big procrastinator and I didn't feel like writing over the winter break, or the first week of school.
"I'm gonna get even." I stated with a smile.
"Get even, hmm? How are you going to pull that off?" Rosalie asked. It was like she was actually interested…wow, that's never happened before.
"I…I'm not exactly sure," I replied, pointing at her drunkenly, "but I know that it will be good, it will piss him off and make me very happy." My words had a slight slur to them.
"You know, I think that that is a brilliant idea. Better than moping around your house and getting fat because you're to miserable to do anything else," she had a smile on her face, "do you mind if I ask to join you with making the asshole's life a living hell?"
"You know what? I really like you Rose, and I think that you have a devious side in that brain of your, so I'll let you help. I'm surprised though, that you actually want to help."
"Yeah? Well I'm surprised that you can still speak coherently with the amount of alcohol you've had tonight," She chuckled lightly, "Lets just say that this has happened to the best of us, and I'll be damned if I don't get to help ruin one of these guys. Plus, this seems like it will be a hell of a lot fun," She had one those evil planning smiles on her face, much like the one I saw earlier. As long as that smile isn't directed at me, I think I'm going to like what's on her mind.
"I should get going, I need to find a motel or something," I mumbled, clumsily jumping off the bar stool I was until now sitting on, swaying slightly. The alcohol really didn't help with my balance problems I already have.
"Wow, wow, wow, you're not driving anywhere in the state you're in. Why don't you take a seat and I will call one of your friends to come pick you up, okay?"
"No…no that's not okay." I said, the was now a tremble in my voice that joined the slurring of my words, "I don't have any friends. All the people I know are his friends, and I don't want to see anyone in relation with him!" I think I was almost in tears by now. NO, I don't want or need to cry, he doesn't deserve it.
"O-okay, well then…" She looked at the clock; I think she was trying to figure out how to get rid of me. Ha, I wouldn't put it past her, that's exactly what I wanted to do myself with the way I was acting, but that's quite impossible. Hmmm…I wonder- I was knocked out of my musings by Rosalie, who apparently had something with substance to add to my little tirade. She wasn't looking at me, so she hadn't noticed when my eyes had glazed over before.
"Look, my shift is now over, so why don't you stay the night at my place, my roommate is more than welcoming, actually she's a lot more welcoming than your probably used to. But she's welcoming all the same." She had a really genuine smile on her face now, if you didn't notice how beautiful she was before, that smile would have tipped you off.
"Well, ah, okay." It's not like I had any better options, and it would certainly be nice for the obvious hangover I'm going to have in the morning. It was good to know that I would have some comfort, at least for tonight, be it a bed or a couch.
I woke up the next morning in a haze. My head was pounding, there was a ringing in my ears, and I had distinct cottony feeling in my mouth. I'm sure this was a hangover…something happened last night. I'm not sure I want to remember now. So I'll think about something else, like where the hell I ended up after supposedly drinking out the entire bar!
I could tell I was on a couch, a very comfortable one at that, but didn't know anything farther. I'm sure this wasn't good; it went with the whole hazing aspect.
There was lighting shining through my closed eyes, which, I realized, was not going to be good when I actually decided to open them. My senses starting coming back to me. There were voices off in the distance, one I kind of recognized, and one I'm pretty sure I've never heard before. This furthered my confusion. Where exactly did I end up last night?
Wait is that coffee I smell? My mouth started to water at the prospect of being able to get coffee into my system. I decided that now would be any better, so I slowly opened my eyes…and closed them much faster. That was some bright light!
"Do you think she's awake yet?"
Hmmm, do you think they could be talking about me?
"Maybe, Alice just let her wake up on her own. Don't bug her."
The smell of coffee got stronger, hell this Alice girl could bug me all she wants, just as long as I get some coffee.
I opened my eyes again, this time much more cautious of the light. And came face to face with a little pixie…or at least that's what she looked like. She was very tiny, with small features, and a big grin on her face. She had spiky black hair and shining green eyes. She was also vibrating, like she had all this pent up energy that was sure to burst at any second. In her hands was a cup of coffee, black. It smelled amazing.
As if she knew what I was thinking, she handed the cup to me.
"I didn't know how you liked it so it's black, but if you want I can grab you some cream, or sugar, if you like sugar." She was talking pretty fast, and in my still haze it was a little hard to understand.
"Ummm, blacks fine." I half mumbled, half croaked. Man yes my throat sore.
"I'm Alice by the way, Rosalie's roommate. She told me about last night. I'm so sorry. That guy was such an asshole, I'm sure what ever you have coming for him will be brilliant." She kept on talking but I couldn't understand anything else.
I took the pills offered from Alice's outstretched hand, looking over her shoulder while taking a sip of my coffee to wash the Tylenol down. I took notice of Rosalie standing right behind her. She had a small smile on her face, not as big as the one on Alice's face, but friendly none the less.
Suddenly everything just came flooding back. Coming home early. Catching Jake in a very compromising position with another woman. Going to a bar and getting piss ass drunk. Rosalie offering a place to stay for the night.
Urrg, this headache was just going to get worse wasn't it?
I must have groaned out loud because Alice stopped talking and they both stared at me.
"Oh, are you okay? I'm sorry I've been talking so much, I wasn't even thinking. Do you want to was up or something? You can use our shower." She sounded really concerned and considerate.
Wow, she doesn't even know me and she's being so much more compassionate than Jake ever was.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just everything from last night catching up to me. But I would love to take you up on you're offering of a shower. Since I didn't get a chance yesterday with everything else." I tried giving a smile, I'm not sure if it worked or if it was more like a grimace.
"Of course, I'll get you some towels and when you're done we can all talk and make a plan to get him back." She replied.
"Wait, what do you mean all of us?" I asked just slightly confused.
"Well you don't expect me to just sit around while you two have all the fun." She giggled. "Now get your but off that couch and go take a shower, you will feel much better after." She was already bossing me around, and pulling me towards the bathroom. I haven't even known this girl for very long.
"Trust me; this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." She winked, while closing the bathroom door in my face. I sighed and turned to the tub. It would be nice to relax.
A/N I didn't like how this ended, but I couldn't put what I wanted into words so this will have to do.
Again sorry for the lateness, but I seriously had to kick myself to finish this, for the few who actually read this. So yeah, I would love to now what you guys think. It would mean a lot to me… :)
