I got smoke in my hair
My clothes thrown everywhere
Woke up in my rocking chair
Holding a beer in my hand
Sporting a neon tan
What happened? I really don't remember a whole lot from last night. I mean. I remember Joe's. Being there with Izzy, Meredith, Derek, Alex, Christina and Burke… And I'm still holding a bottle of beer. And I'm on Meredith's front porch on the swing. My back is KILLING me.
My stereo cranked up
I can't find my truck
How'd I get home from the club
Ain't got a clue what went down
So I started calling around
And so's my head, for that matter. My hand slips into my pocket, searching until my hand closes over my cell phone. I slip it out and flip it open to find 12 missed calls. Apparently Meredith and Izzy had been tag teaming me since 5 this morning. There's even one from Alex and Christina.
And all my friends say
I started shooting doubles
When you walked in
All my friends say
I went a little crazy
Seeing you with him
You know I don't remember a thing
But they say I sure was raising some game
I was a rock star, party hard,
Getting over you comeback kid
Yay I must have did
What all my friends say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
The first voice mail was from Izzy.
"Hey Rock star. How's the head feeling? What time are you supposed to come in today?"
Rock star? When did Izzy start calling me rock star? Meredith sent the next message.
"Hey George. You drank me under the table last night. I didn't know you had it in you. Derek was impressed. He didn't think anyone could drink more tequila than me."
Well, that explained the headache. The next message was from Alex.
"Dude. I didn't think anyone could out drink Meredith. And that hot little nurse that was all over you? That was awesome man. I bet you're feeling it today, aren't you?"
Well, that would also explain the teeth marks on my shoulder. The next voicemail was from Christina.
"Bambi, you were never this much fun before ortho chick. And you probably wouldn't have been that much fun last night if you hadn't seen ortho chick all over that guy."
I guess that's why I started the night of binge drinking.
I found my billfold
I cried oh no no
Good time Charlie got me now I'm broke
But it was worth acting like a fool
Yeah girl I must have really showed you
Cause all my friends say
I started shooting doubles
When you walked in
All my friends say
I went a little crazy
Seeing you with him
You know I don't remember a thing
But they say I sure was raising some game
I was a rock star, party hard,
Getting over you comeback kid
Yay I must have did
What all my friends say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Sighing and rubbing a hand over my face, I stood up and walked into Meredith's house. Meredith had been letting me spend the nights on her couch until I found somewhere more permanent to stay. Izzy had suggested her room, but she'd been doing the super cheery let's pretend nothing's wrong thing since the night that Callie found out. It was how she was dealing with me not answering her about what she was to me. There hasn't been any yelling. Or screaming. Just bubbliness. She knows I need her right now. As a friend, anyway, nothing more.
I was Elvis rocking on the bar
Working the crowd pouring out my heart
And all my friends say
I started shooting doubles
When you walked in
All my friends say
I went a little crazy
Seeing you with him
You know I don't remember a thing
But they say I sure was raising some game
I was a rock star, party hard,
Getting over you comeback kid
Yay I must have did
What all my friends say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
"Hey killer. How's the head?"
"I'm never drinking that much again, Joe. Ever."
"Just tell me one thing. Are we going to get a repeat of you rocking out like Elvis on top of the bar? Cause I've been getting requests…."
