Chapter Nine: Hangover
Her eyes blinked open immediately shutting them again as a bright irritating light entered her eyes. She covered her face with her blanket and pillow trying to ignore the pounding pain in her head hoping sleep would come again.
Usually she was the first up in her house making breakfast, singing a song, or even cleaning up the house a bit, but not this morning. She rolled on her side realizing arms were wrapped around her waist.
Where was she? Whose arms were wrapped around her waist?
She snapped up immediately regretting it as pain surged through her groggy head. "Good morning, sunshine." A voice greeted her. She blinked her blurry vision away and looked down below her as much as it was killing her to just go back to sleep. Beck's smiling face looking up at her was the first thing she saw once she finished rubbing her eyes. Oh, so that's whose arms were around her. But that only caused a million more questions to pop into her foggy, pounding brain.
Why was she wrapped in Beck's arms? What was she doing sleeping in his bed? And most importantly, what happened last night?
"What's wrong, Cat?" His voice boomed making her clutch her head.
She groaned loudly as she held her head in her hands. "Everything… too loud." She mumbled.
"Oh." He mumbled with a smile still present on his face as he hopped up from the small bed. He received the cup of orange juice, bottle of Gatorade, and the cinnamon roll he set out earlier for her. He felt bad that Cat was in pain, but he couldn't help but feel like the luckiest man alive because he had Cat. "Here, you have to eat and drink all of it. I think it would be better if you had some sort of greasy food in your stomach though." Beck thought out loud cursing himself for not bringing her the toast instead. "If your head still hurts in a hour, or so, I'll go get you some Advil."
"Thanks." Cat murmured nibbling on the cinnamon bun. The pounding in her head wouldn't go away. Flashes of last night popped in her mind. Nico, a guy she barely met, invited her to a party, she made Beck go with her, Nico gave her a fizzy drink, they sat and talked for a while, and then they played a game where you admitted something you've never done and whoever has done it had to remove an article of clothing. What was it called? Oh, Never Have I. But, what happened once they started playing the game?
Her mind went blank and her head was hurting from too much thinking.
"Um, Beck?" Cat called him after she took a sip from the yellow Gatorade. He gave his attention to her hoping that she would mention what they were after they shared that kiss. "What happened last night?" Ouch, that was not what he was expecting.
Beck blinked his eyes not sure if he heard her right. "Wait, you seriously don't remember?" Cat looked up in thought as if she was really trying to remember. Then she shook her head sadly. He could feel his heart crack in his chest. He sighed out not realizing he had been holding his breath. Last night, he couldn't help but think that all this tension between him and Cat was going to disappear and then he would admit his feelings for her to her. Because she basically admitted last night that she loved him, right?
But now that he knows she doesn't remember a thing that happened between them, how's he supposed to feel? Relieved? Happy? Disappointed? More like heartbroken and hurt. "Hey, Beck? Do you mind explaining to me what happened?" Beck pulled away from his thoughts to look at the redhead who was looking up at him with her big, brown, beautiful eyes.
"Sorry, I just lost my train of thought." How could he not? He always knew he felt something for Cat that he's never felt before for anyone and now that he knows what that was, what was he going to do? "Okay, so we went there and your friend, Nico, and his friend, Adam, gave us some spiked punch. Then Adam went somewhere while you and Nico were talking and I was forced to talk to this one obnoxious girl, Alyssa even though I really wanted to talk to you."
Cat smiled remembering how she got jealous because she really wanted to talk to him. The fact that he would rather talk to her than Alyssa made her feel special. "Nico left to get you something and I told you to sing to prove to Alyssa that you could sing way better than her. Nico came back and gave you these fizzy pops and you really loved them, he gave us some, and you two started talking again." Beck wasn't about to admit he was jealous though. That could go unmentioned. "Adam came back and told us that they were going to play Never Have I and Alyssa didn't want you to play, but you did anyways." Beck smiles remembering the look on Alyssa's face when Cat made Adam, him, and Nico chose her over Alyssa.
"You kept drinking those fizzy pops which was stronger in alcohol then the spiked punch. When we finished playing the game, I guess you got really drunk because you were stumbling and swaying a lot, and almost fell on your face when you stood up. I turned my back on you for only a minute just to put my shirt on, and when I turned to you, you were gone." Cat furrowed her eyebrows. Where did she go? "And so was Nico." Cat noticed the glare that was on Beck's face when he said that, but she decided not to say anything. "I was looking for you like crazy. I finally found you and you were singing on the small stage."
"Oh my god."
"It wasn't half bad." Beck chuckled to himself seeing that Cat was embarrassed. She wouldn't have put her face in her hands if she wasn't. "Nico was really trying to get you upstairs though. He even tried forcing you to go upstairs. I stopped him and you tried to warn me about something, but I stopped you because I thought you were going to say that you wanted to stay. The next thing I knew, you puked all over floor!" Cat groaned loudly in disgust. "Once we finally left, you told me that he was trying to…" Beck stopped; he couldn't finish that sentence. It made him sick to his stomach.
"He was trying to what?" Cat asked curiously. She wanted to know if he was trying to do something to her.
Beck sighed looking at his hands awkwardly. "You said that he was trying to… have sex with you." Cat looked down at her hands too.
"Oh." She whispered in realization.
"Cat? I need to know something." Did you mean it when you said you loved me, wanted to come out, but when she looked up at him with those eyes again, he decided against it. She already had a lot on her shoulders. He didn't want to put anything more. "Did Nico do anything to you when I was looking for you," came out instead.
Cat looked down at her heads trying hard to remember. She couldn't remember anything past when that kid with the beanie admitted something. Anything past that was either blank or a blurry haze. "No… that's kind of why I'm asking you." Cat couldn't help but notice how Beck looked down angrily, like something else was bugging him. Like something was hurting him. She hoped it wasn't her. Then, something blurry popped into her mind.
She remembered being led somewhere, by Nico, and he gave her something. She was feeling really, really dizzy, and hazy, and then a lot of kissing, and kissing, and kissing happened. She remembered wanting it to be Beck instead of Nico. Then everything after that was blank.
"Wait." Beck turned to Cat seeing that she was deep in thought. "I remember kissing." Kissing me? Beck hoped. "Lots and lots of kissing." Oh, there wasn't a lot of kissing between us. She had her eyes closed with her hands pressed against her forehead. "It was with Nico. Ugh, my head hurts too much." She mumbled the last part.
Beck, angry that he kissed Cat after she had a make-out session with that-that… jerk, harshly grabbed the small bottle of pain killers and shoved it into her hands. "I'm taking a shower." He grumbled as he stomped off into the bathroom slamming the door behind him. Cat blinked.
What's up with him?
After swallowing two red pills with the yellow Gatorade, she grabbed her pink pear phone. It lit up as many messages and missed calls popped up. "Oh my god." Cat groaned growing more and more embarrassed as she read through the messages that she sent and people's responses. She sighed putting her head in her hands.
So that's what Ke$ha meant by putting her drunk text on in that one song.
So… how was that? I know it's kind of slow, but just wait until the next chapter. Let's just say, Nico tells Cat something that might ruin Beck and Cat's friendship forever. O: Well, I can't wait to see what you guys think.
