Just Friends- Gonna Throw Up!!
Oh my freakin' god! I'm gonna throw up! Where the hell am I? Oh crap I'm gonna throw up all over the place if I don't find the bathroom!
??-It's right through that door on the left.
I hear come from somewhere under the covers. I don't question anything since I can barely hold in the vomit. I barely make it to the toilet before I puke out anything I ever ate. I slowly flash back to the scene in the wedding singer where the kid is throwing up in the dumpster; I think a boot came out of me. I stay in the room for the next few minutes making sure it all came out of me before heading back into the room. I'm still too tired to logically think about where I'm at but as I begin to crawl back into the bed I see Seth's hair peak out from under the covers. At least I'm with friends. About 3 minutes later I begin to get that familiar ache in my stomach and my breathing quickly increases, not what you're thinking dirty minds, I'm gonna throw up again! I run back to the bathroom just in time again. When I get back into the room I see Summer in the bed with Seth waiting for me. She looks quite amused at my pitiful appearance.
Summer-Morning sunshine!
Alex-You're just lucky I can't move enough to kick your ass.
I decide to lie on the floor instead of joining the pair on the bed; I need my space right now.
Summer-What? I didn't make you drink that much.
Alex-Ugh, I think I'm gonna die!
Summer-Well here, drink this.
She handed me bottled water which I greedily drank from.
Seth-So, did you have fun last night?
Alex-I guess…but I don't think it's worth it.
Another wave of slightly bearable nausea ran through me. I also couldn't keep my eyes open, but I couldn't sleep either.
Summer-Well I'm just glad you're still alive, you really had us all scared last night.
Alex-Why?
Seth-Well, the uncontrollable shaking and not being able to feel any warmth kinda freaked us out.
That's when everything came back full force, I had to clench my eyes shut to ward off more nausea but I remembered a lot, including where I currently was.
Alex-Sorry guys, did I do anything bad?
Marissa then of course chose this moment to come back into what I could only assume to be her room.
Marissa-Finally you're awake! God damn Alex you scared me!
The force of her words startled everyone in the room and she quickly calmed down but the tension was still rolling off of her.
Alex-I'm sorry I was stupid.
Summer-We were just telling Alex about the bad things she did last night.
Marissa-Sounds exciting, what'd she do?
Marissa sank down onto the floor with me. Sensing I was in pain she began to gently rub my back.
Summer-Well do you remember a certain fifteen year old Ms. Kelly?
Alex-Amber? What the hell did I do?
I feel Marissa stiffen next to me and she stops rubbing my back which is kinda good since I was feeling nauseas again.
Summer-You tell me? Where did you guys disappear to?
I try searching my brain but I'm coming up severely blank. But that could also be due to the fact that I again have to throw up. This time I calmly make my way to the bathroom to throw up what can only be described as pure water and phlegm. When I walk back out into the room the others actually begin to look pretty concerned about me.
Seth-You need something to settle your stomach.
Alex-No, I need sleep but first I need to find out what I did with Amber.
I couldn't let go of the curiosity.
Summer-Well all I know is that you two disappeared together for a good fifteen minutes, and in the car you said "guys, is it bad if I have a crush on a fifteen year old."
Alex-No way! I said that out loud? I thought I just said that in my head!
Seth-Nope, out loud for the world to hear. Then you started giggling and said you couldn't tell us what happened. So, what did happen?
Alex-I don't know! I really don't remember. I don't think I did anything, she's fifteen and I don't even remember what she looked like!
Seth-Well I don't know but we should go get you something to settle your stomach.
Marissa-There's nothing here, I guess my parents are on some big trip so it's just me until Kaitlin comes home tomorrow.
Summer-Alright, Seth and I will go get supplies. You just sleep hun.
Alex-Okay.
I was already kinda drifting off to sleep on the floor as they said these things but then I felt some hands begin to lift me up, I helped myself as they set me back onto the bed and into some weird dream world. A while later Seth and Summer returned with Soups and Cokes, which they said would help to settle my stomach. I proved them wrong as I threw up everything they put into my stomach. A few hours and lots of dry heaving later we all agreed that a shower would help me feel better. It didn't and I almost threw up a few times during said shower but I made it through. Eventually Summer and Seth decided it was time for them to go home unfortunately I couldn't go home because my parents would kill me for being so hung-over, so Marissa offered to take me later back to the airport so I could head back home to Berkeley, and since my parents didn't even know I was coming down for the weekend it would all be okay. The entire day Marissa had been acting the same, except for little moments when I would catch her eye and it would appear she was trying to convey something I couldn't quite put my finger on. As we were riding back to the airport we stopped to get something to eat but I couldn't even keep that down! I must have really messed myself up! I never threw up so many times in one day, at least not without having the stomach flu or something equally horrible. Finally as we were getting close to the airport Marissa finally spoke to me honestly.
Marissa-You really scared me last night Alex.
I could tell this wasn't the right time to apologize.
Marissa-Do you know what could have happened? You could have died! How could you drink so much and with people you don't even know!
She was getting more and more emotional but she wasn't quite crying.
Alex-I'm sorry, I really did mess up and trust me I'm paying for it now.
Marissa-Just, promise never to do that again!
Alex-I promise.
We arrived at my drop off location and she got out of her car to help me with my suitcase.
Alex- This is gonna be a fun ride with my hangover.
I smiled a bit trying to lighten the semi-heavy mood. Marissa just wrapped her arms around me in a hug.
Marissa-I'm glad you're okay, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.
She quickly pulled away and got back into her car. I could only dumbly wave goodbye to her as she drove away. As I was checking in for my flight I felt the phone in my pocket vibrate. I shuddered as I read who it was from.
Amber-Hey there sexy! How r u feeling?
She must have put her number in my phone yesterday and I must've stupidly given her mine. I hit the erase button on the text then erased her number. I don't need to be reminded of that mistake!
AN- True story! That was the WORST hang-over I've ever had in my entire life! I really did not feel better until the Sunday after the party! I wanted to die! Except instead of a plane ride, I had a car ride back home to endure, SUCKED! And the whole Amber thing, yeah there's really some fifteen year old out there I may have statutorily raped, but if I can't remember it it didn't happen right? Right! So yeah, I finally updated, don't know when I'll do it again…I like being a mystery like that! Who knows I may update again by Monday…no promises though.
