Double Date

R.T

My hangover isn't actually that bad. I have a little bit of a headache and my stomach is a bit icky but other than that I am perfectly fine. Unlike Eddie, who is currently throwing up his insides on the side of a road on the way to my parents. I'm sat in the car because if I see him puke, I'll puke too and I don't want to do that.

"Feeling better?" I ask as he sits down in the passengers seat, wiping his mouth. He closes the door, buckles his seat belt and leans against the window tiredly. He really doesn't look good.

"No." He croaks out and I pass him a bottle of water I packed. He undoes the lid and brings it to his lips as I continue to drive.

"Small sips." I say and he nods as he takes small sips of the water. He screws the lid back on and places the bottle into the cup holder." Is it okay if I smoke?"

"I may be sick again if you do." He groans and I nod, even if I'm itching for a cigarette." I can't believe I fell asleep in a fucking bathtub!"

"It was hilarious." I laugh and he rolls his eyes. He was very disoriented when he was woken up at three am. He ending up sleeping in my dormitory after throwing up in the elevator.

We pull into my parents drive way and get out of the car. I carry Eddie's stuff to the door and put the key in the keyhole. Eddie seems relieved as we enter my parents. He's wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. I'm wearing a hoodie, my leather jacket and some jeans.

"You look rough." Dad says to Eddie, who slumps down onto the couch. Dad chuckles and I shake my head, knowing Eddie is likely to get snappy at him because he isn't feeling well.

"Why don't you lie down? I'll grab a blanket." I suggest. Eddie kicks off his shoes and lies down on the sofa. I go to the airing cupboard and pull out a big fluffy blanket. I place it over Eddie and then head to the bathroom.

I grab a bucket for incase he's sick and I place it beside the couch. Eddie's watching the TV, my dad was watching some nature channel. Eddie's eyes are droopy and he looks as if he could fall asleep any second. I smile and then head to the kitchen, opening the medicine cabinet and pulling out some aspirin. I grab a glass and fill it with water. I go back to the living room and pass them to him. He takes the aspirin and then sighs.

"How're you feeling?" I ask, sitting on the arm of the sofa, stroking his hair gently. He's all sweaty but I don't really mind.

"Tired." He replies.

"Have a nap, then." I say. He sighs and then closes his eyes. I look at my dad and he's smiling at us over the top of the newspaper he's reading. Eddie starts snoring, signalling he's asleep.

"You're so in love with him. You look at him the way I look at your mother." Dad says. I blush slightly and pull my hand away from Eddie's hair, standing up.

"What time is Rachel getting here?" I ask. May and Rachel are staying over and sleeping on the air mattress in the living room.

"Should be here by three and your mother finishes work at five." Dad replies. I nod and glance over at Eddie. He is so cute when he's sleeping." You're staring again!"

"Shut up." I chuckle, sitting down on the floor and watching the TV, even if this nature documentary is boring as fuck. But, Rachel and May get here in an hour so I'll be less bored when I have people to talk to other than my father. I love my dad but we don't really talk about many things.

"WHAT'S UP FUCKERS?!" Rachel yells as she enters the house, May laughing. I look at Eddie, who groans in his sleep and turns away from me so his head is pressed up against the back of the sofa.
