The Party: The Complete Series

Chapter Three- The morning after

~~Marcus's point of view~~

I wake up to Turner yelling "Dada" into the monitor. I feel someone move next to me.

What the fuck did I do last night?

I sit up and look.

Marcus: "What the fuck are you doing in my bed, Brooklyn?"

She sits up and gives a sarcastic laugh.

Brooklyn: "Don't even. You forced me to sleep in here."

Marcus: "No, I didn't."

I don't know if I did or not. I can't remember shit after leaving the bathroom with her.

Brooklyn: "Whatever, Marcus. I'm going to get your son."

She leaves my bed.

Marcus: "Cute Pajamas."

Brooklyn: "Fuck you, Marcus."

She seems angry; I get up and go to the kitchen; I'm not hungover; I just can't remember anything.

I hear little feet; She had changed him and gotten him dressed; she must have put him down at the steps. I know he's coming for me by the sound of his feet. He turns the corner and runs to me with his arms up. As soon as I pick him up, my doorbell rings. I hear Brooklyn in the living room, so I let her get it.

I put Turner in his highchair and make coffee.

I hear the conversation going on in my living room.

Ryder: "Are you ok?"

Brooklyn: "I'm fine."

Ryder: "You had me worried. You didn't let me know anything last night."

Is Brooklyn with Ryder now?

Brooklyn: "I didn't have the chance or choice."

Ryder: "How bad was it?"

Brooklyn: "I handled it."

Ryder: "Looks like you lost by the looks of it."

Brooklyn: "I'm ok."

Did I hurt her?

I pour some Cheerios on Turner's tray.

Ryder: "Is he up?"

Brooklyn: "In the kitchen, I assume. That's where Turner went when I let him down."

Ryder: "Ok."

Brooklyn: "Thank you for everything last night."

Ryder: "Anytime."

He comes to the kitchen.

Marcus: "Morning."

Ryder: "Morning."

He kisses Turner's head.

Ryder: "How are you feeling?"

Marcus: "I feel great."

Ryder: "How the hell did you drink that much and not be hungover?"

Marcus: "It's a gift."
