‼️TW: TALK OF ASSAULT AND TRAUMA‼️

Your night was absolutely crazy. You took so many shots that everything goes by in flashes. You remember dancing with JJ and Penelope while Emily and Cecilia drank even more. You talked with bartenders and guys that Penelope was trying to pull, and you felt so happy as you danced your heart out. Emily and Cecilia stayed together the whole night and you could've sworn you saw them making out at one point, but you convinced yourself your drunk mind was playing tricks on you.

It's almost 12:30 when you decide you're tired. You're not as drunk as you were, but you are in no condition to drive. You sit at the bar with JJ and Penelope. JJ is calling Will and Penelope is apparently getting a ride from her.

"Y/n!" Says Cecilia behind you. You look and see her interlocking arms with drunken Emily.

"Me and Emily are getting a ride together so you don't have to take me home." She says. Emily is looking at her with a very mischievous smile.

"Cecilia, are you sure? Should you call Trista-"

"No." She says. You're surprised by her tone, she almost sounds annoyed. Did something happen with them?

"Oh- ok. Be safe, I love you." You say. She smiles.

"Love you too!" She yells as Emily runs her to the door. You turn back to the bar.

"Will is almost here. Do you have a ride y/n?" She asks.

"Oh yeah, I should probably call Spencer." You say. You pull out your phone and squint your eyes- the screen is so bright. You try and focus to find Spencer's contact. You hold it up to your ear and let it ring. Once it stops ringing you hear a loud exhale and Spencer starts speaking in a very groggy voice.

"Hello?" He says.

"Hey lover boy." You say. "Did I wake you up?"

"HI SPENCER!" Yells Penelope. You shush her and start laughing. JJ and Penelope do to and you almost forget Spencer is on the phone.

"Yeah you did, but it's ok. I take you had fun." He says.

"So much. I need you pick me up though, I had a little too much fun."

"Ok. I'll be there soon." He says.

"Ok thanks, love you."

"Love you too."

You hang up and put your phone back in your handbag. You look at JJ who is sipping her club soda and Penelope who's talking to Gordon.

"Spencer is on the way." You say.

"Great." Says JJ. "Thanks for coming tonight, I think we all had a lot of fun."

"Yeah definitely." You say. "I'm not looking forward for the migraine I'm getting tomorrow though."

"Tell me about it. This will be my second one in two days."

You two laugh. JJ looks at her phone after it vibrates and taps Penelope on the shoulder. Once she whispers to her she turns to you.

"Will is here, are you ok to be here by yourself?" She asks.

"Yeah I'll be fine. See you guys soon, call me and let's do this again!" You yell.

"Love you sugar! Drink greasy foods and eat water!" Yells Penelope as they walk out the door. You laugh at her misuse of words. You turn to the bar and look around. There's a few people here, but it's mostly empty. Probably because it's a weeknight. You realize you're hot so you decide to step outside.
