As Bottles Call My Name

Chapter 29

I am sooooooo sorry that I haven't been on to update in forever! so here it is, i'll try to come upload more often.

Everything around me was a blur. My head was pounding like a bass drum as I sat up slowly in my room. I blinked numerous times and rubbed my eyes, trying my best to be able to see, but it was no use.

My sense of smell was perfectly fine though, so I of course noticed that my room reeked of weed and alcohol. That wouldn't even be that bad, because it's happened before, but now I had guardians that cared and would notice.

I sighed loudly as my vision became clearer and my head pounded harder. I ran a hand through my hair as memories of the night before entered my mind.

My clothes were on the floor and I was in nothing but a tank top and underwear. I slowly pulled the covers off of me and slid my legs over the side of the bed, and leaned down to see a passed out Charlotte, and Viki, who was sitting up against the wall holding her knees.

"Hey, Meg." She said.

I furrowed my brow. "Hey..."

We could hear footsteps downstairs and I knew it must be late in the day if everyone else was also up.

"What time is it, Vik?" I said, yawning.

"Um, I think it's nearly two in the afternoon." She said. "I haven't slept, so I wouldn't know for sure."

I pulled some jeans on and brushed through my hair, pulled it up, then slipped on a black zip up sweatshirt.

"Why didn't you sleep? ......You wouldn't happen to know anything more about last night... would you? I was really really intoxicated..." I asked kind of unsure. I knew something screwed up must have happened, considering the way my room smelled and the fact that Viki hadn't slept.

"N-no... I mean, yeah, well... What do you know?"

I let out an exasperated sigh. "I know that I came on to Brian. That's all."

She shook her head and her eyes filled with tears. She buried her face into her hands and let out a small sob.

"Megan, we screwed up so much... we really have! I just met you and I'm already causing trouble. This happens everywhere I go! I just don't know what to do anymore I'm such a wreck. I should just go back to Sweden and start my life there again.."

"Viki you're rambling." I said.

She sobbed again and gently lied down onto the floor. "Megan, do you have any idea at all what happened last night?"

I shook my head. "No clue."

She then burst into tears and I felt slightly awkward and shifted my position.

"No fucking idea?! Are you trying to torture me? You just want to tell you more than you already, for a fact, know." She snapped.

"Viki I have no idea what happened last night! Can you just fucking tell me?!"

She began to gather all of her belongings as I watched her, becoming slightly terrified to find out what happened the night before.

As she walked out of the room and slammed the door shut, Charlotte began to wake up. "Good morning," she said groggily, yawning.

"Good fucking afternoon," I accidentally snapped.

"Well what the fuck is up your ass?" She asked back, laughing slightly. I sighed and tugged on my ponytail, sliding down the wall so I could sit up against it.

I didn't mean to, but I let out a rather loud sob.

Charlotte quickly sat up. "Megan what's- ......ow..... My head..."

"Oh, believe me, I know." I said back.

"What just happened? Was Viki crying?" She asked, wincing in pain and rubbing her sore head.

"Yeah she was, and she won't tell me what happened last night."

Charlotte scoffed, "Well she's gonna have to tell us because I have no idea, and I assume you dno't either, because we were both completely wasted and she had hardly anything to drink."

I sighed and leaned out sat on the bed and leaned out the window so I could light a cigarette.

I knew that eventually I'd have to go find Viki and talk things out, because I really couldn't care less what happened the night before until she started freaking out about it; and now I was highly intrigued.

"I really wanna know now." I said, blowing out the smoke.

We sat in silence for a few minutes while I finished, then I threw it out the window and said, "Okay, well we're gonna have to face Brian and Michelle now if we're gonna go get Viki, unless you want to climb out the window..."

Charlotte furrowed her brow. "I think we should just ask Brian. Just Brian."

"Why not Michelle?" I questioned, standing up about to walk out the door.

"Don't leave! Hang on..." Charlotte said, trying really really hard to stand up. "We can't ask Michelle because we know that she's gonna be fuming, right?"

I nodded, seeing what she was getting at.

"Michelle's going to be the victim in everything that happens while we're in California, I can just tell by the way things run around here." Charlotte said.

"I guess you're right." I agreed.

"So let's try to talk to Brian first."
