"Shit," I giggle, fully drunk now. "My parents are going to kill me."

"Shh!" Josie says as she tries to sneak me into my house.

"You shh!" I giggle.

"I'm so dead, Kat you weren't supposed to get drunk," Josie says.

"I'm not!"

"Shh!"

She slowly opens the door to my house, the clock on the wall reads two in the morning. Never mind the fact that I have to be up and ready for school in just a few hours. I stumble inside and laugh when I nearly trip over the rug.

The light turns on.

"Damn," Josie says under her breath.

"Where have you been!?" My mom demands.

"I was with Josie," I slur.

"Hehe," Josie laughs nervously.

"Are you drunk?" My dad says.

"No!"

I stumble forward and Josie has to catch me.

"She's just tired," Josie says.

"We went swimming!" I laugh.

"Kat, knock it off," Josie growls under her breath and pinches me on the side.

"Ow!" I pout.

"I've been calling you all day. Why even have a phone if you won't answer it when I call!?" Mom says.

"Stop yelling," I pout.

"You are grounded," Dad says.

"No, you're grounded," I mock them.

Josie facepalms.

"What has gotten into you lately, why are you acting out all of a sudden?" mom says.

"My stomach hurts," I complain.

"Oh no," Josie quickly ushers me to the bathroom just in time for me to puke up my guts into the toilet.

She sighs in relief.

She's seen me drunk enough to know that when I say that, I'm about to barf.

"We are so dead," Josie sighs in defeat.

"Your fault," I pout and lean against the toilet.

My parents come in with arms crossed and looks of disappointment on their faces.

"Josephine, I think it's time you go home," Dad says.

"Yes sir," she sighs before patting my back and leaving me.

I look at my parents in worry before I lean into the toilet and barf again.

My mom just shakes her head and walks away saying, "Deal with your daughter please."

Dad sighs.

My parents still make me go to school in the morning, as part of my punishment. I have a killer hangover. I have to wear sunglasses inside to help dull the pain.

"Ugh," I sit at the table.

"How did it go?" Josie asks.

"Don't ask," I grumble and rub my temples.

"What happened to you two?" Sophie asks.

"Don't ask, please don't ask. My head is killing me." I pout.

"Nice shades," Sage comments.

I sigh.

"I told you to stop drinking, you didn't listen to me." Josie says.
