you're drunk and don't recognize her

The sound of her phone ringing beside her on the bed woke Ella from her peaceful slumber.

She yawned before reaching for it. She saw your name on her screen and for a moment, she began to worry.

You're out with your friends, drinking and unwinding after a busy week.

Ella had no problems with that. You deserve to let your hair down.

You have a ride home and told her you wouldn't call unless it was an emergency, so you could just relax and she could get some sleep after having a busy week herself.

So seeing that it was almost three in the morning, the bed is empty, and your name is on the screen she began to feel a little anxious.

"Hello? Y/N, baby? Everything okay?" She asked as she answered the phone, turning the lamp on as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Ella?"

It wasn't your voice that she heard, but rather one of your best friends that you went out with tonight, along with a few others.

"Hey. Is everything okay? Is y/n okay?" Ella asked worriedly.

"Yeah. We all just think you should come and get
y/n. She's very drunk. She got a little too carried away and we think she should get home as soon as possible."

"Oh. Yeah, okay. Thanks for calling. I'm on my way." Ella said before ending the call.

A breath of relief fell from her lips as she got out of bed. She reached for her shoes as well as her keys and her wallet before she slipped her phone into her hoodie pocket that she pulled over her head to keep herself warm from the chilly night air.

She didn't bother changing out of her pajamas. She was exhausted and her only priority was getting you and then coming home, where you'd sleep until your hangover hits.

She didn't care what people thought of seeing her in her pajama bottoms. She was much too tired to even try.

She walked out the door and got into her car before starting the engine and driving off.

About ten minutes later, she pulled up to the club you and your friends were at.

She was surprised to find your friends were attempting to bring you out at that very moment. You were stumbling and stepping on your own bare feet.

One of your friends had your heels in their hands, afraid you'd step on your toes or break your neck with how unsteady you were.

Ella got out of the car and walked up to the sidewalk where you and your friends were.

"Thank you again for calling."

"Oh, you're welcome." One of your friends said. "She just needs to get home."

Ella nodded understandingly and then turned her attention.

"Hey, pretty girl. I hear you've gotten quite drunk." She teased as she reached her hand out to gently brush your cheek, only for you to push it away.

"No!"

"Y/N," she frowned. "I was just teasing you, baby."

"Don't call me baby. I have a girlfriend!"

She and your friends stared at you in confusion.

"I know you do, silly." She laughed. "I'm your girlfriend."

"No, you're not! My girlfriend's name is Ella! She's the best thing to ever happen to me and I'm in love with her. She's not supposed to be here tonight so don't try to trick me." You mumbled as you put your head on one of your friends' shoulders.

Ella lowered her head with a giggle before looking back up at you.

"Okay, cutie. You're obviously very drunk, so let's get you home." She said as she caressed your cheek.

"Ella?" You mumbled in realization as her comforting touch relaxed you.

"Hi, sweet girl."

"I missed you!" You said before walking to her and throwing your arms around her.

"I missed you too." She giggled. "Ready to go home?"

"Yeah."

One of your friends opened the passenger side door and Ella helped you in.

She buckled you up before taking your things from your friends.

"Feel okay?"

"I'm a little nauseous." You said and Ella's eyes went wide.

"Think you might throw up?"

She expected you to, honestly. You're so drunk that she'd be more shocked if you didn't vomit eventually.

But you just shrugged your shoulders and took her hand as she tried to stand up.

"Ella, please don't be disappointed..."

"Over what, cutie?" She giggled.

"Before you got here, a girl tried to get me to go home with her."

It sank in a couple of seconds after the words fell from lips that you were talking about her.

But still, she played along.

"What?" She gasped.

"I know! I told her I wasn't going with her though. I told her I'm taken and that I have you and I'm in love with you. I wasn't going anywhere with her. You know I'd never do that, right?"

"Oh, trust me, princess. I know." She teased and booped your nose.

After everything tonight, she realized that you're as committed to her and to your relationship as you could possibly be.

It just made her realize, even more, how she only wants to be with you for as long as she lives.

That you're in this for life, like her.

"I'm not mad."

"I love you." You said sleepily, heavy eyes closing.

"I love you too." She smiled and let go of your hand to close the door and wave goodbye to your friends before getting into the driver's seat and starting the car to drive home.

She looked forward to the morning ahead, so excited to tease you over this.
