I wake up to a blaring sound, "fuckkk!" I shouted, not wanting to open my eyes. After about a minute or two of hearing that annoying ass blaring I open my eyes and get up slowly, my head hurts so bad, it takes me a minute to adjust my eyes and focus on where I was, rather than my pounding head. I look around noticing I'm in my room and try to find where that obsessive blaring is coming from, I look to my vanity and see my phone. I get up slowly holding on to my head trying to stop the pounding, it gets worse every time I move. I make my way to my vanity and press 'STOP', I pick it up adjusting the brightness settings, and the light instantly makes my head worse, and check the time; 7:00 am, I put my phone back down and notice a white piece of paper next to a bottle of water and a red solo shot glass with two pills in it.

I picked up the paper and read it carefully; 'Thought you could use this, now get ready for school before you're late, dad is already gonna kill you for taking his truck.

Vito'

I sighed, setting down the note and picking up the cup shooting the pills in my mouth, and followed it with a gulp of water.

I make my way to my closet and pick up the outfit I already had planned for today. I knew I would have to go to school after this and I knew I would be hella hungover so I decided to make things easier for myself.

I put on my baggy ripped-up black jeans with a black belt with silver holes all around it, then i threw on my corpse bride shirt and tied it up with the hair tie on my wrist, I added a long beaded cross necklace and a brown-ish flannel with my high top converses, I already had some messy makeup on from yesterday so I just brushed my straight blonde hair out and grabbed my backpack and started heading out the door.

I missed my first period; History, which means algebra is about to start, great. My head's still pounding, the Advil helped a little but my head is still pounding like crazy and I'm not ready to do math. The only thing good about algebra is Amaras in my class so I'll get to check up on her.

I make my way to my math class and take my seat next to mara, she has her hood on and yesterdays make up all down her face, she looks like she's about to fall asleep at any moment, as soon as I sit I lay my head down on the desk trying to get the pounding to settle down.

"You too huh?" Amara asked, her voice sounding drained and tired "mhm"

"Where'd you go yesterday? I woke up and your dad's truck was there but you weren't, I was gonna text you but my phone died"

"Oh um to be honest I don't really remember but I think my brother picked me up"

She just nodded her head and we both put our heads down for the rest of the class.

P.E was hell, most of the time I sat out, my head was killing me with all the moving and sun in my face, especially being so early in the morning. At some point, I just grabbed my stuff and left for a smoke break. Now it's time for English. English isn't too bad, Mattia and Amara are in that class with me, then right after we all have lunch together. Sometimes Mattia joins us, sometimes not, even sometimes he brings a friend.

I got there late cause I was finishing my cig, I walked into class smelling like cigarettes and perfume, my signature scent. I took my seat and looked around the room and saw Mattia. He has sunglasses and a hoodie on, his hair looks messy and he reeks of alcohol, I can smell it from here. Amara, who sits 2 seats in front of him looks about the same, just maybe a bit whiter, she looks like she just got done puking, I wouldn't blame her, I'm on the verge of puking.

Class starts and my phone dings ;

CHAT: Mattia Riccò & Amara Martino

Mattia - 'You make it home safe lu?"

Me - 'Yea my brother picked me up. My head is killing me

Amara - ' Same here I just got done puking'

Mattia - ' I got advil?'

Amara - ' already popped four"

Me - ' same, got anything better??"

Mattia - ' Xanax?'

Me - ' You know me so well :)'

Amara - 'lmaoo, I'm down"

Mattia - ' alr after class, and you're right I do know you very well ;)

Amara - ' ew'

Me - ' you fucking wish'

11:34 am

I quickly pack up my stuff, or as quickly as I can without puking, and wait for the bell to ring.

Once the bell rings we all meet up at the stairs.

"I feel like I'm dying," I say as soon as I walk up the stairs greeting them, "I shouldn't have drank so much" Amara adds in, I laugh at her comment " doll we do this every weekend and you say the same thing and then do it again" Mattia joins, I laugh at that, his head quickly turns to me " I don't know why your laughing I'm talking to you too, you say the same 'I feel like I'm dyingg' bullshit every week too" Amara laughs along with Mattia, I roll my eyes " just shut the fuck up and give it to me"

He reaches into his backpack and pulls out a pill bottle, me and Amara both put our arms out, he puts 2 in each of our hands then closes the bottle placing it back in his bag. We all take turns passing around maras bottle of water and down them then head off to get something to eat.

By the end of the day I was fully relaxed, we didn't take too much but I felt great, a little drowsy and dizzy but I managed, I got home at about 2:30, I walked past my dad who was passed out in front of the tv, Vito wasn't home he stayed after school for basketball practice, so I just walked up to my room and zoned out, I wasn't very aware of what was happening and my head kept falling slightly, I also saw some random shadow people dancing around my room, they looked peaceful. Eventually, I fell asleep.
