Good for you

Chapter eight: round two

Mariia wakes up with a huge headache and heads to the kitchen for some advil trying not to wake Sarah up.

How did I even end up in Sarah's bed?

Marii walks to the kitchen and grabs the bottle of Advil and a bottle of water. She gets two out of the Advil bottle and starts to head to her room before she notices Jacob asleep on their couch.

"Jake?! how did you get in here?" Mariia says waking Jake up but not Sarah.

Jacob looks at Marii confused "do you remember anything from last night?" he says sitting up on the couch.

"I remember getting drunk" Marii says taking the two pills and a couple of sips of water.

Jacob stands from the couch and towers over Marii, "you got drunk and couldn't drive home so you called me"

shit.

"Wow, I'm so sorry. did I wake you up? why'd you stay?" Marii asked sounding apologetic

"I had to make sure you guys were okay and that no one threw up in their sleep," Jacob says taking a step toward Marii, "are you okay?" Jacob asked.

Mariia's head was still killing her but she still shook her head yes.

Before anyone could say anything else her phone started ringing from her purse. She rushed to get it before it woke Sarah.

Incoming call: Jeremy

The guy from last night? why is he calling? How did he get my number?

Mariia answers the phone and walks towards her bedroom.

"Hey Mariia, I was calling to make sure you got home safe and you were okay. Chris tried calling Sarah but she didn't answer"

"Hey Jeremy. Yea we're okay, thank you for checking on us" Mariia says quietly hoping jacob can't hear her.

he can.

"I had a lot of fun with you last night. You should let me take you out sometime" Jeremy says to mariia

Mariia can't remember a lot about last night but she does remember meeting jeremy and how they danced. She also thought the fact that he called to check up on them was also sweet.

Wow, that's literally bare minimum.

"yea, Jeremy that'd be nice. I'll text you okay?" Mariia responds and hangs up.

mariia walks back towards the living room where she left Jacob.

"whos Jeremy?" Jacob ask still standing in the same spot.

"Someone I met last night. calling to check on us" mariia says. Why does Jacob even care who jeremy is, he doesn't know everyone in mariia life and she doesn't his.

"what kind of guy leaves two drunk girls at a bar alone" jacob says sitting down on the couch.

"they offered, we declined" mariia says growing angry at jacob being smart

"and called me" jacob says looking away from mariia

"yea and I'm really starting to regret it" mariia says storming back to her room. Jacob follows her.

"Don't say that marii" jacob says walking towards her even though shes no facing him

"why do you care about jeremy? me and you are friends. you said it yourself. I don't do complicated jacob and you're complicated." mariia still hasn't turned to face him

Jacob walks directly behind mariia now, "I don't want to be your friend mariia. but I don't want a relationship knowing we'd eventually hate each other. I'm not good for you"
