Oh my god, my head.
I wake up with my head pounding and my body in a fetal position. I look around an unfamiliar room. Oh my god! Whose room is this? The room is big with a king-sized bed and white walls matching the sheets.
What the fuck happened last night? I'm still wearing my clothes from the other night. I hear the door open and in pops Zane.
What the hell?
"I thought you could use these," He says with a banana, a glass of water, and some Advil. He sets it all down on the nightstand next to me. I take the pills with the water and eat the banana. Zane sits on the edge of the bed watching me eat.
"I knew you would have a pretty bad hangover," He chuckles. I'm in pain and this bitch is laughing?
I side-eye him prompting him to stop. "What happened?" I ask.
"You got arrested," he tells me with a blank face.
My eyes go wide and I start choking on my banana. "What!? We got arrested!?"
"Oh no, I didn't get arrested, YOU got arrested. But I paid them off so it didn't go on your record," He smiles emphasizing the word 'you'.
I hate his stupid perfect smile.
"How did I get arrested?" I asked taking another bite of my banana. "I got stuck in a slide and you thought you killed me," he laughs. I sorta giggle too at how stupid that sounds. "I'm sorry you had to deal with my drunk ass. I'm a really bad drunk," I laugh.
"I saw that from last night," He laughs.
I look around the room again "Is this your house?" I ask. "Yeah I brought you here, I didn't think your boyfriend would appreciate another man holding his drunk sleeping girlfriend," he chuckles.
Will.
I look to the ground. "Are you ok?" Zane asks lifting up my chin with his pointer and middle finger. I look into his eyes and see a certain softness directed at me making me smile. But what he does next shocks both of us.
He pulls me into a tight hug. "I'm terrible at emotions but I'm so glad you came into my life and if you need to talk to me I'm here," He says. I tear up. My body shakes with sobs. No one has ever said something so nice to me.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do anything wrong-" I cut him off. I hug him tighter "Thank you for saving me," I whisper as I sob into his shoulder. His body lightens with my words as he rubs my back soothingly.
My sobs start to die down when he asks "Want to watch a movie?"
---------------------
We walk out of the guest bedroom to the living room. I feel something brush up against my leg and look down to see a huge ragdoll calico cat. I instantly smile as I look down at him.
"Who is this?" I ask in a baby voice bending down to pet the cat. "Oh shit sorry that's Uno," he apologizes. I look up at him in confusion. "Why Uno?" I ask. "Because he only has one eye," he says. I whip my head to look at Uno to see he does only have one eye.
"How did he lose it?" I ask. "I don't know; found him abandoned in a garbage can last year, just found him like that," He says.
That's so sad why would someone do that?
"Awwww poor Uno, you can come with us to watch a movie," I pick him up, and dear god he is big. He weighs like 25 pounds.
"Oh, yous a big boys aren't you?" I ask him in a baby voice.
I hear Zane chuckling next to me. We go down like ten halls to make it to the living room.
His house is more like a mansion. It's freaking huge.
I sit on the sofa next to Zane as Uno enjoys pets while laying on my lap. I look over at Zane to see him glaring at Uno whos looking back at him with the smuggest smile a cat can have.
Oop, we gonna have some drama out here.

"Oh my god she's such a dumb bitch," I say throwing a peace of popcorn into my mouth. Zane nods along chewing on a piece of popcorn. "Why the hell would she go to the attic when she knows there's a killer in the house?" He asks. "Because people in horror movies are stupid," I say throwing a popcorn kernel at the tv.
I check my phone and see a shit ton of missed calls from Will. "Shit," I whisper. "Do you need to go home?" He asks. "Yeah, I'm sorry Will wants me home," I say. His face morphs into disgust. "What was that look for?" I ask.
"Nothing," he says shaking his head.
"It's just that he seems kinda controlling," he says. Anger runs through me. "He's not controlling, he cares!" I yell then walk out his front door.
He just cares about me...
A lot.
He can just be possessive sometimes.
He just wants to make sure I'm ok.
Tears run down my face as I know all the lies I'm telling myself.
