"Wow! You have a handsome man!" Emma slurred while stumbling over to me.
"Maybe we should sober you up" I say while reaching for my Steele.
Her eyes widen "No!"
"Emma, you're shit faced" I say as I grab her to stabilize her.
"I am not, this" she said stumbling while motioning to herself. "Is just fine"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Emma's statement. She was clearly far from "just fine".
As she stumbled again, I reached out to steady her. "Come on, let's get you some water," I said, leading her over to a nearby table.
Emma pouted, but I could tell that she knew I was right. "Fine, but I don't need any help," she grumbled as she reluctantly followed me.
I poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. "Drink this. It'll help with the hangover tomorrow."
Emma took a sip and made a face. "Ugh, this tastes terrible," she complained.
I couldn't help but laugh. "It's just water, Emma. It's not supposed to taste like a cocktail."
She pouted again, but eventually, she finished the glass of water. As she did, she started to sober up a little, and her emotional outbursts subsided.
"Thanks, Alice," she said, her voice a little more even now. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
I smiled at her, feeling grateful for her friendship. "Anytime, Emma. That's what friends are for."
As we made our way back to the party, Emma seemed to have regained some of her composure. She was still a little tipsy, but at least she wasn't a blubbering mess anymore.
And as the night went on, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the brief moment of lightheartedness that Emma had brought to the party.
Despite the constant danger and darkness that surrounded us as Shadowhunters, moments like these reminded me of the importance of laughter and friendship.
"So, lightwood, we're hosting a get together at my place. Thursday night next week." Costa says from the side now bringing a round of drinks. He hands one to Alec and one to me.
"You both should come over." he finishes. I smile and take a sip of the drink. I look over at Emma who's slowly sobering up.
Alec hesitates before answering. "I'll be there."
"Great!" Costa says content. He narrows his eyes at me "Your answer Ms. Herondale?"
"Well, I might have to bring Will but since you invited Alec and I. We have 2 plus ones" I announce cheekily. He grins at my explanation. "Alright, I'll expect 4 then."
"Expect 4." I confirm. I turn around feeling a new presence. I look at Emma who's now officially more sober than drunk.
"You alright there?" I ask her.
She nods her head. "Yeah, you need to keep whisky away from me"
"More like tequila" I hear alec blurt out. I nod my head in agreement. "And vodka"
Emma chuckles and shakes her head. "Okay, okay, I get it. No more hard liquor for me," she says with a hint of embarrassment.
"We're going to talk about it" I note. She nods her head clearly not wanting to hear it.
