August 9, 2013

The next morning, I felt like I had been hit by a bus full of football players followed by a semi-truck hauling something incredibly heavy, and then sat on by a few elephants. There was a buzzing coming from underneath me somewhere and a solitary beam of light leaking from between the curtains that landed solidly on my left eye. I lay there for another minute as the buzzing stopped, but my head was still pounding.

Where am I?

I turned my head to get the light off my face and looked around the room and it took me entirely too long to realize what was happening.

I'm in LA. 

I'm at Randy's. 

I'm in the guest room. 

How did I get back?

The buzzing started again and I groaned as I sat up a bit trying to find what I assumed was my phone. I found it under the covers. Grabbing it with my eyes closed, I swiped at it to answer as I lay back in the bed again with my arm over my eyes. "Hello?" my voice croaked out

"Jana!?" Nonny was on the other end of the call, "Are you sick? Why haven't you called me yet?"

"No." I coughed to clear my throat which made my head pound. "No, Nonny. I'm hungover. I just woke up."

"I told you to be smart. You know I don't like when you drink."

"I know, Nonny. I was with Randy and Gentry all night and it was a private party so they knew everyone that was there. I was safe." I tried to open my eyes but the room started spinning so I closed them again.

"Hannah showed me a movie of you on a stage last night. You look like you're having fun but I don't love the dress you are wearing. You should wear sleeves and cover your thighs more." Nonny was so concerned with outward appearance and she always let me know when I was putting on a few pounds. My mom used to be the same way which made my life difficult. 

"Nonny, I really don't feel like talking about clothes right now. Can I call you later?" I was starting to feel really sick. "Is everything ok?" I sat up slowly and turned so my feet hung off the bed.

Everything was really spinning now.

"Everything is fine. I just wanted to tell you I got the movie and remind you that you don't have a body to show that much skin."

"Ok, Nonny. I'll text you later. I love you." I waited for her to say goodbye and then I hung up. I was able to pry one eyelid halfway open as I surveyed my own body, and I realized my shoes were still on and I was still in the dress I wore out the night before. The only difference was that my hair was down.

Oh god... I need the bathroom, now!

I managed a shower and put on a pair of sweatpants and an old sleep shirt before grabbing a pair of sunglasses and crawling back in bed with my hair still in a towel.

Are you all awake? I can't get out of bed.

I'm still in bed, Randy is fine so he's downstairs with Carson.

I had barely read the text when Gentry came in groaning and crawled in bed with me. We looked at each other and just laughed while whining about it hurting.

"Why did Nonny say she saw a movie of me on stage?"

"Randy sent her the video he took of you singing, but apparently some videos got leaked on Twitter of Harry singing too. You weren't in it, just your voice." She rolled over on her stomach and turned her head to face me, "They leaked all of the guys' songs and clips of all of them dancing with us after your first song. Randy is frustrated because it was part of the invite that nothing was to be made public."
