Atrocious

- Chapter 11 -

Anna's POV

At that moment, I didn't really care who had called the cab, how I got in and who I went home with.
Of course, I didn't remember how the evening had gone on or who I had spoken to.
'How much had I drunk? Had I eaten anything else or had I really just poured the alcohol down my throat? Why at all?
A little sparkle appeared in my head and I remembered.
Midnight and Mt. Lady were two tables away and wanted to challenge me. They kept talking at me and I saw Shota's and Hizashi's worried looks. The latter wanted to break off and take me back to the U.A. but Midnight had said something directly to his face and then to mine.
For the life of me I couldn't remember it, but it had upset me. Almost hurt. I remembered that and I also knew that I wouldn't let it get to me.
And now?
I must have still been fucking drunk, because my craving for greasy food and a cigarette was terrible.
I was breathing heavily and all my body wanted to do was sleep. My lungs were weak and I had massive problems communicating where I wanted to go.
But my passenger did what he was supposed to do as a good and supposedly sober passenger and gave me the right address.
"Please roll down the window! I don't want them to ruin my car. If it starts, get your head out!" said the driver and I felt as if he had been watching us to see if we had realized his words. The person next to me opened a window using the attached crank and the freezing cold morning air literally slapped me in the face. If I was going to keep it all in, then the open window was at least the best way to sober up.
But I rejoiced too soon, because as clear as my head became, the more tired I became.
'Who was the person next to me? What if I don't wake up before the U.A.? What if I don't make it to the apartment where I'm safe at this time of night?
I kept myself awake with all my strength and tried to control my nausea and tiredness.
"Stay...here...please take me home."
A hand gently patted my back and I was overcome.
I fell asleep.
