Scorpio's P.O.V. (Part II)

Suddenly, no impact.

I blinked my eyes open and from my squinting, I could see Aquarius's hand on the mirror as he caught himself and apparently catching me too with his hand on my waist. I turned my head to face his and I was met up with a close-up version of his face. But his eyes, they were mesmerizing. He looked almost confused before he muttered "sorry..." and stepped away.

My vision was apparently still blurred up, but it seemed as if I had absolutely no control of my body whatsoever to what happened next.

Because I seem to be getting closer to him. Mentally, I was frowning but nu-uh that didn't stop my body from leaning closer and closer until I was face to face.

And I jumped up, eyes wide.

Silence and darkness. Besides the warm light and cracking from the fireplace.

I sit up and studied my entourage while my eyes adjust to the place. I was laying on a velvet couch in a cozy looking room. A dream, huh? Just how much of this whole party shit was a dream?

I scrunched my nose when the headache hit me. And That was my answer: not much apparently.

The hangover was surprisingly more painful than ever before.

"What happened?" I asked out loud. My head quickly jerked to the side to another mini couch, causing me to flinch, when I heard a voice.

"Well let's just say...You hit your head ... hard... when... I fell on you?" It was Aquarius. 

Of course.

So that's what really happened. Well, it explains the excruciating pain coming especially from the back of my head.  And that on top of the hangover? Really?

Gosh. What. An. Idiot...

Can't believe I dreamt that twisted part...What the hell me?!

"Um...yeah ...sorry about that.. I guess" He continued rubbing the back of his neck obviously avoiding looking at me. U guess? The silence was loud but he decided to break the ice, I guess you could call it. "Painkillers?" He raised a packet, standing up when I nodded. He handed me a pill and I'm guessing turned to get the water bottle from off the table, but I gulp it down first.

"I take my pills dry, thanks "I said when he turned back with the water.

He looked at me weird raising his eyebrows a little, before shrugging. 

"What time is it?" "Probably 2?" He checked his watch before confirming it was in fact 2 in the afternoon. Can't believe I slept that much, or was I passed out from the hit? 

I suddenly remembered our situation and how we have like 10 other strangers in that house with us. Wow, and none of them cared enough to notice our disappearance or something!...How thoughtful! But I can't blame them; I probably wouldn't care less either, that is if I even noticed some of us were missing. 

As if he could read my mind or something Aquarius mentioned, "Everyone else is still asleep or well maybe just dealing with their hangovers somewhere..."

"Well, looks like I'm not the only one..." before anyone of us could add up to this awkward conversation, the door creaked open slowly, with a horrifying view.

Aquarius peeped in, "Good morning." He grimaced, flinching a little when he turned to look.

Pinky doesn't look like she's having a good morning.

Cancer's P.O.V.

"...or, well... afternoon" 

I groaned back, that was all I could mutter unless they were asking for a scream which I was barely able to hold back.

 I felt like banging my head up against a wall or door or well anything at this point. And before I know it, there I was, before me, a pitch-black wall, and my forehead bounced of it continuously. 

"Stupid party, stupid alcohol" I clenched my jaw hoping to ease the pain in any way.

"Hey..." A hoarse but female voice started definitely not the person who greeted me in. At least this one sounded like she could relate. "Painkillers?"

"plea-" I said turning towards the voice when I was cut off by something falling on my-blanket-wrapped-self, before dropping to the ground. 

"Oops. Um... sorry" Th male voice peeped back in.

"ugh" I supposedly rolled my eyes as I picked up the thrown packet and took a pill. Usually, I wouldn't be okay with the fact that he threw that at me like what? can't you just hand it over with your fucking hand? But whatever, I didn't have any energy to argue right now over some stupid shit. I looked back at them for water, and it seems they were having a silent conversation through the girl's glares and the guy's sheepish smile, or maybe this pain was starting to affect my hearing as well, who knows. 

"Oh right, here-" He stopped catching himself right before throwing the water bottle and let out a breathy chuckle looking at the girl who had her eyebrow raised at him and her arms crossed. I stood there almost gagging, but I couldn't tell if it was from this couple right here or the excessive drinks last night. Did they have to act all lovey-dovey in front of me? I know I'm single, okay? No need to rub it in my face. The guy stumbled on his way towards me when I snatched the bottle from him, getting quite impatient and irritated. 

I slumped down on a couch hugging my knees forming a tight ball as I continued my remedy: hitting my head on the armrest this time. This pain is unbelievable! I stopped moving feeling all my energy getting soaked out of me. I felt so numb. I can't do this anymore. I give up. Maybe I'll make it out of this alive.

I fluttered my eyes open, must've fallen asleep. I slightly frowned but at least this time the pain had eased a little. And suddenly, all memories of the other night came rushing back as well as the blood to my face, apparently, because I could feel it burning up. 

Breakdancing? seriously?? Gosh that was so embarrassing! I can't even imagine how idiotic I must've looked! Nooo!

I crossed my fingers, hoping no one will remember my failed dance battle with the Ram. Gosh what kinda nickname is that? What was his real name again? Oh, right Aries. That little shit-  

My train of thoughts was cut off by the aggressive swing of the door. The light from the hallway blinded me when it hit my eyes.

"10, 11, 12. Ok that's everyone! At least no one's puking their guts out in here."
