My eyes flutter open, blinking a couple times to adjust to the light. When they do I look up to see the window. The curtains are open, giving me a view of the crisp foggy morning. I close my eyes and snuggle into the bed. The blankets protecting me from the cold. I sigh with pleasure....

Wait, thats not my window.

I open my eyes again, this time with confusion. I look down to see im not in my bed but someone else's. What the hell?

I push myself up into a sitting position. Pain shoots into my wrists as I put pressure on them. When I sit all the way up I bring my wrists in my view. Small ice packs are wraped around them. I don't understand. Why are these on me? I quickly lift my head and view the room.

The morning light shines into the room giving it a warm comforting feel. I let my eyes wander. Finally it hits me. Is this Caleb's room? The furniture and football posters start to look more familiar now that I think about it. And it makes sense, I was with him all night. But how did I get here? And where is he?

I try to think back to last night, however most of it is fuzzy and I can't remember. I sigh in frustration and lean back on the headboard.

I look back to my wrists. What happened last night? I put them down on my lap and look around once again. I look at the end table next to me to find some sort of clock. But instead I find a piece of paper, I reach over to pick it up. My body screaming in pain. I bring the paper close, seeing someone wrote on it.

Kitten,
I know you're probably confused right now. I had to go do something but didn't want to wake you. On the table I left some water and Advil...

As if on cue my head starts to really hurt. I lift my hand to rub my head as I finish reading the note

I promise I will be right back and answer all of your questions. Until then please just stay in my room, don't exert yourself.

Caleb

I put the note to the side and pull the sheets off my body. I look down and see my legs covered in ice packs. I take each ice pack off then swing my legs off the bed. My body stiff from over use and sleep. My head starts to throb even more now that I'm moving. I reach for the water and Advil, swallowing them with ease. As I sit on the side of the bed I force myself to remember what happened last night.

I know I went to the party with everyone. Then I was left with Caleb. I definitely know I had alcohol considering I don't remember things. Caleb acted weird as well. Something to do with drinking. Then we danced.

I start to blush thinking about it. We were so close. His soft touches and kisses played in my mind. I smile at the memory.

That's the last thing I can think of before it all gets fuzzy. I think I remember seeing a tub. Maybe spiderman. I don't know. I shake my head and lightly push myself off the bed. My legs wobble as I attempt to walk to the bathroom.
