When I told you that heels are the most horrid of all the horrid things on earth, then I take it back. Seriously.

I buried my face with my pillows and blankets in a hopeless attempt of easing my splitting headache.

Whatever caused this freaking illness(or is it a disease? Or something else? Blah my head aches too much to even let me think) deserved to be chopped off in a guillotine.

Giving up, I sat up from my bed and held my head between my hands. My head feels so heavy that I feel like I'm carrying a freaking aquarium on top of my head.

I hissed as I felt a throbbing pain on my back. What the crap? Is headache not yet enough?!

My headache is getting worse as I expected it to be. It even got to a point when I almost banged my head on the wall to at least lessen the pain. I can't even walk without support, for Pringle's sake!(my fave. So don't even bother asking why)

"Come on, cease, will ya?" I nearly yelled as I tried to keep my body on equilibrium while trudging my way downstairs. Tylenol, Tylenol, please, I desperately need you Ty-

"Wow, finally losing our sanity, are we?" My thoughts got interrupted by Ellie, our 24 year-old maid and like my sister, smirked smugly at me as she watched me dying in a slow but steady process of utter pain.

Her slightly loud voice did not help me either. I squinted my eyes and gripped the handrails tighter to keep myself from fainting and falling from the stairs.

Ellie's eyes softened with concern as she draped her arm around my shoulder and guided me to the kitchen island.

I instantly pulled a chair and sat on it while still nursing my head.

"Just wait over here and I'll get some Tylenol, okay?"

As if I had a choice, I muttered to myself. Why oh why am I being snappy?

She rushed to the cabinets and came back with the said medicine and a glass of water.

"I know your head is probably splitting into two right now because of your headache but please don't do anything stupid." She ranted as she placed the water in the table in front of me while handing me the medicine.

"And like what is that?" I grumpily asked. Gosh, this headache is gonna be the death of me.

Does that even exist? I mean, are there some cases of people dying of simple headache and muscle ache?

None? Guess I'll be the first one then.

"Like overdosing, silly." She chuckled.

Oh yeah? I thought to myself. Might as well try...

"I know that look. That devilish smile slowly creeping up your lips. Don't even think about it." She warned, even putting her hands on her hips for added effects.

I didn't even realize I'm smiling like a devil-spawn before she mentioned it. Argh, at least I smiled! Try switching bodies with me. Let's see if you can even move a single muscle!

I just popped the Tylenol inside my mouth then chugged down the water. Let's see the wonders of this medicine...

Wait. Wonders?

Memories of last night resurfaced in my mind.

"Wonders of Jack Daniel's."

"Hey Ellie." I called out to her, suddenly having this urge to share this with someone.

"What is it, dearie?" She stopped doing who-knows-what in the kitchen and immediately came to check on me.

"I just kind of had a strange dream last night." She seemed interested because she pulled a chair beside me and sat.
