All In My Head

The Feeling.

We walk in to a nice house, almost too nice, and Ethan crashes down on the sofa and Jonah runs into the kitchen saying he is making a 'sober concoction'. Cool. What do I do now? I take a seat on the couch next to Ethan, but not too close. His head drifts onto my chest and he leans into me.

'My head hurts...' he moans.

'Ugh get a grip dude' Jonah says as he walks in with a glass of some green stuff. He pulls Ethan off me and apologises to me. What a gentleman.

'Why are you apologising Jonah, it's not your fault. And anyway, you are being SO sweet helping Ethan out even though you could be at your party getting drunk like hell.' I giggle.

'Really?' he grins. 'But it kinda is my fault because I know who spiked his drink and I just stood by and let it happen. But anyway, this concoction should work within seconds; it's been in my family for generations.'

Ethan takes large gulps from the glass. I was fascinated by how chiselled his jaw line was when he tilted his head ever so slightly upwards. 'Oh man'. Ethan exclaims with a sigh throwing his head onto my lap and running his fingers through his hair.

'Yup, he's returning to reality with no hangover and not that much of a headache. I should head back to the party, to make sure no one else gets really badly screwed up. You want me to drive you home?'

'My wheels are parked outside your house...Beth! Shit.'. I briefly lift Ethan's head and pull out my phone. FML; this stupid short battery life. My phone was dead. I hand him my car keys.

'If she's not too badly screwed up, could you tell her to drive home with my car and I'll be at her house as soon as I can to pick it up?' I say.

'Sure. You staying here?' He raises his eyebrows.

'Uh-huh. Someone has to make sure this big baby doesn't get in trouble again right?' We both giggle. 'When are his parents coming home?' I ask.

'He lives on his own.'

'of course' I stare at Ethan for a bit.

'I'll see you around yeah?'He heads towards the door.

'Sure'. The door slams behind him and I let out a sigh.

'Amelia?' Ethan says as his eyes gradually open.
