The Ball Night

All Over Again

"Ugh, my head." I groaned when I woke up. My head felt heavy and hurt each time I blinked. I tried to place my hand on my head, but I couldn't move it. I fully open my eyes and look down to see Catherine on top of me. Her dress was still on but the laces from the back was loose. I look around, we were at the library." How the heck..." Catherine moves a bit and yawn. She looks up, tiresome on her face." Good morning princess." I mean to say, but it came out as," Morninvg prrinces."

She laughs and lays her head on my rib, below my chest. I combed her smooth hair and told her sweet nothing's. Suddenly I had the erg to puke. I covered my mouth and lightly push Catherine off me. Trust me, I wanted to stay like that until death. I ran and opened the double sets of doors and ran down the hall. God, I could feel it on my throat and slowly rising each time I skipped a set of steps.

I could contain it as I hopped down the last steps and puked on the main hall carpet." Shit." I laid against the rail and clench my stomach." Having a hungover?" I look over to Prince Andrew, wearing his general suite." H-hello prince." I tried to bow but it would upset my stomach and instead just waved.

"I see, I shall call up a doctor to give medicine, but you can handle this for a while, right?" Andrew said, grinning.

"Y-yeah," beads of sweat ran down my forehead." Of course I can, b-besides I need to check on Catherine, excuse me." I head upstairs, slowly climbing up with the support of the rail." Farewell, we may discuss another time when you are not ill." Andrew says before leaving, as always.

Catherine was walking down the hallway and saw me clenching my stomach." Jackie, it worked!" She hugs me, and I swallow down the incoming vomit." Y-yeah. Now we just n-need to free David and Levin and we're out of here." I said, my stomach gave a growl as I went to my bedroom with Cathy.

Catherine P.O.V

I can't believe Jackie got drunk last night! I thought for sure she'll reveal herself but she never let's me down, has she? My hands were practically sweating under my gloves as Andrew and my father tried to expose to any man that comes up to me for a dance. I then went to grab a glass of water but a group of nobles surrounded me and showed off their charm or riches. I simply nodded, only saying yes or no', and then came Jackie. She surprised me but she looked sluggish and wobbled.

When she bowed, she almost fell, and I knew she must of drank. I pulled us away from the group of men and accused her of drinking. She shrugs and offers a dance, which I gladly accepted. The way she looked at me when she twirled me around reminds me the first time we danced together in the garden. She had that same look of admiration, even in her drunken state, she loved me.

I laid Jackie down on my bed and she groans." I'll go get a bucket incase." She smiles and nods as I went to fetch a bucket. I went to the maiden section of the castle, which wasn't far, and asked a servant for a bucket." Of course your highness." He quickly bowed and went passed the rest of the maids and servants there. Everything was happening all at once. Maidens were washing clothes, others getting brooms and rushing out the door.

" Here you are, princess." The servant brings the empty bucket, bows and goes back into the room. I picked up my dress and jogged upstairs to my bedroom. When I opened it, Jackie was silently snoring. I placed the bucket next to her on the floor and I went into my closet to pick out a night gown. It was five in the morning, or maybe four.

I pick out a light, silky purple night gown and went into bed with Jackie. I laid on my side, watching Jackie boring before dozing off as well.

Jackies P.O.V

Something was coming, I could feel it rising. I opened my eyes and leaned to my side to throw up. I wiped the side of my mouth with my suit, and turned to lay on the bed. I looked to my left and saw Catherine sleeping. She was already changed into her nightgown. I signed, at least the headache is gone, but the dizziness will be a bother.
