I was awoken the next morning by the stench of vomit emitting out of my bathroom. Groggily I lifted my head off of the pillow just in time to see Sophia doing the walk of shame.

Her black dress was wrinkled and clinging loosely off her shoulder. Her golden blond hair was thrown up in a messy bun with a few stray hair falling out. Then her skin looked clammy, a stark contrast to her radiant and healthy skin color.

"I hate fucking drinking." she grumbled when she saw I was awake.

"Welcome to the club." I mumbled groggily. "Close that fucking door it reeks of death." I grimaced when I caught a whiff of Sophia's vomit.

"Keep it down, I feel like the seven dwarfs are inside my head. They're like hammering in there and I want to tell them there's no diamonds in this mine." she whined throwing herself on my bed. "What happened last night?"

I sat up in my bed and let out a heavy sigh. Where do I begin? It was a long and eventful night. It had its ups and downs and there was definitely regrets.

So I told her everything. I told her about Marie finding her drunk and how I took care of her. I told her about Tyson losing his cool on Sawyer.

I didn't want to get into that. I didn't know where to begin with him because everything Ty related seemed to complicated.

Then I told her about Sawyer and her dragging me into their schemes. I told her about Sawyer spilling the beans on operation switch-a-twin. She didn't forget about it like I thought she would.

I cut the parts that included Blake. But that was more for my sake than hers. I didn't want to relive the hurt I caused Blake. I was hoping that was all a dream and it didn't actually happen.

But it did.

"Never let me drink again." Sophia begged weakly lifting her head up.

"People always say that. But that only means--I'll never drink again until I forget this hangover." I raised my eyebrow.

"Shut up-" she grumbled when the doorbell downstairs sounded off.

We both sat up more alert. But we were lazy as hell and there were four more people in the house. I was sure one of them would answer it.

And sure enough five seconds later, Saywer's voice yelled for me. "Vivi? A bunch of people are at the door!"

Remembering I called in a favor, I bolted for downstairs. Sophia followed after me--but at slug pace.

"You guys came!" I cried out happily going in to tackle them. We all fell down in a piled of limbs because I was so excited to see them.

"Vi, get off you're so fucking heavy!" Dom groaned from under me.

"I'll ignore that jab at my weight." I smiled climbing off them and helping them up. "Thanks again for coming."

"I'd rather be with you for the holiday than my parents. They kept talking about sending me off to Cambridge instead of Juliard. They had the nerve to demand I drop dancing for law school. I'm bad at arguing!" Lewiza explained growing frustrated with her parents all over again.

Antoine scoffed and wrapped an arm around her. "Yeah well at least your boyfriend didn't cheat on you."

"Are you serious?!" Lewiza gasped. "Okay after we're done here, I say we show that little twat what we do with cheaters."

"What do we do with cheaters?" Chloe asked innocently.

"We obviously kill them." I scoffed crossing my arms over my chest.
