chapter 8

Jorge's pov

*My vision is blurry. My feel so light yet my head feels heavier than I remember. I'm glad that Lara drove me home safely, I wouldn't be able to get home by myself. I'm wasted. As soon as I  opened the bedroom door I felt someone knocking my over with their weight. I had to lean on the door frame quicky to stop myself from falling.*

T: Where have you been? I was so worried!

*Tini scolded me inbetween her sobs. Why is she sobbing?*

J: I was outside

T: You smell... you drank alcohol?

J: Hmm...

T: You drank with someone?

*Should I tell her? I am wasted but not enough to tell her that I was alone with Lara.*

J: I was with a colleague from work. To get some friends

T: Why didn't you call me? Do you have an idea how worried I was?

J: I'm sorry Tini, I was asked out of a sudden and then we filmed all day. I was so drained after that and forgot to-

T: You kno what, that's not important now. You came back safely so it's okay. Let's go get some rest. You should take a shower first.

*She dragged me to the bethroom and locked me there. The sudden movement made my head spin but I managed to not break anything. After a refreshing shower that sobered me up a bit, I lied down next to Tini. I pulled her closer and kissed her cheek.*

J: I love you

T: Sure, now go to sleep

*She wanted to turn away from me but I didn't let her move. I cherish moments like this.

J: So so much

T: Hey, go to sleep already. Or I'll leave this room

...

*My head feels like it's gonna explode... I sat up, holding my head in my hands. Haven't had a hangover this strong in a long time.*

T: That's what you deserve for drinking too much

J: I-

T: Drink this

*She gave me some pills and I swallowed them with no hesitation. As long as it stops the throbbing in my head, it's fine.*

J: What time is it?

T: It should be past 9 now. You're really going to work looking like this?

*I ran to the bathroom, trying to do something about my devastating look.*

J: I can't stay home today, I literally started working yesterday

T: Jorge I don't think it's-

*I passed Tini in a rush, putting on new clothes then running down to the kitchen.*

T: Are you really feeling better?

*Tini ran after me this whole time. I understand that she is concerned but I should know my own limits, right?*

J: Yes, I'm good now

*I gave her a peck on her forehead and left to work. When I arrived, I heard people laughing so I followed the sound. My colleagues were standing in a circle, having fun. Good, the mood is lively so there is no trouble. When I got closer, they noticed me and started laughing louder. Lara was standing in the middle*

La: You slept well after yesterday?

J: Not really but it's okay now. What are you laughing at?

La: Not much, I just told them about yesterday. You were so drunk that you told me everything

J: Everything?

La: You told me that the only frinds you have are elders

*They laughed again. I don't know if it's because of my bad morning but I can feel myself getting irritated.*

La: And you don't even bother to find normal friends

*She said while bursting out laughing. I could feel my blood boiling. She played me like this and I was such a douche that I put up with it.*

J: Lara why are you saying this?

La: Come on, it's just a few funny stories

J: I don't agree with it though. Stop it

La: Okay partypopper. You're seriously a special one.

 *She turned away to leave, mumbling something under her breath. A guy who was having the time of his life listening to whatever Lara said passed by me and pat my back.*

A guy: Keep it up

 I was furious. I grabbed one guy by the collar of this shirt and pushed him on the wall. He was the one laughing the most. The others ran away in fear*

J: Do you want to laugh?

*I punched him in the face and he groaned. I couldn't help myself and continued until the security guys pulled me away*
