20 - You Can't Deny It

Hangover in the morning means a good time in the night before. But that doesn't mean I like it.

My head hurts. It hurts like a witch burning on a stick, being sacrificed because she was a work of the devil.

I groan opening up my eyes and look around. Unfamiliar furniture, strange room, no clothes and a guy passed out beside me.

Just like old time. Oh boy, I've missed this!

I get out of the bed and start looking for my clothes, which I don't find them at all.

The only thing I find is my black short shorts and my old combat boots along with my leather jacket.

Not bothering not having panties on, I dress up my shorts, some t-shirt I find on the floor and put on my boots.

Finding a full pack of cigarettes along with a yellow lighter, I light up one and shove the pack in my shorts back pocket.

I check my appearance on the mirror I take a red lipstick I always keep on my jacket pocket and write on the mirror.

'Thanks for the bed and the cigarettes effy xx'

And get out of the house.

The sun burns my eyes and makes my headache hurts like someone with high-pitched voice is screaming inside my head.

I have no idea where I am, but I keep walking.

After God knows what, I found the house. I was feeling desperate under this Hollywood July Sun.

I find the keys Saul had gave me, somewhere deep in my jackets pocket and open the door.

The house is quiet and no-one is around. I walk to the kitchen finding an half full Jack Daniel's bottle and grab it to take some spins as I look at the clock on the wall.

11 am

Early.

Wow. I'm surprised with myself.

I walk to Saul's room with the bottle in my hand taking some spins in my way up.

Closing the door making more noise than expected, Saul wakes up with a jump.

"Sorry." I say with an apologetic smile.

"Oh my God, Elizabeth!" He jumps off the bed running to me and embraces me in a big tight hug. "I was dead worried about you."

"Wow, calm down Saul." I say getting off his grip. "I'm here."

"Looking like crap."

"Thanks for telling me something I already knew." I roll my eyes. "I'm here, alive. That's what matters right?"

"Beth, you worried me to death when I arrived home at two in the morning and you were no where to be seen, I asked everyone had seen you and then Daisy said you went to buy cigarettes 3 hours ago." He says with a serious tone and I look blankly at him.

"I went to buy cigarettes and end up in this bar called rainbow..." I shrug it off. "Hold on and you? Yesterday you disappeared by morning and I haven't seen you since then. Where were you?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"I went to help a friend." He simply says.

"Oh ok." I nod and take a spin from the bottle I'm holding.

"But you're here, and I'm so happy to see you." He says hugging me once more.

"Can we cuddle?" I ask without blinking.

"You want to cuddle?" He asks confused.

"Yeah I'm feeling like it..." I shrug.
"Yeah, of course babe." He says with a smile making me smile back.
