As we walk into the club with our fake ID's, i can feel myself shivering. This isn't me, going into a club, not to mention i probably look like a hooker, but as soon as we got in, girls barely covered in clothing were grinding with random strangers. I feel better.
We sat at the bar, Matt ordered us four shots. "Cheers ladies."
Lily shocked me the most, she gulped the thing down like it was nothing. I on the other hand was struggling a bit.
We all scattered and were doing our own thing. Lily had a bit too much to drink and had begun to dance, i couldnt tell if she was by herself or with others. Matt was flirting it up with girls and i didn't see Tanner anywhere. I felt so depressed, i kept ordering shit after shot until it was tasteless and it was like swallowing water. That's probably not a good sign.
"Easy there badass." someone slurred behind me.
I turned around to see Tanner, his shirt unbuttoned, he was sweaty and his hair stuck to his forhead.
"Go away." I muttered.
"Oh come on, dont be like that."
I signaled the bar tender for another shot.
"Come on." He grabbed my arm. "Lets dance."
I pulled my arm bacl
"You're no fun." He muttered, took a drink from his beer.
I stared at my shot of liquor, no fun? Im no fun? We'll see about that. I gulped down my drink and grabbed the hot guy next to me that was clearly checking me out the whole time and yanked him onto the dance floor, leaving Tanner back at he bar speechless.

My eyes shot opened as i felt something travelling up my throat, oh god, im about to vomit. I got up so fast that everything was a blur. I ran to the washroom crashing onto the floor. I vomited. Everything came out me like lava, burning the corners of my mouth. The vomit stopped, i wiped my mouth and leaned against the wall. Everything hurt, my head felt like it was going to explode, literally. I felt so sore. Than i realised i was back home. How? I cant remember anything. I looked down to see i was still in my slutty clothing from lastnight.
I heard a knock at the door. It was Tanner.
"You look awesome."
"Not in the mood Tanner, get out!" The vomit was rushing back up. I hoped Tanner would be gone so he wouldn't have to see me like this. My head was over the toilet again, but Tanner wasn't gone, he was there, holding my hair back.
I sat back down taking another break.
"You okay?" He asked, genuinely.
"Obviously not." I felt bad for the rude comment but come on. Do i look ok? "How much did have to drink lastnight?"
"A bit too much, but you wouldn't take no for answer."
I groaned.
"Why dont you shower, there's breakfast waiting for you."
I nodded and locked the door once he walked out.
I've never been in so much pain, and after the refreshing shower i still felt like complete shit.
I put on sweats and a baggy t shirt. It was already 4pm. I guess i'll be having breakfast a little late. I came into the kitchen, Tanner handed me a pill and a glass of water. Advil. Thank god.
"Wheres everyone?" I asked
"Out as usual." He answered.
There was a plate of scrambled eggs and toast waiting for me at the table. My stomach growled once my eyes laid on the food. I sat down as Tanner joined me. I stuffed my face not even looking up to see Tanner's expression.
All of a sudden i stopped within a second. I stopped chewing with food left in my mouth.
"Blair? What wrong?" Tanner worryingly asked.
"I'm gonna be sick." I managed to get through with a mouthful of food, i ran back to the bathroom and threw up some more. I begun to shiver and couldnt stop, i was literally shaking. I tried to rock back and forth to calm myself down.
"Why is this happening to me?" I asked Tanner who came rushing in.
"I dont know, the question i why you and no one else."
He sat down next to me on the bathroom floor and grabbed my shoulders. He looked straight into my eyes.
"Your eyes-" he begun. "They're red, like extremley. Bloodshot. Maybe you should lie down." He helped me up and i crawled into bed. I ended up falling asleep.
* * *
I woke up sweaty as hell, my stomach stung with pain and my headached was getting worse. Tanner was right across from me.
"You have a fever, a really bad one Blair." He begun to worry me. "Eat this, you have to eat something." He peeled a banana and handed it over to me, i took a bit and immediately spit it out.
"I cant Tanner!" My eyes begun to tear. "Everything-" I started to sob. "Everything hurts."
"Shhh, its okay, you'll be fine." He picked me up and carried me to the car. "We're going to the hospital."
Every few minutes my eyelids would close and i'd sleep and dream and sometimes i couldn't tell what was real and what was not. A bunch of things happened, i was constantly being carried, at one point i was put into a wheelchair and carried into a room where i was put up on the bed. I felt a needle pin into my arm. And everything went black from there.
I opened my eyes.
I was in a hospital bed and looked over at Tanner sitting on the chair next to the bed with his head in his hands.
"Tanner." I whispered.
He flinched at the sound of my voice. "Hey."
He pulled his chair closer.
"Am i dying or something." I joked.
He brushed my hair out of my face. "You have alcohol poisoning Blair."
"Soooo"
"So you're going to have to stay here for a few days."
"Oh." Is all i could manage to get out. "That should be fun."
"You scared the living crap out of me, you know that." Tanner rubbed his eyes as if he hadn't slept for days.
"Well, who would of thought."
"Not funny Blair."
"I know." I sighed. "Im sorry."
"Me too."
