Sweet Poison

Sweet Poison (Ch.41 Pt. 3 & Pt. 4)

Pain pulsing. Head throbbing.

Were the few coherent words my groggy brain was able to project.

My tongue tasted sour as if I had stuck it in vinegar and salt repeatedly. My vision was blurry, and I couldn't make out where I was. Groggily, I wiped my eyes and blinked a few times and everything started to become clear again.

Laying diagonal in an unkempt mess, I was lying on the foot of my bed practically falling off. My trash can was directly under my head and the smell emitting from it made my nose crinkle in disgust.

I leaned up wincing as I felt another throb slam from my temple.  I looked at my floor and Sarah, Trish, and Alice were all passed out. It looked like they just came in and dropped on the floor.

"Sarah." My voice sounded raspy and overused. I cleared my throat and talked again. "Sarah, Trish, Alice." I said again in the same raspy voice. "My voice is gone...what exactly did I do last night?"

They didn't respond, so slowly I rolled off the bed and trampled to Sarah giving her a little nudge to the side with my foot.

Slowly, she opened her heavy eyelids and looked at me through squinted lids. "What?" She drowsily questioned.

"What happen last night?" I put my hand on my forehead practically aching for some pain killers. She looked at me and turned on her side for a few seconds and then rolled over again and sat up. She scratched her head looking around and then shook Trish awoke.

Trish sprung up. "Where is she!?" She screamed, arms flailing. Two sets of hands cupped her mouth, muffling her shout while Sarah and I both looked at her like she had lost her mind

"Where is who?" I hissed now annoyed that one she intensified my headache and two her loud voice could have possibly alerted to my parents that I have company when I shouldn't. Realization of the situation seemed to dawn on Trish's face with Sarah's and my hand over her mouth. All frozen and tense we waited for a couple seconds, but when no one yelled my name or stormed into the room, relief flooded through all of us.

"You." She answered once we removed our hands.

I raised and eyebrow and pointed at myself. "Me? What?"

"Well I had to be your babysitter last night so excuse me if I'm still having nightmares from that event." She grabbed her hair and put it into a ponytail.

Already knowing this was going to be a long story, I walked over to my bed and sat down. When I turned around Alice was already up, blinking tiredly, legs crossed with her elbows on her knees. I smiled and her and turned my focus to Trish. "What happen last night?"

She huffed and redid her ponytail. She was always messing with her hair. "To be truthful I don't know. By the time I found you again, you were already making out with a guy that definitely wasn't Eli." Trish began to say until Sarah cut her off.

"Well when I saw you, Elissa, you were furious and was shouting out about how you were done with Eli which is something you say all the fucking time by the way.  Before I could ask what had happened you stormed off into the crowd. But let me start from the beginning."

Sarah began to tell me her side of the story.

Sarah's Memory:

"Where is Elissa?" I asked Trish worriedly remembering how she had looked almost sick with anger the last time I had see her.

Dancing to the beat, Trish shrugged. "How the hell am I suppose to know?" Trish replied shooting a flirty smirk at a guy a couple of people away from us. "Am I  her keeper?"
