I'm In Love With An Idiot

"She's waking up." I could barely make out a voice say over the ringing in my brain.

Damn why do people always wake me up?

"Give her some space guys." That voice I recognize, Alec. Why was he in my room?

I opened my eyes to see a very white room. This wasn't my room. It was a hospital room.

"Hey guys.. What happened" I said hoarsely.

"When I....."Alec started. "Came to check on you, yeah that's it, you started breaking out in hives and swelling up real bad, I got worried so I took you to the hospital."

"She had an allergic reaction to diglycerides." I turned to see the doctor standing at the door.

"Yeah and when Josh went to your apartment he checked the stuff we used for the... Recipe and apparently it was the whip cream." Maddie said.

"Did you know you were allergic?" The doctor asked. I shook my head.

"Well just in case you get a reaction again, you should notice the symptoms before and during it."

I nodded before the doctor continued.

"You will experience delusions and/or feel droopy, it's similar for when you are on medication or... well drunk."

"Geez you've had a rough couple days Grace, the school said your aloud to take the first few days off of university if you like," Camille grinned folding her arms. "Guess it wasn't all bad right?"

I chuckled "No, but I'm still going to go to school, when does it start?"

"Tomorrow."

I groaned. "I'm still going though."

Maddie smiled at me, but Camille rolled her eyes. "You get free days to stay home and your going to go to school?"

"That's right."

"Your weird."

"No wonder we're friends."

She snorted at my comeback. "Pretty much."

Everyone went home except Alec, who was my car ride. The doctor told me I was free to go when ever.

"Hey Grace?" Said Alec.

"Yeah?"

"I have a question?"

He seemed a little fidgety, trying not to catch my glance.

"Shoot."

He finally looked me in the eye staring with worry.

"What are your nightmares about?"

My eyes widened in shock, how did he know about my nightmares?

"How do you know about my nightmares?" He looked even more worried, and a little confused.

"Don't you remember last night?" I shook my head.

"The allergic reaction must of jogged my memory, I mean I guess that does happen when your drunk right?" I smiled, but he looked down at the ground, almost disappointed.

He mumbled something to himself, but I couldn't make out what he said.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" I asked. He looked up from the ground and nodded.
