Shit Happens (A Day to Remember)

18: Adrenalize

Song: Adrenalize - In This Moment

A/n: Bit of a shitty chapter but lots of smut, so there's that. It begins a bit after the break-pic if you wish to skip it. I think its quite descriptive but it probably sucks

"HOOONKK-shhh", HOOONKK-shhh."

"Babe, stop snoring." I mumbled tiredly. When the snoring didn't stop I squeezed his hand that I was holding. "Neil, stop."

I felt him stir a little and opened one eye. Wait a second. This hand isn't tattooed. I lifted my head slowly to find that I was not in Neil's bed with Neil, but on Jeremy's couch with Jeremy.

That's when I remembered the events of the day before. I pulled my hand from Jeremy's and carefully stood up so I didn't wake him. I grabbed my nearly-dead phone off the coffee table and went into the kitchen. I had 14 texts and two missed calls. One of the missed calls was from my mom and the other was from Kevin, who left a voicemail.

"Hey, Mikey. I called Jer too but I guess you're both sleeping. We all decided that we won't be heading over there until you guys tell us to. Neil said he'd stay behind if you need another day. Let us know. Alright, bye."

Two of my texts were also from Kevin, one asking how I was doing and the other saying basically the same thing as the voicemail. I had a text from Josh, a text from Alex, a couple from my mom, and the rest were from Neil. I had the feeling they were drunken texts, as they were sent at 4 in the morning and didn't make much sense.

It was 10. Should I wake Jeremy up? I decided to make a cup of coffee and respond to texts and call mom and Kevin back. I talked to each of them for about 20 minutes and drank three cups of coffee within that time when Jeremy woke up.

"G'mornin." He mumbled, clearly still very tired. He made himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the table next to me.

"Morning." I signed in frustration as my phone died. "Sleep well?"

"Mmhhmm." He yawned. "I don't think you did though."

"I feel like I slept okay." I shrugged.

"You kept having nightmares. I had to hold down your arms because you were like, flailing almost."

"Sorry I woke you."

"It's alright. I went right back to sleep afterwards." He paused to sip at his coffee. "I assume Kevin called you too?" I just nodded. "Whenever you're ready. If you're ready. It won't kill us to hold off another day." He put his hand on my back in a comforting sort of way.

"I need a shower first. Then we'll call them."

Jeremy showed me how to use his shower and left me to it. I left my hair unwashed and used Jeremy's body wash, though it was very manly-smelling. I could have gotten out of the shower after probably ten minutes, but the feeling of the hot water was so soothing I stayed in there for another 20.

When I got out, there was a towel, a tshirt, and a pair of shorts I assumed belonged to Danielle folded on the counter for me. I dried myself off and put the clothes on.

I went back out into the living room to find Jeremy sitting on the couch with Zenki curled up in his lap, watching something on tv.

"Do the clothes fit okay?" He asked as I sat next to him.

"Fine." I patted Zenki's head. "Thank you."

"I thought you and Dani were probably about the same size." He shifted in his seat slightly so he could face me. "Should we call the boys then?" I simply nodded.
