The next morning, I threw up while Dimitri held my hair back.

Urghh, I felt so sick.

“Next time, lay of the booze” said Dimitri, who looked like he wanted to laugh

 “Shut it you!” he looked concerned.

 “Im sorry.  Are you alright?” he asked. I answered by chucking up.

 He wiped my mouth and gave me my toothbrush. I brushed my teeth quickly in the sink and Dimitri dragged me downstairs, and the only other people who seemed to have a hangover were Christian and lissa.

Christian was pale and lissa was sleeping on the couch.

 “you two got hangovers too huh? Well, it sure makes me feel better to know im not the only one” Christian looked up at me, no smug look on his face. Wow, he really was hungover.

 I turned to the Belikov’s.

 “Hey, how come you guys don’t have hangovers?” Dimitri didn’t seem to have one either.

 Paul was the one who spoke

 “Well, what can I say? We Belikov’s hold our alcohol better!” he said chuckling at our sorry states.

 “Well, I guess we better get going. God knows what the house looks like at home” I said.

 Olena gave us all a hug.

 “When will I get to see you all again?” she asked.

 “Soon” I promised. Viktoria said goodbye as well.

 “Viktoria, be careful “I said. I was referring to the boys she dated.

 “I will” she promised.

 I practically had to drag Christian and lissa out the door they were so hung-over.

 Dimitri jumped in the driver’s seat. He guessed I couldn’t drive in my current state. He guessed right.

 I fell asleep on the way home, obviously, and the next time I woke up we were at home.

 I jumped out of the car, relieved the house wasn’t in flames.

 I ran up to the door and flung it open.

 “WE’RE HOME!” I yelled, glad to be back.

The kids ran up to me, James a slightly worried look on his face.

 “Now, mom, don’t freak out. There’s someone here to see you” he said nervously. I pushed past him, and almost fainted when I saw her sitting on my couch.

 “Hello rose” said Tasha, rising from the couch.

 “What the hell is she doing here?” I hissed to Adrian.

 “Now, rose, she has to explain something to you” he said. I stood there, arms crossed waiting.

 “Rose, I swear to god it wasn’t Me.” she said.

 “What the hell! Of course it was you! You shot me!” was she crazy?

 “No, you’ve got it all wrong. I tried to shoot the real killer. You got in the way. Im truly sorry!” she said, eyes wide and honest.

 “Where’s your proof?” I asked, eyes narrowed. She pulled out a newspaper from behind her back.

Tasha Ozera found innocent

 Yesterday, Tasha ozera was found innocent of the murder of the queen. The real murderer hasn’t yet been identified.

 “Well, it seems legitimate” I said, unsure.
