Last night was insane. I'd like to talk about it but I honestly don't remember. I have blurs of memories like stumbling through the front door and tripping up the stairs. I can also remember Cole punching the refrigerator because it didn't have any food in there he liked.

Cole was literally the best person to be around when he was drunk. He would crack non stop jokes all night and then laugh hysterically at himself. Damon on the other hand was just out of it. He couldn't remember a single thing the next morning and normally lost a shoe.

I don't understand him somedays, but I love him so much. I woke up on the couch with a lions mane for hair along with Celeste right next to me. The tv was on and some old soap opera was playing in the background. I stood up and quickly fell to the floor with a loud thud, startling Celeste who fell off the couch and onto me.

"Shit" I grumbled.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Em!" She gushed. We stared at each other and busted out laughing.

"I was on my way to get Advil before I was rudely fell on..." I joked around with her

"Do you want some?" Celeste nodded and I went upstairs to my bathroom to get some Advil and then down to the kitchen to get a water bottle. With every step it felt like someone was hitting my head with a hammer. Fucking hangovers.

I plopped on the couch which caused my head to throb even more. 'Smooth move Emerald' I thought. I stretched out my arm and handed Celeste the two tiny round pills. She quickly took them and swallowed without even taking a sip of water.

"Where's Cole at? I know Damon is upstairs in my room."

Celeste seemed puzzled as if she had no idea what happened to her lover boy.

"I guess he's with Damon.. Let's go see."

We walked up the stairs and prepared ourselves to pour water on the guys to wake them up. Celeste was the first up the steps so she opened my bedroom door and shut it back quickly. Her eyes were wide and I began to worry.

"Please Em just don't go in there right now."

"Why? Is Cole naked again?" I laughed because that wasn't a rare thing for him but she didn't even smile.

"Seriously Emerald I don't think it's a good idea for you to go in there." I eyed her carefully

"Celeste I'm tired if your shit." She looked rather surprised as I pushed past her and barged in the door.

I saw Damon. Definitely saw Damon. But rather than Cole, a different blonde took his place. And that blonde wasn't a guy either. I stomped over to the bed and ripped the sheets away from Damon and whoever that slut was.

They had on underwear and a tshirt but my heart was breaking. Still holding the bottle of water I planned to pour on COLE and Damon, I twisted off the cap and turned it upside down above the unknown girl. She woke up gasping for air which I found pretty amusing and hit Damon awake in the process.

"The fuck is this" I said while motioning toward them.

Damon was still waking up so I don't think things fully registered with him yet, but they sure registered with the unknown girl. She was stuttering and trying to make up excuses. Damon rolled over and looked at me and his eyes widened.

"I swear Emerald it isn't what it seems, or maybe it is I don't even fucking know okay? You know how I am Em, I lose shoes and forget what house I'm even in. I honestly don't know how she got in here and I honestly don't know if anything happened."

Tears brimmed my eyes and I squeezed them tight so they wouldn't escape.

"Damon it was our two year anniversary and I wake up to this shit. I suggest both of you get out of my house within two minutes or I'm calling the police."

I was heartbroken. I had never felt such a burden before. Damon tried to get up and kiss me but I just shoved him away.

"Emerald Shay Johnson, look at me please."

"I can't Damon, you can't just fuck with my feelings whenever you want to and expect me to forgive you. Get out of my house.!"

My words were choppy from crying. I'd be surprised if anyone understood me because I did that thing where you cry so hard and start getting choked up and gasp for air. I had nothing to say, I was stripped from emotion. I was hoping and praying this was a bad dream but the sad reality was the fact it wasn't.

----------------------------------------------

I haven't talked to Damon for 3 days. But Cole, Celeste and Erin have been there for me through all this shit. I just ended up not going to school for the rest of the week and Erin stayed home with me which was great. Every morning she surprised me with something new like Starbucks or Dunkin donuts.

I just don't understand Damon.. How could he manage to get a girl in my house without me noticing. Anyways I plan on doing absolutely nothing this weekend. I'll probably just sit around watching movies and eating all day.
