I woke up with a pounding headache. Dear God, why did I drink so much yesterday? Well, it was a party...

My hand fumbled carefully for the pile of books that was the nightstand on my side of Damon's bed to get the bottle of aspirin. I was certain I had placed it there yesterday, but something wasn't right. Something was wrong!

I didn't want to open my eyes, but to find my aspirin I had to. That's when I realised I was in my hotel room.

What?!

I thought I went to sleep in Damon's bed. I was sure I went to sleep in Damon's bed, curled up in his arms. How could I be back in my room?

I looked around, expecting to see Damon softly snorting next to me. Instead I found a bed next to mine and in it lay my friend Anna, sleeping.

"Anna?! You're here?"

She snapped her head up and stared at me. "What?" she said sleepily.

"You're here!" I said extatic and hurried over to her bed to hugged her.

"Of course I'm here! Why wouldn't I be?" she looked at me, with a puzzled look on her sleepy face.

My headache made its precence known. "What do you mean; I had to go on my own due to your operation..." I squinted my eyes at her and tried to form coherent thoughts.

"What operation? Emma, you're scaring me!"

"What?" I didn't understand anything and on top of that my head was threatening to explode. "I need aspirin!"

"I need sleep," she murmured and put the pillow over her head.

I went to the bathroom while thoughts swirled around in my head, took a couple of aspirin and then slumped back in bed. Not even half a minute later I bounced back up again. "What do you mean? You had to take your appendix out, that's why I had to go on my own!"

"I took my appendix out three months ago..." she mumbled from under the pillow. "Go back to sleep!"

I sat down on my bed and my head was spinning. What the hell, was I back in my life?!

Oh, no! Damon wasn't in my life, had he never been in my life? Had everything just been a dream?

Anna suddenly sat up in her bed. "What is wrong with you? Did you hit your head?"

I stared at her.

"We arrived from the airport last night and jetlag is killing me."

Tears started to pour down my cheeks, I just couldn't stop them. "That's not true, that can't be true! This cannot be happening!"

My friend just stared confused at me.

"I'm broken, but who can fix me now?" I just cried and cried while curling up in a foetal position on the bed.

Anna came and sat beside me on the bed. "Emma, I don't understand! Was it a dream, a nightmare?"

What could I say? I just cried.
