When i came to i found myself on the couch in my shared apartment. By swinging my legs over the edge of the couch, pulling myself up, only to realize that was a very bad idea. I hissed, grabbing at my now throbbing head.
Galena: "I see you woke up. How you feeling?"
: "Like someone smacked me upside the head with a two by four. What happened?"
Galena: "What happened was just that."
I let go of my head to look at her: "Excuse me?"
Galena: "What happened was just that. Whoever stole the necklace from you slammed a two by four right into the side of you head. You got a concussion."
: "Well whoever it was has a pretty decent swing." I reached for the glass of water and Tylenol in front of me. "What about Finn? How's he?"
Galena: "He was a little shaken up, but he didn't sustain any injury's from the ordeal. Though he was saying something about a girl named Secora."
: "Say what now?"
Galena: "There was a purple salvia flower left in the middle of you two when you were found. Finn said something about that being her calling card."
Standing up i headed for the door.
Galena: "Where do you think you're going in that condition?"
: "I just need some fresh air. It still reaks of bleach in here."
I tried to make it out of the room before she could yell at me not to do something. Not that i would listen of course.
Galena: "Make sure to stay away from alcohol!"
A silent string of curses went through my mind, but i kept my mouth shut and made my way outside to wave down a cab.
I went to the closest club taking a seat at the bar. Not a huge crowd for a Thursday night, but o well it just means they'll keep the volume down.
The bartender came over, leaning his elbow on the counter: "What can i get for you?"
: "A Tequila Sunrise please."
The bartender raised an eyebrow, but started making my drink: "That's a strong drink for a little lady."
: "Put an extra shot of gin in while your at it."
A man that had been sitting quietly on the stool beside me spoke up: "He's right, that is a strong drink for a little lady, but i don't think I've ever known you to be a little lady."
I turned my head, narrowing my eyes at the dark haired male: "Cyrus?"
Cyrus grinning: "Yes ma'm"
: "What are you doing here?" Only after i said that, did i realize how stupid i sounded.
Cyrus: "What does it look like?"
My drink was placed in front of me: "Getting drunk."
:”Not drunk. I'm just here for a drink, but what about you? Why's your head all wrapped up?"
I took a sip of my drink, before answering: "Got a concussion. Someone took a two by four to the side of my head."
Cyrus tilted his head: "Didn't the doctors tell you to stay away from alcohol for awhile?"
: "Since when have i ever listened to what the doctors had to say."
Cyrus: "Good point."
We continued talking for quite some time. Me ordering more rounds that i should have. I was way past sober by now.
