Chapter 34

I wake up with a pounding headache and notice I'm not in my own bed. I start to panic until I spot Theo asleep on the floor beside the bed. I can't help but smile at him and be grateful that I'm blessed to have a friend like him. I wonder why I didn't make it home last night, my mom and dad must be freaking out. Last thing I can remember is Theo carrying me out of the bathroom.

"Theo!" I throw a pillow at him to wake him up. My voice is almost gone and I'm regretting drinking so much last night.

"Umm" He mumbles putting his face into his pillow which is all he slept with on the floor last night.

"Wake up! Where's my phone I need to call my dad! I'm hungry!" I state my two current crises.

"It's fine I called your mom last night and I'll make breakfast soon" He groans sitting up on the floor.

"Why didn't you sleep in your bed last night?" I ask him as he pulls some sweats on.

"Because you needed some where to sleep" He says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"You could have just left me on the couch" I tell him but he shakes his head, "Or you could have just got in beside me you know I wouldn't mind" I tell him feeling guilty that he had to take care of my drunk ass last night and then had to sleep on the floor.

"You weren't awake to tell me that you wouldn't mind, and I wouldn't leave you on the couch on your own" He says getting up from the floor and jumping into bed beside me. "Don't worry I didn't mind"

"You even took my makeup off!" I state after feeling my fresh face. "Your honestly a blessing" I admit rolling over to face him.

"I know, I'm kinda an amazing person" He smiles smugly at me.

"What did you say to my mom? She must have been freaking out that I didn't come home"

"I told her you were too drunk to go home so I'd take you back to my place to sleep it off, she said no so I hung up and did it anyways" He smirks at me. The colour drains from my face and he can't hold his laughter back anymore.

"Your joking?" I sigh with relief.

"Of course I am" He says still laughing at my reaction.

"She would have literally hunted you down and killed you" I laugh with him.

"I know, I just called and told her we left the party early and came back here to get food and when we did you fell asleep on the couch. I told her it would be fine for you to stay and offered to take you home if she wanted but she said it was ok for you to stay" He tells me.

"Thanks for taking care of me last night" I sigh thinking about the state I was in.

"Please don't remind me of it" He groans pulling the covers over his head but I pull them back, "Your such an annoying drunk, do you know how many times I had to take that bottle of vodka of you or stop you from dancing and stripping on top of tables!" He laughs.

"Seriously Theo as embarrassed as I am thinking about it, thank you"

"It's fine, it's what best friends are for" He assures me.

"And I'm sorry" Most of last night is a blur and I don't remember much but the parts that I do remember I wish I could forget to save me the embarrassment.
