I’m coming back from the start

(Phana)
I lazily open my eyes because of the howling storm outside that is strongly hitting the window pane of my room. I observed the gray sky and the mad wind making the trees dance like a wild drunk person in the pub. A sudden jolt of pain in my head shot surprisingly bringing me back to the memories of wild and crazy party I had attended last night that’s why I was able to make the metaphor of the dancing trees. Crazy, right?
I could not feel anything from my neck down below like I was tortured by a gang in an initiation rite. I think I really had poured everything last night since this is the first time I felt like half-dead. Breathing is even difficult too. I tried my best to move but fail miserably so I ended up observing the maddening storm that I could see through my vision. I never remembered closing my windows last night but I know my mother did it and I’m thankful.
Until I feel I’m drowsing again, my eyelids are becoming heavy as if the howling storm outside is a lullaby to my ears. When I feel like giving in, my phone suddenly rings loudly washing all the sleepy state enveloping my body once again.
I reach for my phone in the bedside table and check the culprit who had the guts to disturb my perfect bond with my soft bed.
Forth, my idiot best friend is calling.
“Yes asshole? You just disturbed me now thank you!” The other line is silent but before I completely hang up the call, mumble laughter will be heard from the other line.
“I will end this call motherfucker if you will not spea-"
“A’ight, I’m sorry. Good morning hot-headed dumbass. Aren’t you forgetting something?”
I tried contemplating his question to me but it seems I couldn’t find the correct answer.
My mind is too fucked up to think on the things ‘I have been forgetting’ according to Forth, plus my head and body ache is not helping, even making the situation worse.
“Shit Forth just don’t make it hard for me! I am trying to sleep here!” I know Forth does not want me getting irritated so he will not insist himself to me. He’ll lose it eventually, I can tell.
“No you spawn of satan! You need to fucking answer!”
I am wrong ladies and gentlemen. Forth is not a hard-to-get person but this time he is being an ass. Perhaps this is really important that I need to find myself up.
I keep silent for a second and think of the things I might have missed.
“Forth, my good friend, I’m having a hangover now so my mind is fucking dysfunctional, ‘kay?” he just chuckled. Dammit. “I can’t remember what’s so important today-“
“Today is your birthday, asshole.”
I think I hear that wrong.
Wait, what?
“It is just my birthday so what’s the big-“
