When the tears fall

Brandy

    "You're the most amazing friend," Amelia said, voice thick with alcohol. It was 7:30 on a Wednesday night, November 1st, 2017 and Amelia knew that she had school tomorrow but still decided to have fun. She thought that whenever she drank, she would only get a little wobbly.
    "Haha love you." said Nicole, also drunk. Nicole was Amelia's best friend. They did everything together. Nicole went to school a few towns over from Amelia but they lived in the same apartment building, Nicole right below Amelia.
Ryan and Joe were doing their own thing. Ryan was Amelias boyfriend. He had hid temps at the time and couldn't drink with Amelia and Nicole because he had to drive home. Joe was Amelia and Nicoles other neighbor. He had bought the brandy we were all drinking. They were poker buddies, they all loved to play Texas Hold 'em together and they did almost every day.
    Amelia lived with what she thought was a strict mom and was supposed to be home at 8 every night. By around that time, she was blackout drunk. She couldn't walk up the stairs to her apartment. Nicole tried to help but she was also too drunk. Ryan had to help Amelia get to her apartment. When she finally stumbled in, her mom, Lola asked "Are you drunk?"
    To which she replied "No" as she stumbled to her room and passed out on her bed. However Ryan told her mom the truth as she woke up and vomited all over her bed. Ryan tried to get a bag to her in time but he couldn't.
Ryan spent the rest of his time with her cleaning up her puke until he had to go. Amelia was scared and didn't want him to go. He eventually dragged her into the bathroom and was able to leave.
Amelia spent the next 4 hour puking her guts out in the bathroom while her mom was trying to sleep. Eventually she went to her bed and passed out for the rest of the night.
