I woke up with an agonizing pain in my feet from my heels, better have a bath later I thought. I heard the sound of a fist knocking on the door which nearly made me fall out of my bed, I was gonna yell something like 'come in' or 'I'm up' but that didn't happen instead I made a weird grumbling noise since I had still just woken up.

The person on the other side of the door must have thought of my grumble as an invitation because I heard the door knob twist open with a screech. "Talia? Are you dressed?" I heard juices voice say "yeah" I mumbled with my face still in the pillow, I heard the door open and cracked my eye open a bit to see him standing in the doorway in his pajama pants "I'm making coffee and eggs, do you want any?" He asked "yeah sure, why not" I said sounding very tired.

"Alright it'll be ready in a sec" he said then left the room, I sat up on the side of my bed and arched my back, I looked down at myself to see that I was still in my tiny black dress from the night before,my hair was a mess, and my mascara was a little bit smudged but it wasn't too bad. I got up and walked over to my dresser and pulled out some makeup remover and fixed my makeup that was smudged poorly across my face.

I walked to the bar area of the club not really caring what people thought of my dress or hair at the moment. I sat up on one of the bar stools as Juice came over and handed me a cup of coffee, I mumbled a thanks and began to sip it, I looked over my shoulder at the rest of everyone most people were passed out on the couches or pool table. "How come you're not hungover?" I asked Juice with a smirk "I had club work to do last night and I got tired so I went to bed early enough".

Juice ran into the back kitchen and then came out with two plates of scrambled eggs and handed me some pepper and the plate. I began to eat when Juice spoke up "did you have fun last night?" He asked "uh I guess, not really my favourite party ever" I said honestly "really? They usually have pretty good parties, what was so bad about it" he questioned and rested his elbows on the counter as he ate. "Oh you know, guys drooling down your back and some other guy flipped out on me" I looked down at my plate as I spoke "what do you mean 'flipped out' on you?" He had more of a concerned expression on his face now.

" I don't know, he thought I was a crow eater hitting on him" I sighed "who?" He asked "some guy named Happy" I shrugged "Happy Lowman? Didn't think he talked that much" Juice seemed more calm and at ease now. After a while me and Juice finished eating and were just making up for lost time "when do you start school?" He questioned "two weeks" I replied while tapping my fingernails on the hard wood, he just mumbled an 'oh' and looked down into his now empty cup.

People started waking up soon and left or went to their rooms down the hall to get dressed, when I looked at one of the guys who came out of the hall way I recognized him as Happy that I had met last night. I turned my back to him and drank my last sip of coffee then got up to go get myself another one, I went to the kitchen and poured myself another cup and added some creamer then went to go leave. As I opened the door I ran into someone's chest making the cup off coffee I had in my hand slip and splash all over my neck making it run down my body and spilling on my dress.

When I looked up I saw him again, Happy, I gave him a glare as I set down my cup on the counter beside me and huffed "sorry" he mumbled to me and was holding out a rag, I looked him in the eye and glared at him again and snatched the rag out of his hand. I turned around and walked over to the sink and ran it under some water, I took the rag and wiped off as much coffee as I could for now but felt a pair of eyes at the back of my head.

I turned around again and saw that he was still standing there "do you need something, I'm pretty sure that you've heard, I don't give blow jobs to pricks" I snapped at him and then tossed the damp rag into the sink. He shook his head and rubbed his temple with his fingers "what do you want me to say huh?" He said aggressively at me "I don't know maybe an apology would be nice" I said raising my voice a little bit at him "fine I'm sorry" I crossed my arms and waited "what I said I was sorry?" He asked me "what are you sorry for".

He sighed "you're being ridiculous I don't have to put up with this shit" he almost yelled "then don't" I replied and pushed passed him and walked back to my room. I could tell that he was in awe at what had just happened because he never said anything or chased after me, he just stood there as I stomped off to my room to have some privacy.

I got to my room and locked the door behind me then unzipped my dress and went over to my dresser. I pulled out a crop top and a pair of denim shorts and went to the bathroom, I got in and sat my clothes on the toilet seat and went and turned on the shower, I waited for the water to reach a hot temperature then stepped in. I washed my hair quickly then lathered some soap on and rinsed myself off.

I shut off the shower once all the soap and shower gel was off of my skin and hair and stepped out, I put on all my clothes then brushed through my knot filled wet hair and added just a layer of mascara onto my lashes before stepping out of my steam filled bathroom. I was startled when I heard a loud knocking on my door, I opened my door to see my brothers all to familiar face.

"Were you and Happy ok out there? It seemed pretty heated I could heard it from the bar" he said "uh yeah it's fine, just gave him some words that's all" I mumbled to him. Juice pursed his lips and rocked on his heels a bit "uh I got the day off today, you wanna go get ice cream?" He questioned "its on nine-thirty Juice" I placed a hand on my hip " then they'll be plenty of ice cream" he said then walked off.

My brother is amazing.
