Zach's POV:

       "Does it hurt?" I asked Riley. She nods and starts to cry. I give her a hug. "What's the matter, Riley?" Corbyn asked as he walked out of the kitchen. "It hurts so bad." She said balling. "Shhh. Your okay. Your okay." I said as I rub her back. I know she's hurting. But she's also drunk so it's worse for her. Or it could be better. I don't know. She doesn't know how to feel because this is her first time being drunk. She takes deep breathes and calms down. I'm still holding her. "You're drunk. You won't remover this in the morning." I said. She nods and wipes her tears. She lays down and I pull the covers over her. "Get some sleep, okay? I'll be right here if you need me." I said. She nods and closes her eyes. Corbyn is still in the corner of the room getting dressed. Jonah walks out of the kitchen. And sees Daniel sleeping and Riley trying to sleep. He tries to stay quiet. "Is everything okay with her?" He asked me in a whisper. "Yeah. She's just hurting." I said. He looks at her with a sympathetic look and he changes also. Then jack walks out of the kitchen. "Im going to bed. Its  1:00." He said. He gets into the bed with Daniel carefully so Daniel doesn't wake up. Jonah gets in with him. Corbyn walks over to my bed and gets in next to me. Riley is on the end closet to the other bed. Jack turns off the lamp closest to his bed. The one closest to mine is still on. Corbyn covers up with the blankets. I look at Riley. She looks like she's asleep. I turn off the light and get under the covers next to Riley. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

       I wake up to a weird sound next to me. It's like a gargling noise. I open my eyes and look at Riley. I think she's choking on her own vomit. But she's not moving. She's passed out. I try to turn her over but she's so stiff. I try my hardest and she flips over with her head over the edge of the bed. She puked all over the floor. I get out if bed and turn in the light. "Are you okay, Riley?" I asked as she coughed all the vomit out of her throat. She tries to breathe. She nods. I put my hand over my heart and take a breath of relief. She could've died if I didn't wake up. Thank god I did. She lays back down and closes her eyes. She's barely aware of what's going on cause she's drunk. I get back into bed between Riley and corbyn. I don't lay down, I just sit up. I keep the lamp on. I'm not going to sleep. What if it happens again. I look at the time. It's 3:00. I play on my phone to keep myself awake just Incase she chokes again. I don't want her to die.

       The alarm clock went off at 9:00. Everyone starts to wake up except for me. I'm already awake. I've been awake for 6 hours. I'm exhausted. Riley is still sound asleep. I'm just gonna leave her because she's probably hung over and I don't want to put her through that pain just yet. I stand up and get dressed like everyone else.

       We have 5 minutes left and then we have to leave. Riley is still asleep. I wake her up. She groans in pain. "It hurts, Zach." She said. "I know. But you have to get up. We have to get back to LA." I said. It hurts but she gets up and we walk downstairs to the car. The only thing she's holding is her bear. We get in the car and start driving.
