Chapter 5: Drunken State

Tom's POV

I was sitting on the steps of Bing's house. I had my hood over my head and I was wiping away tears. I was just trying to help Matt, but I guess someone found out about my awful experience with people and just made fun of me for it. Everything felt so crouded back there, everyone laughing, at me.
I sighed.
"Why did I have to cheer up Matt? What did they see upstairs anyways?" I questioned quietly to myself.
"Will I ever show my face at school again..?" Tears swelled up again as I imagined how it will never get better. How ill never get a girlfriend or get married, ill never see my friends again because ill be too embarrassed, ill be known as the "gay guy," and ill get bullied. I looked up at the night sky, the stars twinkled and the moon was full, and lit up the night void surrounding everywhere. I took one last look around. The only thing I could hear was the loud music from inside and the crickets chirping. I buried my head into my knees and sobbed.
"I-I wanna go h-home."

A couple minutes pass when I heard the door behind me open and close, and footsteps sounding like someone sat next to me. I stayed quiet, but kept my head buried.
"Nice night, isn't it?" I heard a familiar voice say. I whined softly in a response.
"So many stars twinkling tonight. I wonder which ones are the planets." I slowly lifted up my head, dried tears stained under my eyes.
"I think I found one." I heard them say, I turned slightly to see Edd next to me. Edd was pointing at a red star.
"Jupiter? Or was it Mars? I can't remember." He said calmly. Edd then turned to me, and said,
"You know what? It doesn't matter, you know why?"
I sniffed and with a shaky voice, I replied no.
Edd smiled at me.
"Because no star or planet compares to the one I like the most." Edd said simply.
"W-Which ones that?" I ask.
"The Thomas star." Edd said.
I wiped away the dried tears.
"Where's t-that?" I said obviously.
Edd pointed into the sky and then spun his finger around and then poked where my heart was.
"Here." Edd chuckled.
I wiped my face once again and blushed. Then I turned away from Edd.
"You don't mean that.." I said quietly.
"I more feel like Pluto...forgotten and outcasted.." I said.
"But special and have supporters everywhere saying you are important." Edd added.
"Why are you trying to cheer me up? Your just going to be called gay." I said, referring to what happened to me.
"What Edwardo said shouldn't get you down, at least you were being kind." Edd said reassuring.

I sniffed and placed my head on the palm of my hand, so that my elbow was resting on my leg.
"I wanna go home, Edd." I said quietly. Edd wrapped his arm around me, I was thinking of pushing him off me but I didnt move. I yawned and my eyelids were half shut. I'm very tired.
I was about to pass out, when suddenly the door behind me and Edd opened. Edd and I turned around to see Tord and Matt at the front of the door. They closed the door behind them and sat down as well. Tord sat beside me and Matt beside Edd. Tord looked down at me.
"I..uh, never seen you cry before Tom." Tord said softly.
"Yeah, are you two okay out here?" Matt said. I nodded and then looked at the night sky.
The stars twinkled and shined around us. The music drained from my ears and I only focused on my friends. Well, I don't know about Tord, but..eh. Its in the moment. I don't care anymore.

Several minuets pass, we are just talking and chilling, sometimes crack a few jokes. Occasionally someone would open the door behind us and check up on us to see of we were alright or still here. Although later on we start to go inside. We're just in the kitchen continuing our conversation, eating, drinking, talking, although I start to get dizzy and slur my words.
"Tom? You feeling alright?" Edd said concerned. I giggle at this.
"Hehe y-yeaah. Imfiiiiiine Eddie boy kheheh." I try to stay up but my balance is a bit off. The room feels like its tilted. I don't remember drinking any alcohol, but I think I'm drunk.
"Jehovah's witness! Did you hear me!" Tord says to me.
"Whaa? Nonononooo...I don't thiink I did commieee...*hic* miiind repeateedingnng....*hic* for meee?" I smile to Tord. Everything seems so funny right now, I feel like falling over and throwing up though.
I watch Tord get some punch and take a sip. He has a shocked look on his face.
"Guys, I think the punch has been spiked." Tord says.
I feel my body loosen and I start to drift from reality.

Everything went black.
I look around but no ones there, but I can still hear everything like the music and people shouting and talking, except its sorta muffled. I taste my mouth. It tastes like fruit and some sort of stinging, wheat, taste. Wait, is this alcohol? Did I pass out?
I dont have much experience with alcohol because I'm only 17, so this is freaky. I feel so tired and dizzy, I think I'm sweating too. I can't tell.
I just sit in the dark for a few minutes, but it feels like hours. This kinda hurts my brain. Then, in the black void, I see a figure. It comes closer with out walking, like its hovering. Its in the shape of a female body, as it gets closer, I can see it has red hair, pale skin, and grayish blue eyes, and was wearing a black dress. She seemed to be in pain, her eyes looking up and her feet dangling.
I start to breathe hard as I realise she's not breathing. I start to hyperventilate and then grow more weaker. Is this a nightmare? How do I stop this?! This hurts! Hello?! Anybody?! Please! Help!

My eyes shoot open and my body suddenly falls onto the ground and I start coughing hard. I feel like throwing up and I hear voices behind me.
"Throw up in the toilet!"
"The. Toilet!"
"Tom? Are you okay?!"
I weakly crawl to the toilet and throw up. I cough and spit, everything hurts and I'm crying.
I'm no longer in the black void anymore but my eyesight is a little fuzzy when I stare at the toilet. I try closing my eyes but I can still see the woman when I do. Its like having flashes of the same black void every time I blink. My throat stings from vomiting.
Once I'm done, I take a look behind me, just blurry figures..
Just blurry voices.. I'm sobbing..

I think I need to throw up again.
