Another problem Maria is having. Even with Eliza's support and kindness, Maria still finds herself back at the dance floor, drinking her tears away.

Eliza never really took notice of it, and Maria never exactly lied about it either. Even so, Maria often got into trouble being out and about.

Maria took a shot of whiskey, loving the burn it left down her throat. Maria smiled drunkenly, as she danced with some blonde girl.

Eventually, Maria stumbled out of the club, and took out her cellphone.

2 missed calls from Eliza 💕💕

"Whoopsie." Maria slurred, as she called Eliza back.

"Maria? Where are you?"

"ohhhh I'm fine, how are you?"

"No, Maria, where are you?"

"Oh.. oh! I'm at the club.."

"At the club?"

"Exactly!"

"Are you drunk?"

"Mayyyyybeee?"

A sigh was heard from the other line.
"I'll pick you up, be careful."

"Of course! When am I not?"

She hung up.

. . .

Eliza came by the club, seeing Maria singing 'I kissed a girl' off key.

"I kisSed a girL and I liKeeeD iT!"

Eliza couldn't help but chuckle. "Maria, c'mon."

Maria smiled widely when she Eliza. She scrambled to the car and got in.

"Heyyy beautiful!" Maria slurred, patting Eliza's cheek.

"Hello, dearest."

"I wanna go home."

"That's where we're going."

"You're cute."

"Mhm."

"And smart, and dazzling, and se-"

"We're going home." Eliza interrupted, turning a bright pink.

. . .

"You're pretty!" Maria hummed, continuing to pat Eliza's soft cheek.

Eliza chuckled. "Thank you, now have some water." She gave Maria a small glass of water.

"I don't want it!"

"Please?"

"Okay-" Maria took the glass and chugged the water in 3 seconds flat.

"I preferred you to drink it slower, but eh."

Maria smiled and gently grabbed Eliza's cheeks, pressing a rather sloppy kiss to her forehead.

"Maria!" Eliza exclaimed, feeling her face heat up. "Go to sleep!" She said, absolutely flustered from Maria's kiss.

"Fine.." Maria whined, allowing Eliza to put a blanket over her.

"I love you."

Eliza didn't hear, since she was already walking away to keep her thoughts together.
