chapter thirteen

I woke up the next morning in Geoff's bed, I only knew that because he was
asleep peacefully beside me.

Suddenly I felt a pain in my head, with it being so sore, I clutched it with one of my hands, trying to hold it up. I don't usually get headaches, specifically ones like this. The only time I get it this bad, is when I'm hungover.

I quickly remembered the activities of last night and what we did.
Awsten eventually came down, he sat down far from us, keeping his distance from all of us. He didn't speak much, the only time he spoke is when Geoff or Otto would ask him if he was okay or if he wanted to play a round with them, to which he always declined.

I searched around the room for my phone, trying not to make any noise to wake a peaceful Geoff. I spotted it on the bed-side table, grabbing it, I turned it on and checked the time.

6:10

I groaned softly, making sure I wasn't loud enough to wake anyone up.
I gathered my thoughts for a few minutes, grabbing my head in pain at times. I pulled the covers off my body and got out of the bed and making my way over towards the door, tip-toeing as I did.

I walked down stairs, tip-toeing along them too, being careful that they don't squeak or make a noise. I eventually got down stairs, and made my way into the kitchen, guessing that was where they might have kept medication.

I searched a few cupboards and presses, only finding foods and cutlery.
After awhile of searching the kitchen, I found a box of painkillers in a small cupboard near the fridge.
I opened it up, emptying some into my hand and closing the box back up and putting it away. I grabbed a glass as I put them away, and filled it up with water from the tap. I took the pills and drank the water, my body shivering at the taste. I put the glass in the sink and grabbed my phone.

I wasn't really tired anymore, since I was awake I decided to go to room we were in last night, which was like a gaming or movie room.

I went down and sat on the couch, turning on the tv and grabbing a controller as I did. I wasn't quite sure on how to work the tv, so I decided to just play a game. The game from last night was still on so I decided to play that for a little while.

After awhile of losing and winning, celebration and anger with loss, my eyes began to grow heavy and I became weary, I didn't try to hold back and let myself drift off to sleep, leaving the tv on with the controller still in my hand.

                                 •••

I was awoken by the sound of a loud knock, which was coming from the front door upstairs, I quickly ignored it and checked my phone, unaware of what the time was.

9:30

I sighed as I closed my eyes, trying to drift back to sleep, as I was still tired and my head was still in pain.
As I closed my eyes, the knocking continued, but this time is was getting louder and more aggressive. I assumed none of the boys were awake since they would have gotten the door by now.

I groaned loudly and picked myself up from the couch, lazily dragging my legs as I walked up the stairs and down the hall, towards the door. Before answering it, I looked up towards the stairs, hoping one of them were on their way down to answer the door.

I didn't want to answer it, this wasn't my house and I don't live here, it could be anyone behind the door. None of them were at the stairs, I softly groaned before wearily opening the door.
