I awake to a blinding flash of light and a pounding headache, my mind is spinning so it takes me a second to clear my head before it dawns on me. What was I thinking last night? My whole body feels like dead weight when I try and move, standing up takes a good few minutes and I have to lean against the wall for balance. The sun still burns my eyes so I keep blinking as I attempt to work out what I'm doing. It must be quite early as Julie hasn't come to open up the shop yet, if she finds out I slept rough last nights she'll freak so going somewhere else sounds like a good option.

facing Luke is the last thing I want to do right now but I know I've got explaining to do so I stagger home. When I get there I realize I have no keys; I knock and Luke sprints towards the door. He looks so worried. He unlatches it and hugs me straight away which is when I realize how much I am shivering. "Where have you been?" He cries. My lips fail to sync with my brain to provide a response. "You can't just disappear like that!" His voice sounds more serious now. "Please tell me you weren't drunk when you left, I saw the empty bottles..."

"Sorry Luke, I don't know what I was thinking. I ended up in this nightclub and there was some guy. I don't really remember."

"Some guy?!" He shouts.

"Nothing happened! I swear, I didn't mean it like that." I shout.

"Do you remember?" He says suddenly eerily calm.

"Most of it - yes." I reply. Lukes' eyes start to water.

"Are you telling me the truth about what happened? Cause some kids from school thought they saw you making out with some guy at Dub Rox." I freeze, I didn't make out with him. Did I?

"I was at a club but I don't know if it was Dub Rox and we were both drunk." I plead.

" I guess drunk sex is a hobby of yours then Sapphire." He says and slams the door in my face. For a while I don't move but then my shock turns into desperation, I raise my fist at the door and start pounding repeatedly. Luke doesn't come back. Now I'm wailing and screaming at the top of my lungs like a small child. Fuck. I was supposed to collect the twins yesterday, it was my turn. I kick the door as hard as I can, it sends a wave of pain up my leg. My screaming continues as I curl up into a ball on the floor then slowly it fades into sobs.

Usually in a situation like this I would phone Summer but my phone is in the apartment so that's not an option right now. Nothing is going right for me, I keep landing myself in these situations.
