Vivi

Chapter 8

Ivy

God, do I have the worst headache of all time. Getting out of bed was hard to do, but I manage. As soon as I get into the bathroom I notice my makeup is already gone and I have no raccoon eyes. My hair's a mess but that can be fixed a breakout couldn't. I step in the shower and wash fast. I'm eager to know what happened last night and the only way to find out is to ask Malia, Carmen, Riley, or River.

After getting out and throwing on leggings, a hoodie, and sneakers I head into the kitchen. When I get there I see Malia groaning in pain while downing her coffee.

"More!" She says like a cavewoman once she put her mug down. She grabs her head and takes a deep breath like she's trying to internalize the pain.

"You've already had three cups, you're cut off, and stop the groaning. You'll wake Ivy up and her head will be worse than yours." I hear River say and Malia groans in response. Both of their backs are turned to me. They couldn't even hear me come in from Malia's groaning. My phone goes off and Malia groans loudly at the noise.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey, goldie."

"Reina, hey! What's up?" I ask with a smile.

"I just wanted to ask if I could see you and Malia sometime before the wedding." She says and I can hear her own smile through the phone.

"Of course. When's best for you?" I ask knowing how busy she is now.

"Next Sunday at 12 a.m?"

"Alright that's good for us I think."

"Perfect, I'll see you both then."

"Alright, can't wait to see you," I say before hanging up. "You don't have anything to do next Sunday, do you?" I ask Malia.

"You know I don't plan that far ahead." She says cranky.

"Well, Reina needs to talk to us about her wedding. Now stop being a bitch and take some Advil." I say while walking to the medicine cabinet. I hear River do one of those laughs that sound like you're choking. Like he wasn't expecting me to say that but doesn't want Malia to get mad at him.

"You mean the wedding that we're not bridesmaids at?" She says squinting her eyes at me.

"She doesn't have any bridesmaids," I state before sitting next to her at the kitchen table.

"I don't get that... why doesn't she want bridesmaids? Doesn't she want a bachelorette party?" Malia asks like she's talking to herself.

"I think it's more about how she doesn't want her fiance to have a bachelor party," I say while thinking about Reina's fiance's best man. He's not to be trusted.

"I guess that makes sense," Malia says while looking over at River who is rolling his eyes at us.

"So, what happened last night?" I ask.

"I was hoping you could tell me," Malia says while looking into her empty mug.

"I don't remember anything after you went to the bathroom," I say with a shrug. Her eyes immediately widen and she slowly turns her head to look at me.

"I went to the bathroom... at a frat house?" Malia says in disgust and I laugh. "Can you fill in the blanks for us River?" Malia says while turning around to River. I do the same because I really want to hear this.

"Well, after you went to the bathroom, you both drank extra. I got into a little fight with the guy who crowned Ivy and then I dragged both of your asses home." He says casually.
