"Holy shit"

"Someone get a towel or something"

"Ellie what the fuck was that for, I'm not your boyfriend"

"Is she okay!"

"Should we call an ambulance"

So many voices spoke around me but I couldn't for the life of me remember what happened or who these people were.

"Rhylee can you hear me?" A soft voice spoke next to me, shaking my shoulder gently.

"Alright everyone, party is over" Another voice called out.

I heard several sets of feet shuffling around, some keys jingling and people calling out goodbye to a guy called Tom.

Tom...
The party, I was at Toms party.
Some guy was flirting with me at Toms party and a chick threw her drink at me.
I smashed my face on the corner of the mantle.

My memory was coming back to me and I tried to open my eyes but squeezed them shut again at the bright light above me.

"ouch.. fuck" I said in a shaky voice

"Rhylee" A worried voice called out.

"I'm okay, I think" I said tentatively.

"Can you try open your eyes again love" The same soft voice spoke.

I tried again slowly this time. Letting my eyes adjust to the light around me. Leaning over me was Toms sweet face. Although he wore a worried frown.

Like the big drunk baby I was, my eyes welled up with tears. He quickly brushed one from the side of my face.

"You scared the shit out of me" He said with his voice shaking.

"Here, take this" someone said from behind Tom as a small hand towel came into frame.

Harrison stood behind Tom looking worried as well. I tried to crack a smile to let him know I was alright. Next to Harrison was poor Stacey who looked like she had seen a ghost.

"I'm alright" I said to them. Stacey gave me a small smile.

"This might hurt a bit" Tom said as he raised the towel to my head and pressed against the cut. I winced at the sting of pain but it subsided and in its wake was a throbbing ache.

"I need to sit up" I said looking up at Tom. He shifted his arm that was behind my head so it was supporting my shoulders and I grabbed his other arm slowly moving myself more upright

The room starting spinning with the movement as I clutched at Toms arm taking slow deep breaths.

He looked at me with such worry on his face that I wanted to hold him and tell him everything would be okay.

"Are you okay to sit on the couch" He asked me.

"I don't want to get blood anywhere" I said holding the towel to my head.

"Don't worry, I want you to be comfortable" Tom said lifting me off the ground with ease, bridal style.

He sat me down in the corner of the couch and I could see the dried blood in my hair.

"Ugh I feel disgusting" I said trying to looking at my outfit that was now stained with bright red patches of whatever drink Ellie threw at me.

I looked up to see some familiar faces around me.
