Along for the ride

Chapter 14

The next day I woke up with a pounding head ache.

I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath.

This is what happens when you turn up harder then usual. Last night was such a blur.

I sat up in bed and ran my fingers through my messy hair. I looked around my empty room.

How did I get home last night?

I'm pretty sure Rhyan had a hard time getting all of us inside. We all seemed really fucked up.

I let out another groan.

The last thing I needed to do was think about anything.

I let out a long sigh, laying in the comfort of my bed for a few more moments before venturing out. I slowly made my way downstairs, walking into the kitchen.

I fished through the kitchen cabinet taking a Tylenol. I washed it down with my favorite drink; apple juice.

Refreshing.

I found myself on my couch wrapped in my favorite blanket for what felt like hours. I'd doze off here and there while watching reruns of Spongebob.

I heard two small knocks at the door.

Ugh.

"Come in!" I croaked, sitting in an upward position.

"Good morning!" Sophia chirped, with a smile.

"Shhh!" I ordered, laying on my back.

"Hangover?"

I responded by throwing a pillow at her which successfully hit her in the face.

"Rude!" She shouted with a laugh.

I sunk into the remaining pillows, wishing my headache would dissappear.

"Aren't you a tad bit curious about last night?" She asked, taking a seat next to me.

"Not even a tiny bit." I mumbled, through the pillows.

She chuckled, "It was quite a night! It's still a big blur though."

"How are you so happy and cheerful?"
She shrugged, "I never drink on an empty stomach."

I dozed off and woke up to the smell of fresh strawberries and other fruits.

I sat up a bit, running my fingers through my tangled hair. I felt a bit better. The headache wasn't as strong as before.

I dragged myself in the kitchen to find two bowls of strawberries on the counter and Sopia digging through the fridge.

"Do you have any whipped cream?" She asked, poking her head out.

"It should be behind the milk." I said, grabbing my bowl of fruit.

"Ah, found it!"

She took it over to the counter and began putting whipped cream her fruit.

"Hand it here."

I put some whipped cream on my strawberry and took a big bite.

We finished our bowl of colorful fruits while laughing and gossiping. I took our bowls and began washing them.

"Thanks for the fruit, Soph. It really hit the spot."

"Sure thing, love."

My phone blarred from the living room.

"I'll get it!" Sophia cried, running into the living room.

I dried off the last bowl, as Sophia walked in with my phone pressed against her ear.
