Into You (COMPLETE)

Chapter 17

CHAPTER 17:

Emma's POV:

Everybody starts hooting except me as I am a lightweight and if I drink too much, I'll have a bad hangover the next day.
"Do we really have to?" I tell everyone.

"Yes, Emma. We are on a vacation. Enjoy a little!" Sean tells me and gives me his puppy dog eyes. He looks so cute that I can not deny him.

"Alright! But I'll need somebody to help me get to bed" I tell them but nobody is paying attention.

So, basically for this game, everyone sits in a circle with a deck if cards in the middle, and take turns flipping over. End goal being that someone has to end up drunk. I am so sure it's going to me.

For example, 'two' means you. So if I flip over a 2, I can choose someone who has to drink. 'Three' means me. So whoever flips a 3 has to drink. 'Seven' means heaven, so the last person to raise their hand drinks. And so on, until we finish the deck, shuffle and repeat.

It was compulsory to sit a girl and a boy, Isaac's rules. I am situated between Jeremy and Carter. Beside Jeremy is Veronica, then Isaac, then Bella then Sean then Jules. The deck of cards is in the centre. Everybody has their own cup filled with whiskey. There are several other bottles in the fridge too.

We spin a bottle to start. The bottle lands on Isaac and he pulls a three. He drinks and the game continues.

Five full decks and several whiskey bottles later, I am pretty stoked. I am swaying side to side, my vison is blurry and I am pretty sure I am not talking right.

That's when we decide to call it a night. I wait for everyone to leave so I can take my own time getting upstairs. I am half asleep when I call out to make sure nobody is there.

"Oops!" I say and giggle after that. Being drunk and getting upstairs was a really big task. But I somehow manage to get there. Now all I have to do is find my room in this hazy state.

I walk straight and come across a room, I try seeing who is there and I see two people so I go to the next room. The other room, I suppose has 2 people too.  When I stumble upon the third room, I see nobody on the bed so I go straight to the bed and try falling asleep. The keyword being 'try'. I toss and turn on the bed as it feels uncomfortable.

After a few minutes of tossing and turning, I feel somebody taking off my shoes and it feels much better after that. I fall asleep within seconds.

I feel somebody shaking me.

"Shh.. I
right here. Nothing will happen to you" the person says and I wake up with a jolt. I am all sweaty and my hair is stuck to my face.
"What's happening?" I ask the person and take a look at him. When I see Jeremy, I am a little shocked but I can't say anything.

"I think you were having a bad dream" he says to me while rubbing my back soothingly. I start counting in my mind and I start feeling calm.

"Thank you" I say after a minute of counting, meaning it. He looks at me with a gentle smile.

"Can you give me some water?" I ask him. He nods and goes to the table nearby and gets me a glass of water. I feel much better now.
