A sharp sting on her cheek jerked Carmela awake, and a throbbing pain pounded in her skull as she fluttered her eyes open. It was bright, too bright, and it took her a few moments to regain her vision. God, her hurting brain was beating out of her mind, pounding like crazy. She slowly sat up from what she assumed was her bed, and rubbed her eyes. Memories of the wild night came flooding back and Carmela groaned as she realized what she had done. Fucking Hosi? What was she thinking? Oh, right. She wasn't.

Her eyes flew open, and her vision cleared as she remembered the jerk she had also reunited with. That bastard Taehyung made her want to rip her hair out, as she recalled his weirdass attitude. How on earth did she stay quiet? Why didn't she fuck him up when he talked like she was a criminal? Was she just drunk, or had her dad shocked the words out of her?

Her dad. She had almost forgotten what had happened, but before the depressed shivers could return and add to her headache, she quickly shut them out and reminded herself of the pain that the man had spilled on her and her mom. The pain that she almost drowned in last year. The pain that had left scars on her legs and wounds in her heart. The pain that was given to her by none other but her dad.

Carmela lifted her head from her hands and looked around her messy, dark coloured room. She jumped slightly as she saw Jules in her gold dress, slumped and snoozing in the fuzzy armchair of the desk and climbed out of bed.

"Jules? Hey!" She softly poked Jules' cheek and her friend's head rolled awake. She stared wide eyed at Carmela before suddenly standing from the chair and walked towards the door. Carmela frowned. What was up with her? She quickly followed Jules' out the door of her stuffy room, and called after her.

"Hey! What's going on? Are you okay, did something happen?" Carmela tried to recall out of her hurting head something that she had done, but could only remember the "sex with best friend's step-brother shit" and had already apologised for that and made up. Jules never acted like this before, all silent and ignoring her. Carmela didn't even think Jules knew what fucking "silent treatment" was!

She reached out and stopped Jules, placing a firm hand on her shoulder.

"Dude, what the fuck? Are you still mad at me because of last night? Honestly Jules, it meant nothing! And even if it did, why is it such a big deal? I never expected you to react like this."

Jules turned around, with a small smile on her face. She held Carmela's hand before saying, "I know Carmela. Girl, I ain't mad! My mom called me last night and told me to get home asap 'cause she needed help with Hosi's drunk ass. I might've slept here by accident..." She grinned as Carmela breathed a sigh a relief. She was relieved and knew that there would be an explanation. Heather would probably get more mad if Jules didn't leave right away, so it made sense... sort of? But she brushed off her confusion and grinned back at her friend.

"Why would I be mad about you and Hosi hooking up? I mean, that ain't my business, girl, and I sure as fuck don't want it to be! Now I gotta leave before mom freaks." Jules smiled again, and turned to the front door, pulling on her white Nike sneakers. Carmela crossed her arms and couldn't help but feel uneasy. At Jules yes, but also the fact that she had just fucked Hosi. Ew, it sounded unbelievable in her head and she shuddered, wondering how she was gonna face his cocky attitude. She added one more mistake to the list of things she did because of her dad, and frowned as she realized she thought of him again.
