The Goth girl and the Jock

Morning after

My heads throbbing when I wake up. Probably shouldn't have gotten as wasted as I did. But whatever. I have to detangle myself from a naked Maddy to get up. Half annoyed she's even still in my bed. When I walk into the kitchen I spot Nikki first. She's asleep Bria On top of her, both look like shit but what do you expect after partying all night. I jump when I see Charli out of the corner of my eye. She's cleaning already. But stopped to stare at me for a second.
"Hey." I greet rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"Hey. Sorry I uh started cleaning already." She Says looking kinda nervous and fidgety. Someone else would think that was weird but I knew what was up. Charli is a recovering addict. She likes to clean after parties so she doesn't do something dumb with the leftover drugs when no one is around to stop her.
"Nah, don't worry bout it. Just less for me to clean later." I shrugged and went for the pantry. Wasn't very surprised when it was trashed and emptied of everything worth eating.
"I think Kat's stash is still intact if your hungry." Charli said through a yawn as she tied up her third bad of trash that she'd filled. The thought of raiding Kat's stash of her favorite food makes me cringe. Would she be mad? Probably not. Would she give me sad puppy dog eyes and accidentally make me feel guilty? Probably.
"Nah its fine. I'm gonna shower though. Speaking of Kat, have you seen her?" I asked closing the pantry door and looking at Charli who was now wiping puke of the counter. She looked up at me for a second.
"Eh. I think I heard her say she was going home with that Toni character." I tensed.
"She left the party with Toni?" I said more to myself than to her. With a shrug Charli left the room, probably in search of cleaner or a broom that wasn't wet with puke already.
After I shower I kinda just find myself staring at my bathroom mirror. It's steamed up so all that's visible is my tall figure. I know I'm not her mom. But Kat's never left the party with someone before, she's always had better sense than that. And her ex prison wife? Weren't those things usually not very consensual? Kat never talked to me about it. Nikki has poked and prodded her for all the little details of her juvie experience after she had been transferred away from me. To say that that moment when she was escorted into a bus to who knows where was in the top 3 worst moments of my life would be the truth. We'd spent two months together. Not cell mates but we had rooms right next to each other. I remember when we first met.....

Flashback
I had gotten my food already and sat down at the nearest table. Just a couple kids but one caught my eye. Probably because of how utterly terrified she looked. Staring at her food she was playing with it like a little kid. When she looked up and saw me watching she looked like somebody had just threatened to murder her.
"What? Petrified by this handsome face baby?" I said with a small smile and a wink. Scared went to annoyed very fast.
"Who says your handsome?" She said raising an eyebrow jutting her chin out in defiance like a little girl. I took a bite of the mush on my plate. Half sure it was mash potatoes. And looked at her funny.
"Babygirl do I look pretty to you?" I scoffed. In half a second this short plump little girl was up and walking away. It took me a couple seconds to decide I was gonna make it my life's mission to annoy and fluster the living sh!t out of this girl. I hopped off my chair and swiped up my tray with me.
"Baby, walking away won't help our lovers quarrel. We need to sit down and talk things through like reasonable adults." I drawled. Obviously last nights hooch had not worn off fully yet. When she sat down I sat down next to her.
"Don't call me pet names it's weird." She said and looked anywhere but at me while taking a gulp of milk from a tiny kids lunch carton.
I laughed.
"Why? Would you rather me call you them in other situations." Ok that's to far Haley now your just acting weird.
"Do you usually make your first impression by, stating how attractive you are, calling the person multiple pet names and than hinting at sex? Cause if so you aren't going to make it very far in life baby."
"Its worked for me so far." I shrugged and picked up the small apple on my plate and took a giant bite from it.

End of flashback

When I got back to the room Maddy was still splayed across my bed butt naked. Like the gentleman I am I covered her with a sheet and closed the door behind me after getting changed.
I checked my messages and found several missed calls from none other than Kat herself.
The fact that she had bother to try me four times of course strikes a slight panic in me. I call her. After a couple rings someone picks up.
"Hey." Kat's soft voices answers sounding tired.
"Hey, are you okay? Why'd you call me like four times." I ask not even trying to hide the worry in my voice.
"Um, actually no I'm not that okay. Uh do you think you could pick me up from two peaks park?" She sounds jumpy now.
"Yeah of course. What they hell are you doing in two peaks Kat??" I asked, the fact that she said she wasn't okay making my heartbeat faster. Two peaks is crack head central, you didn't go there unless you were making a deal or just plain stupid. It takes a second for her to answer meanwhile I've already grabbed my keys.
"I- I would rather just talk in person." She says her words wobbly like she's about to cry.
"Okay, it's okay baby just no cryin tell I get there okay?" I said, Kat's probably the only person who'll ever hear me talk that softly. There's a pause and a little sniffle.
"Ok sounds like a plan.... thanks Haley." And than the line disconnects.
