After lots of food, drinks both alcoholic and not, movies, and laughs we finally called it a night at 4 in the morning.  Giggling we fixed ourselves to sleep the best we could and Victoria stumbled in with pillows and blankets for all of us since we are all crashing on the floor.  I grabbed my phone and started recording everyone laughing and trying to fix beds while drunk and me laughing in the background.  I stopped the video when everyone was on the ground ready to sleep.  "Wow Luna knocked out fast,"  Jonathan pointed out while holding Victoria.  "Yeah I am too real quick,"  I say while laying down halfway onto Tony.  We set up our spot right next to Luna and Delilah who were above us and Jonathan and Victoria to the right of us.  Drunken mumbles of goodnight were said and everyone knocked out.  The next morning we all woke up with bad hangovers.  "Ugh why did we drink so much last night,"  Jonathan said while getting up to go to the bathroom.  Knowing the morning sickness feeling I ran to my room and the bathroom to throw up everything from last night.  After I emptied my stomach I cleaned myself up and went into the livingroom to take an advil for my headache.  "Hey I left the advil on the counter in the kitchen if anyone wants some," I yelled out while getting a water bottle out of the fridge.  I was quickly hushed and yelled at for being too loud.  I stayed in the kitchen and sat on the counter leaning against the cabinet while I drank my water.  The next person to come into the kitchen was Tony who also grabbed a water and took some advil.  When he took two he walked over to me standing between my legs and loosely held my waist while putting his face in my chest groaning.  With one hand I held my water that I would occasionally drink from and the other to run through his hair.  Soon Jonathan walked in with everyone else and squinted from some sunlight coming through the small kitchen window, "Keep it pg you guys."  I scoffed and rolled my eyes not moving.  Delilah sat down next to me and I slightly moved so my head was resting on her shoulder. 

20 minutes go by of us talking about last night and how much it was needed for us which I couldn't agree more.  I love these guys I have no doubt about it that without them I wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am now.  "Alright anyone want IHOP?"  Jonathan said and everyone agreed getting out of the kitchen to get ready.  I sat back down on the couch when I was done and noticed Delilah walking over to sit down as well.  She put an arm around my shoulder and I asked, "So how are you guys?"  Immediately Delilah smiled and started gushing about how it is at home and ever since I made them meet at the frozen yogurt place.  "I never did thank you for making us meet there.  Even if it was because you thought it was going to be the last time we saw you.  So thank you Faith for bringing the love of my life back."  I smiled and she pulled me into a tight hug that I gladly reciprocated.  "Ready to go guys?"  Victoria asked from the door with everyone else.  We both nodded and got up to join them.  We got one of the circle booths since there were six of us.  Everyone ordered their breakfast plates and started messing around attracting a couple people's attention which we ignored.  Our laughter died down when our food came and talked every once in a while.  "You guys ready for college?  We have about 4 weeks until it starts."  Everyone shook their heads which made me laugh.  Luna said, "We won't see each other that much because of the homework and jobs some of us applied for."  We all nodded and I started thinking of a way to prevent that.  "How about we all hangout every Friday night?"  I put my hand in the middle and everyone piled on agreeing, "No matter what, every Friday we all hang out and catch up on the rest of the week and continue to make memories."  "Agreed," everyone said at once and took their hands back.

We all went our separate ways going back home so it was Victoria and I watching T.V.  She was laying down on her back while I laid on top of her with my head on her chest.  I started drawing random patterns on her collar bone which was making her sleepy.  Victoria moved her arms so they were on my back and took a deep breath.  Once Victoria was asleep I reached for the remote on the coffee table and changed the channel to a random horror movie that was playing.  A couple hours later my stomach started to growl and I looked up at Victoria to see if she was still asleep.  She was, I carefully moved her arms and got off her to go and make us something to eat.  What should I even make?  Or should I just call in?  I'll call in some pizza.  I grab my phone and call dominos and order a medium pepperoni pizza.  They said they would come in 20 minutes so I figured I would get plates out and drinks.  Once everything was set up at the table the doorbell rang making Victoria groan.  I chuckled and grabbed some money from my wallet and opened the door.  The delivery boy looked shocked when I opened the door and started checking me out.  I fought the urge to roll my eyes and said, "How much?"  He didn't say anything for a couple of seconds until I cleared my throat.  "Oh uh $15.04."  I started counting the money and the guy speaks up, "So what's a girl like you needing such a big pizza with a body like yours by yourself?  I can join you if you want."  He smirked and I finished counting raising a eyebrow at him.  Before I could say anything I felt hands wrap around my waist and flat hands against my stomach with a head on my left shoulder.  "Who said she was alone?"  The guy eyes widened and he gave me the pizza and took the money without a word.  Victoria let go when I backed up to close the door and we both looked at each other before we started laughing.  "Thanks for the save Vic."  I chuckled putting down the pizza and sat down.  She laughed once more and side hugged me, "I will be your fake lover any day."  We both laughed again and got out slices out to get ready to eat.

By the time we finished eating it was already 8pm.  "Oh I have a fight tomorrow night just so you know."  Victoria nodded and said, "I am going to miss out on this one."  I didn't question her because I knew her not going to every fight was normal.  I didn't respond but nodded in acknowledgement.  "Alright I am going to call it a night.  Good night Faith."  I started to wash the dishes and called over my shoulder, "Night Vic."  After I finished I walked to my room and changed into my pjs and laid on my bed with the light off and my phone.  I scrolled through Instagram until I felt tired which didn't happen for another hour.  "NO!"  I shot up in bed from surprise.  Did I dream that?  "STOP!  FAITH!"  Victoria.  I throw my blankets off and run to Victoria's room and see she's thrashing on the bed.  Turning on her small lamp next to her bed I saw her eyes were shut tightly and her hands were holding her sheets so tightly her knuckles were white.  "STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME!  FAITH HELP!"  Victoria yelled out which made me jump onto the bed.  How do I do this without panicking her?  To prevent her from hurting herself I sat on her waist and tried to pin her arms at her sides which made her thrash more.  "NO STOP!"  She ripped her right arm out and nailed me on the cheek.  Wow she's got a good right hook.  That's going to bruise.  "Vic! Victoria!  Wake up it's not real."  I try saying to her calmly after I pinned her arm again.  This isn't going to work she's too far in.  I let go of her arms and cupped her face, "VICTORIA!"  Her eyes shot open and sat up just missing for us to headbutt but making me straddle her.  She was sweating and breathing heavily.  In a small voice she looked at me and said, "Faith?"  I nodded and she threw her arms around my neck and pulled me into her and started sobbing.  I wrapped my arms around her waist and rubbed her back to try and soothe her, "It's okay Vic I am here I got you."  I whispered comforting words into her ear while I slowly rocked us.  Victoria cried herself to sleep so I slowly laid us down and decided to flip our positions so I was laying on my back with her on top of me.  I held onto her tightly and let myself sleep.
