CHAPTER TWELVE // A CHANCE
"LIKE THE LIGHTS ARE GONNA SHUT
DOWN AND SPRAY US WITH A CHEMICAL
OR SOME SHIT."

When Jade woke up that morning, she had an unimaginable headache. She nuzzled her head into the warmth of her pillow, wanting nothing more than to fall back asleep. It was only when her pillow moved on it's own did she notice the arm wrapped around her waist and the way her 'pillow' moved up and down as it breathed.

Cracking open her eyes, she gave herself a minute to adjust to the light coming from the lamp. Looking up, she saw Glenn's face close to her own, eyes shut as he slept. Her eyes widened as she surveyed the situation, she was practically laying on top of him with his arms around her torso.

"Holy shit." She thought. Jade slowly moved Glenn's arm, careful to move slowly and carefully not to wake him up. She stood up, with help from the couch behind them due to her hangover.

She ran a hand over her hair, exiting the room, softly closing the door to not make any loud or sudden noises. As she walked down the hallway she could hear talking from the cafeteria, Lori, Carl, Nick, and Theodora were all sitting at the table watching as T-Dog cooked a few feet away.

"Good morning." T-Dog spoke happily from behind the counter.

"Mhmm." Jade replied, rubbing her eyes as she shuffled her way to the table, sitting down beside her niece. She rested her forehead in her hands as she smiled over to everyone sitting at the table.

Spotting medicine on the table, Jade immediately grabbed it, looking over to Lori who nodded with a smile. "Courtesy of Jenner."

"Thank God." The Horvath whispered out before taking two of the pills. A loud thump sounded from the hallway with a short groan following it. Glenn then appeared at the doorway, rubbing his head as she stalked his way to the table.

He plopped down in the seat next to Jade, leaning his head onto the table beside the plate. Jade laughed as she patted his back, taking out another two of the pills before placing it beside the boy. Glenn groaned as he picked his head up, taking the two pills as T-Dog laughed from behind the counter.

"I think we all see who has the worst hangover." Nick commented with a chuckle as he took a bite of his bacon. Both Carl and Theodora laughed at the man's statement, each smiling at the Korean who continued groaning as he leaned his head on Jade's shoulder. Not long after Rick entered the room, followed by the rest of the group.

"Hey, Jade?" Glenn groaned out as he chewed his eggs and the rest of the group talked about the medicine that had been gifted to the group.

"Hmm?"

"Don't ever ever ever let me drink again." Glenn finished as he rubbed his forehead.

"All right, Glenn. Poor little baby." The Horvath girl teased as she rubbed Glenn's back, not noticing the sly smile T-Dog sent Lori as he looked over at the pair.

"Woah, what the hell happened to you?" Jade questioned, noticing the scratch marks on the side of Shane's face and neck once he had sat down.

"I must have done it in my sleep." Shane replied, looking over at the brunette.

"Never seen you do that before." Rick commented.

"Me neither." The Walsh agreed. "Not like me at all."

"Morning." Jenner spoke, drawing attention away from Shane.

"Doctor, I don't mean to slam yo with questions first thing-" Dale started.
