The sunlight through the window all but burns your eyes out of their sockets. Your head feels about as heavy as a ton of bricks. You roll over onto your side to try and figure out what way is up. You try to get up, but it is no use. You fall back to whatever it is you are laying on and just stay there for a few moments while glimpses of last night play through your mind. You remember coming home in tears, then a pizza kid tried looking up her skirt. Slowly but surely you piece together the basic gist of what happened. Feeling a bit better, you try to get up again.
“?” You call out, hoping she is around. You look around trying to find her, but your head is still spinning too much. Luckily, you spy aspirin on your night stand and pop them. You once again try to make your way into the living room. This time you make it to your feet. A few steps later, you are leaning against a wall.
“ are you here?” You shout. You are getting worried that after you went to bed, she went out.
“!!!” You shout one more time. You notice the door is unlocked and slightly opened. You wobble over to it, open it up and peer down the hall. There is no sign of her. You knock on the door across the hall and your buddy Scott answers.
“Yo, -MAN!!! What’s up?” He asks you. You can tell he’s been smoking a joint recently, so he’ll probably not be much help.
“Have you seen ? We got drunk last night and when I woke up, she was gone.” You tell him.
“Nah dude, ain’t seen your lady friend since yesterday.” He tells you. “Try Alicia’s, she might be there bro!”
“Nah, I don’t think Alicia would like it much if I came knocking on her door looking for . She’d kick my ass for letting her get drunk last night and then accuse me of being the reason her heart’s in the dumps.” You tell him.
“Dude man, she don’t hate you that much! Oh wait, yeah she does.” Scott spaces out a bit. “Hey , what’s goin’ on bro?”
“Nothing Scott, just came over to see how you are doing?” You tell him as you walk back into your apartment.
“?” You shout. You have no idea where she is. You try her cell, but she’s not answering. You are just about to try Alicia’s when comes in the door.
“Hey !!!” She says.
“Where have you been?” You ask as you rub your head. “I’ve been looking for you for an hour! I was worried you went out after I went to bed.”
“You didn’t go to bed. You passed out on the floor; I got you up onto your bed and covered you up. I placed some aspirin on your bed table for you.” She says.
“Yeah. Thank you, but still, where’d you go?” You ask. She’s been dumped before, but she’s not the type to just take off like that.
“Well, if you must know. I ended up not drinking nearly as much as you did. I woke up with a bit of a hangover, but went out and got some breakfast.” She says, but you don’t believe her.
“And you expect me to buy that?” You tell her. “Just because I’m hung over, doesn’t mean I’ve gone stupid .”
Your words catch her off guard, and she knows there’s no use of trying to lie to you. She looks down at the floor, and all of a sudden, you are back to square one. She falls to the floor in tears again. Your hangover doesn’t allow you to catch her this time.
“What did you do?” You ask her in a tender voice.
“I went to Keith’s place. I was going to hop in the sack with him and the bimbo.” She says through her tears.
“Why? Why would you do something like that? He doesn’t care about you . He had you wrapped around his finger, and if you slept with him and that bitch last night, you’ll never be free of his grasp.” You tell her.
“Well, I didn’t. I got my shirt and bra off. When the blond came over and suckled my tits, I looked down at her, and that’s when I realized I knew her. It was…Gia. She’s not in Europe; she’s been fucking Keith for six months. I just lost it, smacked her and got out of there. And before you ask, yes I put my clothes back on. God I’m so stupid. That asshole played us both.” She crashes into you. The force of her weight slamming into knocks you over.
