four- good morning

All she talked about was herself, she was supposed to get her hair done but her hairdresser cancelled all appointments for no reason. Her nails are done by a girl a few cities over and she is nowhere near as good as the 'little foreigner' who use to do them before she moved back to- and I quote 'whatever poor country she came from' I was ready to yell at her when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Was cece really coming to my rescue?

"Hey." Nope. "We need to talk." She said.

"I'll be back." I smiled at Jess and she nodded but kept talking to no one in particular. "What?" I asked when we got away from her.

"You needed saving."

"If that racist little skank kept talking I-"

"I know, a lot of people feel that way about her."

"You know her?" I asked.

"I know of her." She shrugged. I glanced around the room and saw Jess had her chest popped out to a girl who was leaning down talking to her. Thank fuck. I looked around again and saw Cece kissing a girl I had never seen before.

"Who's that?" E asked.

"No idea." I shrugged. "I need another drink," I said suddenly feeling the full effects of the alcohol mixed with the body heat, red lights and loud music.

"Are you sure? You look... spent."

"I'm fine mom." I rolled my eyes surprising myself with the attitude.

"I'll go get you a drink." She said and she disappeared towards the kitchen. I kept looking around at the faces and within what felt like seconds E was back. "Here you go, love." She passed it to me and I quickly took a mouthful.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome." She looked around and let out a long breath. "Do you smoke?" She asked.

"No." I said and she made her way to the backdoor, I followed.

"Thought you didn't smoke." She said putting a cigarette between her lips.

"I just needed air."

"Why do cece want you to hook up with someone so bad?"

"Because you aren't happy unless you're having sex. At least that's what she thinks."

"She's never been in a healthy relationship has she?" I shook my head no. We both turned and looked in the window to see Cece tugging a girl towards her room.

"I-"

"Yeah, go deal with that."

"Yep." I nodded.

By the time one AM came I was dropping and there were only three people left besides me and Cece. I was trying to hint around for them to leave but it was like talking to a wall- a very drunk wall.

"I have a Uber on the way." E said and I quickly turned toward her, I thought she left a while ago.

"But it's is only earlyyyyy." One of the girls moaned.

"We need to do this again, when the party poppers aren't here." Another said. "I'm talking about you too."

"I know." Both me and E said at the same time. Once everyone was gone I put Cece in the spear bed and I went into my room scuffing my feel, I was dropping. I fell in bed and tugged off my dress pulling the covers up over me tightly. As I drifted to sleep I had the sensation of falling and I jumped up. I looked around the room and noticed something on the floor, I was going to leave it alone but my bladder was nagging me as well. I got up going to the bathroom and in front of my door, I squinted to steady the blurred twisting room and saw a piece of a cigarette pack on the floor. I picked it up and it had a number on it '744-9782' I laid it down on the foot of my bed and I went to the bathroom.

I woke to the sun in my eyes, I squinted into the light and rolled over. Last night... ugh. I heard a noise coming from outside my door and I sighed not ready to start the day. "Lover girl, get out here." I groaned as I threw my blankets off me and pulled on my robe.

"What?" I said going into the kitchen welcoming the smell of coffee that entered my nose bringing back the memory of the dream I was in the middle of. I was out having coffee with-

"Good morning." I turned towards the living room to see E smiling holding a tray with two cups in.

"Oh, good morning." Oh god, I look like shit...
