"Dude it's 7am, how are you already drunk?" Caroline asked me as I downed a bottle of Jack.
"Huh? I'm not drunk!" I said before walking into a nearby wall.
Max grabbed the bottle that I drank, which I finished the whole thing.
"El, you have a problem." She said as she helped me up and guided me to the couch.
"I'm not drunk I'm Samantha." I said before giggling.
"You're names not Samantha." Caroline said.
"Yes it is!" I argued.
"No, babe, your name is Elizabeth Quinn Jackson, Quinn or El is what people call you." Max said.
"You have a drinking problem." Caroline said.
"No! You have a lot of problems!" I argued.
I laid across Max like a starfish.
"Caroline go ahead and go to work, I'll handle her." She said to Caroline.
"You sure? I can help." Caroline said.
"Go, I'm the only one who can handle her when she's drunk. I'm her favorite person when she's absolutely wasted." She said.
"That's true." I Said face down in Max's lap but I don't think they heard me.
Caroline left.
"Alright El, why are you morning drunk?" Max asked.
"Because Alcohol tastes good." I said.
She scoffed.
"What's the real reason. You never do it unless your depressed." She said.
She knows me too well.
"It's my father. He tried contacting me." I said.
"Like your step dad?" She asked.
"No, my real dad. He's trying to come back into my life, 25 years later." I said. She sighed and rubbed my back.
"You can't drink away your problems." She said.
I groaned.
"Yes I can, watch me mommy." I said before grabbing a shot glass full of fireball and downing it like it's nothing.
She cleaned up my alcohol mess and grabbed my hand.
"No more, I'm taking alcohol away from you for a month." She said.
She then picked me up and carried me to bed.
"If you're gonna take me to bed at least buy me dinner first." I said.
She laughed
*7 hours later*
I groan as I woke up. I look around to see a giant water bottle full of lemon water and two Ibuprofen pills along with a pack of crackers with a note taped to them.
Take care of yourself or I will kill you myself
Love, Max
"Well that's charming." I said.
I sat up and ate the crackers as I watched Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Then Caroline called me.
"Hey girl." I said.
"Hey, are you sober enough to come by the diner? It's a packed house." She said.
"Yeah, just give me another two hours to get over this hangover. Then I'll be there." I said.
"No, she needs to stay home, she is still too drunk to function with this many people." Max said.
"No, Max I'm fine." I said.
"No, you're not. Stay home please." She said.
"Okay fine." I said.
"Quinn, you don't have to listen to Max, you are a grown woman you can do what you want." Caroline said.
"And I want to listen to Max, also she has threatened to kill me more than once so she scares me." I said.
