The New Girl in Town

Carry That Weight

I woke up the next day in my bed with a terrible headache.

God, what happened last night?

I slowly got out of bed. I instantly frowned. Right.. Dan is in jail.

I'm all alone. 

There was a note on my nightstand.

Hey, you drank a little too much last night. Don't worry, nobody went to bed with ye. People tried to, but I got ye just in time. Be careful next time, love.

Love,

Geo ♥

I smiled, that was really sweet of George to look out for me.

I got out of bed, I looked at the clock. It's 10 AM... Damn, I surely slept in. I bet Patrick is wondering what the hell happened last night.

I sighed. This heart ache is taking over me.

I walked out of my bedroom. I look in front of me four men sitting around my home.

That's right... I gave them a key to come in anytime.

"Hey guys.." I slowly said.

"Hey Lily" The boys said in unison.

"Thanks for looking out for me last night, George. It means a lot" I said softly. I was a little embarrassed for getting so drunk last night.

"Of course! Anytime Lily. You've been having a hard time with-Well, it's what friends do for each other." He smiled.

I smiled back.

"How'd you sleep?" Paul asked

I shrugged. "Alright, apart from falling asleep drunk and waking up with a massive headache." He laughed.

I sat down on the couch next to John.

"How are you hanging in there?" He quietly asked me, while the others were chatting away.

I sighed, "I just wish the pain would go away" I answered honestly.

John sighed. He then mumbled, "I wish I could take your pain away,"

"What?" I asked, as if I didn't hear what he said though I did.

"Nothing," He replied quickly.

~~~~

Hours went by, the boys and I basically spent that time chatting. I tried to act as happy as I could. Once they left, it was just me by myself.

Dan went to jail for murder, thank goodness. And Amy went to heaven for God.

I looked at the clock. 7 PM. I sighed.

I just need to feel numb again, like last night. I don't want to feel pain.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of vodka.

I looked for a glass. Forget a glass. I don't need one.

I began to drink my pain away.

~~~~~

I woke up in bed again.

The hell?

I could've sworn I was drinking in the kitchen a minute ago.

Another note was on my nightstand.

A little thirsty were we?

You're welcome..
