---Chapter 19---

I wake the next morning with the sudden urge to vomit. Scrambling through twisted sheets attempting to release myself from their stifling grip as I tumble toward the bathroom. Wearing only a t-shirt that I can’t recall changing into, I lunge over the toilet and purge what feels like everything from my stomach. My eyes watering, my throat burning with acidic stomach bile and rotten alcohol as my body continues to heave with such force that my stomach muscles ache.

Tyler yells from the bed, “Shit, could you close the door? My hangover is unreal and the sound of you vomiting is making it worse.”

“Thanks, Ty. Your kindness and sympathy knows no bounds,” I mutter as I crawl over to the door and push the bottom corner until the door slams closed. Pressing my cheek to the cool tile floor, I close my eyes and try not to focus on the fact that I am lying on the floor of a hotel bathroom that after watching too many Datelines, I know full well is swimming with infestation and germs. Just that thought in my brain for a second makes my stomach lurch and I hug the toilet once again. I pull a towel from the rack and rest my head on it telling myself to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. I repeat this in my head over and over as my eyes grow heavy.

Shuffling out of the bathroom a few hours later I join a snoring and completely dead to the world Tyler in bed. I grab my phone off the nightstand and text my sisters. The light from the screen fills my head with blinding pain that makes my eyes water and forces my gag reflex to the forefront once again. Please make it stop. I swear I will never drink again. Okay, I am lying, but I’ll at least hold off for a few weeks. I don’t know whom I’m begging, but whoever it is, I didn’t care; I just need it to stop. I text my sisters to let them know I’m not going to make it to breakfast due to my epic hangover. That’s putting in mildly. The last time I remember being this drunk had to be at least before 1999, but in my state I’m unable to actually recall anything being worse than this. When I don’t hear from either of them after a few minutes my head hits the pillow and I’m out.

Several hours later I wake with a headache and the taste of vomit still lingering in my mouth. Tyler stirs next to me and judging by the look on his face he is feeling strikingly similar to me.

“I’m so glad we are staying an extra night,” I say. “I don’t think I could even think about getting in the car right now.”

“Seriously. I’m glad we took your car. You and all that barf would completely ruin the interior in my car. Plus you really smell disgusting.”

His response sends a shock of annoyance through my aching body.
