“Oh, man, I don’t feel so well,” Jenna mumbles as we pull back up to their apartment.

“C’mon, babe, you just need to sleep it off,” Josh says as he staggers out of the car. He turns around and helps Jenna out of the car since she had issues getting in the car back at the party. When he has a firm grip on her, they start to head up the stairs. Holly’s standing at the front of my car and I feel like an overprotective father trying to keep an eye on all of his kids at once.

When it looks like Jenna and Josh are doing okay, I turn my focus to Holly. “Hey, you feeling okay?”

She looks up at me with glossy eyes. “Yeah, I’m good. I just need my bed.”

“Come on, let’s go.” I grab her around the waist and she wraps both arms around my stomach, resting her head on my chest; clearly using me as a crutch to stand up straight.

I’m not sure how many drinks she had exactly, but she is definitely going to wake up in the morning regretting every last one of them. When we make our way up the stairs and into her apartment, Josh and Jenna are nowhere to be found. I look down the hall to see that the door to Jenna’s room is closed. Great. Holly’s looking more tired with each passing second and, for a moment, I’m scared she’s going to pass out standing up.

When I finally have her in bed, I carefully take off her shoes. Even though I’m sure she probably wants to take off her sweaty costume, too, I don’t dare take it off for her.

“I’ll be right back. I’m going to get you a glass of water. You want to get changed out of your costume?”

She moans and shakes her head. “No, I’m too tired to move.”

A few minutes later, I come back and she’s still lying in the exact spot that I left her. Shaking her gently, I hand her the glass of water, knowing she needs some hydration. She drinks the entire glass and wipes her mouth using the back of her hand before collapsing back down on the bed. I cover her up, turn off the light, and head for the couch.

“Carter,” she mumbles as I reach the door. I turn around and stare into the darkness.

“Yeah?”

There’s a moment of silence until she says, “Will you stay with me?”

My heart tightens and I’m not sure what to do or say to her. Slowly, I make my way back over to the bed. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“I just don’t want to be alone tonight,” she says. Even through the darkness I can see her shift and scoot over to the middle of the bed. Reluctantly, I get into the bed beside her. When she turns into me and lays her head on my chest, I freeze.

It takes her a few seconds to get comfortable. When she does, she reaches up, kisses my neck and my whole body stiffens.
