Ch 15

Who Is The Connection?

Erin brings popcorn and crackers, and I bring my problems.

Whoever claimed alcohol isn’t a solution to problems is clearly unaware of its unmatched ability to loosen any sort of inhibition. It takes one glass for me to recount the stealing in the bathroom, another glass to give the juicy details about Fran’s accusations and Max siding with her. By the third glass, I lay it all out about what happened with Max after Fran left, no detail too embarrassing to mention.

At least, I stop drinking after the third glass, or I’d have waltzed through my afternoon with Austin and our heavy make-out session with me in his lap. I slur most of my confessions and can’t see Erin’s reactions clearly because of my blurred vision, but I feel light and relaxed when I rest my head on my pillow as if I’d had a long massage session.

My moment of catharsis is short-lived and comes to an end with my sudden urge to puke. I rush out of bed and collapse by the toilet bowl on the bathroom floor. Feeling revolted by the smell all over me, I take a shower and brush my teeth before going back into the room.

Erin is zonked out on the chair, drooling through her open mouth, the wine bottle fully empty on the floor. I grab the first t-shirt and pajama bottoms I can find from the suitcase in the dark and quickly put them on.

On my way to the bed, I hit my toe on the bed’s leg and shout in pain, my noise stirring Erin from her sleep. She looks around with blank eyes, disoriented. “Where am I?”

“In my hotel room. We passed out.”

She stiffens when her eyes land on me. “What happened to you?”

I look down at my pajama-clad body to see if I have anything strange on me that would cause her question. “Nothing. I threw up is all. Come over to the bed,” I suggest, my voice hoarse. “You’ll have back pain if you sleep in the chair.”

She rubs her neck, rolling her head left and right. “More like neck pain.”

She shoots to her feet suddenly, when she checks the time on the digital clock. It’s only eleven thirty, but I feel like I slept the whole night. I pull back the thick curtains to make sure it’s not eleven in the morning. It’s as dark as it gets.

“I should go.” She shuffles through the comforter and the pillows to look for her purse and jacket.

“You can’t drive like this. You can stay. The bed is big enough for both of us.”

“I’ll take an Uber.” As soon as she locates her purse under the chair on which she dozed off, she digs her phone out of her purse, startling when she checks the screen, looking like she missed an important call or two. Who could be calling her at this hour?

“All right, good night!” She stalks out in a hurry while dialing a number on her phone, the door banging loudly as she leaves.
