When Jenessa opened her eyes, she glanced around and realized she was on the bed in their hotel room. Instead of Mikayla being in her bed, she was curled up next to her. She couldn’t remember anything after she got into the car. However, someone—certainly her sister—had removed her dress. Currently, she was wearing one of her favorite nightgowns.

As she began to move cautiously, worrying how bad she would feel, her mouth tasted like nasty sandpaper and her head throbbed. Overall, she was not as horrific as she would have figured. Making her way to the bathroom, Mikayla had written a message on the mirror.

“Water in the fridge and aspirin on top of the table.”

After she finished in there, she went to get the water and aspirin. Now, Mikayla sat up in the bed.

“How are you feeling?”

“Not as bad as I thought.” Jenessa popped the pills in her mouth and cracked open the cold water.

“We’re going to be leaving this afternoon,” she informed her.

“Why? Do you need to go back?” Jenessa climbed back into the bed.

“No, and since you asked, I’m figuring you don’t remember our talk last night,” she said.

“The last thing I remember is getting into the car and leaving the club.”

“Glad I recorded it then.” She reached for her phone and tapped the screen. She turned it around to show Jenessa.

Taking a second for her to focus, it was her on the screen. She had a plate full of nachos on her lap as she sat on the floor of the room.

“I love Shade,” Jenessa said before shoving nachos in her mouth. “When I get home, I’m going to tell him how sorry I am. And, and, and, then tell him I was a bitch. A big bitch. But I won’t do it anymore. I won’t be anymore if he comes home with me.”

“What else are you going to tell him?” Mikayla asked out of frame.

Jenessa couldn’t answer because she burst into tears. Then the camera moved as Mikayla came over to her and sat down. Jenessa had been saying something, but it was drunken mumbles, and she couldn’t figure out she said.

“I want to go home.” Finally, she spoke clearly enough to be understood. “I want to see Shade tomorrow.” In a very, as her mother would say, unladylike manner, she wiped her nose with the back of her hand.

“We’ll go home tomorrow,” Mikayla said and the video ended with Jenessa crying on her shoulder.

Handing the phone back to her, she still couldn’t remember that particular part, but it obviously happened.

“Do you love Shade?” Mikayla asked.

“Yes,” Jenessa answered without even thinking. There had been no reason for her to hide it.

“Do you want him back?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to go home?”

“Yes.”

The heaviness she continually felt on her chest seemed to be lifting. Slightly.

“Let’s go home.” Mikayla moved off the bed, and she followed.

Right now, she had only one thing on her mind. Getting back to Shade.
