Never Again

just a waitress

" So how are you feeling ? " Jessica asked him .

He sat on the couch with his head hung down " Ah crap . . . . . I drank way too much last night now I feel like I am paying my dues . I woke up earlier this morning , my mouth was all dry and my head was pounding but I was too weak to get up so I dozed off again . Thank God today is off at college otherwise I would have to think about lame excuses to give to the dean you know my attendance is already lagging behind . "

Jessica gives him a glass of lemonade to make him feel better . He takes a sip . He was still a little dizzy . Fiona might have mixed some drugs into his whisky . He starts to gain back his senses . " Wait a minute Jessica , what are you doing at my house , at this hour ? And my bed . . . . . it is feeling shorter . "

" Sweetie are you still not over your hangover ? " He was not able to able to understand what she meant . But then he realizes that it was not his house " Where am I ? . . . . . . What happened the other night ? "

" Don't you remember anything ? " Jessica didn't wanted him to know what happened between him and Tyler .

" For god sakes Jessica why will I ask you if I remembered anything ? "

" Ok , it is a lot , come I will tell it to you over a coffee . And coffee will also help you with your hangover . I will make you some . "

" Fine , I think some coffee will help . My head is bursting . " Tyler follows Jessica to the kitchen " And since we are discussing last night you can also tell me what you were doing at the club the other night . " Oh no Jessica shot the trick question . He could not tell her that he was there to spy on her . What will it make it look , A pathetic looser !

Jessica brewed some coffee . Tyler was sitting on the dining table with his head hung down still . " Here you go . " Jessica gave him the cup of coffee .

" Feeling better . " She asked him .

" I guess I do , thank you . So tell me what happened the other night . And look at my finger it seems like I punched someone . "

" I found you at the bar , you were with some girl . "

" A girl ! A girl ! . . . .Yes I remember there was some girl what about her . "

" I don't know . You were chatting with her so I left you too alone . When I was returning home I saw you on the streets . You were so drunk you were barely even able to stand . So I thought that I should drive you . "

" You could have dropped me at my house . "

She snugged " In that condition no , you needed someone to keep an eye on you . "

" Did Tyler have a part in any of this ? "

" No . " Her voice stammers " Why will you think that ? "

" I don't know . I just feel like I had a talk with him last night . I remember it vaguely . "

" No , I was with Tyler all the time . I don't think that he met you yesterday . "

" Are you sure ? "

" Of course I am , what is there to be unsure about it ? "

" Ok , thanks for letting me stay here but I think that I should leave now . "

" Are you sure you are fine ? Do you need some more coffee . "

" No , No , I am good . "

Jessica goes to her bedroom . She kept his car keys in the drawer beside her bed . She take them and gives them to Tyler . Tyler droves back . He checked his phone on the way , it was switched off . May be his battery died .

Tyler reaches home . He was not able to find his charger . Where the hell did he keep it ? He throws all the cushions from the sofa it was not there . He didn't left it in the kitchen . He goes to look for it in his bedroom . He looks for it on his desk and his bed but it was no where . " There it is . " it was fallen under his bed .

He picks it up and puts his phone on charge . And then turns on his phone . There was nothing important except a voice mail from Emily . He plays it " Hi Tyler , This is Emily . I have something important to tell you . So call me as soon as you get it . I stopped by earlier but you were not home . Bye ! "

What did Emily wanted to talk about that was so urgent ? Her voice sounded a bit serious . She has a serious voice but it was different that usual . He gave her a call .

Emily was still in the party mood . She was proud of her first achievement and she wanted to celebrate it so she and Rachel decided that today they will have a girl's night at Emily's place ! Her parents were not home so they could have the entire place to themselves .

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They haven't spend a lot of time together lately . They both were involved in the mischiefs of their own life . But tonight was going to be all about fun ! They will watch their favorite movies , dance on their favorite songs . They could try different face masks after all prom was up . And even the cookie dough was ready . They could bake themselves some cookies if they wanted . Emily was very excited .

She was whipping some cream when her phone rang . So she kept it down but accidently she hits it with her hand and spills everything . Oh no what a mess . She thought that she should clean it first or it will leave a stain on the carpet . So she picked up a cloth but her phone was still ringing .

" Who the hell is calling ? If someone is not answering the call why can't people interpret , that someone is busy . " Ok so finally the call went out but wait what ! her phone was ringing again . " Shut up I am busy . . . . . Ok fine I will answer the call first . . . . . Ahhhhhh ! " She slips because of the cream and falls down . " Ouch . . . .ouch . . . .ouch . . . . my foot did I break it . Oh dear Lord . " Her phone was still ringing " Shut up for a minute . Who so ever is calling me is so dead . "

" Ahhhh ! " She stands up and answers the call .
