Hazel’s POV
Abi seats in front of the bag I just packed for her.
“Thank you for packing my stuff.” Abi says as she closes the suitcase.
“So, when was Noah going to be here?” Abi asks me again.
“Around 10 AM I guess.” I reply to her.
“Then he will be here by 9:30, so he can meet Dad for some time.” She replies.
“Yeah, so now you have to just grab the clothes that you want to wear on the drive.” I tell her.
“Yup, I know.” She replies and walks into her closet.
While she is finding herself something to wear, I will just check my phone. I can’t see my mobile on both of the side tables.
I check the bed I find it under the sheets.
There are a lot of texts from my mom and some unknown number.
I reply to my mother, “I will be home by 10.30 AM. I’m at Abi’s place.”
“I know” She replies immediately.
“How do you know?” I ask her.
“I called Liza.” She replies.
“Okay talk to you later.” I reply.
I check the other texts.
“Yesterday night was fun I enjoyed spending time with you! Would like to do that tomorrow evening.”
Wtf what did I do?
I don’t even have this number saved.
I try to remember who I was with yesterday night but I can’t remember.
“Abi! With whom did we spend our time yesterday at the party?” I ask Abi.
I was drunk a lot drunk and Abi was kind of normal yesterday which is kind of rare.
“You were wasted but you came up to me with Jack-ass.” She replies.
“Really!” I reply to her.
I try to remember what really happened last night.
“Why are you asking me that?” She asks me.
I grab her mobile and search the number who texted me.
It’s Jack-ass. f**k what happened dude I really f****d up.
“Hazel, Hazel” She calls me.
Abi’s POV
“Why are you asking me that?” I ask Hazel as I’m putting on a jumpsuit.
She doesn’t even answer.
“Hazel? Hazel?” I call her
“Nothing just asking because I can’t recall anything from last night.” She replies.
“Okay” I reply to her.
After some time when I’m done getting ready, I walk into my room.
“All I can remember is that Jack-ass and someone gave us a ride home. You were passed out and I was wasted.” She replies.
All last night memories just are hitting my head. How I punched Ben, kicked him in HIS crouch and even broke a centre glass table.
“I just remember we were last together at the ping pong table. What happened when I left for a refill?” She asks me.
When Hazel left Ben came close to me and asked me to make Hazel sleep with him, and he would give me 1000 bucks. Whatever dude I never run for the money. Anyway, it was my best friend I care a lot about her.
“You know Ben, right?” I ask Hazel.
“Yeah, I guess he was the guy who was there at the party right?” She asks.
“Yes, that piece of s**t. He put a deal in front of me that if I made you sleep with him, he will pay me 1000 bucks.” I reply.
“What?” She is upset I get it.
“Yeah, I had the same reaction.” I reply and continue.
“What did you just say? I asked him and walked towards him.”
“But nothing will happen like that because I made it clear myself pretty well.” I reply and take a deep breath and continue.
“I just randomly walked close to him and kicked him in the crouch and then punch him in the face. That was not enough for Abi! So, she threw her beer bottle at the centre table which was of glass and I broke it and just walked away.” I explain everything to Hazel.
Hazel knows I have anger issues but some things just trigger me a lot.
“Okay, you need to chill. I will not just agree to that stuff and you know that” She replies with a smile and tries to comfort me.
“I know.” I reply to her.
She knows that I’m just not okay with it.
“But you didn’t meet me after that?” She asks.
“Yeah, I actually left to search you but I found you with Zack in the kitchen and I just didn’t want to ruin it for you.” I reply to her.
“But you should have come Abi!” She replies.
“Nah, I saw the happy Hazel there. I couldn’t ruin that so I just grabbed another bottle of beer and headed out to sit near the pool.” I explain to her.
“Abigail Matthews, you sat alone to be calm?” She speaks with doubt in her voice.
“Yeah, kind of.” I reply.
“But just as I was removing my shoes and putting my feet in the pool someone joined me.” I tell her.
“Who?” She asks me with excitement.
“Cody, he just wanted to talk about something that happened during the bio practicals I guess but he never talked about it.” I reply.
“Then what did you both talk about?” She asks.
*LAST NIGHT *
Cody walked towards me and said “Abigail, do you have a minute?”
And I was like I don’t want any more issues for today and I was upset about the whole thing.
I just replied, “Not today we can talk about it later.”
“Boy, you are really upset.” He replies.
“How did you know?” I ask him.
“You are alone in this huge party.” He explains and while that he removes his shoes and sit next to me.
“Right!” I speak.
“Mind if I join?” He asks.
“You already removed your shoes!” I reply.
“Yeah!” He replies as he puts his feet in the water.
“Are you good?” He asks.
“I just need some time, that piece of s**t Ben just crossed his limits and I just couldn’t take it anymore.” I try to explain.
“Yeah, I get it. By the way, the shot was great!” He replies.
And I genuinely smile at that.
“Where is Hazel?” He asks me.
“I saw her in the kitchen with her crush and I just didn’t want to ruin her perfect moment.” I reply to him.
*PRESENT*
“After that everything is just a blur in my head. Someone was carrying me that’s all I know.” I tell Hazel.
“I remember what happened.” Hazel replies.
“What?” I ask her.
“You passed out.” She replies.
She continues, “You didn’t just pass out, you passed out on Cody’s lap.”
