Another bottle of Jack

I walked back to the hotel from a slummy bar, drink in hand. I occasionally took swigs from the bottle, the dark liquid burning the back of throat on it's way down. The temporary pain of the alcohol was what I needed to take my mind off the searing pain in my heart. I passed a group of guys on my way back that shouted cat calls at me, I shouted obscenities back at them.

“Stupid assholes.” I took another drink and stumbled in the doors of the hotel gripping the bottle of jack I had taken from the bar tightly against my chest. I climbed up the stairs and stopped at the top to lean on the wall for support, both physical and moral, I was definitely not going to remember tonight.

"He's gonna regret this." I mumbled to my self fumbling around in my purse for my key card to the room was staying in when I noticed that the door was open. Shrugging I walked into the room, took another swig from my bottle and promptly passed out on one of the twin beds.

“God damn it Jimmy why did you leave the door open?” I yelled at my best friend.

“I forgot my key card in the bus and didn't feel like getting it, Syn.”

“If any of my stuff is missing, I'm going to kill you.”

“No one wants to steal your makeup.” He said with a grin as we walked back in the room, “...Someone's in your bed.”

I looked to were I was supposed to be sleeping and saw a mess of curly red hair splayed across the bed. The girl was clutching an almost empty bottle of jack, “Wake her up Jimmy.” He nudged her and she only groaned and rolled over.

“Wake up sweetie, Come on.” He shook her shoulder rougher this time but she didn't even budge, “What do we do Brian? She looks like she's been crying”

I noticed how puffy her eyes looked and sighed, “Just leave her we will find out who she is in the morning.”

Jimmy crouched down next to her and grabbed the bottle she had in a death grip, “I'm gonna take this bottle so you don’t hurt yourself sweetie.”

She opened eyes suddenly and I saw her green eyes briefly, “No you're not!” she yelled and passed out again.

He looked shocked “She told you Rev.” I threw a cover over her and sat down on the other twin bed. “Looks like we are sharing a bed tonight buddy.”

“I'm not sleeping with you! You steal all the covers!”

I glared at him. "I'm not sleeping on the floor."

He glared right back at me, "Fine but if I waked up without any covers I'm gonna fucking punch you."

I rolled my eyes lay back on the bed with my head on my arm wondering who this mystery girl was.
