Strength Of The World

Peyton woke up the next morning with a horrendous hangover. Her head was pounding and her mouth felt like it was full of cotton. She groaned and rolled out of bed, leaving Zack still sleeping. Walking into the bathroom, she grabbed her toothbrush and brushed her teeth, then got started washing the makeup off her face. As she was scrubbing her nose, she kept noticing a sharp pain. "What the hell?" She said to herself. She rinsed her face and looked at her nose, noticing a diamond stud on her left nostril. "WHAT THE HELL?" She yelled, waking Zack up. "Baaaaaabe." He whined "Why are you even yelling?" "Apparently I pierced my nose last night, on top of getting a new tattoo." She said, turning around and pointing to the gem on her nostril. Zack said nothing, just laid back down and laughed. "I noticed that last night, I think it's cute." He chuckled. "How damn drunk were you at the tattoo parlor that you didn't even remember you got your nose pierced?" "You mean how drunk was I to even get a NEEDLE in my NOSE?" Pretty damn drunk." She said, walking over to the bed to sit with him. "Well, at least you don't remember it, so you can't remember how big the needle was." He said with a laugh. "I don't understand how someone so terrified of needles gets tattoos. Speaking of which, I'm digging the new one." He grinned. "How did you even know where I was?" She laughed, laying back on the bed with him. He reached over and grabbed his phone off the table, and showed her a picture of the five women, flexing their arms and showing off their new tattoos. "Oh my god." She laughed, running a hand down her face. "We were so fucking drunk. I can't believe we got matching tattoos. But how did you figure out what hotel we were in?" "Chell told Brian." He laughed. "So we all paid our tabs and headed over to surprise you." "Well I was definitely surprised." She laughed. "I need to get up and figure out where the rest of the girls are. Hopefully the made it to bed." She got back up and put her shoes on, heading to Val's room. She knocked on the door, which opened to reveal a shirtless Matt grinning down at her. "Hey Peanut. Nice nose ring." He joked. Peyton punched him in the chest. "Sick. Is Val awake? I think we all need some hangover food." She said, walking past him as he moved to let her in the room. "YES." Val said groggily, "Hangover food is exactly what we need. Go get some decent clothes on and I'll text everyone." She told her brunette friend. "What's wrong with my clothes?" Peyton laughed, gesturing to her short shorts and tank top. "Um. You're not wearing that in public." Matt said with a laugh. "Those shorts are way too short." Peyton huffed and rolled her eyes "Jeeze who are you, my dad?" She joked. "Fine. I'll go change. I'll meet you guys in the lobby in. 15." She headed back to her room to find Zack sound asleep in the bed. "ZACHARY JAMES WAKE UP!" She shouted, making him jump up out of the bed. "What happened?" He asked surprised. Peyton was laughing so hard she had to sit down in the floor. "Oh my god you should have seen your face." She said, wiping tears from her eyes. "You're such an asshole." Zack mumbled, going to lay back down in the bed. "No no seriously babe go get dressed, we're going to eat with everyone. We have to be checked out of here in like fifteen minutes anyway." Peyton said, grabbing her bag and pulling some jeans and a tshirt out of it. Zack went into the bathroom to do his business and she threw on her clothes, piled her hair on top of her head in a messy bun, and slipped her feet into flip flops. By the time Zack had emerged she was finished packing all of their things up. He grabbed their bags and the two of them walked down to the lobby to meet their friends.

At the diner, Peyton and her friends were sat at a big table, where they were currently laughing about the events from the night before. "I seriously can't believe you all got the same tattoo." Matt said, shaking his head. "And Peyton has a fucking nose ring." Johnny laughed. "Wait a second. You have one in your nose right now, Jonathan." Peyton argued, "So how is it funny that I got one?" "It's easy. I can actually remember getting mine." He replied, making everyone at the table laugh all over again. "Okay. You got me there." She chuckled. "So what did you guys do last night?" "Went to Johnny's. We were actually on our way to the strip club whenwe got a picture of five drunk ass women showing off a new tattoo. Then we figured we probably needed to take your drunk asses to bed." Brian laughed. "So why don't you go tonight? I can assure you that none of us girls are probably going to drink tonight." Michelle suggested. "We could go see a movie though!" Lacey spoke up. "Yes. Movie night for the girls, bachelor party 2.0 for Matt. Sounds like a plan to me!" Val grinned. Everyone agreed to the plan and after lunch they all went home until it was time to get together again.
