MELISSA WOKE UP TO an empty room. Andrea was nowhere in sight and she grew a bit worried but was quickly reminded that they were underground now, safe and away from the dangers of the—now—real world.

The blonde sat on her bed to stretch her arms when a stabbing pain appeared in her brain. Hangover. Oh, how she hated hangover. She woke up feeling more tired than yesterday even, that's how the consequences of alcohol drinking felt. Like if a bus hit you three times over.

She pulled herself up from the bed through the pain running over her body and washed her face, pulling on new clothes and walking out of the room. She really hoped Jenner would have some coffee and more painkillers.

As she walked to the cafeteria, she came across her older brother, the same tired expression was present on his face but he laughed it off once he caught sight of her little sister's pained expression, he slung an arm around her shoulders, "Hangover, Melrose?"

Melissa simply rolled her eyes at him and shrugged his arm off, "Like you aren't ." she said before the smell of coffee and eggs reached her nose.

The two walked into the room side by side, ready to drink at least five coffee cups and eat the hangover away. Melissa smiled brightly as she glanced around the group of survivors already gathered around a table.
