I swear I can hear my heartbeat in my ears.
My head was pounding and I felt like I was going to throw up yesterday's lunch. I forced my eyes open, ready to see the interior of my room at the beach house. Confusion filled me when I was met with waterslides in front of me.
The events of the previous night started coming back to me and I groaned. Everyone else was passed out, lying on the pool floor or leaning against the side.
Hallie's head was rested on my shoulder and Hadley had one arm draped over her face. I almost screamed when something caught my eye.
"Hadley." I shook her gently.
She attempted slap my hands away with a yawn.
"Do you like spiders?" I asked with a humourless chuckle.
"No, I hate them. Now let me sleep." She replied quickly and turned her head.
Being hungover is the worst so naturally I couldn't blame her for not wanting to get up. But you could think again if you thought I was going to pick the giant spider that was currently crawling on her leg up.
"Just, look down." She opened her eyes, probably ready to slap me but followed my eyes. Within a second an ear piercing scream left her mouth, deafening me in the process and she stood up, kicking her leg around.
Everyone woke up with a gasp or a groan and another scream left someone's mouth.
"Oh my god there's a fucking tarantula on me, get it off." Onyx cried, starting down at his shirt.
No one made a move, except the spider.
"Stop screaming, I'm hungover," Damon groaned, "wait, where are we?" His eyes opened wider.
While everyone stood up, joints cracking from being in weird positions all night, Maddox flicked the spider off Onyx and he fell back with a sigh of relief.
"Oh shit, did I actually do that?" Cole asked, probably remembering his pole dancing compilation.
His twin nodded, laughing, but stopped when he said his throat burned from the after taste of last night's vodka.
I felt bile rising up my throat and rushed over to the climb out the empty pool, simultaneously throwing my guts up. Someone held my hair back and I instantly knew it was Asrael.
Hadley threw me a tissue and I thanked her.
Everyone seemed to he doing a bit of expelling the alcohol from their system. I felt a lot better now and stood up straight.
"Quick question guys, how are we getting back? I have no idea where we are?" Domino asked, looking around at our surroundings. She was right, I was sure none of us had any clue. There was only some distant hills and the trespassing sign I wished we'd noticed before we all tumbled down last night.
Speaking of the slide. I presses a hand to my face, hissing at the pain. How to smack your cheek into the edge of a pool 101.
"Fuck, I think I broke my toe." Kade said, taking his shoe off and examining his foot.
"You think that's bad? Haze's fat ass crashed into me on the way down the slide and made me go faster so now my ass is broke." Onyx scoffed, flipping off Haze who returned the favor.
Everyone sat down side by side, looking at nothing and no one in particular.
Around ten minutes passed before anyone spoke.
"We should start walking back." Hunter sighed.
We all shared looks of annoyance at the truth and stayed sat down for another five minutes before getting up and climbing the ladder out of the pool with disinterested huffs.
Now we walk aimlessly and try to get back to the house.
CHAOS
"I'm going to die." Hadley complained. True, somehow she'd lost her heels last night and no one had any spares.
She let out a gasp though when Wyatt picked her up bridal style, continuing to walk.
"What are you doing- actually, never mind I'm comfy." She paused mid sentence and led her head down on my brothers chest. He smiled down at her and I inwardly grinned.
They're the cutest-
Ah shit, not again.
I wasn't able to stop myself before I began falling down the hill. Asrael attempted to stop me before I actually fell but I just ended up dragging him down with me.
Couple goals.
I sat up with and rubbed my head when I finally stopped rolling, climbing off Rael who had broke my fall and looked up.
In front of me was the house.
I pulled Asrael who wasn't making a move to stand, up and gestured to the house and then back to my friend with a smile.
"Looks like we're home." I smiled, dusting the sand off my clothes.
"Thank fuck." Hallie sighed in relief, sliding down the hill as the others followed suit.
Once Riven unlocked the door we all headed inside. Asrael pulled me with him to the kitchen and I pulled off my now torn mesh top while he searched the contents of the freezer.
He held the ice pack to my cheek and I smiled softly at him. I held it in place myself and kissed him before he went upstairs to shower. After getting some a change of clothes and talking to Damon for a few minutes I followed behind him.
CHAOS
Repeated knocking woke me up from my sleep and by the annoyed groan from next to me, it woke Asrael up too.
It eventually got too frustrating and I stood up, stuffing my hands in my fluffy jumper and opening the door.
"Vic? Come back to bed." Asrael spoke, patting the space next to him. It was a tempting offer but someone needed to send the annoying person away.
"Ill be back in a minute." I told him and closed the door behind me before heading down the stairs. Wyatt and Damon seemed to be fully recovered, watching a soccer game of tv but not answering the door.
Of course.
I opened the door, "What do you want?" My sleep had been interrupted and I had a hangover, there was no time to be nice.
The officer showed me his badge and I sighed. Of course this was my luck. I should've just stayed in bed.
Damon appeared behind me and placed his arm on my shoulder, glaring at the officer. If looks could kill the cop would be six foot under right now.
"I'm officer Mills. This is the house of Dante Van Doren, am I correct?" Damon glanced down at me, practically telling me not to say anything.
"Yeah, why?" He asked after a moment of a staring contest between the two.
"Well I'm going to need you kids to come down to the station. Your friend told us what happened last night, probably because he was under the influence. There's trespassing and vandalism charges as well as underage drinking charges." Officer Mills explained and I thought about the 'friend'. We hadn't left anyone behind, I was sure of it.
Damon and I shared the same look.
"Helios." We both yelled at the same time. One of the brown haired brown eyed boys rounded the corner but it was obvious it was Eros because of the angry expression.
"My twin is missing." Is all he said.
"You only just noticed that?" Damon asked, somewhere between dumbfounded and amused.
"What can I say? I was sleeping. He can take care of himself. Now why's there a cop on our doorstep that looks like he's constipated?" Eros grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and came to stand beside me.
Officer Mills didn't look too pleased with that one.
Next thing we knew and we were being driven to the police station, most of us still half asleep.
"I stand by my comment." Eros yawned.
What can I say, he was right.
