Chapter 25
Nick's View
Like I said to Tiffany I sat at the booth all night. I noticed that Brian was still talking to Sara and that Tiffany wasn't on the dance floor. I looked over at the bar to find Tiffany chugging down a beer with several other empty beers in front of her.
"Shit!" I said under my breath. I got up and rushed over to Tiffany.
"Tiffany what are you doing!?" I said taking the beer away from her.
She squinted at me and slurred, "Relieving some stress."
"How many did you have?"
"Four, five, sixteen."
"God! What the hell were thinking!?" I yelled. She was falling backwards but before she fell off I caught her and took her off the stool. I helped her to the entrance with MUCH difficulty. She kept losing her step and falling but each time I caught her. We headed outside and I hailed a taxi. We got in and went to the hotel. As we entered Tiffany fell on her butt in front of maybe 10 or 15 people. One of them being Donna. She rushed over as I helped Tiffany up.
"What in God's name is going on here!?"
"Tiffany is just a little drunk," I said trying to balance her.
"A little drunk!? Look at her!"
"I'm taking care of it."
"You better and she better be ready tomorrow!" she said as she walked off.
I picked Tiffany up and went to the elevator. We got in and headed up to her and Brian's room. I walked slowly so she wouldn't get sick. I reached her door and was going to open it but I realized that I didn't have a key.
"Tiffany? Where's your key."
She started to giggle, "I left it at the club in my purse."
"Just great! I guess your coming to my room," I said going to my room. I went in and set Tiffany down. She was really wobbly and before she fell she grabbed on to the wall. I got a glass of water and gave it to her but before she took it she covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. The next thing I heard was vomiting. I sighed and went to the bathroom to see Tiffany hunched over throwing up in the toilet. I walked over to her and held her hair while rubbing her back. When she was down she fell back on the floor and held her stomach closing her eyes.
"Tiffany why were you drinking?" I asked but I didn't get a response. I looked closer and found that she had passed out. I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I set her down lightly and took her shoes off. I knew she wouldn't be comfortable in the cloths that she was wearing but Brian would kill me if he found out that I changed her into some night cloths. I decided to change her anyway. Brian will understand right? I got some boxers and a T-shirt from my bag and changed her into it. I didn't look at anything! Even tough it was tempting. I put her under the covers and turned off the light. I changed myself and hopped onto the couch falling fast asleep.
Brian's View
At the Club
"It was really nice talking to you Sara but I got to go! Tiffany's probably exhausted!" I said looking at my watch to find that it was 1:47AM.
"OK! I'll give you a call sometime!" Sara said giving me a peck on the cheek.
"I'll see ya later!" I said walking away to our booth. All the guys were sitting there talking.
"Hey guys! Where's Tiffany and Nick?" I asked looking at the spots where they were sitting. Tiffany's coat and purse were still there and so was Nick's coat.
"We have no clue," Howie said. "We thought that she was with you."
"She was but I ran into Sara and we started talking."
"Do you think she went back to the hotel with Nick?" AJ asked.
"She might have but Nick's things and her things are still here," I said picking up their things.
"Maybe they just forgot them and went back to the hotel because they were tired," Kevin said.
"Yeah probably! Let's go! I'm a little tired," I said heading to the entrance.
We got to the hotel and went to our rooms but the room was dark and Tiffany wasn't in bed. I threw my coat on the chair and went to Nick's room expecting the worst. I knocked and knocked and after awhile Nick answered rubbing his eyes in only boxers.
"Bri?"
"Where's Tiffany?!"
"She's in bed."
"What!?" I said rushing into the room finding Tiffany's cloths on the floor and Tiffany in the bed curled up in a ball.
"What did you do?!" I yelled rushing over to Tiffany and shaking her lightly.
"I didn't do anything! She got drunk and she didn't have the key to your room so I brought her here."
"She's drunk!"
"Yeah and I think you have something to do with it!"
"What do you mean by that!?"
"She's never drunken before and I find it kind of strange that she got drunk when she is going out with you!"
"I have nothing to do with this! I didn't do anything!"
"Exactly! You were ignoring her the whole night and I guess she thought you were flirting with that bitch Sara!"
"Don't call Sara a bitch! She's the most kindest girl around!"
"What about Tiffany?!"
"Besides Tiffany she's the kindest person alive!"
"I'm not about to be in another fight with you so I'm just going to tell you what happened. Tiffany came over to me asking why I wasn't dancing. I told her that I didn't feel like it and I wondered why she wasn't with you. She told me that you were talking with you ex and so called still friend. I asked her if she liked her and she said that she doesn't and that she thinks that she was a bitch. After that she went to the bar and I went back to eating cherries. An hour or so later I looked around to find you still talking to Sara and Tiffany at the bar chugging down a beer. I noticed that she had tons of other bottles in front of her all empty. I went up to her and asked how many she had and she took like 2 minutes to figure out who I was. When she did she told she had sixteen. Sixteen! That isn't like her. She's not even at the legal drinking age and she hasn't had one drink in her life! So I took her back to the hotel and found out that she didn't have her key so I brought her over here. She threw up and then passed out. I changed her into her night cloths and then put her to bed. I didn't look at anything! I swear so don't jump to conclusions! I then went to bed and then you came pounding on my door and here we are."
"Is she OK?"
"How should I know?"
"Sorry I yelled at you. I was just worried that you guys might have slept together."
"I wouldn't do that to you and she wouldn't either. She loves you Brian more than anything and I can tell. Just one word of advice, don't let her go."
"Thanks bro! I'm going to take her to our room now OK? Thanks for taking care of her and I'll see you tomorrow!" I said picking her up and taking her to our room.
