Queen For A Day

Three hours later I had lost count of how many drinks I’d had. The guys and I were one big drunken mess. Vic surprised me by how much he drank when we first got to the club. He obviously wanted to get drunk quickly.
“I wanna go dace!” I yelled over the loud music to Mike and Jaime. We were sitting at the bar, with Tony and Vic nowhere to be seen.
“I’m gonna finish my drink,” Jaime replied motioning to his full glass. I looked hopefully to Mike who held up his glass that was also full.
“Same here,” he slurred. Boring. They weren’t going to stop me though, I can dance alone! I hopped down off my stool and ran to the middle of the large group of dancing people. I moved my hips around to the rhythm of the electronic music and was quite lost in my own mind when I felt hands on my hips. A warm body was pushed up against my back and I could feel someone’s hot breath on my neck, giving me goose bumps. I pushed my butt back against their crotch and received an unhappy moan.
“Probably shouldn’t be doing this to strangers Cali,” a slurred voice whispered in my ear. I spun around on my hell as quickly as I could. How did this person know my name!? The dark featured man who was now in front of me wrapped his arms around my lower back, keeping our bodies pressed together.
“Vic?” I was more than surprised to see it was him who was holding me, but I didn’t let my shock stop me from moving.
“You’re so pretty Cali,” Vic murmured, nuzzling his head into my neck and kissing it lightly. I let out a small moan unintentionally.
“Vic why were you crying?” the words left my lips without warning. Fuck. Why did I say that? Curse this stupid alcohol.
Vic straightened up and looked down at me. “Two years ago, on this day my girlfriend died.” He sighed.
Wow.. that makes so much sense..
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear,” I mumbled. “How’d she die?”
Maybe it was the alcohol that was giving me so much blatant confidence, but I know that I have never been so straight up with questions in my entire life. We’d stopped moving now but he was still holding me, and starting straight into my eyes, as if searching for answers.
“Sh-“ he choked slightly, “she took h-her own life. Cut straight down her arm. I found her in the bathroom,” he looked at the floor. Despite my drunken state I finally managed to put all the pieces together.
“And that’s why you got upset over that line in Bulletproof Love?”
“It’s written about her..” he admitted.
“I’m sorry Vic, is there anything I can do to help?”
And that was the last thing I remembered from my day with Pierce the Veil.

I awoke the next morning with a thumping head. I opened my eyes only to find that the light in the room was way too bright. Why did I have to get so drunk? I groaned in agony as I rolled over. Where even was I? I didn’t remember leaving the club last night at all. I slowly opened my eyes and let them adjust to the light to find that I was, in fact, in my own bed. How the hell did I get here?
I rolled out of bed and found my way to the medicine closet where I swallowed to painkillers dry. I had so many questions floating through my mind that needed answering, but my head hurt to even think about anything. I walked back to my bedroom and took a look at my room. My dress and shoes from last night were right next to my over flowing washing basket, which wasn’t odd. My blankets were all messed up though, and most of my pillows were on the floor. I am known to be a restless sleeper, especially whilst drunk, but this seemed severe even for me. I pulled all the linen off, shaking it thoroughly before replacing it carefully. A knock on the door pulled me out of my own little world and I rushed to answer it. That’s when I looked down. Shit, I’m only wearing a shirt. I ran back to my bedroom in search for a pair of cotton shorts and a bra before running back to the door. I opened it to see the grinning face of my best friend.
“I need details Cali.” She stated, pushing her way into my living room.
“Shh Fay I’m currently supporting a major hangover,” I groaned clutching my head.
Fay stared at me. “You got drunk with them?”
“Yeah.. I regret it now though.” I flopped down on the couch.
“Right. So what happened yesterday?” Fay sounded unconvinced.
I explained in as much detail as possible the events of my day with Pierce the Veil. By the end of my explanation Fay was so excited.
“I still can’t believe you played on stage with them!” She yelled, jumping off the couch.
“I know neither can I!” I giggled.
