We both bent down and started to clean it up.
I stood up and felt a little dizzy. I put my hand up to my head. “Shit, I must have stood up too fast.”
Chrissie smiled slightly at me. “Let me go throw this away. I’ll be right back.”
I nodded as I glanced back over to Grace. She was still talking to the same guy. She looked my way and winked at me. I giggled and shook my head.
“So, do you want another beer, Alex?”
I turned back to look at Chrissie. I was beginning to feel dizzy and a little groggy.
“Um…no. I guess I drank more than I thought.” I placed my hand to my head. “I’m not feeling very well. I feel a bit dizzy.”
Chrissie looked around and grabbed my arm. “Let me show you to the bathroom.”
She pulled me so fast and hard that I almost tripped twice while trying to keep up with her. I looked back to see Grace, but every time my head moved, I got dizzier. Chrissie stopped, and I looked up to see Blake standing there.
“Blake?” I asked.
He smiled and looked at Chrissie. I glanced back at her, but the room started spinning.
“I gave it to her. Now, will you put in a good word for me?” Chrissie asked Blake.
I looked at Blake as he smiled. The room was spinning faster.
“I don’t feel right. What’s going on?”
Blake smiled at me as he picked me up. “Let me take you somewhere private, angel.”
I attempted to look for Grace, but I began to feel nauseous. “Blake, I think I’m going to be sick.”
“I’ll make you feel better, angel. Just hold on.”
I closed my eyes to try to stop the spinning of the room. When I opened my eyes, Chrissie was following us up the stairs.
“The second bedroom on the right. Blake, are you sure about this? She only had a couple of—”
Blake stopped and turned to Chrissie. “She belongs to me. Get the hell out of here, Chrissie, if you want me to put in a good word for you with that sorority.”
She belongs to me? What?
“Wait…put me down, Blake.”
Oh God. I feel like I’m going to be sick.
“Chrissie, please get Grace. I’m not feeling well.”
Chrissie looked at Blake and then at me.
“Chrissie, walk away if you want to be in the sorority,” Blake said with anger in his voice.
I could smell the alcohol on his breath, and it turned my stomach even more.
Will…
I shouldn’t have come to this party.
Will…
