Rosa always ended up regretting a lot of her life decisions, but nothing had ever hit her worse than the hangover she found herself with the morning after the party.
She sat curled up on the steps outside the church, clutching her throbbing head, desperately wanting to go back to sleep. Harry was half awake beside her, face held in his hands, whilst Luke rested against the brick wall, eyes closed shut to avoid the low morning sunlight.
Will LeClair and Sam Eliot had arrived earlier, but stood a little out the way, allowing the three of them to deal with their agonising hangovers in peace.
The sound of approaching footsteps prompted Rosa to lift her head, squinting slightly to make out the familiar figures of Cassandra and Allie Pressman. In warning, she nudged Harry's leg with her knee, earning a grumble from the boy until he eventually looked up, catching sight of his high school rival. Harry sighed heavily, making his exasperation known as the sisters reached the five of them.
Cassandra leaned against one of the pillars, holding up a pack of ibuprofen and a bottle of water. In that moment, it was possibly the most heavenly sight Rosa had ever seen.
"Oh my god marry me," was all Rosa said, relief overcoming her as Cassandra tossed the medicine and water towards her, the blonde not bothering to hide her smile at the comment.
Rosa hurriedly flipped open the ibuprofen cap, tipping two tablets into her hand before unscrewing the water bottle cap.
"I'll get a car and go to Greenwich to get help," Cassandra stated.
"Why you?" Harry asked, leaning his head against his hand as he watched Cassandra through narrowed eyes.
"Someone has to find out where everyone went," she replied. "We can't all go."
"I'll do it," Harry said, earning a look of surprise from Rosa as she popped the two ibuprofen caplets into her mouth, not expecting Harry to offer to do anything helpful – other than throw a party of course.
Rosa took a drink of water before passing the medication over to him. Cassandra raised her eyebrows at Harry, watching him tip two tablets into his palm. "You're sober."
"Fuck you, Cassandra." The two teenagers stared intensely at each other for a moment, until Cassandra eventually rolled her eyes and turned away. Harry glanced over at Luke, elbowing him awake. "Luke, you want to see if we can get some of the guys to come with?"
Luke started to lift his head from the wall, slowly opening his eyes, seeming to take a moment to process what Harry had just asked him. "Yeah."
"I'll go too," Rosa offered.
Harry looked over at her. "Yeah?"
"Yeah." She nodded, placing a hand on Luke's shoulder for balance as she climbed unsteadily to her feet. "Come on, sleeping beauty, let's go."
