Leaving the cave, going into the unknown

When I woke up I felt like pure crap, my head was throbbing and my body felt like it had been run over by a truck. I’ve never been in this much pain in my life and I finally knew what Kate was going threw when she would be hung-over. I got up slowly and trudged my way into the kitchen to grab some Tylenol, while I made some tea. I pieced the day together and remember exactly what had happened and what I said to Alan. I looked down at the bracelet and smiled, I knew he was thinking of me and that I would get to see him soon. I decided to make some breakfast; maybe it would help with this terrible feeling. I finished putting peanut butter on my English muffin when I head Kate start to come down the stairs, I looked over my shoulder to see her.

“Good Morning. How’s the hangover doing?” I asked.

“Me? I’m fine, I’m used to this I don’t really get them anymore. How are you doing? After the amount that you drank last night I can imagine that you aren’t feeling too great right now.” She hopped up on the counter next to me.

“Let’s see my head hurts, my body feels like it’s been run over by a truck and I can remember everything that happened last night which brings me to my next point. I am so sorry Kate. Last night was supposed to be about you and getting over Tom and I got super wasted and you had to take care of me. I can’t imagine that was the night you had planned for us.” I looked over at her waiting for her reaction.

“Alex don’t worry about it, if anything you’ve built a great imagine and memory in my mind. I’m glad I could be the first one to get you that drunk, and now I get to watch your first real hangover unfold.” She laughed and I couldn’t help but laugh along with her.

“So do you want to tell me now that you’re not under the influence, what really happened with Tom?” I sat down at the kitchen table and she followed.

“Well he took me out for dinner and I thought that it was just another night out but then he started to talk about the future and what he wanted, he got down on one knee and proposed.” She admitted.

“Well what did you do?”

“I said that I loved him but I wasn’t ready to get married yet. Alex I love him with all my heart and I have never felt this way before about anyone but I don’t even know if I want to get married. You know that my parents got divorced when I was young and I don’t want to have to go threw the same stuff that they went threw. So he told me that if I wouldn’t marry him then there was no point in continuing this relationship. He got up and left.” I was pretty shocked; I thought that Kate would want to marry him.

“Well I’m sorry that it had to end like that, hell I’m sorry that it had to end.” I put my arm around her and pulled her into a hug.

“Don’t worry about it I’ll get over it eventually. I don’t want it to be awkward for you at work though ok? Just be normal.” I nodded. It would be kinda weird for a little bit but I’m sure that Tom and I could figure it all out in time.



A long week had past and it was finally time for me to go and see Alan at his show and tour with them for a bit. I was really excited and had packed then unpacked then packed my suitcase. I think it was finally perfect, it had the right amount of clothes and I packed some fancier outfits in case we went out to a club. I sat down on my bed and looked around my room, I didn’t really want to leave. I wanted Alan to be here with me for a week not me having to go on a tour bus. My separation from my room was kicking in and I started to cry, I knew how ridiculous this whole thing was but I couldn’t stop.

“Alex why are you crying what happened?” Kate came running into the room and brought me into a hug.

“I don’t want to leave, I want Alan to be here. I’m going to miss you and Sophie and going to work every day. I know it sounds stupid but I’m going to miss it all.” I heard Kate chuckle a bit.

“I know but think of the adventures you’re going to have this week it’s going to be so much fun. Trust me once you see Alan I know that you’ll feel better, all of these emotions are just hitting you at once. You’ll be fine and you won’t be that far away.” I nodded before standing up and grabbing my bag. I got into the passengers seat of the car and Kate started to drive to the venue, this was going to be an interesting week.
