Ali awoke in her bedroom with a major headache. She tried sitting up slowly when she felt an arm around her, and her eyes grew wide turning her head to look behind her she saw a mop brown hair covering someones face. Ali's heart began to race slightly as she tried to remember what had happened the night before. Small bits and pieces came back but nothing that could tell her what could have happened for a guy to be in the bed next to her. Moving slowly from underneath the guys arm as she slipped off the bed, Ali grabbed her phone and dialed Sarah's number.

"Hello?" Sarah answered groggily after a few rings.

"Hi! Um.. Mind telling my why there is a stranger in my bed?" Ali asked in a hushed tone, biting her thumbnail as she looked at the guy in her bed.

"Derek? He went home with you last night because he didn't want to wake up his parents." She said calmly with a yawn. "Plus, we thought that maybe you two could have a little play time." Sarah laughed.

"My god, Sarah! Thank you for just hoeing me around!" Shaking her head, then quickly looking down at herself to make sure she was still clothed, still keeping her voice low. "How much did I drink last night anyway? I mean I can't remember anything. I normally am really good with keeping my alcohol level at a minimum buzz." Confused as she sat down at her computer chair.

"Actually, you only had a few drinks last night..."

"Okay. so why can't I remember anything?"

"Well... There was some pills and pot there, and after your first drink you were pretty much ready to say yes to anything and Erik brought some pills to you and offered them. You took them... It just escalated from there." Sarah said a little nervous.

Ali stared at her wall, her jaw set. She had been off pills for almost a full year now and she hated that she had even gotten on them in the first place. "You didn't take them from me because?!" Raising her voice slightly.

"Don't give me that, Ali! I'm not your mom and you begged for me to give you some." She could hear the sincerity in her voice.

Giving off a small sigh, Ali placed her head on her hands on top of her desk. "Sorry babe.. You know me.. So much shit went down because of all of that... I just don't want to deal with it again."

"I know.. I know... I shouldn't have let you.. It was stupid to think that one time couldn't hurt." There was some voices in the background and Ali heard Sarah sighing. "Hey, Ali. I'm gonna have to call you back because I have to go with my mom somewhere. We will finish this conversation later."

Ali soon heard the click of phone and placed it down on the desk. She laid her head on her arms, closing her eyes when she heard a deep voice behind her.

"Is everything alright?"

Ali quickly turned around to see the boy, Derek, had woken up. Standing up, as she leaned against the desk, she nodded her head quickly.

"Oh yeah... Everything is fine.. I am just.. a little surprised with myself last night." Ali nervously chuckled avoiding looking at him.

"Alright, I was just wanting to make sure.. It seems like you were a little distressed." He said rubbing the back of his neck, looking over to the wall. Biting her lip, Ali started rubbing her arm.

"So.. I... I'm really sorry, but last night I was.. plastered and I just.. Don't remember anything that happened last night.." She said apologetically.

He chuckled nodding his head. "So was I! Thank god.. I thought this was going to be one of those movie moments where the girl remembers everything, but the guy doesn't remember anything and just breaks any hope that the girl had."

Ali looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Has that happened to you before?"

His eyes grew a little wide, shaking his head quickly. "Oh no.. I barely get drunk, but Erik decided that it might be good for me." Rolling his eyes and placing his hands in his pockets.

"Sarah said the same thing about me. She said that I needed to get out because I had been coped up way to much." Laughing lightly.

"Why do I have a feeling that they decided to try and hook us up? This would be the 4th time this month Erik had tried to do this." Derek said shaking his head.

"5th for me. They think that I am so unhappy or something like that. I don't understand it at all." Ali laughed a little harder.

Derek smiled at her, outstretching his hand towards her's. "Well since we barely know what happened last night, we might as well get to know each other a little. I'm Derek." He said flashing a small smirk.

Ali watched him for a moment before talking his hand and shaking it. "I like that idea. I'm Ali.. Pleasure to meet you Derek."
