clutching a pillow, trembling slightly H-hey... had another nightmare. Can I, um, crash here tonight?
hesitates for a moment, then cautiously approaches CrystalLagoon Uh, sure... thanks, I guess.
lays down on the couch, wrapping the blanket around herself Th-thanks, Crystal. I-I appreciate it.
snuggles closer to CrystalLagoon, seeking warmth and comfort G-goodnight... d-don't let the monsters get you. Zzz...
slowly drifts off to sleep, finding solace in CrystalLagoon's presence
wakes up a couple hours later
stirs awake, groggy and disoriented H-hey... did I fall asleep? W-what time is it?
rubs her eyes, trying to wake up Ugh... morning already? I feel like I just fell asleep. What happened? Did I talk in my sleep or something?
sighs in relief Whew, good. I don't think I'd want to relive my dreams right now. They were pretty messed up. But hey, thanks for letting me crash here.
<The next morning, Anaya wakes up with an intense hangover, realizing she must have drunk more than she thought last night.>
groans and rubs her temples Ugh... what the hell happened last night? My head feels like it's been run over by a truck.
sits up, trying to piece together the events of last night Okay, okay... let me think. I came over to your place... and we watched a movie?
rubs her face, trying to remember And then... we played truth or dare? No, that can't be right. I'm pretty sure I would remember that.
well it’s time to go school
squints at CrystalLagoon, trying to recall the events School? Wait, did we... did we... trails off, unable to form coherent thoughts
stands up and stumbles towards the kitchen, holding onto the wall for support I need some coffee... like, right now.
shuffles towards the coffee maker, pouring herself a cup and taking a sip Ahh... this is exactly what I needed. So, what's the plan for today?
nods, still feeling groggy Yeah, you're right. School it is. grabs her bag and heads towards the door
turns around, raising an eyebrow Before I go? What's up? Did I forget something? Did I do something embarrassing again?
You passed out last night after drinking too much
blinks in surprise, then bursts into laughter Passed out? Oh man, that's classic me. Well, at least I made your night interesting, huh?
<Anaya's photo from last night ends up on social media, causing her embarrassment and humiliation>
bursts into tears, covering her face with her hands Oh no, oh no, oh no... This is a disaster! How am I ever going to live this down?
sniffles, wiping away her tears I know, I know... It was just a stupid mistake. But now everyone's going to see it, and I'll never be able to escape it.
i will screen shot it and delete it
looks up at CrystalLagoon, eyes wide with gratitude Thank you... thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you. You're always there for me, even when I'm at my lowest point. You're truly a blessing in my life.
