A New Beginning, chapter 9
"Oww. My fucking head hurts." I said as soon as I woke up with the chain saw symphony playing in my head. "I need some coffee and aspirin like now." I said as I stumbled down the stairs. "How the hell did I get into my pajama pants?" I mumbled as I entered the kitchen since all I remember was passing out on the bed.
"Good morning. Well I should say afternoon sleepy head." Adrienne said in a cheery voice as I sat down on the table. She then placed in front of me a stack of pancakes, two aspirin and a cup of coffee.
"Oh my god. Thanks so much. I really need the aspirin and coffee." I said before quickly swallowing the two pills.
"Well I know what a girl like you wants for a hangover since you're so much like me." she said while washing the dishes. I greedily at all the pancakes and drank all the coffee as if I haven't had a good meal in days which isn't true.
"Well I'm gonna go over to my house and have a shower." I said after putting the dishes in the sink.
"Just have one here." Adrienne suggested but I refused.
"I hate having showers in other people's houses. It just feels odd." I said as I ran out of the house.
I entered the house and it had a very eerie unlived feeling to it. Well I guess no one was living in it at the time. I ran upstairs and went into the bathroom. I quickly stripped down and noticed a reddish brownish spot in my underwear. "Aww shit." I mumbled as I went into the shower. When I got out I was in search of my tampons but no luck. "Fucking hell. Well I just hope Adrienne has some I can borrow for now." I said as I shoved some toilette paper in my underwear and got dressed. When I was done I went back over to Joey's house. "I'm back." called out when I came in. I heard two faint hellos coming from in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to find Adrienne and Billie cleaning up the kitchen. "Umm Adrienne do you umm... Well... Billie could you maybe leave for a minute please." I asked.
"Sure but why?" he asked giving me a quizzical look.
"Umm... Girl problems." I explained.
"Wha... Oh I got ya. O.k." he said as he left the room.
"As you were saying sweetie." Adrienne said as Billie left the room.
"Well do you have any tampons I could borrow? I'm out of 'em at the moment." I said feeling my face getting hotter.
"Oh ya sure. Just follow me." she said as she started upstairs. She gave me a couple and I went to the bathroom. When I came out I bumped into Joey.
"Hey babe you look good this afternoon." he said as he gave me a peck on the cheek.
"No I fucking don't. I'm fucking fat. Don't even start to lie." I spat at him as I stormed off to my bedroom.
***Joey's POV***
"Wow. What the hell's her problem." I muttered to myself as dad passed.
"Who's problem?" he asked stopping to look at me.
"Melissa's. She just fucking flew off the handle when I said good afternoon to her. Like what the fuck." I said getting frustrated trying to figure out what that was all about.
"O.k. I give up on trying to get you not to swear. And Melissa is PMSing." he said.
"What the hell is PMS?" I asked.
"Adrienne. Would you like to explain to Joey what PMS is?" called dad. Mom came out of the bed room.
"O.k. I'll make this really short. PMS is when a girl gets really moody when she has her period. But chocolate makes everything better if you piss her off." mom said and left again.
"That answer your question?" dad asked as he left the hallway to go do only god knows what. Just then Melissa emerged out of her bedroom with a sad expression on her face.
"I'm sorry Joey. I didn't mean to flip out like that. It's just well... ." she started to drift off.
"I know. It's alright. I'm just glad it's only a girl thing."
"You're right. It's a royal pain in the ass. Thank god it's only once a month though." she said as she gave me a hug and returned back to her happy self. 'Holly fuck. She was like bitchy, then sad now happy. This is gonna be a hard couple of day to not piss her off.' I thought to myself as we sat down on the couch and she gave me a peck on the cheek.
