“Yeah, don’t ask. I don’t even know where that came from. Why didn’t we cut her off like 3 rounds ago?”

Tim snatched it from Caleb’s hand. “You got a last name there, Caleb?” He asked, authoritatively.
“Uh, yes sir. Wright, with a ‘W’.” Caleb responded.

Summary
“It’s bullshit!” Harper asserted. Her eyes trialed to the right as she saw Lucy dragging Angela towards the bar. Knowing her tolerance, or lack thereof, she imagined how bad this night could be if they both got drunk. “If Lucy is a lot to handle with liquid gold streaming through her veins, and Angela is the only one to get her to be somewhat normal, what happens if they’re both drunk?”
“What?” Jackson turned around to see Angela and Lucy doing shots. Once he saw the view he rubbed his hand over his face. “Not my problem.”
Harper scoffed again as she tilted her head back; taken aback, thinking to herself how ridiculous that sentiment was. “That is your roommate. That is literally your problem, what you mean not my problem?”

Summary
Angela waited as she turned around, with a painful grimace one might add, and she looked Lucy up and down. Her change of mood from the night before was very obvious. “Hey, hey what’s wrong? You fliched.” Angela looked at her inquisitively, waiting impatiently for her answer.
Lucy tried to talk, but the pain suddenly increased. She grasped at her side and exhaled outwards, desperate to gain back what little control she had about the whole situation. “It just-,” She breathed in again as Angela sat her down on the bench. “Hurts. Here.” Lucy signaled to her side which she was aggressively clutching.
“Do you need to go to the hospital?” Angela could feel Lucy just trembling from the pain. Breathing in and out.
OR
Lucy has severe stomach pain that eventually leads to appendicitis. Angela is very anxious and worried, as one would be, because DOD has not happened long before this. They battle through faulty organs and jealousy of exes, always reassuring each other.
