Dismantled Almosts

“Exactly. It’s a nice thing to know that my body is looking out for me, but I’d rather it do so in a more subtle way. Thank you, Nicky.” Leaning against the other female, Holland carefully made way back to the hotel, focused on not tripping over the carpet of the hotel floor, or her own two feet. With a deep breath she just rested her head on the other’s shoulder, then after a moment she mumbled, “You smell really nice, by the way.” She didn’t linger on the compliment, seeing as the elevator finally opened up for the pair. Quickly making her way inside, she made sure to tug on the girl as well. “So, you have food in your room, right?”

Nicola laughed softly at her friend and nodded along. “Yeah, it needs to be a little bit nicer to you for sure.” At the words about how nice she smiled, Nicola couldn’t help but grin in response. It was obvious that compliments from Holland still made her day no matter how hard she wished she could hide it. “I definitely have food in my room, don’t worry,” she said with a smile as they headed out of the elevator and to her room. Nicola opened the door and walked Holland over to the bed before going back to the door and shutting it. “Do you want me to order a pizza or something?”

Nods just slightly at the question before shaking her head right after, “I am, but I’m not. Like… my stomach is warning me, so maybe I can prevent this from being bad.” Holly wasn’t too used to actually getting sick when she drank, but then again she was well fed, active, and drank carefully – things that were void from tonight in particular. “Thank you so, so much.” As Nicola went away, Holly attempted standing up, but realized that was more of a duo job rather than solo. When the woman came back, Holland quickly grabbed her hand and pulled herself up, laughing softly as she stumbles a little. “Y-Yeah, that sounds really amazing.” She took a deep breath and did her best to quickly gather her belongings. Makes her way back to her friend when she does, and smiles softly, “Lead the way, sunshine.”

“Oh, I totally get what you mean. That feeling that’s letting you know you better get your shit together before you barf everywhere. We’ll do our best to prevent you.” Nicola had been sick a few times before and every single time was worse than the last. She definitely didn’t want this to happen to her friend. “It’s going to be great, don’t you worry.” Nicola smiled brightly when Holland came back and put an arm around her. “Follow me, my friend.” The party wasn’t everything that she hoped it would be, so she was more than happy to head back to their room. Nicola made her way back to the hotel with Holland as quickly as possible. If Holland was going to puke, she didn’t want her to have to get sick in public. “Almost there, hallelujah.” The girl laughed as they made their way into the hotel and walked over to the elevator.

Nicola took a sip from her cup as she glanced around at all of the little groups that had been made at the party. When she heard her friend say ew, she laughed softly figuring it was just the awful taste at the bottom of a beer. It wasn’t until she felt Holland poke her leg that she looked over to her friend. “Are you alright?” The brunette asked her friend and then nodded as she explained everything. “Hey, don’t worry about ending the party early. I think it was starting to die down a little anyways. We can totally do that, just let me get rid of these cups and we’ll head back.” It was an honestly surprise that Holland was wanting to leave, but Nicola wasn’t going to argue with her. She had already been a little bummed at how much Ellie and Holland seemed to enjoy their little makeout session, she was ready to leave the party a while ago. After she discarded their cups, Nicky made her way back to Holland and extended a hand for her friend to take. “Come on, time to go eat food, throw up, and relax,” she said with a chuckle. 

OK THIS IS REALLY CALMING
