| Chapter 10 |
| The next morning Howie awoke. He wasn’t at home at all. He smelled food cooking downstairs. The thought of food made him sick as he ran to the bathroom to empty the contents in his stomach. How much did I have to drink last night he thought as he threw-up again. He felt a gentle hand begin to rub his back easing the tension in his body. When he was through, he looked up to see Sarah with a slight bit of concern on her face. When he found his voice after a few moments he decided to ease her concern. “How much did I have to drink last night?” “Enough to make you drunk & hung over this morning. You passed out in your car when I drove you here. I figured I would let you crash for the night since you were in no condition to go home.” “Thanks, I owe you big time. I have never consumed so much alcohol so I’m not used to hang-overs” “Your welcome. Why don’t you go lay down and I’ll bring you something to help your hang over.” She left & returned with a pinkish liquid Howie almost choked on. “What is in this?” “Pepto-Bismal, aspirin, water & something else that I don’t know but it works. I asked my friend to bring me a couple over for you. She makes them all the time because she usually gets hung-over from a party or something like that. She created it for her own needs & now everyone goes to her for it.” “It tastes awful, but I’ll take your word on the fact that it work.” “Raven always says it was meant to taste nasty to teach us not to drink so much. It serves us right. Actually she likes it & I don’t know why.” They laughed. Howie laid back down and fell into a deep sleep hoping that when he woke up the nasty concoction he had drank would work to ease his stomach & keep him from getting sick once again. |
