She opened her apartment door slowly, making sure to not wake anyone up, and dropped off her guitar by the door, setting it down easily as she closed the door
As she walked back to her room (which frankly didn't take very long, her house was fairly cramped, to say the least), her mind was brought back to the text she had gotten a few minutes ago
"It's fine... one more time won't kill anyone," she muttered a little annoyed as she opened the door to her room, looking over the girl that lay down in her bed
"Science Girl you really wanna take up most of the bed huh?" she teased, opening her closet and grabbing a blanket before heading off to the couch, Sofi was taking up most of the bed, and besides, the couch was always great to sleep in.
Well, sometimes anyway.
Perhaps a beautifully designed long ago, the couch had gone past the point of distress, small tears and holes making up most of it. Despite this, it was a testimony to how much it had gone through. The couch had quite the history, and well, it was hers. She could ask for nothing else.
She dropped herself on the couch, slightly hurting her back as she practically threw herself onto her makeshift bed, she didn't bother getting a pillow. And as she pushed the blanket onto her, she found sleep coming like the falling of an ax, hitting her like a train as she closed her hazel eyes
And at that moment, she had no worries. The world was at peace, and she could sleep. Outside, only the sounds of cars and tires squealing were heard. A nocturnal concrete jungle, the world was waking up and she lied there, drifting off to a peaceful sleep.
Perhaps tomorrow would be worse, or even better.
But at that moment? Well, Dear Reader, she didn't really give a fuck.
She didn't dream of anything, for sleep, that night was devoid of emotion. Only a collapse of everything that had happened that day, a slumber of exhaustion.
Sleep... Well, truly something.
She woke up a few hours later, Ash wasn't exactly a very heavy sleeper and instead of sleeping on a Saturday morning, she usually just went to sleep at 6am, only to wake up two hours later
Well, the early bird gets the worm, doesn't it?
"The fuck am I doing here??" she muttered out as her eyes readjusted to the light, she had no memory of sleeping on a couch unless she was kidnapped and put on a couch that looked exactly the same as hers.
"Oh. Wait. Yeah, Sofi." she realized, a little relieved that she wasn't kidnapped and put in the same surroundings as her previous home. That would certainly be... Quite the experience
She took off the blanket, a cute little exotic piece woven by her grandma when she was younger, it was always her favorite and she made sure to take it out in the colder nights.
Or in those cases, nights where she slept on the couch. Practically the same either way, the night did tend to be pretty cold.
She got up and threw the blanket on the couch, walking over to the kitchen in hopes of making some breakfast, she and Sofi usually had it together, and it certainly helped to have her sleepover.
Well, not exactly her choice either way.
"Okayy... What the fuck do we have here?" she muttered opening the kitchen cabinet to see if they actually had anything edible to eat
Well, the cereal looked sort of edible. "We got any pancake mix?" she asked checking some other cabinets before opening the fridge to see if they had anything else.
Her search was quickly interrupted by a groan coming from her room. Ahh, the hangover. The best part of drinking wasn't it?
She smirked a little and headed off to her room, opening the door to see a clearly in pain Sofi
"Heyyy Science Girl, you good?" she teased as she sat herself down on the bed, laying an affectionate hand on her back
"My head... Hurts... So... Fucking... Bad..." she whined out as she rolled over the bed "What the fuck did I do??"
"Well honey, first off you got batshit drunk. And then you started telling everyone about penguins on Mars."
"So... I didn't get smarter by getting drunk?" she asked painfully, holding her gut in pain
"Nope! Although you might have started a cult of whatever the fuck you were talking about." Ash replied, trying to hold back a giggle
"Now come on, ima make some breakfast." she continued, trying to get her friend off her bed
"Fine... Just don't blame me if I puke," she muttered as she sat on the bed and got up
"Honey if you're puking, you're cleaning it up." she teased before walking over to the kitchen
"But what do you wanna eat? We got some pancakes, cereal and uh... Something that I'm not completely sure is edib-oh lord."
Sofi had ran to the bathroom and what came out was simply a mixture of demonic sounds mixed in with the call of death as she spilled her guts onto the bathroom toilet
"At least it isn't on the floor..." she sighed walking up to the bathroom and holding her friend's hair to make sure none of it got caught, it wasn't a very pretty sight, but to be fair, it was exactly what was expected from all the drinking of last night.
A few moments later, the squealing had stopped "Okay... okay... I'm... fine." she groaned out, walking over to the sink to wash her face
"Still got a cracking headache though," she added after drying herself on the nearby towel
"Yeah well that's normal, come on, I'll make you some chamomile tea and some pancakes and you'll feel a hell of a lot better," she said as she closed the toilet seat too, hoping that whatever was in there didn't have a stench.
Sofi followed her into the kitchen and sat down on the table, holding her head to make sure it didn't explode, perhaps drinking all that much wasn't a very good idea.
"Here, drink it up Science Girl," she said, passing her over a mug of warm tea, a broth with the most delicious smell one could ever know. Coffee tasted better, but it sure wasn't gonna help as much as a cup of tea.
She gave no reply, practically trying to quench the headache inside of her, the pain was unbearable, but at least she didn't actually drink a bit more.
Dear Reader, Sofi was the type of gal who could drink a few bottles of whiskey and she'd think it to be fine, unfortunately, the day after...
Well, it tended to hit her harder than most.
A delicious smell filled the room as Ash took out the pancakes. These were the sort that had graced the hearths of so many homes in these parts: puffed, browned, and heavenly sweet. A taste of everything divine. If sweetness was a dish then it would probably be this.
"I don't have enough energy to actually get up and hug you, but god this is amazing," she grunted out, eyes closed as she tried to keep herself awake
"You better eat it! This was the last mix I had." Ash replied as she sat down next to Sofi and put a few pieces onto her own plate, not before covering them with a fuck load of syrup.
As all pancakes should be eaten of course.
