Untangle Me.

Danielle woke up the next morning to a horrendous headache and an empty bed. When she pulled the covers off of her naked body, she stumbled her way into the shower. She stood there letting the warm water destroy any evidence of John touching her body. Danielle felt filthy; she felt guilt and worst of all she felt used. When she walked back into her room with a towel wrapped around her body she found a note on her counter.

I didn’t make a dick move; I just promised my parents I would take my brothers shopping this morning. Last night was great – John.

Danielle couldn’t help but to smile, all those thoughts she had previously completely disappeared. When she walked out to see Amanda sitting there with a bowl of cereal on her lap, she was waiting to hear the shit she was about to get from her best friend.
Amanda heard the footsteps coming closer and when she turned around she could see

Danielle doing the walk of shame. Amanda couldn’t believe the noises she heard last night; she couldn’t believe that the deep groans and moans were coming from John. When she walked into the room this morning she got a glimpse of the two naked bodies laying in her bed, she couldn’t believe John actually had sex with Danielle. She thought John was more than an asshole when it came to Danielle, but she thought wrong.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning”, Danielle said as she walked into the kitchen to grab water from the fridge.

Amanda watched as her friend was flushed with guilt, she knew she made a mistake but
just didn’t want to admit it.

“Where are you going?”

“I have work.”

“I see”, Amanda said looking at the apron on her arm. “Where’s John?”

Danielle felt her face turn an extra red before whipping away at her naked face. “He left this morning.”

“I see”, she said simply before drinking from the bowl. “Next time could you guys not be so loud.”

Danielle was mortified but just rolled her eyes before letting out a laugh. Amanda waved her hands up and down as Danielle made her way to the door to get to work.
When she got to work she immediately regretted the cheap tequila. Her head was pounding and the smell of everything being cooked was making her nauseous. Throughout the day she wanted to kill the people around her. The rude older couple in the corner complaining that their chicken was overcooked, the kids running around as their parents did nothing and my bossy manager telling me that she had yet another table. We were understaffed so that meant she was going to be here all day.

“Table six left.”

Danielle looked over at my manager wondering what he wanted me to do about it until she noticed that they had not paid their bill. Danielle threw my head back as she made my way to the table, this was great. She picked up their empty plates before taking it to the back; she always hated it when people did this.

“You look like shit darling.”

Danielle looked over at Lorena before nodding my head. Lorena had to be about 40 and she was a sweetheart. She was the reason why I got the job; she liked my attitude so she hired me on the spot. She owned the small café but she was here every day with her husband who just so happen to be the cook.

“Rough night?”

“Oh yeah”, she said with a laugh,

“Hung over?”

Danielle nodded her head with a laugh before walking over to her table that was flagging her down. Throughout the day Danielle was reaching for her phone hoping and pray that in some way John would call her, hell she prayed he would at least text her but her hopes went crashing down every time she went to check her phone. At around seven o’clock she got a text from Amanda telling her that everyone was coming over to drink but all Danielle wanted to do was sleep.

“Bye honey”, Lorena said giving Danielle a hug. “I already separate the tips, so you can just go home.”

Danielle couldn’t help but to smile as she gave the lady one more hug and then rushing to her car. The quicker she drove the faster she was going to be home. When she got to her apartment complex she could hear the loud music being played as well as the yells.

Danielle didn’t really feel up to dealing with all of this but she just wish she could see his face. When she walked through the doors everyone yelled her name, clearly they were already drunk. Danielle just simply placed her hand up with a laugh before throwing her apron in the kitchen. She took a glance around and John was nowhere to be found so Danielle took a seat next to Garrett and Pat.

“Hey working girl”, Garrett said with a smile.

“Hi”, she said simply before resting her head on his shoulder. “I’m tired.”

“Take a nap.”

“Everyone’s too loud”, she said whining as Garrett wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“Blame it on the alc-alcohol.”

“You’re gay, you know that right?”

Garrett simply nodded his head with a laugh before agreeing with the girl. Garrett couldn’t help but to smile down at the girl who was cuddling into him.

Pat looked at the two and he could see the how much Garrett cared for Danielle, so he took it upon himself to get up and walked away from the couch to find Amanda sitting on the stool talking with Kennedy.

“What’s up Pat?”

“Just walked away from the potential love birds”, Pat said looking over at the two sitting on the couch cuddling into each other.

Amanda couldn’t help but to laugh. “Too bad her and John are something.”

The two boys stopped what they were doing to look over at Amanda with confused eyes. Amanda couldn’t help but to laugh as she stood mid sip to speak. “They had sex last night.”

“WHAT?!”

Amanda nodded her head as the two boys looked at each other before looking back at Amanda. They just simply shrugged, it was bound to happen. Usually in a small nit group the attracted girls tend to hook up with the attracted boys. That’s usually how it went everywhere. When you’re young and dumb, you do stupid things. Stupid things like sleeping with your best friend.

“Well John must be the biggest asshole on the earth.”

Amanda wondered what Kennedy meant as he stared at the door, that’s when Amanda’s eyes met her worst nightmare. She watched as John held hands with a pretty blond, her lips all over his neck. John was an asshole and her best friend was going to be hurt.

Garrett held on to Danielle holding her close as he rubbed her tired back. Her eyes were completely closed enjoying Garrett’s touch. When her big brown eyes fluttered open to meet his blue once he saw a smile on her lips, that all changed in a blink of an eyes. Suddenly Garrett was staring down at a hurt looking girl as she stared of in the opposite direction. That’s when he felt her get up and off of his body making her way to her room. When Garrett looked in the direction of what she was staring at she saw John and a pretty blond making out. Why do the girls always want the boy that’s no good for them?
