"What?" I asked when Jarrod stopped.
"I can't do this." he said.
"What?" I asked.
"Andy is my friend. I can't do this to him." He said.
"But he said-"
"I know. But when he told you to go find someone else, I'm guessing he didn't mean one of his old friends. I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay." I told him.
"I'm going to sleep on the floor." He said.
"No, you don't have to do that." I told him.
"Trust me, I do." He said, and laughed. He pulled off the top blanket, and took one of the pillows. I felt so disapointed, but I was trying not to act like it. He layed down on the floor and fell asleep right away. I rolled over and tried not to cry. I just felt lonely. And drunk plus lonely is a bad combination. I tried so hard to fall asleep, but I couldn't. I sighed and rolled out of bed, and got dressed. I decided to go see if I could find Elizabeth, or even Mikael. When I walked out of the room and went outside the party was winding down. There weren't many people left, and those that were left were mostly passed out or getting ready to. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find Elizabeth, Mikael or anyone I recognized. I sighed, and walked outside and sat down on the porch swing. I kept hearing people, and turning around hoping it was someone I knew, but everytime it was someone I didn't know and I would feel even worse. After a while I got up and walked back upstairs to see if I could hopefully get some sleep. When I walked in the room, Jarrod was awake.
"Where did you go?" He asked.
"I couldn't sleep." I told him.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay." I told him, and climbed into bed.
"Can you please sleep up here with me? I don't want to be alone." I told him.
"Of course." He said, and stood up. He got in bed with me, and I curled up with him.
"Thank you." I told him.
"I'm in so much trouble." He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Andy is not going to be thrilled when he finds out that I'm falling for his girl." He said.
"I'm not his girl anymore, remember?" I asked.
"Yeah, well I'm sure he wont feel that way." He said, and kissed my forehead.
"So, falling for me?" I asked, and he laughed.
"Yeah. I guess so." He said. We fell asleep soon after.

The next morning I woke up when the door opened.
"There you are!" Eliazbeth whispered.
"Hi." I said, holding my head and sitting up.
"I want to go." She whined.
"Okay. We can go." I told her, then leaned over and shook Jarrod. "Jarrod."
"huh?" He groaned and rolled over.
"Can we go now?" I asked.
"Huh?" He asked again, looking up at me. "Oh! Yeah." He said, and yawned.
"Whoa!" I said, turning away and pluggng my nose. He just laughed.
"Sorry." He said, and climbed out of bed. We got dressed and he dropped off me and Elizabeth. We both went right back to bed after taking some tylonol with a huge glass of water.
