My head is about to explode. It hurts more with the slightest movement. I cannot even bring myself to open my eyes. I let out a groan as I bury my head in the pillows. Memories of last night flood my mind and they're enough to make me wish I could disappear.

With all the power I have in me, I do my best to open my eyes. When I do so, I find a glass of water on my nightstand. I push myself up and find two pills beside the glass of water.

Silas. He must be the one who has left them for me. I find myself remembering the time I took care of him when he called me while being drunk at a party. Memories are easily coming back to me and I'm not sure if they can be considered a blessing or a curse now. I called Knox last night, but Silas showed up instead. I'm embarrassed that he saw me in that state. I always hear people say that when they wake up after getting drunk, they usually don't remember anything, but I do. I remember a lot of things. It's like my memory is intensively active now.

He was so gentle with me last night.

Who am I kidding? Silas has always been gentle with me.

The way he played with my hair made me think of the memory I had of him at the team's house. When I first remembered how he was with me at the team's house, I thought I was hallucinating, but I did ask him about it last night and he confirmed that my mind wasn't playing tricks on me.

Couldn't these memories have gotten back to me sooner? Had I remembered earlier, I would have never let him go.

I take the pills and force myself to get out of bed. I walk to the bathroom and slightly gasp when I look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm still in my last night's clothes and my make-up is a mess. I look like death. Washing my face is not enough to make me feel clean and refreshed. I need to take a shower. I take off into the cabin to wash the traces of last night off.
