12 Apology and Message.

*Mc pov*

I felt my headache like two stones were grinding inside of my head. I woke up to a blinding light. I don't remember my room or the one in underground have window. So I looked around and found that I was in a new room. I slowly remembered bits and pieces of what happened.

After disposing the body, we went to komiko and Arora's apartment. Then we went to a pub recommend by Arora, ugh my head is aching so bad. Then I don't remember anything.

I slowly get up from where I was sleeping. I picked up my jacket and searched my pockets to find the extension pouch. Thank god, I also found my blasters.

It seems I slept in a couch, that's not a very drunken thing to do. Two things that usually go wrong during an hangover, wake up in the house of a serial killer or wake up next to a colleague that you just had drunken s*x with.

I don't want both to happen. I don't want be killed and I don't want to ruin the friendship that I developed these days. I looked around to find out that I was in the girl's apartment. Damnit I don't want this to happen.

I looked at my comms to find out that it was already 7:30. Oh no I'm late to my job. I just pick up myself and run as fast as I can to the bathroom. I got a quick shower and brushed my tooth. Then took off to Mardo's. The only good thing is the girl's apartment is only 15 minutes walk away from the Bar. I ran like my life depended on it.

I reached the bar at 7:45. Safe. I'm 15 minutes early, I was feeling a little happy but suddenly I remembered something. Wait a minute, I don't work on shifts, it's Komiko and Arora who works on shifts.'

'I could have took my time. Sh*t. Anyway, I'm here, I'll just go and have breakfast and ask the lady warriors what happened yesterday.' I went to the cafeteria and had a lot of food and drank a very sour fruit drink to wake up from my hangover. But the headache was still there.

"I must have drunk loads of alcohol huh?"

Then I went towards the pub to meet the girls to ask about the situation. The bar was busy as usual, So I just went to the counter and sat at the corner stool and held my head.

Both Komiko just noticed me and started laughing,

"Oh my god, what did I do?"

Komiko then asked me,

"Are you okay Justin? Do you still feel pain in your head?"

"Yeah, it hurts like hell, what did I drink?"

Arora looked at me with eyes that said 'are you serious?'

I just asked not wanting to be in the dark,

"What happened, why are you looking like that Arora? Did I do something wrong yesterday?"

As soon as I asked it Arora just left to attend the customers.

I looked at komiko for answers,

"So which version do you want? The beautiful lie or funny truth?"

So something happened. I wanted to find out what.

"Tell me the ugly truth, I'll take it with all my strength."

"Oh, it's not ugly alright. It's just funny,hehe. So which part do you not remember?"

"Everything. I don't remember anything after we entered that pub. Could please be honest with me, so that I could make up if I did something wrong."

"Sure, I'll try. So it went like this, we went to the pub and went to the counter and started ordering drinks. At first you were reluctant to get drunk but eventually you gave up and went full on drainage mode. You just flushed alcohol into your mouth like there was no tomorrow. After a lot of bottles later you started to sob..-.."

"Stop right there, did you just say that I cried? No way. No f*cking way I did that."

To which Komiko just shrugged her shoulder and continued,

"You wanted me to tell you the truth and I'm doing just that. Whether you believe me or not it's up to you. Anyway, we heard you sob and we helped you sit straight and asked anything that's bothering you. You said that you missed your family very much and wanted a chance to see them again atleast once. Sorry for your loss."

'Damn, I was all messed up yesterday huh.' I didn't correct her and let her continue.

"Then Arora wanted you to cheer up, so she tried to take you to the dance floor. As she was helping you get up but you suddenly looked deep into her eyes and took hold of her face with both of you hand." I don't like one bit where this is going. She continued narrating,

"Then you said 'hey Tiera is that you, you look beautiful as always' Waah, it was so romantic-.." No, it's not romantic at all, it sounds like horror to me.

"It would have been romantic, only if you could have got the girls name correct." As she said that she narrowed her eyes. I don't know what to say anymore, I didn't disturb her and let her continue.

"This is the most fun part, all of a sudden you started kissing Arora saying that you love Tiera. It was so funny, you should have looked at her face, she was livid. She just broke away from you and gave you an axe kick to your head and you blacked out. This the whole truth. Happy?"

Why the hell did I want to know the truth. Stupid brain, stupid brain. I should have shut my mouth and should have forgotten those things. I was all like 'I'm gonna solve the problems I caused because I'm a responsible adult. F* responsibilities. F* my past self. Ugh.

I just sat there with my hands supporting my bowed head. I don't want to look at both of them, I really want to dig a hole and hide but I came to a reasoning. I can't act anymore shameless than I already did and ignore the matter.

"Thank you, Komiko for telling me all this. And really sorry for the trouble I have cause. To be honest, I don't want this all to be real but sigh.. Okay then, I have a person to apologise."

Komiko just said "it's fine. Off you go." And that's what I did. I went straight to Arora, i whole heatedly do not want to do this but I need to. I get near her and called her,

"Hey Arora, I'm sorry for what happened. I don't expect you to forgive me but atleast hear me out. I'm just explaining myself after what happened. This is the least I can do."

I looked at her and she did the same. Then she tilted her head to the side and looked at Komiko and asked "Komi, can I take 5?"

To which komiko looked at me and then gave her acknowledgment to Arora , "yeah, sure."

Then Arora dragged me into the backside of the bar. We went to a secluded corner. She then stood leaning on the wall with one leg on the wall and hands folded. Damn she even set up mood and place for an interrogation.

"First of all I'm sorry. It's not appropriate for me to do that even under influence. Second of all it seems that, all that drinking led me to my melting point and just broke me down. That's an unsightly behaviour on my behalf. It was recently that I lost everything I loved, so that's the reason. I'm really sorry."

All while Arora looked at my face and analysed whether I was lying about anything. Seeing that I was genuine, she just sighed,

"I'm sorry for your loss. It's not like I have already forgiven you. It's just I can sympathise with your situation and I'll let you off the hook. Nothing like this should even happen between us, got it?"

"I swear, it won't happen again. I'll make it up to you, I promise. If there is anything I can do to appease your anger, I'll try my best to do it."

"Hmm, anything right. I want three things to be done by you but before that who is Tiera?" As she asked she, I just remembered a beautiful face that always brings me peace every time she smiles at me. God I miss her.

"She is my girlfriend, you can say was my girlfriend, because I can't be with her anymore."

"By any chance do I look like her?"

"No, not at all. Maybe I mistook you for her because I was drunk. I'm really sorry." She really didn't look like my girlfriend.

"Is that so, it's fine then. So the first thing I want you to do is pay for yesterday's tab. As for second and third I'll tell you later when something comes up. Now it's in reserve."

"Fine, how much did it cost?"

"It's 1300 credits."

Saying I was shocked would be understatement. Was absolutely terrified hearing that number.

"What did we drink? A god's blood?"

"Mind you, the 800 of the 1300 was you. We tried to stop you but You were all like, 'hey, nothing can stop me I'm all the way up' and did a weird pose with your body. It was all you by the way."

Shit. I shouldn't have asked. I'm f*cking embarrassed. 'What all the way up you f*ucking moron.'

"I'm terribly sorry, I don't want to remember anymore of my shameless behaviour from yesterday. Here I'll send you the credits."

I sent those damn credits and looked at my balance. It was pitiful 300 credits. Damn, I'll have to be prudent with money for a while. After this I looked at Arora and started walking away. I can't stand this anymore I want some me time.

"Sorry for all this and thank you for trying to cheer me up. You don't even know how much that means to me. Thank you." I thanked her as I was walking away. Maybe I mistook er for Tiera because she would always be there for me whenever I'm sad or not feeling myself. I wanted to spend rest of my life with her. Damn why did all these things happened to me.

'I miss you Tiera. I really really miss you. If there is a chance I really want to give up everything I have now to trade for my previous life with you. I hope you miss me too but I want you to find your own happiness.'

'If any of the gods hearing could you please help me and pass this message to her. She deserves to happy. Much happier than anyone in this world.'

I wiped my tears as I walked towards my workspace. It's been a long day already and it just started.
