Get Back On

Chapter 10

Maddie seemed to notice my struggle and came over. "I need to borrow your date for a minute." She grabbed my arm and dragged me away. "What's wrong?" I shrugged. "I keep calling him Jake." She smirked at me. "I knew you liked him." I scoffed. "I do not." She rolled her eyes. "Do you want to stay longer? It's just one." I looked around.

People were still dancing and drinking. Some people were passed out everywhere. "Yea we can stay for a little while longer." She handed me a bottle of beer and smirked. "Why quit now?" I tipped the bottle back and chugged it.

It was around 4 am when we decided to go home. Greg was the most soberest out of all of us, so he drove us home. Maddie, Ashton, and I all climbed out of the car. Maddie stumbled up to the front door and went inside while I hung back with Ashton. He pulled me into a drunken kiss and I pulled away. He grabbed my arms roughly. I winced knowing there will probably be bruises there tomorrow.

"Don't pull away from me." I glared and wiggled my way out of his grip. "Look here Ashton. I want nothing to do with you. And I swear if you lay one hand on me or even get near me, I'll fucking end you." He went to hit me but I blocked his punch and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. "Get the hell off my property."

I turned and stumbled into the house. It was dark and quiet, letting me know that everyone was asleep. I stumbled up the stairs to my room where Maddie was sprawled out on one side of the bed . Not bothering to change, I plopped down on the bed beside her and fell asleep. Damn, what a night.

................................................................

I woke up to pounding, only to realize it was in my damn head. I groaned and looked to see Maddie sprawled out beside me drooling. Then I felt it hit me. I ran to the bathroom and threw up all the alcohol from last night. I went back to my room and grabbed ripped light was jeans and a baseball tee. I hopped in the shower and scrubbed last night away. Once I was done I noticed bruises on my arms and groaned.

I went back into my room and shoved Maddie off the bed. She started cussing and i snickered. "Fuck you Sam." I winced at the screechiness of her voice. "We are going to the barn. So get your ass up." I left her to get dressed while I went downstairs. I went to the kitchen and poured a glass of orange juice and took some aleives. I set down out for Maddie as she stumbled down the stairs.

Her hair was in a messy bun and she was in jeans and one of her cheerleading tees. She took the medicine and downed the orange juice. "Come on." We grabbed our shades knowing that we would need them. I groaned when the sunlight hit us. "I'm never drinking again." She snickered. "You always say that."

We hopped in her car and she drove the little ways to the barn. We didn't listen to music because of our major headache. We pulled into the barn parking lot and I noticed there was a lot of people there. I got out and winced at the sun.

I walked slowly to the barn and to the tack room. Kate looked up and smiled. " No offense but you look like shit." I rolled my eyes under my shades. "Thanks." She laughed. "I need you to tack up Image and go down to the western ring with the boys. Mike was impressed with you so he wants the boys to push themselves." I nodded. Riding with a hangover is gonna be hell.

Maddie snickered probably thinking the same thing I did. I was to lazy to change out of my combat boots so I just left them on. Maddie didn't ride so she just decided to watch knowing if she didn't she would miss a good show. I grabbed Image's halter off the hook and went in her stall to put it on. I put her into crossties and quickly brushed her down while Maddie grabbed her tack.
