“Oh, Lola. You don’t look so good,” Jane says as she sets her laptop
down beside me, pulling me from my hungover pity party. I force
myself to sit up and immediately regret it when the light hits me
again. The pounding in my skull only intensifies, and nausea rolls in my
stomach. Both of these feelings make me wish I had called in sick instead
of subjecting myself to sitting at Travel Bug Magazine’s headquarters
feeling like hell.
“Good, then I look exactly how I feel.”
Never in my life have I shown up hungover to work, but unfortunately,
there’s a first time for everything, and today is my first time wanting to glue
my eyes shut and take a nap under a table for a minimum of eleven hours.
The worst part is, I wasn’t even out with friends, or dancing at a club, or
doing anything to enjoy my youth. I accidentally got wine drunk on the
floor of my apartment while I was going through the last few boxes of my
dad’s things.
I’d been ignoring sifting through his belongings since that sudden heart
attack four months ago, but the wine told me that maybe it would be a good
idea to finally get it over with. When I unearthed a box of clothes that still
smelled like him, the sobbing started. When I found his old journals and
photo albums, one glass turned to entirely into too many.
And now here I sit, in a too-hot glass conference room, surrounded by
the chatting of my competitive coworkers while I fight for my life under the
too-bright fluorescent lights.
My dad worked so hard his entire life that if he saw me here, struggling
to not throw up on the table, he would really give me an earful. I wish he
still could.
My best friend studies me, her blue eyes soft with concern as she settles
into the black swivel chair, flipping open her laptop and typing on the
keyboard. “Fun night last night?” she asks like she’s trying to figure out if I
finally left my depression den to go out without her, but we both know I
was comfortably in bed by nine-thirty p.m. as always.
“I wish,” I mutter.
Jane frowns at me. “I’d say we can have a redo tonight, but I think it
might kill you.”
I suck in a breath of air, hoping it might rejuvenate me but immediately
regret it when another wave of nausea sweeps over me. I groan, resting my
head on the cool mahogany table.
“It would absolutely kill me.”
“Hey, did you hear about Justin?” Jane whispers.
I whip my head up, the curiosity stronger than the splitting pain caused
by the swift movement. The room spins a little. I brace my hands on the
tabletop to steady myself.
“What happened to Justin?” I finally ask.
Jane subtly scopes out the room, taking in the rest of the writing staff
whispering amongst each other. She leans in and conspiratorially whispers,
“He got fired yesterday. But I guess he’s telling everyone he quit.”
“No one ever leaves Travel Bug,” I mutter as the words sink in.
