\u201cDon\u2019t tell her anything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Bonnie woke up feeling foggy, but at least her head wasn\u2019t pounding. Before she even figured out where she was, the sound of running water drifted from the bathroom. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her mind. She realized she\u2019d completely blacked out, but the memories from before she started drinking still lingered.<\/p>\n
There had been all that online drama, angry fans, and then someone actually attacking her on the street. The image of that person\u2019s back flashed through her mind. Now her head finally started to ache.<\/p>\n
She sat up and rubbed her temples, glancing around. The coffee table and sofa looked freshly cleaned, which surprised her. Her voice came out scratchy. \u201cHelen? What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
Honestly, she never expected to see Helen up early, let alone cleaning her apartment. In the dorm, it was always Bonnie who tidied up after her.<\/p>\n
She was still thinking about it when someone stepped out of the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Bonnie stared, caught off guard. \u201cAiken? Why are you here? When did you even get in? Did you clean up?\u201d<\/p>\n
Aiken wiped his hands, walked over, and crouched beside her bed with a tired grin. \u201cYou really don\u2019t remember anything after last night?\u201d<\/p>\n
She felt her cheeks warm. \u201cI don\u2019t usually drink. I think I totally blacked out. My mind\u2019s just empty. Where did everyone else go?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey left,\u201d Aiken answered softly, not quite meeting her eyes. \u201cCome on, get up. I made some porridge for you. Drinking always messes with your stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie nodded, reluctantly dragging herself out of bed.<\/p>\n
After washing up, she reached for her phone but noticed something dark at the corner of the nightstand. She was just about to check it out when Aiken showed up with her breakfast and set it on the coffee table.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe trending news online has been mostly pushed down. Yesterday, another colleague of mine got in touch with Hannah too.\u201d<\/p>\n
That got her attention. \u201cWhat did Hannah say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHannah has her own lawyer. Officially, she claims the fans acted on their own, nothing to do with her. But she\u2019s planning to say something online to calm things down. You should check it out\u2014she posted an update this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie didn\u2019t want to put pressure on him. She nodded and sat down for breakfast with Aiken.<\/p>\n
As she ate, little flashes of memory kept popping up. She wasn\u2019t sure if they were memories from being drunk or just strange dreams from the night before. Everything felt off, as if the night hadn\u2019t really happened.<\/p>\n
She absentmindedly touched her hair by her left temple. It felt a little damp, like she\u2019d been caught in the rain. Out of nowhere, a line floated through her mind.<\/p>\n
Lawrence, my apartment\u2019s leaking.<\/p>\n
She shook her head, convincing herself she must have dreamed it after passing out. With Helen and the others around, Lawrence showing up made no sense.<\/p>\n
Bonnie finished her breakfast quietly. Her stomach felt so much better that she almost felt normal again.<\/p>\n
She got up to handle the dishes, but Aiken was already at the sink. Watching him, she suddenly remembered the small gift she had picked out for him. When Aiken finished and started drying his hands, Bonnie called over, \u201cAiken, there\u2019s a bag on the table by the door. That\u2019s for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-855","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
