Chapter Text
Ali woke up to her head pounding. She laid there continuously blinking.. Open. Shut. Open. Shut. Once she could stand to keep her eyes open for a moment she slowly began to look around. “Where am I and what happened last night?” She asked out loud to no one but herself. As her eyes scanned the room she realized she was in a dorm room. Once she realized she was in a dorm she looked down at herself. There was a black and grey comforter covering her body and the sheets were a dark charcoal grey. She lifted the cover, just a little -afraid to see what she was in. She has a UNC baby blue t-shirt on that said Tarheels Soccer on the front and a pair of black Nike basketball shorts. “Oh god.. I slept with a soccer player…”.
Not a minute later she heard a familiar voice outside the door of the room she was in. “Heather..”.
As the sound of Heather’s voice echoed in her ear memories started to flood back to her. Yesterday she had driven down to UNC to visit her best friend Heather for the weekend. She had arrived at UNC around 9:00 Friday night. She had only stopped at Heather’s dorm for a minute to throw down her bags and change for the night festivities.

“Heather!!!!” Ali yelled as she vacated her car and ran towards her best friend.
“I'm so excited you are here Ali!” Heather said as she embraced her friend in a hug.
“Let's run up to my dorm, get changed, and then we can head out for the night. The soccer teams are having a combined party tonight so it should be awesome!”
Ali followed Heather up the stairs and down the hall to the room.
“Kriegs, you can just throw your bag wherever.”
Ali threw her bag down, grabbed clothes out of it and headed to the bathroom to change.
“Where's your roommate Heather?”
“Oh, Ashlyn is probably already out. She was helping Tobin and Whitney tonight since they are hosting. You'll meet her later.”
Ali and Heather started to pregame a little before leaving the dorm in order to not be too behind once they arrived at the party.
Once Ali and Heather arrived, Ali was introduced to tons of people. There were soccer players from both teams, some basketball players, and a ton of other people. She'd be lucky to try and remember who anyone was. One thing led to another and Ali was slugging back shots with different groups of people. Ali was normally pretty conservative, but once the drinks started coming she never knew what would happen next. Shot after shot was slammed back which turned into Ali stumbling down the hall of the dorm apartment looking for a bathroom. She went to open the door which appeared to be locked but she was too drunk to realize that meant she should stop trying to open it. A moment later the woman in the bathroom walked out about to yell at the person waiting for a little patience but as she opened the door she recognized Ali.
“Ali! Are you ok?”
Ali just looked at the girl inquisitively.
“Oh, sorry.. I'm Ashlyn. Heather’s roommate.” She proceeded to see when she saw the blank stare.
“Gonna puke!” Was all Ali had time to say before she nearly pushed Ashlyn over to get to the toilet.
Ashlyn immediately followed her, closing and locking the bathroom door to give the brunette privacy. Ashlyn knelt down next to the girl and began pulling her long brown hair back and tied it in a pony tail using the elastic on her wrist. Once Ali seemed to break for air Ashlyn slid a water bottle out of her back pocket, opened it, and gave it to Ali.
“Why don't we head back to the room” Ashlyn said as Ali stood up and immediately stumbled drunk into Ashlyn's arms.
Ashlyn managed to get Ali to jump on her back as she walked out of the bathroom. Ashlyn made eye contact with Heather from across the room and she ran over.
“Oh my god! Is she ok?”
“She just threw up so now she's a little out of it, I will carry her back to the room and make sure she's ok.” Ashlyn said as she repeatedly tried to move Ali’s wondering hands from the collar of her shirt.
“Ashlyn, no I can take her. Just.. um.. can you carry her because I don't think I can” Heather said quietly chuckling at Ali's drunken state and Ashlyn now holding her hand with one hand to stop them from moving and the other behind her holding Ali on her back.
“Heather, just stay with Dave and meet us back in the room in a bit. I got this.” Ashlyn said as she began to head to the door.
Ashlyn made it back to her dorm building. Ali had fallen asleep on Ashlyn’s back and was now full dead weight on Ashlyn’s back. Ashlyn took both hands behind her under Ali’s legs and adjusted her positioning higher as she began to truck up the stairs. When Ashlyn finally got to her room she slowly put Ali down onto her bed. She didn't know what sleeping arrangements they had decided on, but she figured she could just sleep in the couch for the night. As Ashlyn turned back from flipping on the light Ali was sitting up on Ashlyn’s bed with no shirt and in attempt to take her pants off.
“Ali… what are you doing?” Ashlyn said trying to avert her eyes from the beautiful girl on her bed. Ashlyn looked up and closed her eyes trying not to cross any lines, but yet she was in awe of how beautiful Ali was. She has a tan toned body and she was breathtaking to Ashlyn.
“I can't get these pants off..” Ali said as she rolled around on the bed trying to get her pants to slide down her legs. “Help me!” Ali whined.
Ashlyn walked over to the bed and carefully knelt in front of Ali and helped her shimmy her tight black skinny jeans down her legs. Ashlyn got up trying to keep composure and walked over to her dresser to grab a change of clothes and attempted to turn off the light and turned to leave the room.
“No! Don't go!” Ali whined as she started to try to get up again.
“Let me get you a water.”Ashlyn said as she put her clothes down and then left the room to go grab a bottle of water hoping to sober Ali up at least enough to be able to lay down and sleep for a while. When Ashlyn returned Ali was sleeping on her stomach on the bed in the clothes Ashlyn had put down for herself with half her body under the comforter, her right leg and arm hanging off the bed and puke on her floor next to the bed.
Ashlyn sighed as she walked back out to the living room area of the dorm apartment to grab cleaning supplies. As she walked out Heather and Dave were coming in the door. Heather immediately noticed the cleaning supplies in Ashlyn’s hands.
“Oh my god Ashlyn what happened? I knew I should have come back with her. Where is she? I'm so sorry you don't even know her. I should have just left. Let me take -“
Ashlyn held her hand up to pause Heather. “It's fine, I will clean up and I will sleep on the couch. It's no big deal.”
Heather sent Dave to her room and followed behind Ashlyn. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how pathetic Ali looked just hanging off the bed with the blanket sprawled on her. Ashlyn got down on the floor, picked everything up, put a trash bucket by the head of the bed and used her strength to move Ali all the way on the bed and tucked her completely in. She then vacated the room and when to the couch.
“I really appreciate what you did for her.” Heather whispered as she walked from the kitchen wither own water.
***
Ali could only remember going to the party and taking shots. She could not remember how she got back to the bed she was currently in. She laid there trying to wrack her brain about last night. Ali wasn't typically a party girl nor had she ever woke up in someone's bed and not known how she got there. She had been going through a rough time while her parents were going through a divorce which is why she had drove down to visit Heather for the weekend.
