It doesn't matter what you had for dinner!

[Amanda Nathan]

Amanda's Marquee pulled up to a Four Seasons. It pulled into a parking stall and the lights were turned off. The driver side door opened and Jade stepped out. She leaned against the car and sighed, combing her fingers through her. Was this the right thing for her to do? She was not sure and she thought about for a moment while biting her bottom lip a little. She finally decided that she came this far might as well finish what she started. She gathered her things and looked over to her passsenger. Amanda was out cold, snoring a little. She still had moist tears on her face as if she'd been crying the whole time. Jade put her right hand on her forehead and pouted the was no way she could carry an unconscious person to her room. She shook Amanda a little, waking her up. Amanda looked up and saw her. She looked around not remembering anything around her. She looked a Jade groggily.

Amanda: Where am I?

Jade: Just come on.

With that Jade helped her out of the car and lead her to the building. The doorman stood there and smiled at them as they approached.

Doorman: Good Evening ladies.

Jade gave him a half-hearted smile as he opened the door for them. She lead her half awake guest toward the elevator. Once inside Jade positioned Amanda against the wall so she could push the button and go up to the Penthouse floor. Amanda's eyes fluttered as she started to pass out again. Jade looked over at her and shook her again. Amanda jumped.

Amanda: Mmm...

Jade: Just a bit longer. I promise.

The elevator stopped a few times and people got on and off at mixed intervals. Once they reached the final stop, Jade lead Amanda out of the elevator and into the hall. Amanda looked at the floor the whole time as Jade pulled her arm, leading her forward. The reached a room on the right side of the hall. Jade dug through her stuff and found the key to the door while Amanda stood staring at the floor. Jade opened the door and gently pulled her inside. Amanda looked up and saw the room.



Amanda: Why couldn't the cheap bastards my dad take me to some place this nice?

Amanda went over to a chair and looked around mystified. She never seen a place so nice. She looked at Jade for a moment, trying to fight back a smile. As much as she hated to admit it, she appreciated what she was doing.

Amanda: Why are you doing this? I've done nothing, but treat you like dirt.

She awaited Jade's answer, silently still fighting back a smile.

Jade walked off for only a few minutes. She got the bedroom for it's new visitor, 4 advil in a little dish with a glass of water and then a bottle of water next to it. There was a trashcan next to the bed now. Once she was done she walked back out into the living space and looked at Amanda who was wobbling around while looking at the place.

"Come on love.. we've got to get you to bed."

Amanda swung around and Jade ran and caught her as she almost fell . Sighing Jade helped her back to her feet and then slowly started to walk with her towards the bedroom.

" I just don't understand why you are 'elping me. With everythin' 've done to you…"

Jade shook her head and helped Amanda sit on the bed and then walked over to a dresser pulling out a drawer. Picking out a big t-shirt she walked back over to Amanda and placed it on her lap.

"I'm hoping you are capable of putting this on yourself. I'm going to go get a couple of hand towels and one big towel, just incase things get a little hairy. I'll be right back, so please try to sober up a little bit. Drink some water and I'll bring in some coffee as well."

With that Jade patted Amanda on the head and then walked out of the room towards the laundry area and the kitchen. She had a long night a head of her and needed to stay a head of the drunkenness and the hang over, so she could save Amanda and herself a lot of grief.

Walking past the living space she started to hear something vibrate and an overly obnoxious song start to play. A cell phone..? It must've been Amanda's… but where did she drop it? Looking around Jade finally saw it and grabbed it quickly while. Placing it in her pocket as it stopped ringing, afterwards she walked off into the laundry room rubbing her head softly.

The Gorgeous Gambit was still unsure if what she was doing was the right thing as she gathered up the towels. She found three and headed back toward her bedroom and when she got back Amanda was already in the shirt she had given her and looking at herself in a mirror. The faces and poses that she was doing made Jade giggle. The sound made Amanda jump. She spun around and seen her fellow Brit and gave her a quick drunken smile. Amanda was not sure why she was helping her out, but she decided it was better to show appreciation than to found out the answer. Jade set the towels on the nightstand next to the bed.

Amanda: Thanks 'un. You 'ave no idea...

That was she could get out before a horrible feeling washed over her and she sprinted toward the trash can. The sounds she made were not the prettiest to come out of her mouth. After should had released all of her stomach contents she reached for a towel. She wiped her face, feeling more vulnerable now than she ever did.

Amanda: I'm such an idiot. I normally don't drink as much.

Jade just gave a look that said "I know". Amanda looked at her and the statement that followed shocked her and Jade both.

Amanda: 'un if it isn't too much to ask. I'm invading your 'ome and... Could you sleep in 'ere tonight?

She looked at Jade, who's jaw dropped from the question and awaited any response.

And with that she completely walked out of the room into the kitchen where she started on making some coffee. Closing her eyes Jade leaned against the counter and rubbed her face already exhausted from what was going on.

---------------------------------------

Amanda seeing that Jade looked appauled by the request slowly settled into the bed, drinking some water and taking a couple advil before closing her eyes and trying to sleep. Did she push it? She did.. take advantage of Jade's vulnerability back at GHW.. so maybe Jade was just being kind and that was all…. she didn't know.. she couldn't know.

---------------------------------------

After fifteen minutes went by Jade walked in with some warm hot chocolate and some coffee. She had placed both in thermoses and labeled both of them so if Amanda woke up she would know which one was which. Walking back into the room she put the thermoses down on the side table next to the waters and looked down at Amanda, it looked like she had already fallen asleep.

That was good… Jade finally sighed and walked into the bathroom, after grabbing something out of one of her drawers. Closing the door Jade ran the sink water and splashed some of it in her face while wiping off her make up and getting out of her clothes. Once she was fully undressed she felt so much better and slipped into her sleeping shorts and tank top.

Soon her hand was placed against the cool mirror in front of her, and Jade just stared at herself. Was she who she wanted to be… she was no where near stable and still too kind for her own good… she just didn't know what to do at this point. The Beautiful Brit closed her eyes and moved away from the mirror and towards the door, it looked like she was going to bed and she was sharing it with her drunken counterpart.

Jade turned off the light and moved out of the bathroom and towards the bed. She slid in on the other side and turned her back towards Amanda curling up under the covers.

"How… did my life get so bloody difficult?"

Jade groaned in a whisper while closing her eyes, this was going to be difficult for her, no matter what happened.

Amanda woke up one time that night. Just long enough to remind herself where she was and to see Jade laying on the other side of her. She was not sure what exactly lead to this situation. After checking to make sure they were both wearing something she sighed and layed back down. This was seeming to be a peaceful night of sleep. A first in awhile.
