“I know. Jenny went to fetch Bernie’s car so we can take care of you.”
“Car? Our dorm is right there.” I pointed across the street. “Can’t you guys just walk me home? And isn’t Jenny drunk?”
“She’s not, actually. Stopped drinking hours ago to drive Bernie home. A first, I know.” Gemma cracked a feeble smile, lowering my arm. “Don’t wear yourself out.” She avoided my eyes.
“You’re taking me to the hospital, aren’t you?”
She shrugged, suddenly interested in the dark buildings across the street. Most students had already skedaddled after finishing final exams, and the town was eerily quiet.
“I don’t need to go,” I whispered.
Gem looked into my eyes. “The fact that you aren’t pitching more of a fit says otherwise.” She scrunched her face, trying to seem supportive or possibly preparing for an outburst.
I groaned. “I just finished finals and have been drinking for hours. I’m exhausted. I don’t want to go.”
She studied me with determined eyes.
“If you take me to the hospital, please do me one favor. Don’t call my mom. How can I explain I was drunk and walked in front of a hobbit?”
She nodded slightly, staring into the inky night.
“Look at me. Don’t call my mom. She’s the last person I want to see tonight.”
“I promise I won’t call your mom.” She uttered each word with excruciating slowness.
