"You're up?" Elliot said hoarsely.
Hearing his voice, she was scared out of her wits.
"My... my head hurts. Elliot, my head hurts!" Avery slapped her own head, trying to relieve herself of the pain.

"Elliot, when your head hurt, was it like that?" Avery gasped and furrowed her brows tightly.
"Why did you drink so much when you can't drink?" Elliot sighed helplessly. "Next tdon't drink." "But I see other people drinking and I want to drink..." Avery rubbed her temples. She paused in every sentence. "Elliot, I think I have something to say to you... Letthink... I suddenly forgot..." Elliot looked at her drunk and suffering, and his heart broke.
"Slowly think, don't worry." He gripped her hand and patiently waited for her.
"Elliot, what did I want to say..." Avery gasped. The more she tried to remember, the more she could not. "I had something very important to say to you... It's true. I really have something important to say to you... but I suddenly can't remember..." Avery kept muttering. The more she spoke, the more panicked she grew. In the end, she started sobbing. She sobbed uncontrollably.
If she still had any sense of reason in her, she would be able to control herself so that she did not show Elliot her grief.
She had held on so long. She could have continued holding on. However, at that moment, the alcohol had controlled her consciousness, and she lost control of her words and actions.
Elliot saw her sobbing. His tears fell in disappointment too. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he could not say a single word.
Through her blurry sight, she saw that he seemed to be crying too. Thus, she pulled his arm and struggled to sit up.
Elliot, don't cry. Seeing you cry, my heart is breaking into pieces." Avery seemed to sober up a little. She buried herself in his arms and wiped way her tears on his shirt. "I was crying because I was angry at nyself for drinking too much until I can't remember what I wanted to ay, so I panicked... It has nothing to lo with you. It really has nothing to lo with you..." >wShe was drunk, yet she was still worried he would realize that she was so sad because of him.

She leaned against his chest, st smelling his familiar scent. Her heart slowly calmed down. "Elliot, hug me. I want you to hug me. I'm really tired..." He obeyed and hugged her.
She was instantly satisfied and closed her eyes, falling soundly asleep in his arms.
Two hours later, Mike and Hayden returned home.
Chad and Elliot were sitting in the hall. It looked like they were waiting for them.
"Chad, why are you here? Since when did you cover? Why didn't you say something?" Mike complained, "Where is Avery? Is she not back yet? I saw Wilson smoking outside!" Chad said, "Avery is drunk. She is sleeping in her room. I cover to pick Mr. Foster up." "Drunk?" Mike raised his eyebrow. "Why is she drunk? Also, where are you taking Elliot to?" "I'm taking him to a social function. We'll be back in about two days," Chad said without any expressions on his face. "If Avery is up, just tell her that." "Oh, why so sudden?" Mike scratched his head and looked at Elliot. "Can't you wait for her to wake up before telling her?" "She has to attend Dean's wedding tomorrow. She doesn't have the tto accompany me," Elliot replied.
His reply was flawless.
"I see!" Mike accepted his explanation but was a little worried. "But, why are you suddenly attending a social function? With your body, can you do it?" Elliot's gaze landed on Hayden. He was not listening to Mike at all.
He waited until that moment just to see his son one last time.
