Location: Pat's apartment then Riley's B&B
It was late morning and Pat was still up and about, at least barely. Today was an awful day for her. Not only was she drunk off her arse, but today was her birthday. The proud day she turns 30. Less than a year ago she thought she would be married by her 30th birthday. That was her plan at least. Married to the man of her life.
She took another swig from her bottle.
"Alone on my birthday.....woo..fucking...hoo..." She wondered what her mother would say to her now. Probably something in the lines of told you so. I told you that man was no good. I told you he'd break your heart.
"Well thank you mom!" she shouted into the air with a slurred voice.
Pat started sobbing as she was feeling lonely. She just wanted someone to love, someone to share her life with. Pat groaned as the alcohol was doing it's dirty work on her body. She was feeling quite bad, sick. She had never been this drunk before.
She was also hungry, like, really hungry. She knew that she would not be able to make anything herself and got up from her seat and walked out the door on stumbling legs. She started walking towards the closest place where she could pick up some food while being dressed in her casual clothes.
As Pat walked she grew more and more sober as her legs started carrying her. It did not remove her headache or dizziness though, and her hunger grew further.
"Riley's.....that'll have to do...the kids should be out for their trip now anyway..." she said to no one particular.
"Shit..." The kids were still here... Well, too late now... She smiled at the teens before slowly opening the doors
"Hai Sarah, Seth. Would you mind making me some of your delicious breakfast? Anything will do, as long as extra strong coffee is included." Pat had a haggard look about her as she sat down and held her head in her hands. She wanted this day to be other with already, but she had work to do. School was soon going to start again. This was her last week of free time before she had to start working again.
Soon it was time for meetings with staff, new employees, new rules, learning new textbooks and more. While she did look forwards to it, this bit of time off had been nice as well. Pat turned her gaze towards the teens and smiled softly. It was nice being young...
