         "Look at all the vodka you just wasted." Violeta quickly looked up at Rosa, her face reddening. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean-" she instead trailed off when Rosa leaned down to help her up. She took her hand and pulled herself up, still feeling a throbbing pain in her wrist. She wondered if she had done something to injure it in the fall. Rosa began to lead her across the room, to the bathroom. Violeta was a bit confused, but more than anything, she was completely shocked when they found a guy and a girl, who wasn't even wearing a top, making out. Violeta gulped and quickly diverted her eyes to the ground, taking a few steps back.
"Out, now." she heard Rosa tell them, and interestingly enough, the two of them left immediately without a word. Once they were gone, Violeta looked to Rosa for some explanation as to why Rosa brought her here. Instead of explaining a thing, Rosa, took off her shirt, put on a different one, and then tossed her original shirt to Violeta. Violeta caught it but still watched Rosa with confusion.
"Alright, clean yourself up and put this on." Rosa told her. Violeta nodded a couple times, uncertainly, as she clutched the shirt against her chest. Rosa fixed her makeup in the mirror, then headed for the door, but before leaving, looked back at Violeta. "And you know, just kind of stay here, I'll only be a moment."
Giving a few quick nods, Violeta thanked her sheepishly and then sat down against the wall, pulling her knees to her chest. She let out a heavy, troubled sigh, wondering if her whole school year would play out like this. If so, she was better off back at home.
A few minutes later, sound of the bathroom door opening caused her to look up. She saw Emmy, her roommate step in. Feeling embarrassed to be found sitting on the bathroom floor, she quickly got to her feet and was about to apologize and excuse herself, but what Emmy said took her by surprise.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry sweetie, can I get you anything..." Violeta's face burned from humiliation. She didn't know what she needed at the moment, but she didn't want to be a burden on her roommates. "No... I really am fine, I don't-" She stopped talking when Emmy opened her mouth to speak again.
"Sweetie why don't you take a hot shower, I'll bring some of my soaps and stuff in and I'll go take care of the party."
Violeta was humiliated, and she really wanted to tell her new roommate not to worry about it, that the party didn't have to go anywhere just cause of her. But before she could say another word, Emmy had left.
On the other side of the bathroom door, she could hear the commotion of Emmy yelling at everyone to leave, followed by complaints of all the party goers. Violeta sighed, hating the feeling of causing all this trouble.
It wasn't long before Emmy came back into the washroom and handed her some shower stuff, saying "Here you go, it will be quieted down when you come out, only a few people are staying."
Violeta gave her a smile to show her appreciation, "I can't thank you enough. I really appreciate it, thank you." After Emmy left, Violeta peeled off her Vodka soaked top and then stripped off the rest of her clothes and hopped in the shower. She turned on the water and closed her eyes in relaxation, savoring the feeling of the hot water.
