Chapter 45: Get Up

The sound of an alarm blaring pierced Carter's ears and he groaned as he blindly slapped at his nightstand, finding his phone missing. He swiped his hand across his nightstand and accidentally knocked the water glass down, spilling it all over the floor.

"Damnit." Carter groaned as he grabbed his head and felt the room spin. His head was still slightly fuzzy, and it throbbed. He laid there and let his alarm continue to incessantly echo through his room.

"Carter?" Ariana's voice filtered in among the chaotic beeping and she heard him curse again, as she walked back into the bedroom. "Carter?"

"Yeah?" Carter cleared his throat, as he kept his arm over his eyes.

"I packed all your stuff. I don't know how, but I did. Plus my stuff. Um... you need to get up. We got to go." Ariana's voice was frantic, and she was rushing around his room, pulling the blankets off of him.
