Entangled with Two Rulers

I blinked my eyes, groaning as I sat up. The lights were too bright, so I closed my eyes again and pressed my hands over them and my pounding head. I felt worse than I had two mornings ago when I woke up with a fever.


"Good morning, sunshine," came Jasper's voice from beside me, sounding much too loud in the silence of the room.


I shielded my eyes slightly before opening them and staring at my brother.


"Shitty," I croaked out. "What happened? Where am I?"


I tried to look around more and saw that I was sitting on the floor in Jasper's room. There was a blanket thrown over me, and I was still in the same clothes as the day before.


"Well, when you didn't come home from your walk, I went looking for you," Jasper began to explain. "I found you not far away, but you were wasted. Do you not remember anything?"
