When she saw his face, she thought that she was hallucinating. She reached her hand out and touched his face.
"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 immediately held her hand so that she stopped hitting herself.
"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 time don'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... Let me think ... 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.
