karoliena respects cassies wishes and stops trying to take her hand. karoliena then sighs. "i didnt want to hurt you either...i am so so sorry cassie. can you ever forgive me?" karoliena asks,letting the tears flow freely. she was in a lot of pain,but cassie not lashing out made karoliena see exactly what she was...a little girl. "you are right,cassie. i dont need you there.i just need you. " karoliena slowly reaches an arm out and touches cassies back. her cries making karoliena finally start full on crying. "last time we drink this much. ever" karoliena eeks out. her stomach didnt feel so good.

never in a million years would karoliena ever thought she would be in a physical fight with cassie. even a verbal one seemed pretty far fetched. karoliena wipes the tears from her eyes,the contact of her hand to her swollen eye causes the pain to shoot through her. she hadnt been on this end of an ass kicking since school. "shh shh,cassie. it isnt your fault. dont be sorry. this...this was all my doing." karoliena cries loudly. there they were. two whiny and bleeding drunks. perfect fodder for one of erica hess' PSA shows. karoliena turns away from cassie. utterly ashamed at what she has done to cassie. " i dont hate you,baby. i never could hate you. " karoliena gently runs her hand through cassies hair.which is still askew from the pulling earlier.

karoliena wants to comfort cassie,but didnt want to pry her off of her leg. she was upset enough,so karoliena settles with continuing to stroke her head softly. " thank you,cassie. i thought for sure you would hate me after what ive done to you." karoliena sniffles,tasting the mucus and blood as it goes down her throat. "you are not the worst girlfriend,i am. look at you!" karoliena finally looks at cassie...it was worse than she remembered. "cassie...i think we both need to sleep it off. right here on the floor. i cant climb the stairs. and if i cant,i know you cant. too drunk." karoliena says slurring. "i want to hold you...is that ok?"

karoliena cries and shakes her head. "cassie,if i was good for you...this wouldnt have happened. your poor little nose..."karoliena whispers while hovering her hand over the injured nose,but not actually touching it. "i will never leave you cassie....at least until you tell me to. no matter what. we are stuck together till we officially call it quits." hearing cassie beat herself up over this situation only serves to make karoliena feel worse about what she did. in her mind,she should be locked away for doing this to cassie. she carefully wraps her arms around cassie, she is too sore to give her a hug or a kiss. so she settles on just whispering to her, "i do love you cassie. lets never.ever do this again." she cries,shaking a little.

"i poked you,cassie. very hard with my finger." karoliena says,pouting her lip out painfully. "
its all on me. i love you too,cassie. with all my heart." she says,crying hard and openly.the idea of cassie being taken to jail is too much for karoliena. "you cant go to to jail. you are sweet and loving. they would kill you in there.i cant allow it." karoliena reaches for the phone." not unless i go too. i have to protect you in there." karoliena says,completely serious in this state of mind. she carefully tries to wipe the tears off her girlfriends face.

its karoliena's turn to shake her head. "beat me?! cassie,i think i am the the one who got the better of you. if anything,im the terrible one." karoliena holds cassie close and lightly kisses her cheek. "you arent evil,cassie. youre drunk and so am i.tomorrow we will laugh about this,i promise." karoliena tries to look into cassies eyes. "cassie,i am just as evil as you. probably more so. dark haired people are always evil. hitler had dark hair..." karoliena dials a number for cassie,it isnt the cops. its erich. the only number she can remember at the moment. "ok.there. talk to the cops." she says letting her head flop onto her chest. it was getting heavy.

karoliena smiles weakly down at cassie. in an odd way,loving her more in spite of all this mayhem. " cassie,you are not blameless. your poor nose,and your head from where i pulled your hair. you can take some blame,but only if you let me take half.its only fair,as i am your girlfriend." karoliena touches cassies hair,and compares it to her own. " dark,but still lighter than mine. i am more evil than you.so....you are just going to have to accept that." karoliena says,trying her best to rationalize this out. karoliena goes quiet as cassies is on the phone.

erich is..frankly sneaking a bit of acid. the phone ringing and a young girl asking for the cops only serves to freak him out. "um...yes? these sound like serious offenses. serious indeed.i say you should say 12 hail marys and recite the lords prayer. thank you for calling vatican police services. we put the lord in police work."

karoliena shakes her head."sorry,cassie. im older.i get more blame. thems the breaks,kid." she jokes.hoping that playing the age card will work.shes been drunk many times,and dealt with her share of drunks. mainly mean ones,the sad ones are kind of new to her. "really?" karoliena asks.rather surprised in spite of her foggy head. "it looks so...natural.you are always so pretty." karoliena gets this out right before cassie...gets what she needs to get out,all over the carpet. she instinctively holds cassies hair out of her face. "do we have a ground floor bathroom,i dont want you ruining your carpet.", karoliena asks,not remembering the layout of the house right now.


the bubbling of a bong is heard and erich coughing. "oh...is she alive? listen,i could send a squad car over there. handcuffs and nightstick anal violations all around. but do you really want that? shit,it works for little kids. say you are are sorry and make up. it is snowing out and i cant afford to send officers out there."

Karoliena awakes when she hears th howl from Cassie. She shoots up,ready to give someone the ass kicking of a lifetime.. When she sees it is just Cassie and her she calms slightly. She has a fuzzy recollection of the previous events;and cassie looks far worse than she remembers.," ugh...I feel like shit." She mumbles.

Karoliena sits up,swallowing to try to get the taste of stale liquor and blood out of her mouth. Cassie was a mess. The words "tore up from the floor up" came to mind. She winces in pain and moves her hand on top of Cassie's. " well...I remember going to the club..rolling around here on the floor with you..." Karoliena says softly. "We...fought...like..pphysically."
