Andy & Rachel’s hotel

——–Andy——–

I couldn’t sleep for trying so gave up and was watching telly in my lonely hotel room when my cell rang at nearly four in the morning. My heart lifted as I heard a familiar English accent that made me feel at home.

I was soon unsettled again as I was summoned to go right now to Bette and Tina’s house where she would be waiting. I was sad when I had to tell her that Rachel would not come because she had gone out and I had no idea where she was, and at the time it was a relief to have some time where I did not have to be there supporting her but I did not say this part out loud.

Bette phoned and I said I would do my best to find the woman they were looking for. As it turned out it did not take long to find her. She was with Jenny, Alice, Dana, Shane and Carmen. They were on a rare night out having left the children with Mark and his new young wife for the night. I didn’t even have to ask them I knew it was she from Bette’s description over the phone.

A recruited Shane to help me as I could see the woman was clearly very drunk and had no intention of leaving. We walked over and Shane told her what Bette had told me and to my surprise she agreed to accompany me to Bette’s house.

Then she tried to stand and she keeled straight over flipping the table in the process. While we were all trying to get her upright no one noticed that the table had in fact hit Alice square in the face and she was now holding her nose with blood pouring down her chin.

It was chaos and I had to get a member of staff to take a very pale Alice along with Dana to the emergency room. I prayed to god that it was as urgent as Bette implied to get this woman home. Looking at her I had no clue what they thought they would achieve with her tonight. She was barley awake as Shane and I held her up on the journey over.
