I could hear voices. Low and monotonous. Going on and one about something... subject? Testing... it didn't make any sense. Then again I barely had any recollection of the last few events that happened. I recalled feeling euphoric and flooded with power. Obviously Tucker and Amy had enough of me and opted to cut me loose.

There was something about this girl. She seemed to counter all the effects that the succubus tried to throw at me. Her smile found a way to get to me, and wake me up enough to keep me from falling unconcious on the spot. I didn't want to embarass myself in front of her any more then I had, so I forced myself to stop complaining, and focus more on just being myself. At least until I got back to the dorms and finally fell asleep.

We didn't need to say anything to each other, as we walked to the garage for a car. Just a smile between friends and teamates was enough to tide us over during the car ride back to the Frat house. I forced myself to continue chatting, about the events of the day most of my banter was rambling and probably made no sense- but I had to do it to keep awake.

Thank the Lord the ride wasn't all that long. We were pulling up to the curb, and I should have been moving, should have been opening the door and stepping out of the car by now. Why wasn't I moving? I coughed to clear my throat and smiled back at Bailey. "Thanks for taking care of me tonight." I said to her. I had to let her know that I cared for all she'd done when she hadn't had to.

My hand longed to reach out and touch her shoulder, or her cheek, or her hand, but I kept it still. 'Keep professional...' A voice in my head warned me. "Really, I probably wouldn't have gotten back home tonight if you hadn't thought to get me a ride back." A moment passed as I tried to find something to say while keeping my eyes open. "Well goodnight." I finally decided to say, before opening the door and hurrying out. I waved the car off, and without a look after it, trudged myself back into the House and up to my bedroom, where I collapsed on my bed fully clothed.

I fell asleep almost instantly.
