Chapter 8 - Trash Can

" Daphne!"

"Hmmm."

" Your feet is on my face." Camilla said with a neutral tone, like it was not the first time it was happening.

" Omsory." Daphne's apology came as gibberish.

They were sleeping in an unusual position. Daphne's feet was indeed on Camilla's face (and in her mouth). Daphne's head was down, Camilla's was up. But they were still cuddling that way so Camilla was holding Daphne's feet and vice versa.

" I feel like we took too much alcohol."

" Yes, but we only took a little."

Just five bottles, each

" My head feels like, the person that hates me the most is in my stomping their life away." Camilla said in robotic voice while trying to get the gum smudged on her hair. She winced as she noticed that it was hurting to pull it apart.

" I feel lik-" Daphne was cut short because she had ran to the toilet to throw up.

" I have work tomorrow." Camilla and Daphne wailed at the same time.

The girls were trying to sober up and have some fun after going through some bad and stressful days. Too bad they now created another stressful day. It was so iconic tho.

" Camilla, come on we have to sober up and get ready for tomorrow."

"Mentally, physically,spiritually, psychologically everything that ends with "lly" ." Camilla replied while arranging her blanket and removing the bag of chips wrappers.

" Let me check my phone." Daphne said after leaving the toilet and looking for her phone all over Camilla's apartment

" Yeah me too where is my-." Camilla was cut off after she heard a squeal.

" What the fuck, Daphne!!!" Camilla said with a tinge of annoyance after she ran to Daphne and saw her standing over a can. She was infuriated that Daphne was not hurt after she squealed loudly. She had actually thought something bad had happened to Daphne.

" My phone!" Daphne wined out

"What!?" Camilla asked with a tone of urgency.

" It's, it's, it's...."

" What!!!!?"

" It's in the trash can." Daphne said as the clean freak in her wailed in agony.

Camilla didn't say anything but bust out laughing.

" You don't have to worry about that. It will be fine and clean." Camilla said absentmindedly while picking more dirt.

" What do you mean by that!? It was in a trash can!" Daphne said looking for something to pick it up with the intention of not making direct contact with it.

" Because there is no trash inside."

" Guyyyy, it has been a day and some hours, of course there will be trash."

" Yes there will but it isn't there."

" Then where are the trash?"

" They are everywhere." Camilla said with gesture to Daphne, telling her to look around. The apartment was filled with chip wrappers, gums, unwashed dishes and more trash.

It was beautiful

Daphne and Camilla had finished cleaning the her house and had freshened up. They spent the remaining day taking a walk around Manhattan with a cup of ice cream in hand. They noticed the day was slowly coming to an end,so it was time to bade farewell.

" Well, Camilla, I have to go,.my dad will probably be worried." Yes since he's called thirty times in total

" Yes, Daphne it is time to go home, remember all I told you." Camilla said in assurance.

"But that his my mother and brother. I will just try and be the bigger-."

"Person yes, but the more you try to be the bigger person and not address them,the more you look smaller in their eyes . They know they can get under your skin, even if you don't show it. Those people are toxic, so you should not let them get to you. They have chosen their path; You need to choose yours."

_

" Yes I do." Daphne said, while remembering it. And also remembering all her mother's harsh words. Camilla on noticing the change in Daphne's demeanor, pulled her into a deep hug and held her.

" " Everything is going to be fine." Camilla reassured.

" Ok, thank you so much for entertaining and taking care of me." Daphne said with genuine gratitude and sincerity. She felt like she had been a burden to Camilla.

" Oh that's nothing, I'm your best friend, I am just caring for you, the same way you have done with me." Camilla said with a wide smile, then Daphne smiled back.

Camilla and Daphne got to Camilla's place and she took her stuff and was ready to go.
