Help the drunk home

"Fuck," you mutter under your breath. "Okay, I gotta take this guy home. I'll see you when you guys get back to the dorm."

Susanna looks back over her shoulder at the party. "I think I'll come with you actually," she says. "Can you just wait here while I go get my coat?" She ducks back inside and you're left out in the cold with the drunk man.

He vomits a little bit more, this time on himself, but you find it hard to make yourself care.

She comes back a few minutes later, pulling her hands through her sleeves. "Alright, let's go!" she says.

You take the lead in actually guiding the drunk down the street. He's pretty gross and very hard to carry, so Susanna would just end up struggling. That isn't to say it isn't a struggle for you, but it's a little more manageable.

The drunk guy's house is about a fifteen minute walk away from the party, though it's more like twenty-five at his faltering pace. Eventually you manage to get him to his front door and throw him inside. With any luck, he has roommates at home that will be more willing to take care of him than the friends that went with him to the party were. Regardless, you feel that you've done your due diligence. It's up to him to get himself in bed now.

"Jesus," you say, sitting down on the drunk's front porch.

"Not exactly how you saw your night ending?" Susanna says. "Me neither."

"Do you do this a lot?" you ask.

"Not a lot. Only when they're really bad. Growing up in Scotland, you can tell the difference between someone who's about to drink themselves to **** and someone who's just going to fall asleep on their feet." She nods toward the door, seemingly indicating the guy that the two of you have just dropped off. "He probably would have never made it home if we hadn't walked him. And in this cold, that could've been really bad."

"Yeah, I get you," you say. You glance at your watch, finding it saying that it's almost 3 AM. "I don't think that there's much point to heading back to the party. You want to just head back to the dorm?"

"That sounds fine to me," Susanna says. "We can just go south from here to reach it."
