Sunlight awakened JB, but as soon as he opened his eyes, the throbbing that resonated through his head made him immediately wish that he hadn’t. He had begun to sit up, but stopped up short and laid back on the pillows under him, groaning and rolling over onto his back as he placed an arm over his eyes.   “Look who’s finally up,” a familiar voice commented, making JB pause. “I was starting to think you died.” It was overhead; JB opened his eyes just enough to make out a blurry image of a couple of people on the floor with him, as well as one dark haired person – the speaker – seated on the bed above him. “Did you have fun last night, party animal?”   “Where am I…?” JB muttered, closing his eyes again.   “My place,” Jackson responded.   “Since you trashed mine,” another familiar voice – Mark – commented on the other side of the room.
