When Sera walked in, Mack half expected her to start yelling in her face, it was what Mack would have done. She supposed that was what got them in this whole mess though, and was extremely grateful that instead of screaming at her, Sera plopped down next to her. She was relieved, because she was pretty sure she couldn't handle anything loud right now. She glanced at the other girl warily, waiting to see what exactly she was going to do.

She almost cried when Sera gave her the aspirin and water bottle, popping both pills obediently in her mouth. Before she could thank the younger girl though, she was up again and cleaning up the mess that Mack had left in the bathroom. Feeling heavily embarrassed, she ducked her head in shame as Hunter waggled her eyebrows at her.

"Until she turns around and gives me the lecture," Mack muttered at Hunter. She took another sip of water, her stomach feeling slightly better now. She really hoped the aspirin would kick in soon, she wasn't sure how much longer she could deal with her head splitting. When she saw that Sera was done with the bathroom, she looked up at her hesitantly. While she knew that Sera wasn't going to fly off the handle at her, she was still afraid of what the girl was going to say.

"Thank's Ser," She said quietly, taking another sip of water and trying to offer her a weak smile. "I'm...I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do any of it, honest. I...I was just upset." She didn't really know what else to say, it was hard enough for her to force that much out.

Sera settled herself back on the end of the blond's bed, crossing her legs in front of her, she dropped her bag to the floor and just kind of looked up at Mack only half smiling. She really wasn't sure what she wanted to say, or how. She nodded at Mack's apology, still smiling, trying to figure what she wanted to start with. On the one hand, she was mad, she might pick on Tatum about her sexuality but she would never have screamed about it like that in front of everybody. But on the other, she was pretty sure Mack, in normal circumstances, wouldn't have either. In fact she was positive.

"It's okay, I know you didn't." She smiled weakly at blond. "I know you didn't mean to but you were still completely out of line, regardless. I don't blame Tatum if she takes a while to talk to you. And it could take a lot.. I mean, I was pissed, I still am to some extant, it obviously never should have happened, but not nearly as pissed as I think Tatum probably is right now. And Sam too.. I'd imagine."

After dragging Mack out of the dance, Sera had been running a number of choice words through her head that she wanted to say to the blond when she sobered up but seeing her so upset, and exhausted and obviously sorry, Sera couldn't bring herself to really let her friend have it. She was opinionated and upset herself, yes, but not a complete monster.

"Not to mention Sato. Have you heard anything this morning yet? You should actually thank Hunter I think, she might have actually smoothed things over a bit. Still, the teachers didn't seem very impressed."

Hunter stayed on her own perch on the edge of the bed, nodding along contentedly until Sera suggested that Mack thank her. It was true, but Sera so rarely gave Hunter the validation she tried to bug out of the younger girl. The coincidental compliment made the blonde grin widely. "Right? I rock, I did real good.. I know how ta be responsible an' shit when I gotta be," the taller girl half-bragged, waving her hand dismissively at them. "She knows she gotta go to Sato, but we were uh hopin' you had a plan on what to say to 'em.."

Shrugging for a moment, she went on. "I accept thank yous in the form of whiskey and babies-r-us gift cards," she joked, flopping dramatically back onto the bed, half sprawled on top of Mack as she peered up at her friend. "What ya need, boss, is a new strategy.. bein' mean only works for so long."

It felt weird, to be the one giving relationship advice, but she supposed it was only right. She never would have voiced it, but she really did want to see Mack as happy as she and Sera were, happy with the right girl. Tatum was kinda weird, in Hunter's opinion. She was a lot of work, and her brother had stolen the athletics while her sister had stolen the brains. She was sort of plain. Hunt didn't see what Mack saw, but if her friend thought Tatum was the right girl and worth all of this drama, Hunter supported her. Even against her own better judgment.

"So you tried bein' mean, tried bein' nice, bought her flowers, kissed her, yelled at her, shoved her boyfriend, and still no dice. Jeez Ser, does your sister enjoy anythin' bitches do for her at all? What a damn killjoy. Runs in the family, I guess!"
