It's not that Chuck wants to claim alcohol and pretend it didn't happen. He wants to be with Raleigh as much as Raleigh can't lose him again.

But as he's sobering up he starts panicking on the inside. So Raleigh said yes to following him to California when he was drunk, what if he hates it? What if he resents Chuck for making him move so far from what remains of his family?

He's confused. And hungover. And it's a pretty shitty feeling all around.

Still. He gets the text and calls him, flopping back on his bed and rubbing a hand over Max's head.
