The Story Of Another Us | cth

20. The contract

Lucy's POV

I woke up in a queen sized bed that was obviously not mine and looked around trying to think of all the possibilities of where I could be.

Then I heard people talking downstairs, specifically girls that sounded like they were from the valley.

I stretched my arms as wide as possible, releasing my stiff muscles that were caused by the position I was sleeping in all night, and slowly stood up from the bed. It was then that I realized that I had a pounding headache.

I walked towards the noise I was hearing and peaked my head from the top of stairs now seeing the people that I was hearing.

Bella and Samantha were mindlessly talking about some hot gossip going around with the actors and actresses as Samantha was making breakfast.

I walked in and took a seat next to Bella. "Hey girl! Oh God you look-"

"Awful," I finished for her. "Yeah, I feel awful too." I said putting my head down on my crossed arms that were laying on the counter.

I heard Bella stand up from her chair beside me and look through some cabinets.

Moments later, I heard a bottle filled with pills being placed right next to my head that was still laying down.

"Here take this, it'll help you feel better." Bella said also placing a cup of water next to me.

I took an Advil and swallowed it with the water awaiting the relief it would soon bring me.

"What even happened last night?" I asked confused as to why I was feeling this way.

"You really don't remember?" Samantha asked from her spot next to the stove.

I shook my head confused.

The two girls looked at each other with an expression I didn't like. They both looked like they had something they didn't want to tell me.

Bella shifted in her seat so that her body was facing me.

"We were having a girls night and decided to drink-"

"Oh no." I quickly cut her off. I didn't like where this story was going. Something I found out about myself these past two weeks is that I don't have much self control when it comes to alcohol. Despite myself being a lightweight, I never let that stop me.

"Anyways, Samantha and I stopped after two drinks and a shot so we were only tipsy, but you had two drinks and like five shots." She said sounding as if she felt bad for me.

"Well did anything bad happen? Like did I do something wrong?" I asked worried that I might have said some things that I probably shouldn't have.

"I think your boyfriend called you and we only heard part of the conversation because you left to go talk to him privately."

Calum called me? He would only call me if there was something serious going on because otherwise, he would respect my decision on this break we're taking.

"Do you know what we were talking about?" I felt so guilty for not remembering our conversation last night. It was definitely important and I can't even remember it.

"Not really. All I remember is one moment you were crying then the next you were calling him, the bestest boyfriend in the entire world. " She said mocking my drunk voice.

I hid my face in my hands from embarrassment and the guilt I was feeling.

"So how did I end up in Samantha's bed?" There was no way I would be able to climb those stairs in the state I was in last night.
