Too Close To Falling

No phone No problems?

     The smell of bacon infiltrates my nostrils as my pounding headache disturbs my sleep. I lift one eyelid open to see that both Elle and Tori are still fast asleep. I reach for my phone and find that it's not on the night stand. I am still in my clothes from last night, and haunting memories from Kieran and I's encounter come flooding back, which only increases the pain of my headache. In the bathroom, I wash my face and turn on the shower, hoping that it will cure this horrendous hangover.

I change into black leggings and a sweatshirt, and put on socks because its freezing. My brown hair looks darker than ever in the winter.

"How are you even up right now, I swear you are a serial killer" Tori mumbles as she turns over.

"Because I know that if I don't go upstairs now they will eat all the food, and I seriously need to eat something or I will be hungover all day."

"I do not remember a single thing after we played flip cup HA" Elle yells.

"Oh my god you blacked out?" I exclaim.

"Yep, I swear it's the altitude, every time we come up here I always can't handle my drinks." Elle shakes her head, and finally rises.

"You went to bed so early!" Tori yells at me.

"Um no, it was like 3am. Also, I practically fell down the steps I had no choice haha." I laugh at her.

"Kieran kept asking me if you were okay, I was like what?" Elle explains to me.

"Wait what?" Tori and I ask confused.

"Ya it's blurry but I am pretty sure I remember him being like Willow seems pretty drunk are you sure she is okay, should she have some water? I was shocked, but then forgot about it until just now." She shrugs.

"Hm, very weird." I mutter under my breath.

"Are you sure he didn't want to get with her or something?" Tori asks.

"What?!" I yell. "No, no he does not."

"How do you know that?" They ask.

"Last night he told me he wanted me to be his wing woman this trip." I state.

"Why does his mouth exist?" They chime.

"I was like, get away from me?" I say through gritted teeth.

They both laugh. We head upstairs to find Liam and Kev, everyone else is still asleep thank god. They are cooking breakfast and Kev smiles at me, which makes me blush and I look down.

I don't know if I would be into Kev like that, but it's nice to know that he is into me. We will see what happens. I don't know him well enough to decide yet.

"Well, well, well, look what we've got here three hungover bitches." Liam taunts.

"Shut up and give me food!" Tori yells.

I feel the warmth of a body behind me, and I immediately know who it is. Before I can move he says.

"Say please."

I squirm away, as he chuckles to himself. I narrow my eyes at him, and just decide to ignore him. Why does he also have to look so good in the morning. Like seriously, wearing joggers and a sweatshirt, hood up, something so simple but yet Kieran makes it look so good.

"What's cookin?" he asks.

"Eggs, bacon, toast, the good stuff you know" Liam replies.

Liam and Kieran are friendly which I just do not understand. We finish eating and I go back to my room to try and find my phone, I basically rip apart my room and no luck. I go back upstairs and now everyone is awake so now there are twenty people up there. Ten boys and ten girls. I ask Elle and Tori if they have seen it and they tell me no. Liam and Kev go and check their room just in case, but no luck. Now I am starting to freak out, because I need my phone.

"Ahem." I cough.

"I knew you'd come back for more." Kieran playfully says.

He goes to lift me up again and I quickly go to run away.

"I'm kidding!" he yells.

"Ya well don't ever become a comedian." I spit back.

"That one hurt." He mimes crying.

"Have you seen my phone." I cut to the chase.

"Yes" he says.

"You have!!" I exclaim "Where?"

"You left it in here, come."

I follow him into his room and start searching, and all I hear is laughter. I spin around and narrow my eyes at him and start speed walking to him, at that he stops laughing.

"Woah there Low, now let's not be irrational." He pleads.

I shove him back into the door and he pretends to be hurt mouthing the words "ow".

"UGH, you aggravate me!" I yell.

"Oo, tell me more" He teases.

I let out a long exhale, and trying to be calm I ask one last time.

"Have you or have you not seen my phone?" I ask.

"Nope. Can you get out of my room it's not polite to just barge in like this." He smiles.

"I'm gunna kill you." I state.

I push him to the left and go to grab the door handle but he grabs both of my hands and swaps our positions so now I'm pressed up against the door. My hands are above my head, and he is staring down at me, closing the space between us. Tension building as no one speaks. I dare to look up into his eyes. They are filled with lust, but also this emotion I can't put my finger on but there is a gentleness about it. I try to squirm, because the heat on my skin is getting too much for me to handle and I'm aching for things I do not want to admit. As I squirm he tightens his grip on me.

"Where are you going?" he says.

"I um.. uh.. I.. need.. to... my.. phone.. get. It." I barely get out.

With that he smiles, and then starts laughing. I stare at him confused now.

"It's just too easy Low." He states.

"What?" I question.

"To get you flustered. You need to loosen up, live a little. You are wound up too tight." He tells me.

"Fuck you. I loosen up around people I like." I say

"Oh, so you must love me then." He says, still smiling. Then he winks and let's go of me.

"You are the epitome of everything I hate." With that I yank open the door and practically run out.

I don't understand why he keeps playing these games with me, but one thing I do know is that I am going sledding without knowing where my phone is. END
