I groan tossing and turning around in bed. I shuffle a little too close to the edge and fall off. I blink a couple of times. Now that I'm awake everything is spinning. I rub my eyes and then rub my head.

I look around the room unfamiliar with the place. I hear running up the stairs and then the door opens. I'm met with Tom's gaze looking down on me.

"Hey, you alright I heard a crash?" He asked walking over to me. I eye him squinting and rubbing my eyes again thinking this is some crazy dream. Why is he in my room?

"Yeah I-I'm ok?" He helps me up and guides me to sit on top of the bed. I examine the room, the walls were grey with dark grey curtains and white bedsheets. This was definitely not my room.

"This isn't my room? Where am I?" I asked still hazed. I heard him chuckle I turn to look at his face.

"I hope it's ok I brought you to my place, you were pretty drunk last night and I didn't think you wanted your mom to see that?" I winced a little hearing his voice.

"God, why are you yelling?" I rub the temple of my head again as it felt like it was going to burst. I feel the bed rise next to me.

"I'll be back ok, take it easy sunshine" my lips curl into a small smile but I groan hearing the nickname he gave me once again. He walked out of the room, as he closed the door it sounded like a gunshot. Oh god, how much did I drink...?

I tried my best to try and recall the events of last night? But nothing came to my mind. The last thing I remember was Tom kissing Jess.

I shouldn't be here. I got up off the bed picking up my shoes and phone. I turn it on and see a hundred messages from Bee.

Bee 🐝 : Hey, where are you?
10:38 pm

Bee 🐝 : Are you ok??
10:46 pm

Bee 🐝 : Ok, you're scaring me??
11:50pm

Bee 🐝 : ANSWER YOUR PHONE LIA!
1:22 am

Bee 🐝: Where the hell are you??
8:50 am

Bee 🐝: Message me ok... I'm worried
8:55 am

I quickly message Bee telling her I'm ok. I sit on the bed and put my shoes on feeling like absolute shit. I hear the door open again, I place my phone on the nightstand next to the bed and turn around to face him.

Tom walked over to me. He extends his hand giving me some Advil and water. I swallow the pills and drink the water.

"Thanks," I say softly, he looks at me like he wanted to say something but I jump to the gun getting the first word.

"I should go..." I scratched my head backing away from him. He looks a little saddened at my words but why the fuck does he care? He has an obsessive girlfriend he doesn't need me. He shouldn't have brought me here.

"I can drive you home-" he steps closer to me but I place my hand between us distancing the space.

"I don't think your girlfriend would be too happy so I'll get out of your hair..." I turn around and walk out of his room. I find the front door easily and walk out of his house. I'm stopped by Tom holding my wrist.

"Lia-" I look down away from him. He's really starting to piss me off. I remove his hand from me.

"Look I appreciate your help I do but I gotta go Bee's worried," I said a little annoyed. I walk away from Tom. He didn't follow thank god...

I tried my best to find my way home. After an hour or so of me walking around a block and my hangover becoming unbearably worse despite the Advil I took... I made it to Bee's house.
