Love By Chance - Joe Sugg Fanfiction

Chapter 15

As the boys escort the boys outside I grab a bottle of wine and run upstairs to the closest bathroom and slam the door.

I put up my hair into a messy bun that looks like crap, but I couldn't care less. I pull the bathmat to me and sit on it so it will be more comfortable on the hard tile floor.

I down the bottle of red wine and smile to myself. Ha, my dad's favourite song is 'Red Red Wine', how ironic. If only he could see me know.

I start singing the lyrics to it. Well, morely squealing.

"Red red wiiiiiiiiiine. Stay close to meeeeeeeeeee" I sing out of tune as I cuddle the bottle to my chest, I think I need another bottle as it goes, I need to party! I sway side to side out of time to my singing.

I mumble the next few lines as I can't remember the lyrics. Ahhh why can't I remember?

I frown as I close my eyes and then laugh. "Don't let me be alone!" I belt out. When the words sink in, it hits home and my lip trembles.

I curl up on the floor into a ball and cry my drunken self to sleep. Well, try to. I can't help the constant nagging thoughts in my head.

Will Joe always be so protective?

Will he make me choose between him and University?

Does Jim not approve us of being together?

A gentle knock at the door distracts me from my thoughts and I sit up in a rush, my head pounding. I wince and hold my forehead.

"Liv? Are you in here?" I hear Zoe speak through the white door that now looks like a blur through my half closed eyes.

I mumble a response of yes. I just want to sleep please. That would be fabulous.

Zoe creaks the door open and I look up at her under my eyelashes. I spread out like a star fish and laugh at her expression. Looks like I've been caught in the act.

She eyes my bottle of wine. "Who gave you that?".

"Ahhh... I dunno" I grin as I move my arms and legs like a snow angel.

"Wanna join me?" I ask lifting my head, giving my self a double chin. I try and focus my gaze on her but she's unfocused. "You're like a blob".

She laughs and shakes her head. "I'm going to get Jim he'll know what to do".

Oh know, don't bring him up. I don't need a double of my dad right now.

She leaves and I try and scramble myself up but my legs just come into the air and my arms stretch upwards like I'm falling. "No! Zoe! Come back!".

I crawl out of the bathroom and then head towards my bedroom for the next few days. I try and unlock the door but give up.

I flop onto the floor with a frustrated sigh and close my eyes. Mmm comfy. Two seconds later I hear rather than see people come down the hall. Do they mind? I'm sleeping here!

"Oh god I shouldn't have left her! Liv wake up!" I hear Zoe say as she rushes towards me. Shhhh Zoe, I'm sleeping.

I feel myself being brought up into muscular arms and they shake me. "Come on wake up" I hear a recognisable voice say. Marcus? Oh it's Marcus!

"Shit what if she's passed out?" I hear Zoe say in panic. Don't worry about me guys, I'm just sleeping.

"I know just the trick" Marcus replies.

I feel myself being lifted up, am I flying? Oh I'm probably being taken to bed, finally some peace!

I expect to be gently dropped onto a nice plump mattress but instead I'm against more cold tiles. Really?

I feel something ice cold splinter my skin. Shit! My eyes spring open and I scramble up but in trapped in a bath tub. I rush to the other side of the tub and bring my knees to my chest as I fight the shivers that evade my body.

The water turns off I feel a fluffy towel being put around me. I look up and frown at the two smirking people in front of me.

"Sorry Liv but we had to be sure you'd be okay, and it'll help you get sober" Marcus laughs.

"I just wanna go to bed" I moan.

I hear the door squeak open and quickly glance over to see Joe come in. He looks between the three of us and then comes to me.

He wraps his arms around me and rubs my arms and looks up to the others. "How come she's wet?".

Marcus drops to the floor and lifts up the bottle of wine. "She passed out".

He nods then looks to Zoe. "Why didn't you come and get me? I'll look after her".

Zoe stares at her feet like a child. "Couldn't find you".

He nods and then turns and picks me up like a baby and I cuddle into his chest shivering. He walks me out the room, carefully minding my head through the doorways.

He strips me off and helps me into one of his t shirts that lays on the top of my thighs. I climb into bed next to him and settle down into his cuddle and smile at the comfort.

He kisses my head and murmurs. "What am I going to do with you?".

I could ask the same question to him, instead I drift off as my eyes become heavier and heavier.

------------

I wake up groggily squinting around the room. I check my phone that reads 5AM. Ergh.

My mouth is parched so I decide to go for a glass of water. I stand up shakily and leave Joe's grasp which makes him mumble. He itches his abs and turns onto him stomach and resumes sleeping.

I let out a sigh and downstairs still half asleep so I bump into corners on my way down.

I start to wonder whether I'm going the right way when I see a faint light on in the kitchen and walk slowly and quietly towards it.

I peer around the corner to see Jim sitting at the counter on his computer with a glass of water.

I almost decide to head back upstairs but when he takes a sip, I feel my throat turn like the Sahara desert so I decide to step out from the shadows.

His gaze looks up towards me mid sip and he freezes. He finishes off his drink and then puts the glass down.

"I think we need to talk" he whispers and tilts his head.
