You Drive Me Crazy | L.H

Chapter 26: Bullshit!

Olivia POV

I would never normally admit this but the boys are probably right about the alcohol and my pain meds, either that or I've drunk a whole lot more than I thought I did.

I was drunk. I was stumbling all over the place despite my ankle.

I know that I've been annoyed at Luke for being jealous but this is different, he's purposely flirting with Grace in front of me. And he knows exactly what he is doing. Touching her waist like that and holding her drink while she fixes her hair. What makes this even worse is I know that Grace seems lovely and kind and probably way better for Luke than I am.

I know tonight is meant to be about Calums birthday and making sure he has a good time but because of my foot and the bottle of whisky I had finished, I was now drunk. I had spoken to Justin for a while and at some point lost him and then ended up in the kitchen because I hadn't had a drink in a while.

Luke pov

I would never admit this to anyone but Olivia Ortega was right, I am jealous, I hate being jealous but I am. She has been talking to that guy Justin for hours and he hasn't stopped her drinking and she's been standing up for most of the time too. All I want to do is make sure she is ok.

I had been chatting to grace to make liv jealous but it didn't look like it was working. Grace is great and I think we get along really well but I can't stop thinking about Olivia.

As I'm thinking about all this I see her stumbling to the kitchen probably to get another drink, I rush through the crowd in the living room to follow her into the kitchen going up behind her and grabbing the cup she is holding, "Hey, Ortega, I'll be taking this."

She turns around looking up at me, "but-"

I interrupt her before she has a chance to make an excuse, "No buts, you've had too much and you'll end up injuring yourself more if you're not careful," I say, holding the cup out of her reach.

"But I need-"

"No you don't need it, trust me," I say, putting an arm around her so I can take her weight, dragging her away from the alcohol.

"Dickhead..." she grumbles, trying to get out of my grip.

I wrap my arms tightly around her so she won't fall over, "Ortega, I'm trying to help just let me will you," I say, dragging her through to the living room.

"Your bullshit! This whole thing is bullshit!" she grumbled, poking my chest and shooting me a glare. I was trying hard to stay calm because I can see how drunk she is and know she would never say stuff like this normally.

I get to the door so I can take her outside to get some air when Justin stands in front of me "what are you doing with her? Doesn't she hate you?" he says, looking at me while blocking the door.

I roll my eyes, "it not that-"

Before I can continue Olivia interrupts, "Yeah, I do hate him, I just wanna drink." she manages to slur out.

"Listen, dude, she's a good friend, I'm just gonna take her for some air," I say ignoring what she's saying.

"I don't think she wants to go with you, let me take her," Justin says, starting to get on my nerves.

"I'm her neighbour and her brothers best friend, I've known her for years, I-" I have to stop myself before I say something stupid, "I swear it's fine," I say trying to shove past him again. He blocks me again and I roll my eyes, "look I get your concern but I know her a whole lot better than you and would never do something to hurt her," I say towering over him and finally getting through the door pulling a still grumpy Olivia with me.

"Nice speech, you lied about the last part tho," she giggles, sitting down when we get to the benches that are round the side of Calums house.

I sat next to her, raising my eyebrow, "oh really?" I chuckle moving the table closer so she can put her foot up.

"Mhmm, you hurt me all the time, my feelings I mean," she mumbles looking down, I know she's drunk and not thinking straight but I take everything she says seriously so I continue to ask questions.

"Oh? Like what?" I say still staying calm.

"You just make me so confused all the time, one minute you're kissing me or flirting and the next you want to see other people and as flirting with them in front of me, it's like you don't care at all...plus the number of times I've told you I don't even like Justin is insane and you never listen." she grumbles, "it's all bullshit, and it's all because of you and I don't get it! It's not like it's just since the new year either. You have been playing with my feelings since I broke up with Sam!" she says, raising her voice more and I could tell this was frustrating for her. It was like she was finally making everything clear about how she felt about us. I didn't know what to say, even if I did she wouldn't remember tomorrow anyway. Before I can say anything she suddenly bends over the side of the bench and throws up. I hold her hair back quickly and rub her back lightly, she sits back up, "sorry... I just wanna go home, my leg hurts, no, everything hurts but mostly my leg," she mumbles, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"I'm going to message Michael and say I'm taking you home, okay?" he says, kissing your forehead.

She nodded slightly, not moving from her position on my shoulder as I messaged Michael and called a taxi for us.

******

I managed to get Olivia up to her room without too much trouble. She was still complaining but I managed to get her to lay down with her foot up on some cushions.

"You need to be more careful," I chuckle thinking of how many times I've done stuff like this for her, as I sit by the foot of the bed.

"Spoilsport" she grumbles sitting up slightly.

"You'll thank me tomorrow..." I chuckle, "get some sleep love," I say standing up to leave.

"Nooo stay over," she giggles, grabbing my hand and pulling me back over.

"I reckon you're not going to remember much from tonight and if you wake up to me in your bed you're not going to be happy, so I will see you tomorrow," I chuckle, kissing her head and tucking her into the bed.

She mumbles some complaints but I'm already heading out the window.

Once I'm back at my house all I can do is think about what she said, I didn't realise that it was that frustrating, of that she was that jealous of Grace but at the same time I get it because of the Justin thing, I have been a dick about it, but guys always have an ulterior motive when it comes to just being friends with a girl so I do have a right to be jealous, I just have to talk to her about it tomorrow...

A/N- haven't done one of these for a while but please if you like this story comment below and tell me what is your favourite chapter so far. what do you think will happen next? will Olivia come to terms with how she feels? will luke make things official? will they ever tell Michael and how do you think they will react when they do find out? I love writing these stories even if it takes a while for an update.
