Three Whole Words Only Eight Letters Long (Sequel to LCDD)

Chapter 45

Note: Okay so I'm aware that I'm late uploading and I'm really sorry for that!! I haven't been online much, what with issues with friends and then my college workload, I haven't really thought much about Wattpad since I haven't been on in the last week. There's also the problem that I haven't written a full chapter since December, I just can't sit and write anything. I'm sorry about that, hopefully with half term coming up I may be able to write a few chapters but I actually have a social life what with going to a gig and celebrating a friend's birthday so I don't know if I will get much time.

In the meantime I'm really sorry, but I hope you enjoy the upload and don't hate me for my lateness and sorry if there are any errors.

I opened my eyes to see Oli sleeping soundly beside me, both my hands wrapped in his as we faced each other. The moonlight streaming in from the gap in the curtains illuminated a quarter of his face, allowing me to see slight shadows on parts of the left side of his face. I swallowed and found that I was incredibly thirsty so I carefully slid out of bed, biting my lip to keep myself from making any noise when the room spun and my head felt heavy.

     I slipped my robe back on and found my slippers before carefully slipping through the crack in the door and making my way down to the kitchen, flicking the small lap in the room on to give myself some light to see by. I filled up a glass with water and gulped the liquid down eagerly before filling the glass up again and glancing at the clock on the microwave, sighing when I saw that it was two in the morning.

     After coming back into the living room, I'd fallen asleep on Oli for about three hours, the poor guy was stiff when I woke up since he hadn't moved, scared to in case he woke me up. Apparently I was sound asleep and he didn't want to move and risk waking me up, plus there was the fact that he said he'd enjoyed watching me sleep and playing with my hair. I'd woken up afterwards and Adrian and Oli had made some food for everyone, but I'd declined since I didn't have an appetite and the food didn't smell appetising either, although I hadn't felt sick since. Of course I'd gotten worried looks from my friends. When I wasn't eating there was something seriously wrong with me, especially with how much I loved my food.

     I'd watched my friends eat instead and we had hung out for a while, talking about nothing in particular, until conversation had drifted to the dance competition. I saw that Adrian was worried. There was just over a week left until we had to make our way back down to London, and with how I was feeling at the moment, I wasn't sure if it would be happening, although I was determined to get better somehow, even if it was only so that I was well enough to dance. I couldn't let him down. I knew I would feel guilty if I did. But Adrian being himself knew what I was thinking and had reassured me that there was always next year. Of course I was stubborn, he'd competed the last three years even if he hadn't qualified and I wanted him to be able to compete this year, but we both knew it was too late for him to find anyone else.

     Anyway at about eleven, everyone had retired home leaving just Oli, Adrian and myself in the apartment. About an hour later we had all decided to go back to bed, but I think I'd slept a bit too much today which was why I'd only slept for two hours.

     I finished my third glass of water- making a face at the taste as I made a mental note to get Adrian to buy some bottled water today- before I walked over to the doors that led onto the balcony, and threw open the curtains that we had placed there to keep the heat in when Winter came. I saw that the night was clear with a splattering of stars and I smiled up at the sky, before pulling the throw off the couch and wrapping it around myself. After unlocking the balcony doors, I opened them and walked outside, making sure to take the key with me to close the doors behind me, since they had a habit of locking behind you. I'd found that out the hard way back when I was helping Summer to decorate the place. I'd been here alone while she went shopping for the finishing touches, leaving me to paint the remaining wall on my own, and I'd gone outside for some fresh air, only to have the doors lock behind me. I'd waited outside for three hours until Summer came back home and she'd just laughed at me.
