I woke up to Alex with her arm around my stomach, and her head on my chest. She was still asleep, and I didn't want to wake her up, so I led there for a while until she woke up. When she eventually did, she looked up at me and groaned.
'Headache?' I asked. She nodded. I laughed. 'Mind if I used your shower.' She nodded again. I got up and walked into her bathroom.
I had a quick cold shower before walking back into her room with a towel around myself. Alex stared at me and smiled. 'I may have a horrible hangover, but there's no denying I had fun last night.'
'Me too.' I laughed. My phone started to ring: It was Kristie. I picked up:
'Hey, whats up Mewy?'
'Leah just text me.' She sighed. 'She asked if you were with me.'
I rolled my eyes, 'Tell her the truth, I don't care. It's none of her business, and she's gonna find out anyway. I don't get why she's so pissed off.' Alex glances over, listening in. We make eye contact for a while, before I look away. 'If she wants to know about my personal life, she can ask me herself. She messed up, not me.'
'Do you want me to say that?' Kristie asked, I replied with a yes. 'Okay Kier, I'll see you soon, loves ya *she blows a kiss*.' I hung up the phone.
I throw my phone on Alex's bed and sit down on her bed, facing away from her. She comes up behind me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and kissing me on the cheek, softly. I turn to look at her.
'You wanna go get breakfast?' She asked. I nodded, and we both got dressed.

Alex drove us to a nearby cafe and we both order, and begin to eat. I play with my food, not really in the mood to eat.
She looks up at me and sighs, 'You can't let her get to you,' I shook my head. 'She isn't worth it...' She continued.
I interrupted her, 'It's not that easy. I'm trying to move on with my life and she's making it more difficult than it needs to be. I'm not mad at her for what she did; I'm hurt. I trusted her, and she told me multiple times not to worry about Jordan, and she fucked it.' My heart began to race. 'I gotta go.'
'Wait...what?' she said, shocked.
'Listen, I really enjoyed last night and I definitely want to see you again I just can't be here right now.' I sighed. 'I'm sorry.' I kisses her on the cheek before walking out of the cafe.

I walked along the beach for about an hour before deciding to get a taxi back to Kristie's. When I got inside, she wasn't there, but Sam was. She noticed I was upset, and hugged me.
'I'm sorry Kier.' she said, sympathetically. I smiled at her, and she smiled back.
'Where's Mewy?' I asked.
'She's gone for breakfast with her sister.' She replied. I nodded.

We sat watching tv for a while and chatting, before Kristie came back. She hugged me before telling me she had got a call from Jill, asking if I would be around tomorrow, to attend their training session.
Hesitantly, I said, 'I suppose. It's a good idea to take my mind off things.' The girls nodded.

After a couple of hours of doing nothing, I got a call; it was Leah. I turned my phone on silent, but she called again and again until, finally, I answered:
'What do you want?'
She sighed down the phone, 'I'm sorry.' She sounded upset, which made me feel bad. I didn't like knowing that Leah was sad...of course I still cared about her, but she hurt me, and then lied about it.
I didn't know what to say.
She sighed again, 'So, you were with Morgan last night then?'
I rolled my eyes and laughed sarcastically, 'We just went out for food, Sam and Kristie suggested it, I don't see why it's an issue. We aren't together anymore, you made that perfectly clear when you fucked me over for your ex. I'm so done with having this conversation with you over and over again. We'll talk when I get back.' I hung up before she could say anything. I led down for a while, just staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything, alone. I didn't want to be around anyone, but I felt bad about leaving Alex alone earlier. I was debating whether or not to text her, but I decided I should leave it until tomorrow, I was going to see her anyway. For now, it was time for bed.

I drifted off to sleep, after another 3 hours of getting lost in my own thoughts, rethinking the last year of my life, questioning what the hell the future was going to look like.
