Adalyn's POV

My hand holds my head as my eyes force themselves open. I stay lying down, staring up at the ceiling, head pounding from last night's bad decision. I cover my face with a pillow and groan in pain.

Why do I continuously do this to myself?

Faint shades of blue start finding my view as my vision tries to focus. I carefully sit up, taking in the sight of the room, trying to remember how exactly I got here. I glance over at the desk with the pages stacked in a pile, chair neatly tucked into its spot, a typewriter squared away in the corner, but what catches my attention is the bookshelf. I'd know those books anywhere. I've been fascinated by that shelf since I was five.

I am in Ashton's room.

I rack my brain trying to remember the events that led to this, but can't. I detangle myself from the sheets and dangle my feet off the side of the bed. I notice a glass of water and ibuprofen on the table next to me. I quickly pop the pills in my mouth and down the glass, thinking nothing of it.

My eyes widen when I look down at my clothes. It is not what I was wearing yesterday. These are definitely not my sweats.

Wait! Where is Ashton? Please tell me nothing happened.

I get out of bed and quietly make my way downstairs, praying to God that I slept in that bed alone last night. I hear a noise in the kitchen, like someone is cooking.

I am greeted with that familiar raspy voice, "Good morning."

I fumble to talk when he looks at me, "M-morn-morning."

"That was some night last night." Ashton smirks, eyeing me up and down.

Brie is definitely going to kill me for this one.

I nervously laugh and walk over to the coffee pot that already has a fresh pot. I pour some in my cup and lean against the counter to face him. "So..."

"So...."
