Cheer Up Baby | Elijah Hewson

Chapter 17. The Only Exception

𝕽𝖊𝖇𝖇𝖊𝖈𝖆

I began to wake up due to the feeling of a heavy weight on top of me and the sun beating down onto me.

I knew for a fact that I didn't close the curtains once we got into the room last night.

I honestly can't remember falling asleep. All I remember is that after we did the lantern ceremony, everyone went straight to the dance floor, while I felt absolutely floored with tiredness and decided to take a seat on the L shaped couch.

Which, of course, ended up with me being asleep for the rest of the night.

I'm guessing Eli carried me home, but I seriously don't know at all.

The heavy weight on top of me was obviously Eli..... or so, I thought.
I went to run my fingers through his hair, smiling softly to myself.

But as I did so, I noticed that this head of hair was way longer and also not curly at all.

In panic, I opened my eyes quickly and looked down at the head that was lying on my chest.

"Sophie!! Get the fuck off me!!" I sighed grumpily, pushing her in the wrong direction and accidentally sending her off the bed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!" She screeched.

As I leaned over to look down at her, she was face down on the floor wearing just a bra and her underwear.

What a look.

"Where the fuck did your clothes go." I asked her in confusion.

"Never mind my clothes!! What about my face!!" She looked up at me with a face full of disgust.

She was clearly fuming with me. I don't blame her.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I wasn't thinking." I got up out of the bed, giving her my hand so I could help her up.

She took it with a smile, and then boom!! She took me down with her.

"OWWW!" I screamed out in pain, covering my mouth immediately after since I didn't want to wake anyone up.

"Now you know how it feels." She huffed in triumph.

We both looked at each other and broke out laughing. Rolling around the floor as we held each others hand.

"Okay, but in all seriousness. Why are you in bed with me and where are your clothes?"

"I'm actually not sure. I carried you back here, I think, when I was half slashed. So, me in my drunken state, just took my clothes off and fell asleep on Eli's side of the bed."

"Oh, okay then." I nodded, understanding the situation more.

I still wanted to know where Eli and Bobby where though.

"What about Eli and Rob? Where are they?" I turned my head to look at her. She had slipped on a pair of sunglasses to ease the pain in her eyes and head.

Her and Bobby are literally a match made in heaven.

"Oh, shit. I actually have no clue where they are. The last time I saw them they.....Oh." She paused mid way through her sentence. Sitting up in her spot and her face immediately going a greenish colour.

"Soph? Are you okay? You're looking a little green in the face there babes." I laughed a a bit, placing my hand on her shoulder.

"I-I think I'm gonna be sick." She jumped up off the floor, her hand covering her mouth as she ran out onto the landing and into the spare bathroom.

I laughed to myself at her hungover state. I was slightly surprised that she wasn't sick as soon as she woke up.

While Sophie was sorting herself out in the bathroom I thought it would be best if I went on the search for the two lads.
