THE NEXT DAY

BACK AT THE HOTEL

ELIZA'S POV

i remembered every single thing that happneed last night, and i was mortified. was i stupid to tell chris my feelings? especially while i was drunk.

i also remember that when i got back to the party with kai, i was too embarrassed to be by chris knowing i was going to remember every single word that was spoken to him by me. but obviously, the alcohol wasn't strong enough to make me forget.

i was lay down in bed with my eyes shut, i think i was the last one to be awake because the room was pretty much silent. except for the noise in the background, it was stuff on the desk moving around. it was probably someone looking at the stuff on there or just reorganising something.

i peeked one eye open and i saw chris in the mirror, looking at the papers on the desk. they were from the hotel, so it's nothing important.

when i realise it's chris my heart speeds up and a rush of awkwardness comes over me, he obviously remembers last night. but he doesn't know i do too, he just assumed i was 'too drunk' to even process what i was saying.

"morning" i say now stretching my arms, "how you feeling?" he asks, coming over to sit on the end of the bed. i sit up and smile at him, "i'm fine, why wouldn't i be?" i reply and he looks at me, "you were pretty drunk" he grimaces and then laughs, "i was fine" i roll my eyes playfully and he just laughs.

"i like you chris, your special to me chris" he mocks and i cringe as the words roll off his tongue, he laughs but i don't. it was everything but funny, it was mortifying.

"i said that?" i play dumb and he nods, "yeah until you went off with kai" i wide my eyes, playing dumb once again. "i went with kai when i was talking to you?" i ask and he nods, "yeah left me all alone"

i look around the room and notice that nobody else is in here, "where is everyone else?"
"they went to breakfast like ten minutes ago, they got tired of waiting" i smile at him, he stayed with me when everyone else couldn't be bothered to stay any longer, "you didn't have to wait for me"
"i wanted to" chris answers, "i didn't have to, i wanted too"

i feel fireworks explode in my stomach, i wanted to tell chris how i felt, soberly, so so bad. i wanted it more than anything, but he didn't feel the same way and i don't want to ruin our friendship.

i stand up and bend down to get some clothes from the suitcase, "ill be back, going to get changed" chris nods at me going on his phone and laying back on the bed.

i was going to have to tell him how i felt willingly before it came out without me even realising it came out.
