Rafe's pov

I don't know what possessed me to help Sarah's best friend Adeline. But when I saw Sarah leave her alone again, I thought it was best to keep an eye on her, especially when I saw how drunk she was and when she ran to the bathroom.

If I hadn't helped her then, Sarah would've killed me. After all, I'm the one she has to go home with, or else I don't know what will happen to her. But I know Sarah will be fine even if I lied about her being with Topper. But I actually saw her with someone else, so she'll survive.

I open the car door and put Adeline in the passenger seat. I lean over her to fasten the seatbelt, which makes her burst into laughter. She's really too drunk, I think as I walk around the car and sit behind the wheel.

Just before I start the car, I turn to Adeline, who is now looking out the window.

"If you vomit in this car, you're dead, so please let me know if you need to," I say with a serious tone. However, she doesn't seem to listen, and it feels pointless to try to get her to listen, so I start the car and begin driving. The question is, should I drive her home? Because I know her balcony door always works, but I'll never be able to carry her up there, and I can't just walk into her house while carrying Adeline, completely drunk, or her parents will think I drugged her or something. Therefore, I have no choice but to take her home with me.

It's quick to drive back, and I park the car where it usually is and close the car door behind me to walk past and take Adeline, who seems to have fallen asleep too, but maybe it's for the best since I won't have to listen to her babble or laugh at everything I absolutely don't care about, and she should just know that I'll never do this again because it's the last time I'll ride in the same car as my sister to a party.

I release one hand to grab my keys and unlock the door, then close it behind me before picking up Adeline with both hands again and carrying her steadily up the stairs.

I don't have to worry about my dad or Rose coming now because they won't. If they're not sleeping, they're somewhere else.

I'm about to open Sarah's door when I hear a lot of sounds I absolutely don't want to hear from there. How could she get home so quickly? I'm just disgusted by the sounds and hurry away to the guest room to lay Adeline there. But the guest room is locked, and there's a cleaning sign on the door. Typical dad always doing stuff like that.

Guess there's no other choice. I sigh loudly and walk towards my room where I open the door and then close it after me. If anyone sees us both in here, they'll really think the wrong things so it's best to lock the door just in case.

I'm definitely not taking any risks anyway. I lay Adeline down on my bed and stretch my arms as I've gotten tired of carrying her around for so long.

Then I go to my closet and take out a T-shirt. It looks quite uncomfortable to sleep in those party clothes, but I'm not going to undress her so she'll just have to change into it when she wakes up. I take off her shoes and let her sleep peacefully the other side of my bed and I go into my bathroom to get ready to sleep.

It's 02.57 and it's really going to be nice to sleep. Even though I absolutely don't want to sleep in the same bed as Adeline. It's really my worst nightmare, and I know she'll want to kill me when I wake up. But now it is what it is

Adeline's pov:
I yawn and hold my hands to my head. It hurts a lot from yesterday. Yesterday... what happened yesterday? I open my eyes and realize I'm in Rafe's bedroom next to Rafe. What the hell.
