The Boy Next Door.

Ashamed.

Chapter 2:

Xaviera's POV:

I wake up late at around 2 p.m. My headache still hasn't gone away but the hangover is lessening. I decide to have a shower because I want his sexy cologne off me in case my parents smell it on me. After my shower, I brush my teeth, put some casual clothes on and dry my hair. I take a big deep breath before exiting my room and making my way to Ofelia's bedroom. I close the door behind me and she pounces on me with questions.

"Where the fuck did you go to last night?!" she asks loudly.

"Please keep your voice down, I still have a headache," I moan, massaging my head from my headache.

"Same here, I'm going to give up drink. Seriously though, all of us went off to talk with some guys and my alarm went off at two for us to walk home and when we went looking for you, we couldn't find you. Where were you?" My eyes begin to well up with tears. "Zavy, what's happened?!" She brings me to her chest in a hug and I cry into it. "You can tell me anything, Zavy, I won't judge."

"I did something bad," I confide, crying harder.

"Just tell me, Zavy, I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. I'll help you through whatever it is."

"I slept with someone and I regret it so much," I tell her and break down in more tears. She soothes me and rubs my back.

"Shh, Zavy, it's okay, who was it?" I shake my head because I can't tell her. "Zavy, I'm your sister, you can tell me anything. That's what we do. Like I said, I won't judge, you're a good girl, this doesn't change anything."

"It does, I'm not one anymore now. It was Hayden, stupid fucking asshole Hayden."

"That motherfucker, I'm going to kill him for using you while you were in that condition."

"No, you can't talk to him. I just want to forget about it and never talk to him ever again. He was being sweet and got this guy away from me who was annoying me and then he asked me for a dance and I was too drunk to say no to dancing and going to his bedroom with him. He was only being really nice to get me to do it with him. He never even apologised for how he was to be those years ago, it's like he forgot about his years as a kid and the start of his teenager years. You can't tell anyone, please, Ofelia."

"I promise, your secret's safe with me. One day he'll realise his mistake of taking advantage of you and leaving you for the others and apologise. You deserve much better than him anyway, Xaviera. I still can't believe it, you're so badass, Zavy!" We both burst out chuckling and she wipes my tears away and I give her a slight smile. "Damn, you had sex before me! What was it like? Give me details!"

"It was really, really good and the best experience of my life. It hurt at first but it went away soon afterwards. He is so hot, Lia, it was so amazing. I just wish it was with someone I loved, I wanted to wait for the right person," I admit.

"I know, Zavy, so do I. It doesn't matter though, it happened, you can't take it back. I thought you'd end up with Lane, not Hayden! That's such a turn of events. If Mum and Dad ask, you came home at 2 with me. They weren't awake to see if we came home, so I just said we came home together when I had breakfast this morning. You better go say good morning to them or they'll be wondering if we drunk anything last night. They've no idea about us drinking, don't tell them."

"I won't, I don't want to get in shit. Can you come down with me?" I ask.

"Of course, let's go. Mum's at work but Dad's here still." We walk to the sitting room and I see my brothers watching TV.

"It's about time you woke up!" Andrew notes as we sit beside them. "That must have been like 12 hours' sleep!"

"I was tired from it, I was dancing a lot," I say, which isn't technically a lie.
