The Badboy Project

Chapter Three

I slowly wake up, warmer than usual, but no surprise a banging headache. Ugh FML again. This is a record with how crap this week has been. It's Saturday, so i'm able to sleep in a little bit more. I move backward a bit when i hear a quiet grunt... 

"Morning darling, do you mind not grinding against me in the morning" 

My whole body freezes. I look down at myself and see that I'm just in a men's t-shirt, that has now ridden up to my waist. I slowly turn around, and I'm met with those bright blue eyes. I look down at him, to see that he's only in his boxers, which looks like a tent at the moment. My eyes pause at his chest and i slowly take everything in. Why the hell is Zachary Emmerson in my bed!

"And what the hell do you think you're doing" I scream at him covering myself. 

"Uh, do you not remember anything from last night?" Zach questions. 

"No, and thank God for that, if this is what has happened." I scream. "By the time, I leave the shower you better get the hell out" 

I walked away from him, disgusted that any of that even happened. Why on earth would I have sex with him, when I'm with Peter. Oh God, Peter. What am I going to tell him. As i walk away from him I can hear him mutter under his breath. 

"You were a hell of a lot nicer when you were drunk" 

I ignore it, and step into the shower, trying to erase Zach from my body. I can't think of why I would do this. I can't remember anything from last night. All I can remember is dancing with Allie, and everything else is a blur. I could have sworn I stopped after three drinks. I shuttered in disgust. I finish up and wrap a towel around my body and step into my bedroom. No sign of Zach, thank God but my bed is made and on top of my pillow is a note. 

Since you want to be in charge, here's my number, you can message me when you're free to do our project, or whenever you actually remember what happened last night darling ;) 

Zach xoxo

Ugh, he's so full of himself. I ignore the note and carry on with my day. I decided to scroll through Instagram, to see if i can piece together what happened last night. I look through the stories and see multiple pictures of me and Peter, me looking uncomfortable, then another where hes making me drink something. Okay weird. Then there's another photo of Allie and Lewis, i giggle at this. The next is Zach carrying me out of the party. I zoom into the picture and it looks like I'm crying, and I'm grasping onto him for dear life. What the hell happened in between these two photos. i get a notification from Allie. 

Allie

Hey girl, how are you. I'm dying :( Can we have a movie day today, ill bring snacks xx

Me

Yes babe!! I'm dying too, although I don't know why, cause I could've sworn I didn't drink much last night xxx

Allie 

Yeah, weird. You stopped drinking well before me. Tell me all about it I'll be five minutes xxx

Me 

Okay, see you soon xx

I close my phone off, and dress in grey sweats and a black crop top, and get the bedroom all set up for our movie day, making sure to change the sheets. I looked at the men's t-shirt and I picked it up, I've definitely never seen it before. I lift it up to my nose and it smells just like Zach. I take a deep breath allowing myself to take it in. I shake myself off and hang the top up away from my closet and in a spare closet space. I don't know why, but i figured, I may as well look after it. I rub my head, it's getting even worse. I look by my bedside table and there is a glass of water and two aspirin. I take them and hope to God that it works as soon as possible. 

My door opens and Allie walks in, looking rough as ever. 

"You look like you've been through the wars Allie" I say

"You don't look too good yourself" she joked getting into my bed, arranging all the snacks to post on her story. 

"Do you remember anything from last night?" I ask her.

"No why, you sound worried, what's up?" Allie replies, eyeing me up suspiciously. 

"So, um Zach was in my bed this morning" I whisper looking down. 

"WHAT" Allie shouts and flinches at the loud sound

"Yeah, I don't remember anything Allie" I say, playing with my ring.

"Did you have sex with him?" 

"I honestly don't know. All I know is i woke up in his t-shirt and he was only in his boxers" I say 

"Okay, let's put our heads together and figure out what happened last night. Things aren't adding up Steph" She replies 

We both look at all of our social media. 30 minutes later I see Lewis' story of Peter being beaten up. I show Allie and she looks shocked. We continue to deep dive into our socials to try and figure out the story line. My headache is finally going away, as it does pieces of last night come back to me. Until i remember what Peter did to me. 

"Oh my gosh, Allie" I whispered, a tear falling from my face 

She comes to me grabbing my face, "what is it? Did you find anything?" she asked me worried 

"P-Peter, he tried to have sex with me" 

"What, did you want to?" she asked 

"No, I knew I didn't drink much. Peter forced me to drink something" I showed her the photo of me Peter forcing me to drink a cup of something. She looked angry. 

"Then all i can remember is Zach coming in, and then he carried me and brought me home. Oh my gosh Allie I was such a bitch to him. I have to apologise to him. He looked after me, when he didn't have to" I say looking at her anxiously 

Allie was silent for a beat, which never happens, the girl always has something to say. She came over and gave me a hug. "I'm so sorry that happened to you" she says hugging me tighter. 

"It's okay, Zach got there before anything properly happened." I open my phone and see all the missed calls from Peter, text messages saying how sorry he was. I decided to text him. 

Me 

We're over, don't bother texting me.

I then blocked his number, not waiting for a response. I don't know what else to do. I look at the sticky note that Zach left, and read over it. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say to him. I look at Allie for advice. She just shrugs her shoulders. 

Me

I'm sorry, I remember everything. Can we talk?

An hour passes and still no reply. Allie leaves shortly after giving me a kiss on the cheek and telling me to ring her if I needed. I lie in bed, watching reruns of the big bang theory. Wearing his t-shirt to bed. I can't explain it. It brings me comfort. Once i get tucked up under the covers i get a notification....
