Will broken hearts find their way back to each other?

Lucy's POV:

The girls have arrived. I'm pretty nervous to be honest. I'm scared to be near Keira and I'm scared to mess up. For some reason I keep forgetting I'm with Ona. It's so annoying because...

I don't know why I said that. It's not annoying.

"WHO WANTS DRINKS?" Georgia shouts. Of course all the girls scream yes. You can tell this is going to be a wild night.

After about 2 hours of getting pretty drunk together we all form a circle. I'm not going to lie, I'm off my head at this point!!

"Righttttt let's play truth or dare!!" Leah slurs and once again all the girls scream. Looks like there is no way out of this. I can't leave to go back to our room BECAUSE I AM IN IT! Shit.

As we make our way round, it's Beth's turn to ask a question and of course it's for me. Yay. "Lucy I dare you to kiss the one and only Keira Walsh." Oh for fuck sake. She clearly must be severely drunk because she knows we are separated. I don't say anything at this point in time because I'm quite shocked. My body won't seem to move.

Then all of a sudden Keira starts shouting, clearly hammered too. "Absolutely fucking not. You are a cheating piece of shit. How dare you do that to me after we had been together all those years." Everyone is shocked. I am shocked. I can't say anything. Keira stands up and starts walking closer to me. "ANSWER ME FOR FUCK SAKE." I can't move. "LUCY WHY WONT YOU FUCKING ANSWER ME???? YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" I still can't move.

Then luckily Leah gets up and drags Keira away. She's clearly more on the sober side now. I guess it's because of being captain.

They both leave to fuck knows where. I actually still can't move. I don't know what is happening. A tear falls down my cheek, yet I can't do anything to hide it. I'm showing weakness and I'm showing that I can't stand up for myself. And at this moment I can't stop it even though I wish I could. God, I wish I could.

There are a few whispers around me and gasps. I know they are taking about me but what can I do??

"Alright girls that's enough. I think you should all leave now. Thank you for coming, I will see you all in the morning. Make sure to have water to flush the alcohol out. See you tomorrow." Georgia commands this to everyone and one by one the room falls empty.

She kneels down next to me and grabs my hand, giving it a squeeze. "Come on now Luce. Let's get to bed." Fuck sake why can't I move.

"It's okay. It's okay. She's not here anymore, come one let's go to bed. Please Lucy." She tries to lift me up and luckily I move out of my trance.

We get changed and she sits next to me, giving me a warming hug. I melt into her body and let my tears flow. "It's okay, I've got you." Georgia calmly says, rocking me back and fourth.

I guess after I left Keira I haven't really had the chance to feel my emotions. I moved on so quickly and I was so wrapped up in my new relationship, that I forgot to be upset. I forgot to realise the enormity of what I had truly done. But now. I can finally let it out. Keira is gone and I can just have time to really let it out.

"T-thank you G." I slowly slip out in between tears. She didn't have to do this for me. She didn't have to stick by my side. She is friends with Keira, so why would she do this for me?? I wish I could question it, but my body is empty. My heart is empty.

She strokes my head then lets go of me. We go to bed and I lie down facing towards Leah and Keira's bed. I wonder when they will be back.

Georgia gives my shoulder a rub and turns away. I can't thank her enough. Honestly i can't.

I guess what seems to be an hour or two later, Keira and Leah come back trying to be as quiet as possible. Georgia is sound asleep, but it did wake me up. I do have to pretend to be asleep otherwise I don't think it would go down very well. I slightly open my eyes. Keira is lying opposite me, with Leah on the other side.
