CLAIRE'S POV

"Owen, should I straighten my hair?" I called out. "No, it looks cute curly" he called back from the bathroom. It was Owen's idea to go out to a night club. He said it would be good for me to let off some steam and to distract myself from the incident. Owen was wearing a casual shirt and trousers and I wore a black mini dress with heels. I heard the taxi pull up outside, "Owen can you go downstairs I think the taxi's here" I said whilst applying my mascara. I heard Owen walked downstairs and open the front door; he's so heavy footed. "Claire, hurry up!...please" Owen whined from downstairs. "Two seconds" I called back. I finished my makeup and ran downstairs to slip on my heels. I wasn't really looking forwards to going but at least I would be with Owen. "Let's go babe" Owen said closing the front door. "Babe?!¿" I questioned raising an eyebrow. "Yeah you're my babe now, is that okay?" He said opening the taxi door for me. "Errm, I guess, yeah" I said awkwardly as I blushed.

Owen was holding my hand as we walked in the club. Music was blaring from the speaker, people were dancing and being loud, there was groups of people surrounding the bar. It was an atmosphere I wasn't used too. "Relax" Owen spoke into my ear, he could obviously tell I was tense. "Two mojitos please" Owen said leaning on the bar. We talked for a bit whilst we had our drinks, then we hit the dance floor.

OWEN'S POV

Once we hit the dance floor, Claire seemed to be enjoying herself. I notice blonde hair girl kept looking at me and flipping her hair. She did look good, I will not lie but I was with Claire. Luckily for me Claire hadn't seen the girl staring; I was relieved as I didn't know how she would react. "Do you wanna get some shots?" I shouted over the music to Claire. She nodded and took my hand as we made our way back to the bar. I could tell that she was having a good time, I couldn't stop grinning at her. Seeing her happy made me happy. We linked arms and had shot after shot. 1...2...3...4...I lost count after that. I knew we'd have an awful hangover tomorrow but I didn't care.

Claire and I went back to dance to booming music. I noticed the blondie staring again but I shrugged it off. Ten minutes later Claire went to go to the bathroom. As soon as Claire left, the blonde immediately made her way over to me. "Hey, let's dance" She said leading me into the centre of the dance floor. The alcohol had obviously got to my head as I didn't mention I was with Claire. We danced for a bit before I asked her if she wanted a drink. After I had finished my 3rd drink she asked "do you want another". "Nah, Nah, honey I'm good. I could have another but I probably should not". We kept talking for a while and I had completely forgotten Claire. "Where are staying tonight?" She asked placing her hand on mine. "Ah, baby, no, baby, you got me all wrong, baby" I noticed Claire staring at us then running out. "My baby's already has all my love" my eyes followed Claire. I saw the blonde girls expression turn sour. She got up and chucked her drink on me. I was shocked but got up and ran after Claire.

A rush of cold air hit my face hard. I squinted into night frantically searching for Claire. I spotted her getting in a cab. "Claire, wait!" I called out running up to the door. "Save it" she spat at me. I knew she was hurting, who could blame her. I promise her a good night out and then I ruined it. How could I of been so stupidly selfish. I called a taxi to drop me off at Claire's. I lingered at the door. What if see never wanted to see again. What if she kicks me out, I would have to spend the night  on the streets. Owen just be a man and go in. I turned the spare key and opened the door. All the lights were off but I knew she was in as her black heels were right in front of the door. I didn't know whether I should go upstairs or not. I walked into the living room. I switched on the lights to find a blanket and a pillow on the couch along with a note. It read you can sleep down here tonight, I had really done it now. How could I've been soo stupid. I growled in frustration at myself. I ran my hands through my hair trying to think, how could I fix this mess. I could feel my anger boiling up inside of me. I kicked the corner of the sofa to let my aggression out. "Fxck!" I shouted quietly, I stubbed my toe but I had to be quiet as Claire was sleeping. I hopped over to the arm chair resting my head in my hands. Out of all of my mistakes, this is the one I regret the most. "How could I be so stupid" I muttered to myself. The house then returned to absolute silence.

A/N: Hey guys, I hope you like the drama. If some of the stuff Owen said was a bit weird, it's because they're song lyrics from HONEY I'M GOOD by ANDY GRAMMER. I'm in love with that song atm. Anyways... I updated twice in one day ;))) 
Bye for now✌🏾️
