Still The One [Sequel to Smile]

Chapter 9

A couple warnings before you start reading:
1. Any Italian used is directly from google translate so I apologize if I make a mistake or offend anyone.
2. I live in Scotland and have no clue about New York (or America for that matter) so street names, locations etc are just rubbish. I'm sorry.

3. There may be a bit of swearing so heads up.

Thank you.

Enjoy!

Chapter 9

*Tori's POV*

~Song: Love the Way you lie by Eminem and Rihanna~

I sat up and rubbed my head, scanning the empty room and trying to remember last nights events. I groaned as my head began to pound and dragged myself out of bed.

I made my way to the living room, leaning on the wall for support.

"Look who's awake." Liz grinned as she tidied up the mess we had left last night.

"Shhh." Avan groaned from the sofa. I walked over to him, sitting down beside him and resting my head on his shoulder.

"What are you wearing?" Liz asked me as I shut my eyes.

"Harry's jumper." I mumbled, trying to ignore the thumping in my head.

"Why?"Liz questioned. I ignored her, leaning further into Avan. I slowly began drifting in and out of sleep in the comfortable silence.

Just as I was about to fall asleep I heard a vibrating sound on the table.

Avan shifted, "Someone better answer that before i-"

"Baby, Now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love-"

"I've got it." Liz walked over and picked up my phone

"Hello?" She answered. "Oh hey Tony."

I opened my eyes ant sat up straight at the sound of my dad's name, instantly regretting it as pain shot through my head.

"Um.. she's asleep." Liz lied.

"Okay, that's cool." Liz smirked at me.

"See you then." She said, hanging up.

"What is it?" I asked her, dreading her answer.

"Your dad's five minutes away." She told me. I stood up quickly.

"Oh my gosh. I need to go shower. Clean this place out. Leave no evidence of alcohol." I told them, leaving to have a shower.

After having a quick shower and making myself look presentable, I slowly made my way back to the living room, wincing slightly at my father's booming voice.

I don't understand why I always drink so much, especially since I know that I'm going to wake up the morning after with the inevitable hangover. I just hoped that I hadn't done anything to embarrass myself last night as I had a tendency for that sort of thing.

"Tori!" My dad stood up and grinned as I entered the room. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, sleeves rolled up with black pants.

"Ciao papà." I smiled, walking over and hugging him. "Mi sei mancato" (I miss you)

"Mi sei mancato anche." (I miss you too), He said, letting go of me and sitting down. I sat down beside, facing Avan who was forcing himself to keep his eyes open. Liz glanced at him and rolled her eyes, making me giggle slightly.
