(Erins's Point of View)

It had been two months since I last seen Andy. We'd texted and called a few times but he was in London for good now. He now had a band, Lawson. I was actually going down to London to spend time with him and meet the band. He'd told me I would get along well with the lads but I guess I would just have to wait and see. I got off the train finally and headed out to the front of the station with my bag to find Andy standing against a wall looking down at his phone. 

   "Andy!" I shouted and smiled when he looked up at me. 

   "Finally! Was beginning to think you weren't coming." he laughed and took my bag off of me and led me towards a taxi.

   "Yeah the train was late and I was going to text you but my phone died." I explained as we got into a taxi. Andy gave him the address. 

   "That's just typical Erin. Well you're here now and the lads can't wait to meet you." he said. I raised an eyebrow at him.

   "Why would they be excited to meet me? What have you told them Pandy?" I asked dreading the thought of what he's said to these guys. 

   "What you're like when you're drunk. Ryan's looking forward to seeing that tonight when we go out." he smirked. I slapped his shoulder and leant my head back.

   "I cannot believe you've told them how horrible I am when I get drunk. That bar incident was a one time thing!" I said referring back to the first time Andy took me out to a club and I got so drunk I started dancing on the bar.

   "Yeah well he's hoping you get that drunk again cause he wants to see this for himself." I just glared at him as we pulled up in front of a house that was pretty damn amazing. I jumped out the taxi with Andy at my back. He handed me my bag and then paid the driver. I turned to Andy with my mouth slightly open.

   "You live here now? Its gorgeous Andy." I said. "Who knew you actually had taste?" I smirked and started walking up the path to the door. I stopped and waited as he pulled his keys out and unlocked the door.

   "Lads! You in? Got someone I want you to meet." he called through the house.

   "We're in here." a voice called from the room just up the hall on the right. Andy walked ahead and into what I was guessing was the living room. He stuck his head back round the door and looked at me.

   "You coming or what? They don't bite." I nodded my head and set my bag down before following after him. I walked into the living room to see three other guys sat around on the sofa's. One was by the window on his phone. He had lightish brown hair and was pretty good looking. However I couldn't see his face properly as he was on his phone. Another was sat with a pair of drumsticks beating against the cushions on the sofa. Again, he was really good looking with brown hair. The third was sat on the sofa closest to where I was stood. Not going to lie, I almost fainted when I saw him. He was absolutely gorgeous. Blonde hair and had a few tattoos which I found really attractive.

   "Right lads, this is Erin. The girl you've heard so much about." Andy said and they all looked up at me which made me want to walk right back out. I was not good at meeting people for the first time. Especially these guys who Andy's said so much about me to.

   "You alright? I'm Joel." the guy who had been sat by the window on his phone said. I smiled at him and shook his hand when he stood up and held it out to me. When I got a proper look at his face he was really good looking. I instantly thought whoever his girlfriend was was really lucky. 

   "I'm Adam." the lad who was obviously the drummer from what I'd seen a few minutes ago said. Again, he stood up to shake my hand and I noticed how small he was compared to Andy and Joel. Lastly, the blonde beauty spoke.

   "I'm Ryan and can I just say I cannot wait to see you drunk from what Andy's told me." he said with a hint of a smirk playing on his face. I instantly felt my face heat up and knew I was blushing. They three of them looked my age which was 19 compared to Andy who was 22.

   "It's really nice to meet you three. Now Andy can you show me where I'm sleeping? Cause I kind of want to get changed out of this." I said looking up at him.

   "Yeah sure follow me." he replied and took my hand leading me out of the room.

So I'd been in London for four hours now and we were now all heading out to a few clubs. I'd gotten to know each of the boys a bit better now apart from Ryan. He was the one I hadn't really seen since I first met him. I sat down at the table we had somehow managed to succeed in getting in the crowded club. I turned and looked at Joel.

   "So Joel, got a girlfriend?" I asked. All he had done so far was look at his phone.

   "No why?" he asked me back. I looked at him then at his phone which was in his hand.

   "Because you haven't let your phone out of your sight and you keep checking it. Almost like you're waiting for a reply." I pointed out. He sighed and set the phone down on the table.

   "There's a girl back home I met. She's amazing in every way. However she wants nothing to do with me." he started off saying.

   "Why?" I asked cutting him off.

   "Cause I'm a cocky, arrogant twat. And she's right. I am. Well I was. I'm trying to change and make her see I can change and hopefully she'll agree to go out with me." he finished explaining. I nodded in understanding.

   "You don't seem cocky and arrogant from what I've seen." I said.

   "Well I was, even Ry will agree but he's even noticed that I've started to change from what I was." I let out an involuntary aww. I found it cute he was trying to change just to be with this girl. Whoever she was was lucky cause not many guys would do that. I was about to reply and keep the conversation going when I was pulled up out of my seat by Ryan and dragged onto the dancefloor. He handed me a shot glass and I downed it at the same time he drank his.

   "Come on then. I want to see this dancing on tables." he said and I got shivers down my spine as he had to come right up against my ear to say it over the thumping music. I was spun around and now faced Andy who was grinning at me and handed me a vodka and coke which he knew was my drink, obviously he'd know that. I smiled and took a sip of the freezing cold drink, letting it cool me down in the stuffy room. A few hours later and to say the least I was completely and utterly drunk. I was in London for the first time ever though. Like I wasn't going to party. I drank another shot and scrunched my face up at the sourness of it. Luckily I had another drink next to me to take a sip off to rid myself of the taste. I glanced over the dancefloor and found Andy, clinging onto Joel and Adam, jumping up and down to the music. I looked back over to the table we had managed to get at the start of the night and found Ryan, on top of it dancing. He caught sight of me and waved me over. I looked back over to where the other three had been and found them making a pathway to the exit. Obviously needing some fresh air now. I turned back to where Ryan was and made my way through the crowd over to him, stumbling into people a few times. He grinned drunkenly at me.

   "Now I think it's time for me to see this table dancing you do when drunk." he slurred and winked at me before grabbing onto my hand and helping me up onto the table. When I was up on the table I seriously couldn't control what happened. My drunk self just took over and nothing could stop me. I started to dance with Ryan and could feel the music pouding in my chest. We were dancing on the table for a while until somehow, I tripped over Ryan's foot. My instant reaction was to grab onto him but that ended up in me pulling him down with me. Luckily I fell on top of him so I had a landing. We just looked at each other and started giggling like crazy. Then I seriously don't know what made me do it. I don't even know which of us instigated it. But, in that moment, drunk, giggling and on the floor with my ex's bandmate, I leant down and pressed my lips against his as he met me halfway.
