I'll Fix Your Broken Heart (Lawson Fanfic)

Chapter Ten - What Happened That Night?

(A/N) The paragraph all in italics is Ryan's flashback. Just thought I'd explain that in case people got confused. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Ryan's Point of View)

Erin had been gone a week now. I kept trying to think of what I possibly could have done to make her hate me so much or be the way she was with me. I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling trying to figure it out. Had I done something that night when we went out? God what if I done something horrible when I was drunk. I could of insulted her or anything that night. I was so drunk I couldn't even remember anything after Joel talking to Erin about Joanne at the table. I heard a knock at my door and sat up. 

   "Come on in." I called. The door creaked open to show Joel. He was down for the week to go through some band stuff before heading back to Nottingham for his first date with Joanne. 

   "You alright mate? Hardly seen you the past few days." he said leaning against the wardrobe. I shook my head. 

   "Not really. Going out my mind trying to figure out why Erin was that way with me." I explained. "I don't think I even done anything. I barely spoke to the girl whilst she was here." Joel looked at me and sighed. 

   "You'll figure it out." he said quietly. "Ads and Andy are going out into town if you want to go with them." he added. 

   "Yeah I will. Take my mind off this. You not coming?" I asked. He shook his head with a massive grin plastered across his face. 

   "Nah, waiting on Joanne phoning me after college." he said. This was honestly the happiest I've seen him in a long time. He turned and headed out my room shutting the door behind him. I stood up and started to get changed for going into town with the lads. 

   "RYAN! Come on! We want to go now, not in ten years." Adam called up the stairs. 

   "Chill out! Just grabbing my wallet." I shouted back. I picked up my wallet and headed out the door and ran down the stairs. Andy threw my hoody at me and grinned. 

   "Let's go lads. Leave Joel to play lover boy over the phone." he smirked and practically shoved Adam and I out the door. We headed down the street towards the town. We only lived a 15 minute walk from the city centre so it wasn't that bad. I was silent for half the walk until the pair of them noticed. 

   "Ry what's up?" Adam asked. I sighed and looked at the ground before looking back up. 

   "Erin. I can't even remember if I've done anything to her for her to act like this with me. I mean I barely got the chance to speak to her whilst she was here." I said. I caught the two of them look at each other before looking away from the other. "Alright, you two know something. What is it?" I asked.

   "Erin told me what was up. And Adam found out when we were in Nottingham last week." Andy explained. I just looked at the pair of them. How could they know and not tell me? I didn't want to be the dick who didn't even know what he had done.

   "Was it to do with that night in the club?" I asked. They both just nodded. "What happened that night?!" I asked. 

   "We aren't gonna explain it all to you. Just try and think as hard as you can about that night. We know you were drunk and can't remember but try. It'll be better if you figure it out yourself." Andy said and then him and Adam left me and walked off into a Starbucks. I followed after and sat down at a table whilst they headed up to the counter. I was determined to remember what happened. 

I glanced around the crowded club. I locked my eyes on a table and grabbed my bottle fo beer before making a bee line for it. I shoved past people drunk as hell and apologised with slurred words. I found myself stumbling over to the table we had been sat at to begin with. Surprisingly it was empty. I climbed up onto the table and started dancing, drink in hand. I scanned the crowded club and caught sight of Erin over by the bar. I grinned and waved her over to the table. I kept my eyes on her as I watched her look the other way then back at me. She began to make her way through the crowd towards me. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was stunning. I watched her stumble into a few people and apologise drunkenly. She finally reached me and I grinned at her. 

   "Now I think it's time for me to see this table dancing you do when drunk." I slurred and winked at her before grabbing onto her hand and helping her up onto the table. When she was up on the table she started to dance with me. We were dancing on the table for a while until somehow, she tripped over my foot. I don't even know how it had happened. I felt her grab onto me but that just ended up with the pair of us falling off the table. I landed first, on my back then Erin came crashign down on top of me. My instant reaction was to start laughing. She was too. We were clearly very, very drunk. Then, I don't know what happened but she started to move closer towards me. I copied, inching my face closer to hers. But, in that moment, drunk, giggling and on the floor with my bandmate's friend, I reached up and pressed my lips against her as she met me halfway.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Andy setting a drink in front of me. 

   "You alright mate?" he asked. I nodded. 

   "I'm more than alright. I know what happened that night." I answered. Adam and Andy just looked at me encouraging me to continue with what I was saying. I smiled to myself. Although I didn't know whether to say it to them or not. I mean I did kiss Andy's mate. He might hate me for it.

   "What happened then?" Adam asked, taking a sip of his drink. 

   "Right Andy, I know she's your mate and all but don't kill me for this." I said firstly. Andy just looked at me. 

   "I won't hate you. I know already remember. Or were you drunk when we said that we knew?" he asked clearly taking the piss out of me. 

   "I kissed Erin." I said.
