(Erin's Point of View)

So here I was, back in London again. This time for a weekend away to relax and not to see Andy. I was so glad I wasn't down here to see him because that would mean seeing Ryan. I definitely didn't want to have to face him. I threw my bags onto the bed in the hotel room I had booked and flopped onto the other spare bed. After that train journey all the way from Scotland I was glad to finally just collapse on a bed. However I wasn't planning on staying in all night to relax. I wanted to go out to a few different clubs I never had the chance to go to when I was here last. I unzipped my suitcase and started pulling out clothes and throwing them behind me onto the bed. Finally I pulled out my favourite dress and heels and set them on the other bed before heading into the bathroom to go sort myself out. When I finished in the shower like half an hour later I set about sorting my hair and make up out. After that, I finally got to put my dress and heels on. I checked myself over in the mirror and smiled at myself. I grabbed my bag and room key before heading out the door. I checked my phone for the time as I walked into the lift. Nine o'clock. Perfect, the best time to start heading to clubs. I grabbed a taxi and said the first club name I could think of. It just so happened to be the same club I'd went to with the boys a while back. I didn't bother with changing where I was going. I mean if I saw them then so what. I paid the driver and climbed out the taxi and was surprised that the queue wasn't that long. It only took ten minutes before I was finally in the club. I pushed my way through the crowd and headed towards the bar. I was already gasping for a drink with the heat in the room and I'd basically just walked in. I reached the bar and waited for one of the barmen to come and take my order. 

   "Can I buy you a drink?" a deep voice from next to me said. I turned and smiled. 

   "You can. Save me buying it." I said with a wink. "Vodka and coke." I added. He put in our order to the barman.

   "Vodka and coke it is. What's your name?" he said, shouting slightly as the music blared louder. 

   "Erin! Yours?" I asked back. 

   "Jake." he answered. He handed me my drink and then picked up his beer bottle. "Want to dance?" he asked. I nodded and followed him to an empty space on the floor. The song changed and we both started to dance. I was surprised I could manage with the heels I had put on. We tried talking but the music was too loud to start with until we moved over to a booth near the back. I spent ages talking to him until a few hours later I started to look around the club and my face fell when I spied him. Andy was the first one out of them who I seen. Then Adam, Joel, some girl with Joel and lastly Ryan. He looked even better than when I last seen him which I didn't even know was possible. 

   "Are you okay?" Jake asked. I turned back to him and nodded. "You sure? You look like you've seen a ghost." he said. 

   "No, I'm great. Fantastic. Want to dance again?" I asked. He grinned and stood up and took my hand, leading me towards the floor where we started dancing again. 

(Ryan's Point of View)

   "Guys seriously I don't want to go out!" I whined as the three lads pestered me. 

   "Ryan come on! It's Joanne's first time in London and I want to take her to a club for a night out. Andy and Adam are up for it." Joel said. I internally sighed. That's right Joel's girlfriend was here. I had nothing against Joanne. She was so lovely. It just reminded me of the fact I messed things up with Erin by not remembering I had kissed her. 

   "Alright fine! I'm not doing it for you three. I'll do it for Joanne. Someone has to help her get you lot home safely." I said and went to get ready. Half eleven and we were all ready and in a taxi heading to the usual club. Adam and Andy were sat talking to each other, Joel and Joanne being all sickly and lovey, then there was me on my own staring either at my phone or out the window. I was so relieved when we pulled up outside the club. I flew out the car and into the club as there was no queue outside.
