This party was amazing. Except the fact I hadnt seen imogen all afternoon, she’d disappeared after her fight with Bella. I still hadn’t found her. I kept calling her phone but she wouldn’t pick up. I’d searched the house but she was gone.
Bella had been near me all night but I was far to polite to say anything to her, I wasn’t really up for world war 3, especially as I was totally smashed. About an hour ago I’d heard ash and Shaun fighting, I’d seen ash leave and hadn’t seen Shaun since. Alcohol didn’t ever work out at our parties, something always went wrong.
“jump, I found imogen. Can you come talk to her?” Bradie had appeared from being anti social for most of the night, but he looked pretty worried so i didn’t bother arguing.
He led me upstairs into the spare room, ims was curled up on the bed with her back to the door. Bradie gave me a small smile and disappeared, leaving me alone with ims.
I lay down on the bed and wrapped my arms around her waist, instead of her usual turning around and hugging me back she stayed stiffly facing the other way. Her breathing was uneven, sort of sounding like she was crying. I switched on the lamp and put my hand to her cheek, two tears dripped perfectly onto my palm.
“you okay?”
“no”
She let out a shuddering breath and more tears started to drip down her cheeks. I found a tissue in my pocket and wiped them away before dropping a kiss lightly on her lips.
“tell me what’s up”
Silence.
“ims?”
Silence. More silence. Followed by
“I’m really really sorry, we were drunk and I was hurting and I just wanted a distraction and and and…” she started crying harder, not looking me in the face.
“um ims? I don’t know what you’ve done..?”
She smiled a tiny bit, despite the misery she’d been showing.
“you’re slurring. You’re drunk, you should sleep..”
“I don’t want to, I want to be here with you”
She sighed and kissed me back before getting off the bed and telling me she was going to get us some juice because she had a headache. To be honest, so did i. I was so ready for sleep, all the alcohol I’d drunk was not doing wonders for my health. She came back a few minutes later with some tropical juice and salt and vinegar chips, it wasn’t until I saw them that I realised I was starving. We drunk and ate in silence for a few minutes before I had to start pressing again, I had to know why she was so upset.
“please tell me what happened”
“you’re going to hate me, and I don’t want that to happen”
I laughed, lightly.
“I couldn’t hate you. Come on, the worst thing you could have done is have drunk sex…”
“she looked guilty, chewed her lip and couldn’t meet my eye again.
“you did. With who?” I tried keeping the disappointment out of my voice but it didn’t work.
“Shaun” she muttered before bursting into another round of I’m sorry and crying and everything else. I didn’t want to hear it.
“Jesus ims, why?” was all I said before I left the room, slamming the door and leaving her calling for me
