Destroy me

Chapter 10 - Niamh - He can save me

I woke that next morning with my head throbbing. Oh my god, what had I done. I looked down at myself and noticed I was in a large men's t shirt. Oh my god. What who had I done?!

I tried to stand quickly, but my stomach kicked in and saw me running for the toilet to throw up. I was so stupid last night. Coke, E's. What else had I done after that. Then it hit me. Marco.

I felt sick, which caused me to go running to my en-suite again.

After emptying the contents of my stomach I paced back to my bedroom and proceeded to change into jeans and a copped top, topped off with a sweatshirt. I looked at my face and rubbed off the make up I'd had on and pulled my hair into a Scrunchy. This was not my most flattering look, but I had to find Marco.

Putting my converse on I raced down the stairs to see my mother, father, Antonio and my sister getting ready to leave. my mother smiled "Oh sweetie. You're up. Marco said you hadn't been feeling well last night so he brought you home. Wasn't that kind of him! We were going to wake you prior to join us for brunch, but Marco said some food hadn't agreed with your stomach and we thought it best to leave you."

"How sweet of him." I don't think I even convinced myself with that one. "What about Danny?"

My father spoke up this time "He's not coming. Said he'd stay with you. Marco's also staying as are few of the men that don't have the day off. If you still don't feel well later get someone to call Dr. Michaels." He turned to head for the door, but stopped, "and Niamh," he faced me again, "Don't forget to look at those college brochures." He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. With that they all followed him out as he left.

I waved them off and hastily made my way to find Marco. I was in luck because as I headed for the garden I saw him sitting on the patio, looking stunning in a grey shirt and dress pants. He noticed me and put his coffee down.

"Go for a run and a dip in the pool. Ten times better for a come down than coffee and aspirin" he Lowered his sun glasses and looked up at me. "You want coffee and aspirin?" I nodded and sat opposite him. As he pushed forward the aspirin and poured me a coffee.

I took both willingly then looked at him expecting some arrogant remark, yet one never came. "Was that your shirt I woke up in?"

He laughed lightly, "It doesn't matter, what matters is. You're very welcome I covered for you. No they won't find out. Danny is very sorry and..." He sighed and took his sun glasses fully off. "So am I."

"What?!" I was shocked by this. "Why are you sorry, what did you do?" His brows furried. "I mean why was I in your shirt?"

"You fell asleep. I got changed so you weren't uncomfortable. Or cold."

I physically relaxed, "so we didn't. You know?" His facial expression grew hard. "what you think I'd have sex with a girl who's unconscious?! I'm not a monster!"

God I didn't know what to think. "No I just thought you might not remember it"

His fingers edged round his coffee cup, "what do you remember?"

"You lied to me. I remember that." A smiled found his lips. "You wanted to be an adult. Act like one and forget about last night. It was a mistake. I Shouldn't have - We shouldn't have, done anything. You shouldn't have gone to the club. I should've told you to leave.." Then it was my turn to cut through him "but you didn't stop anything. You didn't tell me to leave but you did tell me to fuck myself, literally. And I did because I wanted to, you'd be lying if you told me you didn't want to!"

His faced grew hard and cold. "What I want is beside the matter at hand, which is we can't be together, like you seem to want. This isn't a game, I'm not some high school kid you can lead around by his dick. But you know that!"
