Head over Heels || book one.

Smooth sailing on rough waters

Sarah’s POV

Josh came back late last night with alcohol in his breath. I could smell it before I saw him. He wasn’t overly drunk, but I could smell it in his breath. “Hey.” He mumbled.

“So, who’d you hang out with?” I asked curiously.

“You know this and that.” He muttered and lay down next to me.

“How much have you been drinking? And did you drive home?” I asked more concerned now, than before.

“Nah, I didn’t drive home, and I don’t think I’ve had more than three drinks.” He mumbled.

“Three!” I shrieked, then I rolled my eyes. I didn’t know how bad three drinks were, especially considering I’d never had a drink. I held myself up on my elbows and looked over at him.

“It was nothing.” He brushed me off and looked away from me.

“I’m sure it was not ‘nothing’.” I stated commando crawling closer to him. “And what do you mean you ‘don’t think’ you’ve have more than three drinks. Do you even remember what you did today?”

He sighed, frustrated that I wouldn’t drop it right then and there. “Why do you have to be so clingy? You have to know how much I drank and who I hung out with don’t you?” He then rolled over and faced me this time. Shit he was close.

I tried to back myself away, but his icy half-drunk glare, froze me to where I was. “I’m not trying to be clingy, I just want you to be safe.” I whispered.

“I know.” He sighed, and opened his arms and I pretty much fell in them. He wrapped his arms around my waist and snuggled up to me. “So, did Harry tell you about Alice then?” He asked.

“Yeah.” I replied hesitantly.

He laughed softly. “I don’t know anyone called Alice. But he’s told that to my last girlfriend too, she flipped out worse than you did though.” He explained.

I really didn’t care at the time, I was glad it wasn’t true.

Stef’s POV

Two weeks after Cassie’s date fiasco, Louis finally took me out to the movie. It was a movie so everyone knew it was a date. Including fans. Yes they had found out about our secret relationships with the boys, and there had been so many articles about us girls hanging out with them when they weren’t on at the recording studio, otherwise, us girls really just hung around; played a bit of sport, did a lot of shopping and then Louis finally took me to the movies.

We went to one of the old cinemas that still played the movie. It was the outdoor screening too. So there we sat all rugged up as the movie started screening. Only two other people were there and they were five rows in front of us.

Well, I honestly don’t remember seeing the movie, I think that we just talked-no, whispered the whole time. Then it started to get colder and soon I was just shivering so bad, I couldn’t stop it.

“You okay?” Louis asked me.

I nodded stiffly. “Just a little cold.” Ok that was a lie. He’d taken me to the night time screening and the late one might I add. It was freezing.

“You’re such a baby.” He teased as handed me his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders. “I’m just glad you’re my babe.” And he hugged me.

Cassie’s POV

The front door opened and Louis came in, carrying Stef with her head resting up on his shoulder. Zayn and I were the only ones still awake, just talking. I was sitting in his lap leaning against his chest.
