These secrets will kill us Oliver Sykes

Chapter 29 ~ Climbing our way to heaven

Veronica's POV

We had left the restaurant hours ago and to my surprise we had left by our own free will and none of us had been arrested. I was completely shit faced, I could barely see straight as I gazed around the room to try and find someone I knew; I couldn't. Which you'd think would be pretty hard not to considering there was 4 other bands in the club. I shrugged and ordered some more shots, I wasn't exactly sure how I was still getting served to be honest. I picked up the small shot glass and raised it to my mouth "Oh no you don't little lady" a voice said as the glass was quickly removed from my grasp, I turned around and out of blurry vision I saw Kellin gulping down one of the many shots that I had ordered.

I pouted "hey, that's mine!", Kellin grinned and took another one, I swatted his hands away and nearly fell off the bar stool but he caught me just in time, he was surprisingly a little sober. "No more shots for you" he sang and gave me a 'this-is-why-I-took-them-away-from-you' look. I showed him my middle finger and downed another one, showing him what I thought about his opinion. He laughed and shook his head "mental" Kelling whispered before shoving his way through the crowd. I turned my attention back to the shots and I couldn't help but let my mind wonder to Oliver, I hadn't seen him since I left the restaurant and to be perfectly honest I wasn't sure if he was still here. I was totally confused about what I felt but I shoved that thought away, alcohol made me emotional enough, even though I hadn't hit that stage yet I undoubtedly would later.

"What's a gorgeous girl like you doing sitting alone at a bar like this?" An unknown voice said, I shifted my eyes over to the stranger that had decided it would be okay to sit down next to me, he pushed a drink over to me and I raised an eyebrow "How original" I retorted pushing the drink back to him. He laughed silently "Oh and I'm not alone" I clarified, now it was his turn to raise his eyebrows at me

"Really? Because no one seems to be here with you." I looked around in search of someone to save me from this disaterous conversation but there was no one, they were probably all passed out on something. I even found myself hoping that Kellin would come back and take another one of my shots, that was how desperate I was. I rolled my eyes and downed another drink, it burned my throat but I didn't care. "Wait, you're that model!" he slurred in realisation and I groaned.

"wait what's your name...uh v- VERONICA! that's it!" he shouted "hey does it bother you that I know your name and you don't know mine?"

I nearly choked on my drink from laughing, was this guy serious? "No, it really doesn't bother me sunshine" I said, my words laced in sarcasm and annoyance, I was really tired of him and I wanted to drink in peace. "so..your place or mine?" he asked

before I could respond someone else did it for me "Well you're going to yours and she's coming to mine" an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me close, I turned and saw Austin Carlile, he gave me a wink and I snuggled into his chest, playing along.

The stranger shouted a few profanities and walked off, I giggled. "Thank you Austin"

"No problem V, you looked like you needed saving" I nodded in reply "I'll see you later, have fun and don't have too many" he said laughing referring to the long line of shots infront of me. I was shocked as to how Austin was still walking, he had started drinking way before me.

The night dragged on and I felt my eyes grow tired, I checked my phone for the time and winced at the bright light. I closed my left eye and squinted in hopes to try and make the blurry screen into focus more. '4:23am' I hopped off my stool and fell to the ground, I lay there and started laughing uncontrollably. "Jesus V" two tattooed arms that I recognised as Tony's wrapped around me and picked me up bridal style, I was still laughing. I noticed we were now outside he was probably taking me back to the bus, Tony managed to walk perfectly straight and I had no diea why everyone was so sober, it's like one of those cruel jokes where everyone's secretly drinking water except you.
