Sober

PHOEBES POV*

I wake up quickly as I hear a banging noise coming from the kitchen. I shake Dom who groans in response.

"Did you hear that?" I ask and one of his eyes opens and he raises an eyebrow.

"What?" He asks siting up with me confused. Then the noise comes again, like a clanking of bowls or something.

"That" I say and he gets up as do I. He opens the door slightly and I pear behind him to see a faint dark silhouette bent down beside the cabinet where we keep plates. Dom looks around worried, clenches his fists and flicks the light on revealing the person.

"Matt!!" He exclaims and rubs his eyes.

"Oh hey thr!" Matt slurs and stands up with a plate and a piece of bread in his hand, "was just bout to make a sanwich, want one?"

"Oh for fuck sake man, I'm going back to bed" Dom says and turns back into the room.

"No thanks" I say to Matt and walk over to the bar across from the kitchen and sit down, "where have you been? I called you earlier but you didn't pick up"

"Oh Awas out with Tom- Chris, no no twas Tom yeah" he replies.

"I know but it's like 3am why were you out so late? You said you'd be back by midnight at the latest" I question him and walk over to where he is now sloppily buttering the piece of bread.

"Sorry mum itlasted a but lnger" he says cheekily and I shove him, "sorry but wewent a but crayzay"

"Right well at least you're not lying in a ditch somewhere" I say getting some ham from the fridge and handing it to him because I know he'll want ham because he always has a craving for it when he's drunk for some strange reason.

"Aw phoebes! Thankya sooo mush!" He says suddenly hugging me. I laugh and hug him back saying "you're quite welcome dear".

"Ya sure ya don't wanna sandwich?" He asks politely. I shake my head.

"No no that's alright, i think I'm gonna go back to bed now" I explain and he nods and bites into his sandwich. The ham is barely on the butter as its hanging out all ends but he still manages to eat it.

"Aw okie then sweet dreams ma luvly" he says hugging me again.

"Thanks Matt you too, and go to bed once you've finished your sandwich okay"I say looking him in the eyes and he nods.

"I shall dooo so" he says and I smirk.

"Promise?" I ask again to be sure.

"I promiz" he replies and puts his hand on his stomach, though I think he meant for it to be placed over his heart.

"Goodnight princess" I say walking to my bedroom.

"G'night prince!" He shouts back and I climb back into bed with Dom. He pulls me into his chest and kisses me goodnight and soon I find myself drifting into a peaceful sleep again.

*MATTS POV*

I slowly open my eyes and have to blink a few times because the light is blinding. When I can finally open them properly everything is blurry and so I have to blink even more until everything becomes clear. I am on the living room on the floor and my head is lying on my hoodie. I sit up slowly but my head begins to throb in pain so I hold it in my hands and stay still for a minute until it gets used to the movement. Theres a flattened half sandwich lying on the floor beside my hoodie and it takes me a few minutes to remember that I'd made it last night. I sit for a minute and try to remind myself of last nights events. Right, so I went to Meet Tom at the Jammies bar at around 10pm I think and then we had a few- no, a lot- of beers- and shots- and then we went to a club- I don't know, what club what club was it? Ugh I don't know, then we danced with some girls, yeah and then Tom took them home and I made my way home after stopping to get bread- but then I got kicked out of the shop for being drunk and knocking something over- what did I knock over? Bread? No. Beans? No. Bananas! That was it, yeah I got kicked out for being drunk and knocking over some bananas. Okay so then I walked home an came in at around 2am right. Yeah and then I made a sandwich coz I always crave them when I'm drunk- hence the bread I tried to buy- but luckily we had bread here. Dom had put the lights on thinking I was some sort of burglar and then went back to bed but Phoebe talked to me for a bit and then told me to go to bed after my sandwich. I look to my sandwich. I obviously didn't finish it, but I did go to bed. Okay and now I'm here and it's- what time is it? I look to the clock above the TV. 11am. Waw I woke up surprisingly early. How come Phoebe and Dom aren't up yet? Oh well.'

I slowly stand up and make my way to the kitchen where I hunt for some paracetamol and then swallow it down with some water. Then I hear the bedroom door open.

"Good morning Princess" phoebe says walking into the kitchen and putting the kettle on.

"Good morning prince" I reply and we giggle.

"You're up earlier than I'd have thought considering your state last night" she states getting a mug out. I sit on a stool at the bar.

"Yeah I don't know how" I say.

"Tea? Coffee?" She asks me as she drops a T bag in her mug.

"Nah I'll stick with my water for now" I say and she nods.

"Good plan" she drops a sweetener in her tea and turns around to face me, "so what happened last night then?"

"Well, we went to the bar, well I met Tom at the bar, and then we drank - a lot and then we went to a club and Met some girls and Tom went with them, then I walked to the 9/11 and tried to get some bread for my sandwich but got kicked out for my drunkenness and for knocking over some bananas and then I came home" I explain and she nods along.

"Waw okay, wild night" she laughs.

"Yeah, I should probably go call Tom, see if he got back home okay and all" I say searching for my phone on the floor then realising its in my jean pocket.

"And get a shower; you stink" she says and I chuckle and click at the air As if to say 'you got it' as i walk to my bedroom and she chuckles back.

*PHOEBES POV*

I finish making my cup of tea and go to sit on the couch and turn on the TV as Dom walks in and joins me rubbing his head and yawning. I put the mug down and we kiss as he sits down and sips my tea.

"Hey! Get your own!" I exclaim taking it from him and putting it back on the coffee table. He smirks and pulls me on top of him so that I have one knee on either side of him. He kisses me again, for longer and it is more passionate than the first as he snakes his hands around my waist. When we pull apart he smiles at me and I return the expression.

"Mm morning breath" i say sarcastically and he laughs. I get off him and send him to shower and he walks towards the bedroom but turns around and raises an eyebrow at me.

"Coming?" He asks and I laugh as he just assumes I want to shower with him.

"Why?" I tease him.

"Because you're going to shower with me" he says almost helplessly.

"I don't have to" I say.

"But I need help" he smirks.

"Oh alright then" I giggle and follow him into the bedroom.

*MATTS POV*

I climbed out of the shower and put a towel around me before brushing my teeth. I stared at myself in the mirror once is finished brushing my teeth.

"Ughhhhhhhh" I moan at my reflection, "how did I lose her? What did I do? How did I get here? I hate this, i should go do something; write some songs or something. But I can't be bothered! To be honest I just want to curl up into a ball and die. What's the point in living without someone to live for. Okay yeah the band and phoebe but we aren't doing anything right now. Can't I just not be right now? Ughhhhh" I say as I change into some red jeans and a white tshirt and spray some deodorant. I stand for a minute and push my hair back and sigh.

"Wake up Matt!!" I say and leave the room.

When I get into the living room I go to make myself some coffee and sit on the sofa and sip it. I hear a loud thump and then what sounds like phoebe stubbing her toe but then I realise that that's not what she was shouting about. I sigh and grab my phone and search through the contacts for girls. Yeah, I'm sad, looking for a hook up but Dom and phoebe are like sex addicts. I hear them all the time and it's pissing me off. I need a girl, I haven't had some since Erica so like two months or something.

Sophie- Nah she hates my music

Natasha- no no she licks feet

Becka- gay now

Laya- yes.

Okay do I call her now? No it's half eleven, just wait a while.

I switch the TV onto the news and have to put the volume up to drown out the noise of Dom and Phoebe 'stubbing their toes'.
