We Go Together Or We Don't Go Down At All

Chapter 5

I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. I turn over to roll out of my bed forgetting where I am. 

I hit the ground with a thump. 

"Mother fucker!!" I shout grabbing for my head. 

"God damn it Alison. Seriously?" Jack groans. 

"Leave me alone Barakat." I snap. 

"Vic take care of your girlfriend." Zack moans. 

I feel someone's arms wrap around me and before I realized it was Vic I noticed he was talking me to the back lounge. He set me down on the couch and left. Ugh I hate hangovers. 

Vic walks back in with two bowls of cereal. He grabs the TV remote, some blankets and pillows from his bunk and sits on the couch next to me. He hands me a bowl of cereal. 

"Eat. It helps. I promise."

"You know you're really strong for how little you look." I comment. 

"No you're just super light." He laughs, "You weigh like 10 pounds."

"I do not." I scoff. 

My attention turns to the TV and I notice he logged in to Netflix. 

"What would you like to watch babe?" He asks. 

"Umm. I don't care." I respond. 

"Fine. Little Mermaid it is." He smirks. 

"You know me too well Vicky Boo." I smile. 

As I finish my cereal he reaches around my waist and pulls me onto his lap. He situates us to where we're cuddling and he's the big spoon. He pulls a couple blankets over us and I snuggle up against him. As we lay there I can feel his breath tickling the back of my neck. 

I notice his breathing got heavier. I turn my head to look at him and notice he's passed out. He's so perfect when he sleeps. He just looks so peaceful. 

I lay there peacefully for about 5 minutes before I pass out like a light.

.........

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I hear Jack and Alex shouting as Jack runs in and jumps on top of me and Vic.My head pounds and I feel like I'm going to get sick. 

"Holy fuck Barakat. Get off." I groan as I shove Jack to the ground. I roll over and cuddle up against Vic's chest.

"Seriously guys? She's hungover." Vic defends me. 

"I know." Jack cockily admits. 

"Get out of here." I mumble against Vic. 

"You heard the lady." Vic laughs. 

" Fine but we're all going to lunch if you guys wanna come with." Alex adds. 

"I think we'll grab something later." Vic replies. 

I hear the sound of footsteps and then silence. 

"Are they gone?" I ask still pressed against Vic's chest. 

"Yes. It's just us." He reassures. 

I stand up immediately getting dizzy. I sit back down on Vic's lap. 

"I need to shower. I'm a mess." I groan. 

"An adorable mess." He coos. 

"Stop that," I laugh, "but seriously I need to take a shower."

"I'll join you." He smirks.

"Only if you can catch me." I grin as I jump off his lap and make a run for the bathroom closing the lounge door behind me. 

I hear the door open and footsteps behind me. Suddenly arms wrap around me and I'm off the ground. 

"You're a bad girl." Vic laughs. 

"The baddest." I mock. 

He throws me over his shoulder and walks to my bunk. He sets me down and I grab my shower stuff and some clothes. 

"What should I wear?" I ask turning to Vic. 

"Um. We're just chilling today so some shorts and one of my hoodies maybe." He suggests. 

"Mkay." I grab a new pair of yoga shorts. 

I walk over to Vic's bunk and he hands me one of his black and white Anthem Made sweatshirts. 

"I'm going to start the shower." I tell Vic as I walk to the bathroom.

"Can I pick what you wear under those clothes?" He winks. 

"Sure." I smirk biting my lip. 

I start the shower and pull off my shirt and shorts. Since I don't sleep in a bra or panties I'm left completely naked. I cant help but notice my scars. How is Vic going to react?

The bathroom fills with steam as I step into the shower. I step under the water and wash my makeup off. Suddenly I feel hands on my waist. 

I take a deep breath and turn around to face Vic. I have to tell him.
