Hopeless

Eli's POV
---
"Thank you!!!" I yelled out to the taxi driver as he pulled away from the house
It was late. Too late for me to tell how late it was. We were all drunk and Stacey passed out in the car.
"C'mon Q, help me with Stacey here" I ask him as he staggers toward the door.
He finds his way to me and we practically carry Stacey to the front door of the house.
I reach out to open it but the door doesn't budge.
I try again
No movement at all.
"Shit!" I say
"What?" Q asks groggily
"It's locked" I murmur
"Great" he says sitting down next to the seemingly lifeless body of Stacey
I gently knock on the door.
No result
"Megs!" I yell
"Someone open the door?!" Q yells from behind
"Shit, I reckon they're sleeping" I say pacing around
"Yeah no shit" Q says sarcastically
After 5 minutes of bickering and going back and forth about who's fault it was Q suggests this.
"Reckon you could jump the fence??" He asks me
"Hmmm, maybe" I say
We walk over to the wall and study where I could place my foot and such.
"Here I'll boost ya" Q exclaims
I plant my foot onto his hands and push off, grabbing the ledge above me.
"Get on top" he slurs
"That's what she said" I say back
"Fuck off" he insults back
Suddenly a blaring alarm sounds.
"Shit!" I yell over the noise
I drop to the ground as the door flies open.
"Who-" Liam begins but stops as he realises its us.
"Why are you guys doing?" He asks as we carry Stacey in
"What was that about?" Meghan asks
"We-I tried to climb the wall" I say as I slump on the couch.
"C'mon let's get you to your room" Meghan says as she take my hand.
The only thing I remember is my head hitting a pillow.

Meghan's POV

I wake up snuggled up next to Eli. I edge myself off the bed and try my best not to wake him. I go through his bag and grab a t-shirt to wear. It hangs way past my waist and almost hits my knee's. I quietly make my way downstairs and walk into the kitchen.
I grab a bottle of water and head out to the balcony.
The view almost tops last nights one. Almost
I lean on the railing and study the view in the day.
It's busier, more hectic
"Nice view huh?" Eli says behind me.
I smile back as he walks up next to me.
"I believe that's my shirt?" He says
"You would be correct" I say grinning
"Well? Hand it over" he says
"What? Now?" I say shocked
"Uh, yeah I wanted to wear that shirt."
He says "besides I'd much prefer you without it"
"Hey!" I say as I slap him gently
"Watch it" I say
"Yeah, yeah Megs" he says
"Not hungover?" I ask
"Not yet, at least" he says turning to me
I turn my head and look at him standing across from me. His look gives me butterflies and...we kiss
My brain melts at the touch of his lips and I kiss him back.
Until the sound of a camera clicking is heard to our right.
"Shit" Stacey says closing the door on us
"STACEY!" I say running after her
I open the door and chase her up the stairs. She weaves past Liam and slides past tables. But she's too slow and I tackle her to the ground.
"You sneaky bitch!" I say laughing
She laughs and holds the camera away from me.
"At least let me see it!" I say
"At least let me stand up!" She replies
I get up and help her off the ground. She shows me the picture and I can't help but smile. She pops out the SD card and hands it to me.
"Do what you will" she says walking away
I look at the card in my hand and consider what to do with it.
I walk into my room and tuck it into the back of my phone case.
"What was that all about?" Eli says popping his head into my room.
"Nothing, I'll tell you later" I say looking up at him
"I was thinking of going out for breakfast today?" He proposes
"What about your hangover?" I say looking at him
"Don't worry about it" he says walking toward me
"Okay, well let me get dressed" I say as he comes over and hugs me around my back
I reach up and kiss him on the cheek as he lets go of me.
He starts to walk out but stops at the door saying
"Oh, my shirt?" He says
"Um, I'm not wearing a bra" I whisper shout
His eyes trace down my figure and lands on my breasts.
"Hey!" I say as I walk up to him and shove him out of my room and close the door
"You better give me my shirt" he says from outside
"Yeah yeah" I say in response
---
"Eli!" I shout from the front door
"Eli let's go!" I sigh
"Coming!" He yells from his room
He stomps down the stairs and runs to the kitchen.
"Hey? Eli? The door's here?" I say
"I'll be one minute" he says
"Cmon" I beg
He emerges from around the corner
"Sorry, just took some pills" he says unlocking the door.
"Pills? The right kind?" I tease
"Ha ha" he replies sarcastically
We walk side by side, the sun is out and the sky is blue.
I watch Eli as we walk. His dirty blonde hair bounces as we walk and his eyes scan the path ahead of us as we walk.
"So apparently there's a cafe round the corner" he says
"Uhuh" I say admiring his face
He turns to me and notices me watching him, so I quickly turn my head the other way.
You idiot I think
