*Alex's POV*

Sunday. My day off. I needed it too after yesterday's events I couldn't even think properly, when I got back to my apartment Sam wasn't here, his clothes were gone and so was everything else that belonged to him but there was a note stuck on the TV screen where he knew I would see it:

Alex,

You were right, I don't want you to be right but you were, I was hoping you could forget the bad things and focus on the good times we had together but I guess scars never fully heal and I just ripped them open again by being here, I've gone back home but I hope we can work this out someday. I just can't give up on you, I can't stop loving you.

Sam x

A small tear came to my eye as I read it but I wasn't sure if I was relieved or happy or sad that I was going to be on my own. Again. I hadn't made any friends while being here apart from the boys and I wasn't sure where I could make one, there was only ever me and Hank at the shop and come to think of it I didn't actually know why and now, when I think even more, it was too easy to get rid of Sam and I can't help but think there is something else going on here. I had to get my mind off of all this crap and the one thing that popped into my mind was alcohol. I had promised myself when I moved to LA and away from that crap hole I used to call home that I wouldn't drink again and if I did then I had to have a very good reason. Well I guess this is a pretty good reason. Before I started I went out to the shop first to get some hair dye. Again I know but this was the last time. I got back and turned on the shower so I could apply the brown hair dye. I rinsed it all out properly then blow dried it so it wouldn't transfer to my clothes. I got dresses putting on a black skater dress and black heeled ankle boots and grabbed my purse, I called a taxi then out my phone in my purse before leaving. 

*Luke's POV*

The guys were all getting ready to go out to this new club that had opened, I decided to go to, well I didn't really have a choice in the matter but I guess alcohol is how everybody seems to fix their problems so why not mine. Ronnie drove us all there and as we got out there was a queue halfway along the street "I'm not waiting in this" Skip moaned "You don't have to, you're names are on 'the list'" Ronnie told us. A mixture of swearing and shouting came from the queue as we walked in. The music boomed through the club as people were dancing on the dancefloor, when I say dancing girls were rubbing their asses against a guys crotch as the guys grabbed their asses with or without permission one getting a well deserved slap right across the face. I laughed to myself as I followed the boys through to a room in the back but just as I was about to go into the room I thought I seen Alex move through the crowd, I turned my head quickly but didn't see her. My mind was already beginning to play tricks as I was debating with myself if the drink would make it worse or better. I decided better. The drinks kept coming and after about the 5th drink the boys made their way to the dancefloor, I joined them after only 1 drink, I guess I wasn't feeling it tonight. We immediately got dancing and feeling the exiteable atmosphere as we would go back and forth to the bar but in the end I just took a seat at the bar observing the surrounding or in other words people watching and that's when she took a seat next to me.

*Alex's POV*

I sat at the bar, my feet hurting too much to dance around anymore but a familiar voice came from beside me "What are you doing here?" I turned quickly to see Luke sitting next to me "The same reason as you" I giggled a little from all the alcohol I had already consumed "How did you even get in?" I sipped through the straw of my new drink and looking up through my eyelashes at him "When you're as small as I am you can sneak in almost anywhere" I told him giggling again "How much have you had?" He can't have been drinking yet "I don't know, I've lost count" I shrugged "Do you want to dance? I love this song" I got off the seat a little too fast and lost my footing falling to the floor "Are you alright?" Luke was hovering over me as I laughed at myself, he helped me up and burst out laughing himself and I couldn't help but smile at this adoreable boy in front of me "That'll hurt tomorrow" He told me while ushering me to the dancefloor. We danced most of the night having the most fun I have had in ages. The club closed and we were all thrown out, I walked outside with Luke as he joined up with the others "Alex! What're you doing here?" They all shouted at me in slurred voices. I ran to them all and engulfed them all in a group hug. Luke took my arm and I stumbled towards him "Do you want us to drop you off?" I nodded and Luke helped me into the car.

We pulled up outside my building and Luke got out to let me out too "You guys go ahead, I'll make sure she gets in safe" They drove away and we made our way up in the elevator "I'm a big girl now, I can look after myself" I poked his chest as I spoke "Not in this state you can't" I put my hands on my hips and gasped "Are you underestimating me?"  He laughed and nodded the elevator doors opened  and I made a run for it as Luke rushed after me "You're going to-" I hit the floor with a 'thud' Luke came over and helped me up "I didn't even feel it" I shrugged opening my door. Luke came in with me and I went into the bedroom as Luke waited in the living room "Luke!" I shouted through to him "What?" He called back "Help me, I'm kinda stuck" He came in and burst in to laughter "Just help me" My arm had gotten stuck in the whole where my head is "Just lift it up and over" He held the bottom of the dress and lifted it up revealing my body, only covered by my bra and pants, Luke's eyes raked up and down my body, I cupped my hands over his face and pulled him towards me before pressing my lips to his, he kissed back immediately putting his hands on my hips kissing more hungrily. He slid his hands down to my thighs lifting me up so my legs wrapped around his waist. He carried me over to the bed and lay me on my back, I lifted his shirt over his head and threw it on the floor before continuing our heated moment, I began unbuttoning his jeans but he stopped me "This isn't right" He sat up and ran his hands through his hair "What?" I asked him sitting up slightly embarassed "I mean I want to, like really want to but this way" He smiled sympathetically and I nodded my head getting up from the bed to put a jumper on "That's my jumper" Luke said softly "Yeah, it still smells like you" I shyly replied. He got up frm his spot on the bed and came over putting his finger under my chin and lifting up my head "I've missed you so much" I flicked between his eyes and his lips and before I knew his lips pressed to mine for the second time tonight, it was brief and gentle but still gave me butterlies. "I've missed you too" I brought him into a hug and rested my head on his chest as tears spilled from my eyes. I'm so glad I had him back. For now at least.
