Everyone had gone out tonight to clear their heads from today, they needed to take their minds off one of their mates being arrested for absolutely fuck all. However, I couldn't go out, not knowing that Austin was spending his night in a prison cell probably getting beaten up by some big guy called Horacio. I sat in bed quietly thinking about the events of today, there was no point trying to take my mind of it because I couldn't, also I'd feel pretty guilty if I was having a good time. Another thought on my mind was knowing I had to leave here and get myself my own place, The Vamps manager Joe has said he'll take care of my accommodation until I've earned enough to pay for myself, in all fairness I had made quiet a bit of money from being in the studio and doing some photography work, so overall I wasn't completely stuck but I couldn't imagine being anywhere else, I've been here for so long that it was home. I mean for the likes of Sara and George who've been here since day one this is home, I haven't imagined being anywhere else.
It was about half 9 when there was a knock on the door, I stood up and walked over and answered it, stood there was Reece who smiled at me, "oh hey" I smiled at him, "I came to see how you were doing" he shrugged, "y-yeah, come on in" I told him with a weak smile, "everyone is still out there's just Blake in the room and he's asleep so I came to see how you were" he admitted with a small chuckled, "well thank you and I never thanked you for before with the officer thanks for stepping up for me" I smiled, "it's no big deal honestly. So... Are you ok?" he asked sitting beside me on the bed, "no" I shook my head, "I don't understand what happened? Why this happened?" I told him as my voice cracked, "I know it doesn't seem like it but everything will be fine. Joe will get him out of there and you know the two of you haven't done anything illegal, you're both over 18" Reece comforted me, I nodded weakly, "I just feel guilty that he's the one sleeping in a prison cell and I'm on this big comfy bed" I shrugged, "you could always sleep on the floor" Reece shrugged chuckling, I laughed weakly, "you'll pull through, you're strong enough to get past this" Reece said putting his arm round my shoulder comfortingly, "thanks you" I smiled at him, "you don't believe me do you" Reece sighed, "not even a little bit" I chuckled weakly, "well you should, you'll be fine, Austin will get out and you'll be happy again" Reece said quietly, kind of like he was saying it to himself in a saddened way. He then opened his arms out to hug me and I fell into his arms, he gave one of the best hugs known to man, but it was weird because he's mostly bone. "Thank you Reece, I'm glad you came up here to see how I was" I smiled at him, "it's no issue really I like looking after you... Well... People. Y'know in general" he said awkwardly, I chuckled, he stood up, "well if you ever need someone y'know whilst he's away you know where to find me" Reece smiled, "I'll give you a call don't worry" I smiled at him, "I'm gonna go. If George gets back and I'm not there he'll think I've been killed or something dramatic" he chuckled, I stood up and followed him to the door, "I can imagine" I chuckled as he opened the door and stepped outside, "you know where I am" he said comfortingly as he hugged me, I nodded and watched him walk down the hall.
An hour later and I still couldn't get to sleep. Usually Austin is the one who comforts me when I'm stressed out, I pulled out my phone and sent Reece a text.
I don't wanna bother you or anything but I can't sleep would you mind coming over x

I waited for a reply, but nothing seemed to come through, I curled myself up in bed and all I could think of was Austin being stuck in prison, I was tired so I felt twice as emotional, my throat was sore as I started to cry. There was a knock at the door but I didn't have the strength to get up, "Mia it's me" I heard Reece speak from the other side of the door, again I couldn't move, I heard him push the door open, "Mia" he whispered and walked over to me, he noticed I was crying and sat beside me, "Mia what's wrong? Sit up, tell me please" he pleaded, I dragged myself up and he hugged me and I cried into his chest, "I miss him Reece. Usually when I'm stressed out I can give him a call and he'll be there to help but now he's not" I cried, "hey, hey. Don't worry, I'm here to be your temporary Austin" he chuckled as I pulled back from him, I nodded and tried to smile, "look, I'm gonna sit here with you until you fall asleep, I'm not leaving you until I know you're asleep" he told me, "as long as you don't mind" I told him "I'm staying" he replied immediately before I rested my head on his shoulder.
Reece's POV: I kept my word and waited until she was fast asleep. "Goodnight gorgeous" I smiled down at her closed eyes before gently moving her head from my shoulder to the pillow beside us. I stood up and quietly crept out of the room, I walked down the corridor and saw Beth and Sara walking towards me, obviously back from their night out. "Reece. What are you doing here?" Sara looked at me confused, "Mia was upset. I came to check on her" I shrugged, "is she ok?" Beth asked me, "she's asleep now but no she's not fine she's just worried about Austin" I told the pair, "well we're gonna go to bed, see you tomorrow" Beth said walking off, I turned to walk away, I hard the bedroom door close and I knew Sara was still there, "she loves him Reece, you know that, if you said anything you'd get hurt" Sara spoke after me, I stopped and turned around, "I know, I just want her to be ok" I told her, Sara walked towards me and placed a hand on my shoulder, "she will be ok when Austin's out. I know it hurts that she's with him but they're sweet together and they're in love so I don't want you to disrupt their relationship. I know it's hard for you an all and I hate seeing you like this but you know what the right thing is" she said softly, "I know you're right. That's why I'm not gonna do anything... If she's happy, I'm happy" I nodded, "look at you being the big man, but it's ok to not be ok. You know I'm here if you wanna talk" she said giving me a look with her big eyes, "I know cheers" I smiled at her as we hugged, "goodnight" she smiled at me turning away. "Goodnight" I smiled and watched her as she walked into her room before I headed back to my room.
