Eli's POV
---
"What do you mean but?"
"Eli?" She says softly
I pause for a moment
"I-I can't do this" I sniffle
"What do you mean?" Meghan demands
"I-I can't" I say with a tear rolling down my cheek
"Eli, what do you mean?"
"I can't do this" gesturing to the space between us
"I can't. At least not right now." I say sniffling
"So then why bother coming out here?" She asks
"I don't know anymore" I whisper
---
"I'm going home" Meghan says after a while.
I acknowledge her with a nod.
"Ok then" she sighs walking away
---
"Hey kiddo" a voice says
I open my eyes to a flashlight.
"Ugh" I groan
"Cmon, get up" the voice says
I stumble to my feet
I run my eyes and realise the figure in front of me is a policeman.
"How you doin son?" The officer asks
"Um, what's the time, officer?" I ask
"It's 9:36" the officer says
"Shit" I say under my breath
The policeman chuckles
"Found you here sleeping thought you were some alcoholic" he says gesturing for me to follow him
"What's that accent? British?" He says Turing to me
"Australian" I say
"Ah yes, is it holidays over there?" He asks
"Yeah" I say
"Where about's are you staying son?"The cop says, stoping at his police car
"Um I think the address is on my phone" I say grabbing it out of my pocket and showing it to him.
"That's a long way away" he says
"Uh yeah it is actually" I say pushing my hair back
The cop chuckles
"Cmon" he says "get in"
"Oh, ok" I say opening the door
The cop starts his car, and reverses out of the car park
"You hungry at all?" He asks me
"I am actually" I say
"I got you son" he says driving off
---
"Thank you officer" I say as he pulls up to the driveway
He looks past me.
"That music, is that coming from your house?" He asks
I look at the house which was mostly covered by the hedge.
"I don't think so officer" I lie
"There's been a few parties around this area for a while"
"Right" he says suspiciously
"Thank you again officer" I say getting out of the car
"Stay safe kid" he say driving off

I got into the house without setting off the alarm.
Somehow within a few seconds a beer was shoved into my hand I was pushed toward the kitchen.
"Eli!" Someone shouted from the kitchen.
I walked toward the voice and found Q with his arm draped across Stacey's shoulder.
"Fuck bro, where were you?" Q says releasing Stacey and grabbing my hand and shaking it
"Sick party bro" he says groggily
"Yeah" I say taking a sip from the beer.
"Meghan, got here like an hour ago" Q says taking a sip from his cup
"Haven't seen her *hiccup* since though" he says
"Quentin! Come back!" Stacey says from behind Q
"She's wrecked" I laugh
Q nods
"Q! I'm a horny hot mess I need some loving!" She demands
"I'll leave you to it" I say heading toward the stairs.
I wasn't gonna stick around and watch those two eat each others faces off.
I walked up the stairs and headed to my room.
I walk into my room and set the beer on the desk next to me. I grab a shirt from my suitcase to change into.
"Hey! You can't be up here! This is for-oh" someone says from behind me
I turn to see Meghan clutching a bottle of alcohol, sticking her head into my room
"Hey Eli" she says entering and sitting on my bed
"Hi" I say nervously
"No need to be nervous, I'm not gonna hurt you" she says giggling
I turn toward her as she she swigs down another gulp.
"Y'know, I though about what you said earlier" she starts
"And I realised I really, really suck" she says
"Y'know like stuck-in-traffic-suck" she says drinking
"Or lost-in-a-forest suck" she says but stops herself from continuing
"Although that would be kind of cool."
She says looking up at the ceiling probably thinking about being lost in forest.
I sit down next to her and gesture toward the drink.
I take it from her hand and take a long drink.
"There ya go!" She says, laughing
I smile
"Eli" she says
"Yeah?" I reply
"I'm about to tell you two very important things and I want you to know that I'm not saying them coz I'm drunk ok?" She says
I nod
"First, the bottle. Hand it over" she says
I hand her the bottle laughing
"I thought you said that they weren't related to your drunkness" I tease
"Secondly" she says ignoring my comment
"I really really really really really really like you Eli" she says dreamily
"I just want you" she says
She's drunk
"If I make a promise to not suck, will you pleeease forgive me?" She says
I look to the floor and think
She's drunk
"I mean I'll suck some things" she says smirking
Definitely drunk
I sigh and get up off the bed and head toward the door.
She grabs my arm before I can leave and pulls me toward her.
"Please, just let me prove it?" She offers setting the bottle down on the desk behind her
She stands so close to me I feel her breath on my lips
I sigh
"You're just drunk" I say
"Yes, but I know what I want" she says moving closer so I can almost feel the electricity coming from her lips.
"Please" she whispers
Suddenly she pushes her lips onto mine.
Her tongue sits on my lips, begging for entrance.
I hesitate at first but she gets the better of me.
My arms wrap around her hips and hers find their way to my neck.
Slowly I spin her and push her up against the door.
This time she kisses me harder and heat radiates from our bodies.
She pulls out for air and smiles, leaning her head on my shoulder.
I kiss her forehead and her smile widens
"Is this a yes?" She says into my shoulder
"Yes, it is" I whisper
She giggles
"I like it when you whisper, it makes me tingle" she says dreamily
I laugh
"Are we just stay here on the door or are we gonna move to the bed?" She asks
"Your choice" I whisper
She smiles and locks the door behind her with a click.
Maybe this will work
Maybe
