fourteen.

❀Simon's POV❀

We all exited the elevator and that Max guy kept on trailing behind us. I don't know I just got a weird vibe from that guy. We stopped at Tobi's flat and he was holding this box with cameras, I gave him a confused look.

"Oh I'm a photographer, to capture you know the beauty that lies in this shitty world," we nodded and we gave a firm handshake.
"Bye man-" I said.
"See you around," Tobi said walking into his flat. We chilled for a bit with Manny, and we filmed some videos. Few hours passed and there was a knock on the door, Tobi went to get it, immediately he yeld that he would be back. Less than ten minutes later, in the middle of a FIFA game with Manny, the door was opened. I heard Tobi's laugh and an unfamiliar one as well. I paused it and looked over to see big smiles on Tobi's and Max's face.

"Where'd you go lovebirds?" Manny said.
"Oi shut up, he needed help putting up a picture on his wall allow it," Tobi said,"and I invited him for a beer here, help yourself in the kitchen mate." I looked at the guy and watched his movements, I payed attention to the tv as he plopped next to me. He extended his arm out and offered me a beer, maybe I'm overreacting about this guy.
"Thanks man," I said cracking it open.
"Cheers," he said as we both took a gulp of our beer.

"Right so tell us what you do man," Manny began as I clicked the button to resume fifa. To the side of me he began to speak.
"I'm a photographer, in fact I should show you guys some of my work. But probably another time-" Max continued as Manny asked him if he was in a relationship. "Nah, haven't been in one in years, kind of slipped up with my last relationship- not cheating but uh-" his phone rang as he excused himself and took his phone call.

"He's a decent guy innit?" Tobi began as Manny nodded his head. I was more focused on the game and didn't react, it was final time and I went on my phone for a bit.

I clicked and called her as I walked out to Tobi's balcony.
"Hellooooo," she said cheerfully, followed by her goofy laugh.
"Hey baby, by chance do you think I can sleep over? I don't feel like taking a taxi. "
"Of course Si, is that why you called or to hear my magnificent voice," as I chuckled.
"Sure, but by the way what did you want to tell me?"
"Oh, so remember when I was on the phone with my mum, wellllll, I am going back home to Manchester for like a week-"
"You're leaving me Court?"
"Simon, don't put it like that, but Freya and I are going down together because our little sisters are playing a football match. And this one is special because your siblings play alongside with them, if they can make it,"
"Oh so that's why you need to buy her an extra pair of boots, you never told me her name though."
"Shit yeah, it's Piper, sorry I don't know why I haven't mentioned her name, but I'm leaving in 2 days. I didn't want to ruin your night by saying I'm leaving, that's why I didn't tell you earlier."
"Don't worry about it, but I will be in Manchester for the book tour, soo...-"
"Oh my gosh, yeahhh Simon I totally forgot that, I could kiss you right now!"
"You are only a few floors away, but if you insist-"
"Stop it, but oh my gosh Simon that is great. I need to pack, I'm gonna do that after I edit this video," she continued as I just smiled at the fact that... I don't know.
"I'll help you pack, I'll be down there in an hour probably, just chilling by Tobi's."
"Okay Simon, I'll be here editing!"
"Bye love."
"Byeee Simonnn babyyyy," we laughed and she hung up laughing. I turned back around with a huge smile on my face, as Max was back in the room.

Time flew by and to be fair I had a few cans of beer, and by that I meant I had 5 cans of beer. Maybe took some shots too. I wobbled to drop Max off to his flat and I just remembered clicking the elevator button to Courtney's floor.

❀Courtney's POV❀

It was roughly 12 in the morning, and I just finished editing all my videos and packed by myself. I thought Simon would show up about an hour ago but I guess not. I put on a bbk t-shirt and some grey joggers. Suddenly there was knocking on my door and it was loud and abrupt. I went to the door thinking it was Freya but it couldn't be, she was staying at Josh's. I opened the door to see Simon as he stumbled on me, he was obviously drunk. The strong smell of alcohol roamed his mouth, as I was basically holding his heavy body up.

"Simon," I whispered in shock, managing to close and lock my door he put his arm around my shoulders and walked diagonally.
"Are we gonna have sexy time?" He slurred, I tried not to make light out of this situation. I stayed serious as I sat him on my bed, kicking off his shoes I placed them in the corner.
"Stay here Simon okay?" I said followed by him smiling and nodding.

I went into a spare room that had towels and extra stuff, grabbing a towel and a new tooth brush. I heard Simon jolt from the bed to my bathroom, I rushed to the room to find him throwing up in the toilet. As much as I hate hearing/seeing/being sick it was Simon, he was vulnerable and I had to take care of him. I rubbed his back, I flushed the toilet as he began to mumble. Once he was done, he brushed his teeth and I told him to shower. I had some of his clothes lying around, from the times he's been over and forgot his clothes. He came out of the shower and I put his joggers in the bathroom, he put them on and I sat on my bed. I saw him as he looked at himself in the mirror, he wiped his face and looked down. He turned around and drank some of my water I had on my nightstand.

"Sorry Courtney, I'm so sorry I don't want you to leave me," I rubbed his back as I reassured him that I wouldn't leave him. Minutes later he fell asleep beside me and I just wanted thought about what just happened. If I wasn't there, who would've been there for him. I kissed his forehead and turned off my light and went to bed.
