Since me and Jack talked, a lot has happened.

By a lot, I mean a lot.

Jack gave me some ice for my face and made sure I was alright by constantly kissing me.

*wink wink*

Briy turned up at our apartment to make sure I was okay. I'm so proud of myself because I didn't cry. I told her I was okay and exactly what happened. She told me and Jack that Marcus got up and walked away and Aspen walked after him in her slutty heels. Mikey also walked off by himself without saying a word to anyone. Har broke down in the restaurant crying about how it's all her fault. Now, everyone is back at the hotel, apart from Mikey.

"What happened when you got here then?" Briy got a can of pop from the fridge.

"Nothing?" Jack said.

"Oh quit the shit. I know." Briy took a sip.

"Oh right." Jack said in the same tone.

"Yeah, I know your activities." Briy narrowed her eyes.

"And I know your's and Joe's." I narrowed mine.

"You two really do tell each other everything." Jack sighed.

"Oh speaking of telling you things Laur! I'm due on my period for the flight home!" Briy exasperated.

"Unlucky." I smirked.

"Oh my goodness gracious me! I did not need to know that!" Jack shouted.

Me and Briy started to laugh but a knock on the door stopped us. My body immeadiantly tensed.

"Come here." Jack noticed and gestured for me to go to him.

I lay at the side of Jack and he put his arm around me.

"Lauren, nothing's going to happen now." He kissed my head.

"Erm what was that I just saw?"

I looked up to see Ard looking at me and Jack.

"What?" I said as if nothing happened.

She knitted her eyebrows together and then turned around to all the others that have somehow managed to get into our apartment.

"Where's Mikey?" Jack asked.

"We don't know." Josh sighed.

Looking around, I saw everyone except Mikey. There was a crying Harper, a not bothered Arden and of course, a very angry Georgia.

God I love that girl.

Conor was trying to calm Georgia down but he was miserably failing. Josh was calming down Harper but was too, miserably failing. Arden came and sat on the bed with me and Jack.

"I'm too stressed out to fucking cry." Ard huffed.

"Too stressed out? Are you kidding me? Don't you think Laur's stressed out?!" Gee shouted to Ard.

"Obviously." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm not getting this. You're over there not showing any fucking emotions! You're over there crying over fucking Mikey and Laur's over there perfectly fine in Jack's fucking arms!" Gee lost her temper.

Conor had to pull her back and put his arms around her so she'd calm down.

"I'm not perfectly fine Gee. I'm far from it but I've calmed down and got over it." I told her.

"I know but why are you so calm? Why is Harper over there crying as if it's the end of the world and everything's about her?" Gee broke from Conor's arms.

"I'm going to go to the police. If we stay here tomorrow, we'll be fine. Harper's got a right to be upset she's just lost her boyfriend."

"I'm sorry Lauren. I caused this by arguing with Mikey." Har lifted her head up.

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. Her voice was small like she didn't want to talk. If I was her, I would be scared of Gee too.

"Har, it's not your fault. It was going to happen anyway even if you and Mikey didn't start arguing."

"I'm pissed because why did you all stop me from hitting the bitch? I could have put her in her place but no. You have to drag me back."

"Why is no one bothered about Mikey?" Jack interrupted.

"I know. We need to go and find him." Oli spoke up for the first time.

To the side of him, was a shocked looking Megan. I feel so sorry for her, she's way younger than us and has to put up with all this adult drama. Well, she is an adult but she's only just turned one. I would have hated dealing with all this at eighteen years old.

Then, to the other side, was a quiet Caspar and Maddie.

"It's Mikey, he's probably pissed by now. He's going to do something stupid." Jack said sternly.

"Okay, who's going to go?" I said.

"Not you. You're staying here." Jack looked down at me.

"I would go but I don't want to leave this one." Conor gestured to Gee.

Gee had calmed down a lot by now but still had that look of anger in her eyes. I could tell it wasn't because of Har, it was because of Aspen.

"I'll go." Caspar stepped forward.

"I think I'll take Har and Gee to mine." Briy said.

"Yeah, I'll go with Casp." Joe said.

"I'll go with you then Briy and Oli can go with the lads." Megan decided.

Briy nodded in response.

Everyone gathered around the door, including me and Jack.

"You need to go with them." I told Jack.

"No, I'm not leaving you and you're not going anywhere apart from this room." Jack grabbed my hands.

"Jack, go and find your best friend for fuck sake. Why do you care about me so much?"

"Because I love you."

"Yes, I love you too, but you need to go."

"Okay." He gave in after a look of concentration.

"I love you loads." I said and kissed him gently.

In response, he kissed me once again, this time with more passion. When we pulled apart, everyone in the room was looking at us with wide eyes except from Briy.

"What? Move on people." I sighed.

Everyone left the room without another word.
