Madison's POV:
Waking up the next day from being drunk is the worst thing. For some people.

Unlike me. It's not too bad, since my hangovers don't consist me puking, or eating fatty foods. I'm just extremely tired.

I wake up remembering some parts of last night. And by some I mean Ethan taking me home and the things he said.

It's a Sunday and usually I just catch up on my favourite tv show or lay in bed all day. Especially since my family is out until Tuesday night.

But, instead. I want to see Ethan.

I reach for my phone and notice that it's on 10% battery. Great.

I plug it in and scroll through my notifications. I go to see the time and I curse to myself.

"Shit it's already 12:30" I say aloud. Even though I'm talking to myself.

I've never slept this late in ages, I get up and decide to be semi productive for the day.

I needed to wake myself up so I went in the shower, I feel disgusting after drinking so much last night.

-
It's 5:30 right now and I've been pretty occupied. If you count binge watching Netflix for three hours was occupied.

I'm distracted when my phone ringtone goes off. I see the contact name and it read 'Layla💓' I swipe the answer button and prepare myself for what she's about to tell me.

"Hey Lay, what's up?" And without a second to spare she answers straight away. "Let me come over? I need to talk to you about someone, it's urgent" she says and a mumble a fine before she hangs up.

Since she lives 30 minutes away I decide to do my make up, get changed and do my hair while I wait.

I change into my Nike black leggings, a grey crop top and paired it with my black and white Nike bomber.

I put my hair into boxer braids just before I done my light makeup.

I go down my staircase opening my door just as the same time as she's walking up to my patio. "Hey what's-" she cute over me. "It's about that douchbag you was with last night" she says stomping into my house.

I close the door and we head towards my big lounge room. "What? I'm so confused" I say. Was she talking about Ethan.

"Gabe Thomas, I told you he was bad news but you didn't listen" she says. And memories from last night came flooding back to my mind.

We sit on my black couch and I ask her to go on as I sit opposite her while she tosses her phone around in her hands.

"Lay come on I'm not waiting all day" I say getting annoyed. "Have you checked twitter today?" I shake my head side to side.

"Okay don't freak out, but you probably will" she says before she pulls up the app and types in Gabe's account.

"Here read these" she says handing me her gold coloured phone.

I scroll through his tweets and a pain in my chest appears. I can't believe what I was reading.

@gabe.thomas: never trust girls who run back to their ex's

@gabe.thomas: Madison Palmer is one stuck up bitch, acts all nice to your face when all she wants is to smash.

@Alyssaaaharris: heard she only dated Ethan Dolan to get in his pants and to make me jealous, I'd never be jealous of her

@gabe.thomas: reply to @AlyssaaaHarris: how embarrassing, pretty girl but ugly heart

I tear slides down my cheek and Layla notices and takes the phone away from me. "I'm sorry" she says.

"It's not your fault, I'm glad you showed me" I say. She grabbed my body so we hug.

We get interrupted by my phone ringtone going off. "It's Ethan" I say trying to faint my tears.

She tells me to answer it and I do as she says. "Hello"

"Hey Mad's, your voice is shaky, have you been crying?" He asks worriedly.
"N-no I'm fine" I lied. Hoping he'd fall for it.
"Madison, if it's about what Gabe and Alyssa have done I'm so sorry"
Why is he apologising?
"Why are you sorry?"
"Because it involves me, I haven't even told them anything I promise" he says and I nod. I then remember that he can't see me.

"I know you wouldn't E, I believe you, I'm just upset that he could do this. H-he was so nice to me last night" I say. After talking for 2 more minutes he tells me that we should meet up later to talk about last night. Little does he know is that I know what he said.

I end the call and turn to face Layla. "Are you seeing him later? I thought you hated him?" She asks.

"That was the alcohol talking" I say and she laughs. "Before the party you dummy" she says and I shake my head.

"I could never hate him, you know I still like him.. allot. Especially after what he told me last night" I confess. She gives me a look for me to say more.

"He told me that he thinks he's falling in love with me and that he misses what ever we had" I say and she gasps.

"Wait Ethan Dolan, he actually confessed his feelings to your face". "Well kind of, see he thought I was fast asleep but he didn't know that, that was the last thing I remembered while falling asleep" she replies by squealing and telling me that I need to go see him.

Ethan's POV:
8:20 rolls by, I texted Madison to ask her to meet me. I told her that I was home alone so she could come over mine.

I'm not sure if she heard me last night. But either way I'm done.

Done with lying to her. Done with being Alyssa's toy. I like, I love Madison. She's the one I want. And I need to tell her and be honey with her.

I head out my door and as I've walked for two minutes rain starts to poor down on me. I didn't want to go back for a coat. I just want to see Madison.

Madison's POV:
It started raining, but I was only 3 minutes away from his house so I didn't bother going back.

My heart starts to beat fast as I reach his oh so familiar street. Even though two days ago I thought he hated me. My feelings towards him have grown even more.

I can't really see anything around me since the rain is coming down pretty heavy. I suddenly see a tall figure in the distance and automatically know it's Ethan.

"Madison?" He calls out. Yup it's definitely him.

I start to walk faster since I just wait to just be in his embrace . As soon as our bodies are 5 seconds away from one another he smiles and that causes me to do the same.

"Ethan I-" I was about to tell him about how much he means to me until he cuts me off.

"You don't have to say anything" Ethan says right before his lips are attached to mine.

They mold together and the familiar feeling of his hands on my waist makes me feel so weak. My hands go to his neck, just like we used to do.

I smile and laugh into the kiss because I could contain how much happiness I was filled with. I adore this boy.

I pull away and rest my forehead on his and he laughs. "I've wanted to do that for the longest time, I hated lying to you" he says and I smile again.

While the rain still pores on us he pecks my lips once more before pulling a strand of hair out of my face that fell out of my braids.

"Let's get out of the cold, and I promise you I can explain everything" I nod and he walks us to his house.
