If I fell (Chris Pratt fanfic)✅

Chapter 25

A/N:  I'm super excited to see the Avengers tonight!! Anyway! Thank you for reading! ;)

Tuesday evening Allie forced Belle to go out to eat. Chris was in New York and was going to be busy hitting all the talk shows including Kimmel and Fallon. Allie thought a girl's night out, even though it was a work night, would be helpful.

"He'll be back Saturday." Allie reminded her as they grabbed a table at the crowded bar/restaurant.

"I know. It's not the small amounts of time apart. It's the big ones coming up that have me freaked out." Belle raised her hand to signal their waitress.

"Maybe you can go with him. Atlanta is fun. Do the Dodgers play the Braves?" Allie paused as the waitress approached to take their drink order.

Belle nodded and then ordered her drink. "You know what.....Let me have a long island iced tea please."

Allie cocked her head to the side. "Just going for it huh?"

Belle shrugged. "What is one gonna hurt?"

"Water for me." Allie said.

"Really Al? Really?"

"One of us has to be able to drive home."

"One long island iced tea isn't gonna put me over the limit."

Allie just raised an eyebrow. "So which show will Chris be on first?" She asked changing the subject.

"Jimmy Fallon, that's tonight. He's landing and basically heading straight there."

"Oooh did you tell him about your huge crush on Jimmy Fallon?"

Belle laughed. "He knows his competition."

"Ah shit!" A voice called from across the bar. Belle and Allie looked up to find Hunter and a couple other guys from the team sitting at the bar. They had noticed Belle and Allie and Hunter was making his way over.

"You've got to be kidding me." Belle muttered under her breath.

"Girls night?" He asked joining them and leaning on their table top.

"It is." Allie replied. "No boys allowed." She gave him a sarcastic smile.

"Where's Pratt?" Hunter turned to Belle.

"Out of town."

"Oh really?" His face lit up.

Belle nodded with a roll of her eyes. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"Just wanted to say hi. Y'all are vicious. But you know what...." He turned and flagged down the waitress. "2 shots of whatever these 2 beautiful ladies want."

"No thank you!" Belle and Allie both declined quickly.

"It's on me!" Hunter winked and walked back to his buddies.

"What's it going to be ladies?" The waitress asked.

Belle and Allie looked at each other. "2 Lemon drops." Belle decided.

An hour later Belle and Allie were both a few more shots in and had joined Hunter and his friends at the bar to play a few rounds of trivia.

Belle was on her way to being way past drunk and enjoying every minute of it. She didn't even notice when Matt and Josh walked in.

"Hey!" Matt grinned walking up to them.

"MATT!" Belle stumbled off her bar stool and threw her arms around his neck. "What are the odds that you'd be here?" Her words were slurred.

Matt laughed, "Allie called me." He looked over at Allie.

"I did?" Allie frowned trying to recall calling him. "Oh yeah. I did." She laughed hysterically.

"How much have you had to drink?" Josh asked.

"Just a little bit." Belle held up her fingers holding her thumb and pointer finger less then an inch apart. "About this much." Then she busted out laughing.

"Do y'all want a ride home?" Matt asked.

"I'll get them home." Hunter jumped in.

"I think you're just as drunk as they are." Josh eyed Hunter.

"I said I'll get them home." Hunter repeated.

"Boys boys boys." Belle stepped up in between them. "Don't fight over us." Her eyes were barely open.

"Come on." Matt suggested. "We'll stop at In-N-Out and get a greasy burger and I'll take you guys home."

"They don't want to leave man. Step off." Hunter raised his voice.

"Do everyone a favor and just let this go." Matt warned.

"Hunter it's fine." Belle hiccuped and then giggled. "Matt is Chris's friend. We can go with him."

Hunter didn't say anything but didn't back down.

"No seriously." Allie cleared her throat trying her best to sound sober. "We can go with them. We should get home anyway. Belle, Chris is going to be on Jimmy Fallon. We can't miss him." Allie slid off her bar stool stumbling into Josh.

"My boyfriend is on Jimmy Fallon!" Belle squealed. "I have to go." She turned to Hunter. "Thanks for the drinks."

Matt and Josh took Allie and Belle home and made sure they were both inside ok. Belle got to her bedroom and was about to lay in bed when her stomach turned. She ran to the bathroom and threw up everything she had eaten and drank.

Sitting on the cold tile in her bathroom she threw up until there was nothing left and then she dry heaved. Chris called her a couple times but she couldn't answer. She ended up finally getting into her bed and passing out missing Chris on 'The Tonight Show.'

The next morning Belle had to go in late, she couldn't get her head to stop spinning till after 9. On her way into work she called Chris.

"Hey! You had me worried last night." He answered.

"I know. I'm so sorry. Allie and I went out to eat and ended up drinking a little too much."

"I heard." Chris said flatly.

"You did?"

"Matt called."

"Oh yeah..." Belle ran her fingers through her hair remembering the night before.

"And you were with Hunter."

"I wasn't with him. He was just there."

"Matt said when he got there  you were drinking with Hunter and his friends."

"Yeah well Matt has a big mouth." Belle snapped.

"Matt took you home last night and got you home safe. Which is more then Hunter probably would have done. Well no, I'm sure he would have gotten you home. And gotten in your pants."

"Are you serious?" Belle felt like she had been slapped. "Are you suggesting I would have been drunk enough to cheat on you and sleep with Hunter?"

"I don't know." Chris's voice sounded distant.

"Well if that's what you think I don't think I want to talk to you right now."

"Fine." Chris retorted.

"Fine." Belle echoed and slammed her phone down before the tears spilled over her cheeks.
