Part 9

Anne’s POV

I can hear Tom stumbling up the stairs, but I just ignore it and pretend I’m sleeping, when in actual fact I have been up all night worrying.  I don’t have a problem with him drinking, I just wish he would tell me where he’s going and that he’s okay. He bangs open the door and to be honest I would be surprised if the whole house isn’t awake by now.

“Oops. Sorry babe.” Tom slurs, as he tries to get into bed but falls on top of me.

“You’re alive then.”

“Don’t be like that honey.” He says while trying to kiss me, but I move out of the way.

“Do you have any idea how worried I was tonight?”

“You worry too much, I told you where I was going.”

“Only you weren’t there, and wouldn’t answer your phone. Tom you have to stop doing this to me; I can’t take it.”

“I’m sorry babe.” He says while trying to kiss me again.

“I’m not in the mood tonight.” I say before lying back down so that my back is too him. I hear him sigh loudly and mumble something under his breath; before I fall asleep finely able to now that I can stop worrying.

Max’s POV

I wake up expecting to find Lottie by my side but she’s not here, which surprises me. She went out late last night; one of her friends was really upset about something. I didn’t think she’d be up be up this early. 

“Lottie babe.” I call while wondering into the kitchen.

“Haven’t seen her since last night mate.” Nathan tells me just as Rebecca walks into the room. They smile shyly at each other and I can’t help but wonder what happened when they both disappeared last night, but before asking about that I need to find out where Lottie is.

“Thanx mate. Morning Rebecca.”

“Morning.” She says before going to sit with Nathan. I leave the room and I get my phone out to dial her number, no answer. What’s going on?

Lottie’s POV

“It’s Max.” I say before hanging up and turning over to kiss Dan.

“You need to tell him the truth babe.” He replies while running his fingers through my hair. “I don’t like sharing you.” I smile up at him, but I can’t tell Max the truth. I wouldn’t be able to bare the look on his face knowing that it was me causing him the pain. “I’ll tell him if you want.”

“That would be worse. I’ll tell him. You’re just going to have to be patient.” He sighs deeply, but he also knows that this is the best offer he is going to get.

“Good. Just remember it will hurt him more the longer you leave it.” And with that Dan pushes me back onto the bed before we continue where we left of last night. I do feel bad for what I am doing to Max, but that doesn’t last long as soon the only thing I can think of is how good it feels to be with here with Dan.
