"Gabby, you can’t walk back, please let me get you a taxi.” Liam pleaded with me as I began to walk back to the tour bus.

“Go away Liam!” I yelled at him, tripping over my own feet as I did so. He grabbed me by the elbow and steadied me before I hit the concrete. I ripped my arm out of his grip.

“Gabby, I will leave you alone, just let me get you back safely and I’ll leave, I won’t ever bug you again.” He begged again, his brown eyes sincere.

“You promise to leave me alone?” I asked him cautiously, searching his eyes tiredly, He nodded.

“Fine.” I agreed.

“Thank you.” He sighed with relief and whipped out his phone. Once he was done he looked to me, concerned.

“Hullo!” I waved giddily.

“Hello?” he answered suspiciously.

“Li-li...” I began, and trailed off, looking up.

“Yeah...?”

“The stars are pretty” I told him, swaying from side to side.  He looked up too.

“I guess they are.” He agreed, I looked up at the sky for a couple more minutes.

“Hey liiiiiaaammm” I dragged out his name, looking back at his face.

“Yes?”

“I love you!” I shouted and flung my arms around him. He staggered back.

“Gabby, you’re drunk.” He pushed me away to arms length so he could still steady me.

“No! I really do!” I protested. Hurt flashed in his eyes.

“Sure you do Gab, come on, our taxi’s here.” He pulled me into a yellow taxi and told the driver where to go. I snuggled into his side, all angry thoughts toward him lost in my drunken state.

“Do you love me?” I asked him.

“You probably wouldn’t remember if I told you.” He said to me.

“Well, if you do then it wouldn’t hurt telling me if I’m not going to remember and if you don’t then it wouldn’t hurt either... you know what I’m saying? You know? Yeah you know.” I explained patting his head. Liam looked at me confused.

“This it?” the taxi driver interrupted us, Liam nodded and payed the fair. I stumbled toward the tour bus. Liam helped me along, he ended up carrying me most of the way. He placed me in my bunk and began to leave.

“Wait!” I called to him, he turned around.  “No good night kiss?” I asked.  He sighed but walked back, flipping his brown hair. He leant down to kiss my forehead but I quickly moved my head and he got my lips instead.
