Josie's p.o.v:
I get out the taxi and laugh
Me: pay you next time?
The taxi man shakes his head
Me: ma...atee! Let me tell you something! When a drunk girl gets into your car and doesn't throw up consider it payment!! And be very proud of yourself coz you are a good driver mate!!
The taxi guy looks at me.
Me: I'm going to throw up if you don't move!!
He laughs and shuts his door.
Taxi: don't tell anyone...
I squint trying to read his name tag.
Me: I won't... don! Your a cool guy! I like you! Never change don! If I had change I would give you it! But I left my purse at the bar! It's okay tho... my horrible brother is there!
He laughs and leaves
I walk up the stairs and get to the door banging it violently
Me: BLAIR!! BLAIR!! BLAIR!! OPEN UP!
I realize it is late so I stop
Me: please?
The door slowly opens and Blair stares at me.
Me: Blair omg... I....I... I am very very very very...
I pause
Me: what was I saying? Oh yeah very! Drunk! Can I stay here? Cos I hate rye setting and everyone else!
Blair just nods and guides me into the living room where the boys used to sleep.
Blair: just be quiet okay?
I nod
Me: okay?
He walks into the kitchen and gets me a glass of water.
Me: Blair you are so nice! You are like my family. But not! Your my substitute family!!
Blair half laughs half yawns and leaves the room
Blair: night
Me: night.

Ryes p.o.v:
I open the flat door
Me: Josie?
She doesn't answer not even a sound either she is flat out or not here. She left her purse so I took it back with me. I go into jacks room. She's not there I throw the purse down
Aghhh
Ellie: she isn't here is she?!
Me: no!!
Ellie sits down next to me and rests her head on my shoulder.
Ellie: she can't have got far she is drunk and has no money!
Amelia walks in and sighs
Amelia: sometimes rye...
I look up
Rye: please don't start...
Amelia: you try to hard to control her... she's old enough to think for herself...
Rye: she clearly isn't....
Amelia taps on the door frame clearly taken back my how harsh I was and then slowly leaves.
Andy walks past and smiles
Andy: she'll be fine... she always is!
I smile back
Me: one time she won't be...
Ellie looks at me
Ellie: you need to stop worrying so much... come on let's get you to bed.
I nod and slowly get up.

The next morning:
Josie p.o.v:
I wake up and stretch. I have the worst head ache and I feel like shit.
I am going to be sick
I look down and there is a bucket there.
Uhhh when did that get there?
I look up and see ginger sitting across from me smiling
Ginger: let it all out girl come on! You have been doing it since four o'clock...
I smile and then puke...
Me: I am so sorry ging...
She smiles and lets out a little laugh.
Ginger: no it's alright... I understand you didn't want to go back...
Me: have you told rye...
Ginger: no you were screaming at me and Blair telling us not to...
I laugh.
Me: he's gonna be mad at me isn't he...
She nods and then Blair walks in
Blair: so the devils awake...
I smile.
Me: I don't want to go back... I didn't want to come here in the first place mum made me... she said I hadn't seen Ryan in so long...
Ginger gets up and pats my back
Ginger: you want me to come with you...
I nod and smile.
Ginger: let's get you freshened up first...
Blair hands me a green liquid
Blair: don't smell it don't do anything just down it...
I do what he says it was gross but I didn't puke it back up so that was a start.
It made me feel a little better. But I still had the headache and the guilt...
Ginger props me up and smiles
Ginger: okay let's get you in that shower...
I shake my head: noooooo
Ginger: Josie!
I slowly get up and plod into the bathroom
I hate showers when I am sober let alone hungover...
About 20 minuets in to my shower ginger knocks on the door
Ginger: oyyy! Come on! We don't have all day!
Me: but I dooooo!!!!
I get out and get changed into some fresh clothes ginger had put out for me
Me: ginger I don't deserve this!
Ginger: maybe you don't! But you looked gross so...
We both laugh
Ginger: alright let's go. Blair has text rye telling him that you are safe... he seemed more relieved then angry...
Yeah right...
Me: I guess it's now or never... I hate this bit...
Blair walks in
Blair: I know you do...
We all walk out and get into Blair's "car" more like a bus but still and set off...
