Only Yours

William's P.O.V

Sunlight streaming through my curtains wakes me up. I haul myself out of bed as quickly as I can so I don't go back to sleep, wondering why my alarm didn't go off. Due to it being summer, it's already light outside and I can hear birds singing, car horns beeping and the chatter of students.

This does not help my killer hangover.

I should have realised that going clubbing until three in the morning then having to wake up four hours later was a stupid thing to do.

I attempt to walk to the bathroom but everything's still slightly blurry and the headache makes it really hard to concentrate so I fall over, grabbing my bed to keep myself upright.

At the other end of my bed, a blonde head pops up. For a moment I freeze as I stare at my best friend, trying to remember if I...if we did anything last night.

Unfortunately, I can't remember anything past my fifth shot at about seven.

'Woah...how much did I drink last night? Wait...this isn't my bed.' He slurs.

'Ye4ah, I know, it's my bed. What are you doing in it, Jack?'

He frowns. 'I don't know. I can't remember.'

'Are you wearing clothes.' I ask, pulling myself up so I'm sitting on the bed.

'Um...yes?' He says unsurely.

I grab a corner of the duvet and pull it away, revealing Jack's completely naked body. He makes no move to cover up so I just throw the cover back over him before groaning and putting my head in my hands. 'Jack...'

'It's not my fault if I finally managed to seduce you.' He manages a wink before sinking back into my pillow. 'Turn off the light. I'm tired.'

I check my alarm clock, which is completely blank. When I check the back the batteries are gone.

Eddy.

'I don't have time for this.' I stand up and walk as quickly as I can to the bathroom before grabbing two aspirin and swallowing them without water. Almost instantly my vision clears and the nausea fades slightly allowing me to make my way over to the toilet, rubbing my face as I go. I desperately need to shave but there's no time.

'How can you not have time for this? I might have taken your virginity, Will.'

'I doubt it. Nothing's hurting.' I call.

'I am, though...doesn't make sense...I always top with dudes.'

I finish pissing and grab my toothbrush, brushing my teeth while I make my way over to my chest of drawers, grabbing my new oxford hoodie and a pair of my roommate Eddy's jeans since I don't have any.

'You're taking this very calmly.' He says as I pull on my trainers.

'Why wouldn't I?' I'm distracted, hunting for my iPad and phone then putting them in my rucksack along with my advanced chemistry textbook and the presents I bought for my family.

'Will, you freak out when you drop a single mark on a test. You lost your virginity, for gods sake!'

'Might've lost my virginity.' I correct, turning off the tap and scribbling a note for Eddy telling him where I am.

'God, you are so changeable, aren't you?'

'Whatever, Jack. I need to go. I'm being picked up at nine.' I check my watch which reads half eight. I have plenty of time to get down to reception, maybe even time for a quick cigarette before whoever is picking me up arrives.
