The next morning Aston woke up very early. He didn't sleep well and he spent all night spinning in bed. He sat on his bed and remembered everything that happend. Then he turned his phone on again and saw a message from Marvin.
„Hey, bruv, I hope you're ok. If you need anything, just give me a call and we'll deal with it. What do you say we meet up later today and play ball with guys?“-Aston smiled. This is why Marv was his best friend, his older brother. He always looked after Aston.
„Thank you, bruv, but I'm staying at home for few days. I need to clear my mind. See you when I come back in London.“-Aston replied and went to the window. It was a cold day outside. He trembled so he found his old clothes and he put them on. Soon, he went downstairs and found his mum there.
„Aston, what are you doing up so early?“-Siobhan asked.
„I just couldn't sleep well so I thought I'll come down here and get some coffee.“-Aston replied and went to the kitchen.
„How are you today? Any better?“-she asked.
„Yes“-he lied-„I'm feeling a little better today. I just needed to sleep over it.“-he said and sat next to his mum with cup of coffe in his hands.
„So, what are you planning to do now? Are you still staying here or are you going back to London?“-Siobhan asked.
„No, I'm staying here for a few days.“-Aston drank a little bit coffee.-„How are you? What do you say about X Factor now that it's done? Are you satisfied?“-he asked.
„Oh, I'm great. So proud of you. You were amazing. Seeing you on stage with other guys, was amazing. You are very special, you know. There is something about you guys that no one can explain. Although, I'm very proud for everything you've achieved, I was a little bit sad that you didn't win. You've deserved it. But I guess God knows why it turned out this way.“-Siobhan smiled at her son.
Marvin got up next morning with a really bad hangover. He couldn't remember some parts of last night and he had a terrible headache. He got up and went straight to the shower. When he got out, he saw a message from Aston on his phone. He read it and hoped that Aston will be ok soon. While he was dressing up the phone started to ring.
„Hello?“-Marv said while his head was aching.
„Hey, bruv, what's up? How are you?“-it was Oritse who seemed to be ok although he drank even more than Marvin.
„Hey, Reesh. I have a terrible hangover. How come you sound so good?“-Marv asked.
„Well, I think it was that georgeus lady with whom I danced the entire night. It's all about love.“-Reesh started to laugh and Marvin joined him.
„What do you say we meet at Nando's in an hour? I'm starving“-Marvin suggested.
„Yeah, me too. Are you gonna call JB and Aston?“
„Aston is staying at his house for few days so I'll call JB and let him know. See you there, bruv!“-Marvin said.
„Ok, see you there!“-Reesh responded and hung up.
Marvin dialed JB's number.
„Hey, bruv!“-JB said.
„Hey, you sound terrible.“-Marv laughed.
„I feel even worse. How are you?“-JB asked.
„I'm a little better than you as I hear. Look, Reesh and I are going to Nando's in an hour. Do you wanna come?“-Marvin offered.
„Of course I wanna go. I'm starving. But what about Aston? How come he isn't coming?“-JB noticed.
„He'll be off for few days. He needs time to process everything. I'll see you in an hour.“-Marv said.
„Ok, see you.“
