Blake helped me get Jack into the house when we arrived home and I took great pleasure in watching him wriggle along the hallway floor to the kitchen. He was claiming he couldn't walk but was desperately in need of water. He resembled a very drunk slug and I watched him, wondering how he was going to get water from the tap if he couldn't stand up. Strange boy.

Are we even really related?

I say bye to Blake, giving him a hug and seeing him out through the front door. I can hear Jack calling me from the kitchen and I'm worried that he's going to wake my Aunt and Uncle. They were okay about us attending a party, but I don't think they'd be too impressed to see their sixteen year old son slithering on the kitchen floor.

I enter the room and I'm surprised to see Jack sitting up at the kitchen island.

"What is that?" I ask him, closing the distance between us and squinting at him.

"What is what?" He sounds like he has a cold.

"Oh my gosh, Jack! Why do you have hot Cheetos up both nostrils?!"

"I can do it now, look!" He exclaims, completely ignoring my question.

"Yeah, because you're drunk and completely numb. Idiot!" I smack myself in the forehead in outrage.

I leave him there and make my way up to bed. He should be safe enough considering he's in his own house and I've locked the front door.

I take my shoes off and throw myself back on the bed. There's nothing quite like removing heels after a night out. My feet were screaming in those shoes. Pain is beauty I suppose, even if my feet aren't going to be too pretty after years of wearing shoes like these.

My phone beeps in my clutch bag and I take it out. The only people who have my number are in this house and Daisy, since I gave it to her during the week. Surely she wouldn't message me at 3am.

I unlock my phone and see the name Kai come up on the screen. How the hell do I have his number?

I read the message-
Kai
I'm so sorry gorgeous girl xxx

I message back to ask how he got my number and he responds after a couple of minutes.

Kai
Don't hate me more than you already probably do, but I took your phone from your bag when you weren't looking 😣🙈 xxx

Elise
I don't hate you. I don't know you enough to hate you x

Kai
Would you consider getting to know me? xxx

Elise
I'm worried about creating even more drama. Watching you and Blake at each other's throats is not a nice experience x

Kai
What if I promise to be civil to Coleman? xxx

Elise
I don't know. You and your friends trying to make him look bad for being a virgin was just nasty. I don't really see how you're going to be civil after that x

Kai
I swear I didn't know Vince was going to do that. He was just trying to be my wingman, you know? What he did was fu*ked up xxx

Elise
I don't know Kai x

Kai
I love knowing you just typed my name and put a kiss next to it xxx

Elise
😂 You're insane x
