Baby Please Remember...

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

*So I lied. This is the last chapter of Baby Please Remember! I can't believe that I've completed the second book in this series already! It's insane to me to think that you all loved my first book so much 😂 I'm so bloody grateful to everyone who's read, or liked, or commented on this story. To everyone's opinions on my questions pages, and to everyone who's given me advice. It all means the world to me and I love you all!
I have already started working on chapter one of the next book so don't be surprised if it's up soon!
I also know that this chapter isn't really the best to go out on, but it's done; and that's all I can say!
Thank you again, to everyone! I hope you love this ending and the next book too!! 💕💕💕*

*BRIAN'S POV*
My head was throbbing. I hadn't even opened my eyes yet, but I could already feel the pulsing of my brain against my skull. Fuck. I fucked up. I shouldn't have gone on that bender, I REALLY shouldn't have gone on that bender. Three days of binging is NOT how I should've handled this. I knew drinking was a bad idea, and even before Rog left the pub I knew it would come back to bite me in the ass.

"Ooh, Pluto is a planet?" I heard Roger's voice come from beside me, scaring me a little. Roger? Why was Rog here? Was I at home? "I thought Pluto was a dog?" He mumbled, making me snort back a small laugh.

"Pluto is a planet and a dog, Rog." I groaned, my eyes still closed as I focused on trying to not throw up everything I'd consumed over the last day. I felt horrible. I don't even know how I made it back here! But I was thankful that Roger was with me. I don't know why he was, but I was glad I wasn't alone.

"You're awake." He said quietly, nudging my side a little. "You've been out for a while." He added as I slowly blinked my eyes open, my head feeling even worse as the light hit me.

"Fuck." I groaned, covering my face with my hand. The room was spinning. What had I done to myself?!

"You really did a number on yourself, didn't you?" Roger chuckled as I looked up at him sitting against the headboard. "There's some aspirin and water beside the bed." He added, nodding towards my side table as he flicked his eyes back to the book he'd been reading, one of my astrological journals. I rolled over, pushing myself to sit up before taking the glass and pills.

"You, you didn't have to do this for me." I sighed, downing the water and the aspirin. "You should've let me suffer." I muttered, lying back down again as I threw my arm over my face.

"I could've let you suffer," Rog started, placing his book down. "but it's my fault you ended up in this mess Bri. I couldn't just leave you." He sighed, sounding upset.

"Rog, this isn't your fault at all. You didn't make me drink as much as I have been. You didn't do anything." I said seriously, moving to sit up again. Every part of me was aching, my stomach churning, but I had to sit up. I had to let him know this wasn't his fault.

"I left you there Brian. I left. You were so upset, you were pouring out your love for me and I just fucking left!" He scoffed. "I shouldn't have left you there. I shouldn't have taken you there and then just ditched you." He whispered, shaking his head as he stared at his hands picking threads off his jumper.

"You did what you thought was right for you at the time Roger, and I don't hold anything against you." I soothed, reaching over to grab his hand, stopping his picking. "I deserved it. I broke your heart, and I shouldn't have expected you to just forgive me, no matter how hard I tried." I sighed, a flicker of hope filling my heart as he laced his fingers with mine.

"You, you love me." He said quietly as he focused his attention back on me. I nodded, a small smile on my face. I loved him more than anything. "I, I love you too." He smiled back, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. "I uh, I did tell you earlier, but you were still very drunk." He chuckled, making me blush a little with embarrassment.
