Delilah

We have been in this club for a few hours now. I don't remember why we chose it, but I guess I was already too drunk. I didn't even know what time it is, all I wanted was to have some fun.

"Delilah! You're too drunk!" Quinn screamed in my ear since the music was too loud. I took another shot of some liquid to tease Quinn.

"Says who? You can barely walk!" I screamed back at her and we both laughed about it. Quinn and I haven't been to a club since a while now, and it indeed felt good like the old days. Mr. Taylor was also pretty drunk, since he danced like a lizard on the dance floor. "I need to use the bathroom." I screamed to Quinn before I took off. I stumbled across all the people as I tried to find my way to the bathroom. I was lost, but luckily I was in the hallway so it was a bit more quiet. I let out a deep sigh as I still couldn't find the way.  Before I knew I grabbed my phone and dialled Grayson's number.

"Hello? Lilah?" I heard Grayson's voice as I had a hard time trying to find the right words.

"Yeah you, I couldn't find the bathroom so I decided to call you somehow." I said to him as I stumbled across my words sometimes. "Do you know how hard it was seeing you leave?" I asked out of a sudden and I was shocked by my own words.

"Lilah? Where are you?" I heard Grayson ask and I shrugged my shoulders.

"In some club, with some loud music that breaks my ears." I said as I looked around me. "I gotta go, I see the bathroom." I said and before Grayson could answer I had already hung up. I kicked my high heels off and almost fell down to the ground as I wanted to pick them up. I quickly went to the bathroom to free myself from all the liquids I had drank the last hours.

As I stumbled back to the dance area I made my way outside. It was sweating hot inside it was almost suffocating me. My heart was beating fast and I needed some fresh air.

"Delilah! Where are you going!" I heard mr. Taylor say as he followed me outside. Quinn was right behind him and I shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't find the right words to speak, my whole body was struggling against me.

"Delilah!" I heard Grayson scream for me and as I looked towards him my sight got blurry. I quickly held my hand in front of my mouth but it was too late. I backed down to the ground as everything in my stomach came out through my mouth. I felt disgust but also a bit more myself. "Oh my goodness..." I heard Grayson say as I stood back up.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered to him as he handed me over a tissue. I wiped my mouth clean and looked at him. "What are you doing here?" I whispered to him as I frowned.

"I'm here to pick you up, and there is a cab ready for Taylor and Quinn." Grayson said as he slowly lifted me up. I frowned at him and then looked back at Quinn and mr. Taylor. They stood frozen to the ground as they did not know what was going on.

"Why did you come to get me?" I asked Grayson when he sat me down in the car. He sat down in the driver's seat and immediately drove back home.

"Because you needed me." Grayson said. I slowly nodded at him as I looked out of the window. My eyes got heavier by the minute. I gave in and shut my eyes as I felt safe by Grayson's company.

The next morning.

I got shaken around in bed, as I felt something heavy on top of me. "Wake up, Delilah! You're already too late!" I heard Grayson say and I slowly opened up my eyes.

"Stop! Don't scream and put the lights down!" I groaned. I put my hands on my head and covered my eyes but Grayson pushed them away.

"Wake up, sleepyhead. I made breakfast for you." He said as he slowly came closer with his face. I watched him in curiosity, waiting what he was going to do. "Come on." He said again as he planted a kiss on my forehead. He jumped off of me and dragged me out of bed.

"Grayson Bailey Dolan! I'm going to kill your ass if you won't put me down!" I said to him as I bungled in his arms.

"You love me, Delilah Scott. Admit it." Grayson said as he walked down the stairs with me still in his arms. "Say it and I'll put you down."

"Grayson!" I screamed again.

"Say it!"

"Ok! Ok! I love you, Grayson. I love you!" I said and I could feel my feet touch the ground again. I let out a relieved sigh as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Here." Grayson said as he gave me some aspirin and a glass of juice. I took the aspirin and Grayson walked with me towards the living room as he held a plate with food for me. "What do you remember of yesterday?" Grayson asked as we sat down on the couch and Ethan joined us.

"Uhh, I made you upset at the business party, after that Quinn, mr. Taylor and I went clubbing and after that I lost it." I said as Grayson gave me the plate with food.

"Lilah, we want to talk with you about something." Ethan said and I immediately looked towards him. I frowned a bit and immediately closed my eyes since Ethan sat at the window side and the sun was shining brightly in my face. "Oh shit." He sat and I could hear he jumped off the couch and closed the curtains.

"Ethan and I really feel sorry for leaving you, and we want to make it up to you." Grayson said and I watched him in confusion. "We hoped you would come to live with us." Grayson said and my eyes widened immediately. I choked on my food and Grayson immediately grabbed the plate away from me. Ethan rubbed my back as I slowly caught my breath again.

"I-..." I looked at both Ethan and Grayson and tried to find the right words. "I would love to but what about my job?" I asked them and I saw they were thinking about it too.

"We will figure it out, let's take rest because you're hungover." Grayson said as he sat down besides me again. He laid an arm around me as he gave me my food again. He put the tv on and I let my head rest on his shoulder as we took some time off.
