Chapter 50

Sharon's Pov

I flopped down on the bed in my hotel room and gave a sigh of content. "Sharon?"

"What Willam?"

"Chad wants to see you." 

"I've already hurt him."

"But he wants to see you." 

"Fine."

Willam left as Chad walked in and sat on the bed next to me. "I'm sorry." I said breaking the silence. "Why didn't you tell me you and Alaska used to date?"

"We ended things badly and I didn't want to drag you into it but seeing her here made me realize how much she still means to me and how much I've missed her, all these emotions were just thrown back up."

We sat in silence for a short while. "Are you mad at me?"

"No."

"Really? Why not?"

"You can't help the way you feel."

"I really do love you Chad and you're one of the sweetest people I've ever met but-"

"-You don't have to explain yourself."

"But-"

"-I said no."

I sighed once again. "I best get going."

"I'm sorry."

"I've already said It's alright."

"I love you Chad."

"I love you too."

Chad gave me a weak smile before leaving the room.

Alaska's Pov

"I want to go home."

"You sure?"

"Mhm."

"Right i'll start packing whilst you go and get us some drinks."

"Alright but you're paying." Courtney chucked some money on the bed then started to chuck clothes into a case.

I made my way to the little coffee shop down the road. "Next!"

"Three large caramel lattes to go please."

I handed over the money and looked around, my eyes landed on the only other person in the room. I sat down at their table and they looked up at me. "Hey."

"How are you?"

"Tired, you?"

"Well I recently promised myself to a really fit guy who still hasn't planned our first date."

"Oh, he sounds like a right dick."

"I think he might be."

"Sir your drinks are ready."

"Well I best get back I've got my packing to do."

"You're going home?"

"Yeah I can't stick sleeping in that hotel bed anymore."

"You can join me in my room?"

"I thought we were taking things slow?"

"Fine...I'm sorry, but it was worth a shot."

"It's okay, anyway have you heard from Chad?"

"I spoke to him last night?"

"How did it go?"

"He says he's not mad and he's at my house getting his stuff today so I thought I'd keep away."

"It must be hard."

"Mhm."

"Sir your drinks."

"Fuck this guy is annoying but I've gotta go."

"Wait I've got something to ask you."

"What?"

"Actually it doesn't matter, travel safely baby."

"Well Courtney is driving so I can't promise anything."

I collected my drinks, smiled at Aaron before heading back to the hotel. 

I opened the door and immediately covered my eyes as best as I could. "Ew!" 

"Fuck." Courtney said. 

"Was this a plan to get me out of the way?" Willam laughed as he wrapped the bed covers around them both. 

"Maybe."

"Get some clothes on, Jesus."

Once they were both dressed we sat with out legs crossed on the floor. "So are you two a thing?"

"We've decided to give it a go."

"You don't mind do you?"

"Course not."

"Anyway you took your time getting these, the coffee place isn't that far."

"I was talking to Aaron."

"Ooh, I'm so happy you two are giving it another go."

"Are you really gonna take things slow though?" 

"Yes, I don't want to rush anything like before we literally met, I went back home, quit acting and moved in with him. I don't want to lose him again."

"Ugh just fuck and make up."

"Is that your answer for everything?"

"Pretty much."
