// CHAPTER ELEVEN:: support //

IT felt like last night was just to dream to Audrey. She felt like the parents of West Ham being gone was just a morbid dream. She believed that Harry being mad at her last night never happened and that he would greet her today like always, letting things just go back to normal.

She sat up in her bed and looked around to see the sun rising, it's light shining through her room before she stood up. She put her hair in a sloppy bun seeing as her curls frizzed up and stepped out her room, taking her phone with her, "Mom?"

She had to make sure that it was a dream- all in her imagination and that her mom was in the kitchen brewing a cup of coffee. She didn't want to fall asleep last night, thinking that her mother would walk in her room at any moment, but with her being awake, she thought of Harry and his words.

Audrey believed that Harry had every right to be mad at her because she didn't want to express her longing feelings for him. Though, when she was beginning to dig a mental grave for herself, she chose to turn over in her bed and go to bed, pushing Harry to the back of her mind.

"Mom?" She called out again, her hope straining little by little as she walked into an empty kitchen. She groaned a little to herself before she got a call from Cassandra, "Hello?"

"Hey, you think you could make it to the church? It's kind of important." Cassandra asked and Audrey agreed to coming before she hung up. She then rushed to her room to change into some decent clothes before going back downstairs. She looked out her window to see her mother's car still parked in front, so she took the keys that laid out by the door and left the house.

She drove quickly to the church, only to everyone hungover and tired, except for Cassandra, who Audrey quickly walked up to, "What's the big emergency?"

"Well, apparently we're stuck in another universe where we can't call nobody but each other," Cassandra summed up for her.

"Absolutely no one?" Audrey asked.

"You can try ghostbusters," Harry sarcastically inputted and Audrey turned to see that he was exhausted and hungover from the party they had last night, "Maybe they might pick up."

"I'll get a car and go to Greenwich to get help." Cassandra offered.

"Why you?" Harry wondered and Cassandra glanced back at him.

"Someone has to find out where everyone went," She explained, "We all can't go."

"I'll do it," He stated and Audrey eyed him, noticing his stained shirt and bags that rested under his eyes, along with his nest of hair.

"Are you even sober?" She asked and he met her eyes with a stone cold look.

"Fuck you, Audrey." He coldly told her, having Audrey feel like her body would shut down as he spewed his words and his eyes glowered at her. He then turned Luke, ignoring Audrey who eyed him in shock for a moment before looking away, feeling eyes on her, "Luke, you want to see if we can get some of the guys to come with?"

Luke agreed and stood up, helping Harry up before they walked off. They brushed past Audrey and Cassandra, not even looking back, though Audrey wasn't looking anyways. Cassandra eyed her though, "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah," Audrey sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Yeah, I'm okay."

"It's just because I know this isn't easy on you," Cassandra continued, "You just got out of rehab and-"

"I'm alright," Audrey interrupted and met her eyes, "I just don't need whatever this is right now, okay?"

Cassandra reluctantly nodded and turned back to look inside the church as Audrey now has the thought in her head. She had no way to keep herself sober; she had no one to go to besides reckless teenagers and substances that could cause her to fall back into old habits.
