63. Hangovers In The Morning - ✭RAE✭

"Please tell me nothing happened between the two of you last night." I hear my brother's frantic voice say.

"Listen, she came here last night because her and Liam got into a big fight or something. She went out to a bar and didn't want to go home fucking trashed. But I swear nothing happened between us, Rhys, I promise. We just had a few more drinks, talked a bit, and then she fell asleep on the couch." I blink my tired eyes a few times feeling the hangover begin to set in as I listen to them.

"She fell asleep on the couch by herself or-"

"We didn't have sex, Rhys. I don't know what else you want me to tell you." Because Seth had fallen asleep behind me after I'd gotten the spins. He'd assured me the world was not tilting on it's axis until I'd passed out.

"Liam is a complete wreck thinking she's here with you, which she fucking is. You can't do this to her, Seth."

"I'm not doing anything to her, Rhys, she's a grown fucking woman. I didn't force her to come here." He tosses his arms up in irritation. "I didn't ask her to come here. She just showed up on her own volition."

"But surprise, here she is with you." I can practically feel the hardcore eye roll Rhys is doing.

"Rhys, stop." I called out from the couch which makes both of them turn to my comatose form. "I'm fine." Well, I'm not really but whatever. "Liam and I got into a fight, I was pissed, got way too shit-faced to go home, so I came here. Seth's telling you the truth. Nothing happened between us." Well, not that I can remember anyway.

Rhys walks into the space saying, "Raegan, what the hell is wrong with you?" He looks around the room, undoubtedly looking for some sign or giveaway that Seth and I had had sex. "You know this is the last place Liam would want you to be. He's going to be livid."

"You think I'm fucking stupid, Rhys?" I'm barely able to say the words. I feel like I'm going to spew my guts every-fucking-where. "I know but-" I gag on the vomit that builds up my throat feeling like a complete idiot for drinking so much.

"Rae, baby," Seth runs over to me and picks up my weak gagging frame to bring me to the bathroom. "It's okay, sweetheart. You're okay." And with those words I start spewing into the toilet relentlessly. "I've got you. I'll always have you." His words would make my heart ache if I wasn't vomiting right now and feeling like a complete fuck-up.

"Just innocent drinking, huh?" Rhys scoffs. "Jesus, Seth, really sounds like it."

"What're you even talking about?"

"Baby? Sweetheart?"

"Honestly, Rhys, shut the fuck up." Seth said the words angrily as he holds my hair back while I continuously throw up into the toilet. "Just get it all out of your system, Rae." He coos next to me, "I've got you. You're going to be alright." And I know I will because I'm here with him even though I know I shouldn't be.

"Thank you." I stated after I spilt the last of the contents out of my system. I look into the toilet bowl hoping it will consume me at this point because I'm so fucking embarrassed, well, embarrassed and ashamed. "Rhys, call Liam and tell him I was at Dad's house."

"I'm not going to lie to your husband, Raegan." He glares at me but I give him a pleading look.

"Rhys, please?" I'm barely able to choke out the words because my throat is so raw.

"Raegan, I can't do that."

"Don't be a fucking dick, Rhys." Seth grit out.

"Yeah, that's real rich coming from you, Seth."
