Cheryl's P.O.V

Uuuuurgh....

My eyes are still closed but my head is absolutely throbbing.

I can't remember a single thing from last night; apart from the fact the girls threw me a surprise party in a five star hotel.

The room is silent and probably in darkness since I don't see any light reflecting on my eyelids.

After a few more minutes of not moving, in the hope it will ease my headache; I eventually open my eyes and force myself to sit up.

I was right about the room being dark. The heavy curtains are closed and I look at the clock, reading 10:38.

Groaning to myself, I go to fall back on the bed, but I realise that the other side of the bed has been slept in. I glance down at myself. My bottoms are barely on and my bra is the only sort of cover for my torso.

Oh god. I couldn't have brought someone back up to the room could I? I would never do that to my Kimba...

But she left me and isn't coming back. I just wanted to try and forget about her for a night, but maybe the heavy amount of alcohol wasn't working, so I went a step further.

Then again, the girls don't know she has left me yet, and they would never let me hurt their friend.
The girls!
It was probably one of the girls that stayed in here with me. Not wanting to leave me alone in my drunken state.

I hear the toilet flush in the en suite and suddenly hold my breath, staring at the door across the room, anxious about who is going to emerge.

I hear water stop running then silence... before the door creaks open to reveal...
Kimberley?

My stomach drops and I suddenly wish I had brought a stranger back last night.

'Hey sleepy' she smiles when she sees me sat up in bed.

'Wh...' I pause looking around the room, beyond confused. 'What are you doing here?'

'I guess I should have expected you to forget' she laughs. God I've missed that musical laugh.

'We managed to finish our schedule earlier. One of our appearances was cancelled and another was moved ahead, so I came back yesterday for your party' she explains, '...we did surprise you, but I guess you forgot.'

'But why would you come home for me?' I ask and her brow furrows, 'actually, where even is your home now Kimberley?'

'W-what do you mean?' she looks a little anxious as I jump out of bed after spotting my shirt on the floor.

'Well considering how things ended the other day, I'd assume you're now living with your new boyfriend' I snap pulling my top over my head, my anger has built surprisingly quickly, 'Oh no sorry... He isn't new is he! You've been with him for two years!'

'Cheryl, what the hell are you talking about?!' she looks offended and alarmed by my comments.

'Don't play dumb Kimberley! What are you doing back here?! Did your fella leave you so you've come back acting like nothing has happened, hoping I'll understand and take you back?!'

She looks pretty distressed at my words, but I don't believe any of it.

'Are you wearing another fake pregnancy bump?' I ask, taking in the sudden growth of her belly and glaring at her, 'you have the fucking cheek to try and trick me again?!'

'What has gotten into you?' she asks, her eyes brimming with tears, 'Your saying this baby is not real?'

'Do you really think I am that stupid?!' I scream, 'Baby bumps do NOT grow that much within four days Kimberley!'

'Four days? I haven't seen you properly for two months... have you hit your head or something?!'

'NO!'

'Then what are you going on about?'

I can see she is desperately trying to understand, but I can see right through her pathetic little act. I reach for a glass of water that I see on the side table.

'I told you to stop playing dumb Kimberley!' I scream.

I launch the glass at her in rage, actually hoping to hurt her. The glass smashes and her scream sounds around the room.
