When I got back to the hotel, Lori headed for the room as I headed to the bar.

“Where are you going?” Lori asked
“Where does it look like I’m going?” I asked sarcastically, my eyes wet from crying.

All I wanted was to be able to forget everything that had just happened. The only way I knew of to do that was alcohol. 

I didn't usually drink a lot but today was the day when that's all I wanted to do. I just wanted today to erase itself.

I watched as Lori’s brain went through what could happen if she let me go in and drink myself to sleep. She just nodded and walked in with me.

We sat at the bar and talked for hours until we were slurring our words.

“You know what” I said
“What?” Lori replied
“Guys really suck”
“Yeah”
“Like, really suck”
“Yeah”
“And the only guys I actually like is Michael and Ashton and Calum but the rest of them can fuck off” my grammar slowly slipping as I got more and more drunk
“I like Michael”
“I know”
“I mean really like Michael”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“I think he likes you”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“You should call Luke”
“Why?”
“Because you need to tell him how you feel.”
“Then you need to call Michael”
“Why?”
"You need to tell him how you feel”
“Ok. If I call Michael, you will call Luke”
“Yes”
“You first”
“Ok”

I picked up my phone and started dialling Luke’s number. It just kept ringing and ringing.

“He’s not answering” I whispered. Then I heard his voice,

“Hi, this is Luke, sorry I missed your call. Leave me a message, thanks!” and there was a beep.

“Luke!” I yelled down the phone, louder than i meant to, “Luke, Luke, Luke. Lucas. Lucifer. Lukey. Oh why do you let her call you Lukey? That was my name for you and she took it. Like she took you. But I really hate you right now so I shouldn’t be saying this. I hate your stupid hair quiff that is always perfect, and I hate your stupid blue eyes and I hate your stupid height and I hate your stupid accent and your stupid foot thing and your stupid lip ring! Oh my god your stupid lip ring.

“But you don’t hate me. Why don’t you hate me Luke? I’m a bad person. I did bad things. I tried to steal you from your girlfriend. I yelled at her in the middle of a restaurant. I yelled at you. Why do you even want to be near me.

“The truth is, really Lukey, is that. When me and you were running from that police officer man. I though that you really liked me. As much as I liked you. Because you came back for me. I never thought you would come back for me but you did and I don’t understand why.

“I love you Luke. But I could never tell you that. Because you’re with her. Anyway. I’m going to leave now. I’m not going to see you again. She wouldn’t like that. And it hurts too much. Bye from Adi.” I put the phone down. I knew I was drunk and I felt it. I knew that a lot of what I had said didn’t make sense and it was so rushed I couldn’t quite remember it but a lot of it really was how I felt.

I wiped a tear from my cheek and sniffed. Lori hugged me.

“You have to call Michael now” I said, still crying.
“I will tomorrow” she said, “Let’s go to bed.”

We went up to our room and fell asleep in our beds.
