I Won't Give Up On You! (Short Fanfic)

Chapter Five

Oli wakes up to a dark room and slight sniffling next to him. Worried, his head whips round to check on Lacey, only to find that she is sitting up, arms wrapped around her knees, her bare back facing him and very now and then a whimper escaping her lips.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Oli sits up and grasps her unresponsive body to his.

“You did it again! After you promised you would stop!” Lacey whimpers, as a silent tear rolls down her cheek. Oli stiffens in fear of being caught out by Lacey.

“I…I…I…” Oli stutters. “I don’t know what you mean?” He lies when what he really meant to do, is apologise.

“Don’t give me that bullshit!”  The very calm and laid back Lacey snaps at him for the first time ever. “I know you took Ketamine last night!” Lacey pauses, her eyes flickering in anger.

“You know why? Because once you calmed from your climax, you just collapsed on top of me grunting and moaning, eyes opened wide but unable to talk or move! Fuck Oli! It was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced! I thought your heart was going to stop!” Lacey yells, making Oli flinched. He has never seen Lacey this angry before.

“And when you came back around, you forgot everything! Where you were, who I am, what you were doing. Everything! Just gone!” Lacey growls. “Then you just passed out, leaving me terrified and unsure if you were going to make it through the night. I was just about to call an ambulance before you woke up!”

Lacey breaks into a heart wrenching sob, Oli immediately reach out to comfort her.

“DON”T!” Lacey warns, pointing a finger at him. “I’m so mad right now Oli, I think I need some space.” Lacey pulls a long top on. “I’m making you an appointment for the doctor first thing in the morning to make sure there is no long term damage.” She picks up her pillow and extra blanket on the end of their bed to go sleep on the couch down stairs, as they have drunk guest passed out in their spare room. Oli grabs her wrist before she gets too far.

“Baby! Please! Don’t be mad at me, I promise I will really stop!” Oli pleads.

“Oli, don’t you realise how much you are hurting me? How scared I am about your wellbeing? And it’s not just me; you are driving your parents, brother and band insane. You have become severely depressed, even though you already take a cocktail of anti-depressants. You are so forgetful lately, you have lost all motivation for the things you love and you have moment where you’re so despondent that create shit for everyone around you. I’m just so tired of this Oli, something has gotta give. Right now I just need time to think.” Lacey sighs and leaves the room for the couch, causing both of them in a lack of sleep for the remainder of the night.
