*Alex POV*

I woke Saturday morning with a pounding headache. I tried to open my eyes but the bright light cascading in through the window only caused my headache to worsen. Eventually I braved the pain and opened my eyes, sitting up as gently as I could. I looked around the room spotting Annie still fast asleep in bed next to me. On the floor lay both our dresses where we'd just flung them last night while changing into our pyjamas. I stumbled out of my bed and started to search for my phone, finally finding it five minutes later among some clothes at the other side of the room. I flicked it open only to find it dead. I groaned and plugged it in to charge before heading for my en-suite bathroom. I gave myself the once over in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh at my appearance; I had never looked worse in my life. My hair looked as though it hadn't been brushed in about 6 months, I was still wearing last night's make up and was now sporting some less-than-attractive panda eyes. The only thing for it was a shower. I locked the door and turned on the water before stripping out of my pyjama shorts and tank top. I hopped into the shower and let the hot water trickle down me, relieving some of the killer hangover I was suffering from. 

Fifteen minutes later I emerged from the bathroom feeling slightly better than I had done before I went in. I towel dried and brushed my hair before putting it up into a messy bun. I changed back into my pyjamas ready to curl up in bed once again. I face planted onto the bed and pulled the covers up around me. Just as I was drifting off to sleep I heard a beep from my phone. Rolling over I reached for my phone and flipped it open. To my surprise I had 6 text messages and 3 missed calls. The missed calls were all from Trent from last night, along with 3 of the text messages. They had been when he and Annie  were looking for me. One of the messages was from Annie asking if I had seen Nate and sorted things out. I couldn't help but laugh at her attrocious drunken spelling. The remaining two messages; well they were from Nate himself. 

Suddenly, memories from the night before flooded my brain and I unconsciously put my hand to my swollen lips as I reminisced about the knee-buckling kisses we'd shared. I mentally shook myself, snapping out of my reverie and going back to the matter at hand; the text messages. One of the messages was from the previous night, from after I went to bed. 

'Goodnight Al, sleep well x' 

I couldn't help but smile at how cute he was. 

"Two guesses who that's from." 

I snapped my head to the side to see Annie smirking at me. 

"Shut up you!" I chastised. 

"Ooh is likkle Alex getting annoyed?" she teased. " I'm sure Nate will make it all better for you."

"ANNIE!!!"

"Okay, okay!" she said raising her hands defensively. "So are you going to tell me what happened last night then? Or am I going to have to beat it out of you?"

"I'll tell you!" I huffed, rolling my eyes. "As if you could beat me anyway!"

I relayed the story to Annie,as she sat there completely shocked. 

"So what you're telling me is that I have awful timing?" 

"Exactly! Like I mean AWFUL!" I complained. "But I have to thank you for distracting Trent, he can't find out yet. Especially when I don't even know what's going on!"
