Fresh Start Fever

I attempted to open my eyes but the light shining in the window burned, really badly. I slapped my hands over my eyes and tried to sit up but someone was restricting my movements. I opened one eye slightly and looked next to me on the couch of Matts flat. Memories from the night before came flooding back into mind and I realised I was next to Oli. I decided to give him a bit of a chance but it might of been a mistake. "Who turned the light on" I heard him mumble and pulled me into his arms.

I raised an eyebrow as his actions seemed so forward for someone who avoided me for a year and a half. I turned to face him and watched his features. His lips twitched slightly and I had a small urge to kiss him. Suddenly his eyes flew open and furrowed his eyebrows. "Something wrong there Sykes?" I smirked at him. He shook his head no.

"When did this happen?" He asked, face thick with sleep.

"The fuck knows man" I sat up and untangled myself from him. I looked around the room. There was bottles, cups and food boxes everywhere. "Did a bomb go off or something?" I mumbled. I felt Oli sit up too and positioned himself so both his legs were on either side of me, I glanced behind me and seen his chest was almost against my back.

"Who knows" He said rubbing his eyes. I turned back to the mess and noticed Lee, Jordan and Matt lying around the room, Chloe must have gone home or already gotten up or something.

Oli wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closed til I was leaning against his chest. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Look I'm a complete twat and you know it, I can't deny it but I'm sorry. For everything I've ever done to you. Please forgive me" He whispered. I could feel his breath on my neck which made me a little nervous.

"No more chances" I sighed. "This is it" I nodded.

I turned my head to look at him. "Fresh start?" He asked.

"Fresh start" I smiled. He leaned in and kissed my head. I felt butterflies in my stomach and decided to stand up. When I did, I felt really dizzy. My head began spinning and I felt sick. "I'll be back in a minute" I mumbled and quickly walked away.

I walked to the bathroom and locked the door. I made it to the toilet bowl before emptying my stomach in there. I felt my body shake and the tears stream down my face. When I was done I flushed the toilet and stood up, looking in the mirror. My eyes widened in panic when I seen the blood on my lips. I quickly turned the tap on and cleaned my mouth out, making sure there was no blood.

When I left the bathroom I bumped into my brother. "Case, you look rough" He scratched his head.

"Thanks, I can really see why Stephanie puts up with you" I rolled my eyes. "Speaking of that bitch, where is she?" I asked.

"Balcony" He mumbled and walked away into the kitchen. I walked through the livingroom and out to the balcony.

"Steph, can we go home please?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her neck from behind.

"What's wrong?" She turned around and looked concerned.

"My tummy hurts" I told her, ignoring the fact that my head felt like it was about to explode.

"Aw, baby let's get you home but first" She pulled my arms down to my side and looked at me. "You and Oli were pretty snug last night after your duet with Jordan" She smirked.

"I don't even remember" I shrugged.

"Of course you don't" She sighed.

"Your point is?" I asked getting annoyed with her.

"Well, Matt just asked me to join him on their American tour and I don't want to leave you alone since, y'know you've been really ill recently" She bit her lip.

"I'm fine" I said quickly.

"But I want you to come. They'll pay you to do their photography and everything. Please come" She begged.

I looked away and bit my lip. "I'll think about it" I said to shut her up.

She grabbed my face and kissed my cheeks. "You're coming bitch and we're gonna make all those American boys weep" She pinched my cheeks.

"You're such a dork" I laughed. We decided to go back into the livingroom and tell everyone we were going home.
