An Alternate Ending

“Casey you’re drunk” I heard my brother tell me for what felt like the hundredth time. I didn’t care how drunk I was, they couldn’t make me go back to my own room to be all alone.

“Please just one more song” I begged. They were getting tired, I could tell but once I left things would have to go back to normal. Back to Sheffield in my new flat and feel sorry for myself.

“Casey it’s almost 3am” Matt moaned at me. “we just played at massive show” He whined at me.

“And I came all the way from Australia for this” I giggled. I fell off the couch, Matt and Oli both picked me up. Amanda huffed really loudly. “Someone shut this bitch up or I’ll have to cut her” I groaned.

“Don’t call me a bitch” She snarled at me. I looked over at her and rolled my eyes.

“Whore” I let slip. I clamped my hand over my mouth and watched as she came over to me. Oli and Matt both stood in front of me as Amanda tried attack me.

“Don’t even think about touching my sister” Matt said to Amanda sternly. She looked at Oli with anger.

“Are you really going to let her be this much of a bitch to me?” She asked Oli. He didn’t answer.

“Come on Case, let’s get you back to your hotel room” He mumbled. I didn’t say anything as he guided me out of the room. “What room are you staying in?” He asked.

“405“ I told him. He nodded and led me towards the elevator. I felt a little awkward after the encounter we had just under an hour ago. It ended quicker than it began to my distaste. I wanted him all to myself for some reason, this isn’t even like me.
“Oli?” I asked. He looked down at me waiting for me to speak. “Do you love her?” I asked him.

He looked down at his feet and sighed. “A little bit, but she isn’t you” He said softly.

“What do you mean?” I moved closer to him. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me in.

“She filled a gap, kept me content but if I’m completely honest I haven’t been happy with her in a long, long time” He leaned in and kissed me quickly. “I want to be with you Casey” He said against my lips. I felt my heart race again, I wanted to rip him apart right now, devor him. He was everything I ever wanted and right now, he was making me want him even more than ever.

“Oli stay with me tonight” I begged. He looked at me with sorrow.

“You know I can’t” He said sadly. I felt my heart breaking a little.

“Why?” I asked him.

“I can’t do that to Amanda... even though I don’t really want to be with her, I can’t completely break her heart like that” He sighed. The elevator doors opened and we began walking out. I was a bit wobbly on my feet, which made Oli laugh. “You’re so bloody drunk” We stopped at my door and then looked at me. “Key card?” He asked.

I rummaged in my bag and pulled out the card. I handed it to him and he opened my door. “Thanks” I said to him as he guided me into my room. I stumbled over to my bed and laid down. Oli looked me over and sighed loudly.

“Casey do you have anything to put on for going to sleep?” He asked nervously. I picked myself up and pointed at my bag.

“I have a vest and shorts in there” I mumbled. He looked at me for a minute and realised I wanted him to go and get me it. He walked over and pulled them out, I couldn’t stop smiling because the idea of getting out of my dress felt amazing.

I took the clothes from Oli and stood up. I turned around and pointed to the zip of my dress, where Oli pulled it down for me. I kept facing away from him and pulled the dress down to my waist, sliding the vest over my body. As I did that I pulled the shorts up my body and under my dress then pulled it down and kicked it off. “You okay now?” Oli asked as I turned to him. I looked up and nodded. “You’ve got a shit load of tattoos now Case” He grinned at me.

“I got addicted to them” I laughed. He nodded in agreement.

“You suit them” He smiled. I pulled the covers back and climbed into the bed. Oli tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

“Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?” He sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled.

“Of course” He grabbed my hand and kissed it.

I closed my eyes and let the sleep begin to take over my body. “One day, I’m gonna make you mine” I heard him say before I fell into slumber.

I rushed around, I hated being late for anything; especially flights since you’re screwed if you miss it. But it looked so much like I was going to miss my flight. I slept in so much and my hangover was awful. My bag was packed and I left the room, going up to see my brothers room. I knocked on the door and waited for his response. The door opened and he smiled at me. “I’ll never get bored of seeing you” He said letting me in.

“Goodmorning to you too brother” I said walking into his hotel room. “How are you getting back to Sheffield?” I asked. He looked at me for a minute and laughed.

“Did you miss your flight?” He grinned. Maybe he knew how bad my hangover would be, but he didn’t stop me from drinking did he?

“No I could still make it if I rushed but I kinda wanted to see what you’re doing” I tried to cover up my stupid drunken mistakes but he clearly seen right through that.

“Oli is driving me and Jordan home. You’re welcome to join us” He suggested. I nodded in response. “Don’t worry though, Amanda is staying here so you don’t have to have an awkward 4 hour drive with her” He laughed.

I felt a sigh of relief. “Where is Oli?” I asked. He gave me a funny look.

“Probably breaking up with Amanda right now” He shrugged. I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

“Why would he break up with her?” I was confused.

“Seriously?” He cocked his head to the side. “Yeah don’t act oblivious to the fact that since you’ve got here he’s been waiting for the chance to grab ya. He is madly in love with you Casey” He laughed and walked away.

Maybe he is breaking up with Amanda. I couldn’t help but crack a smile, my mind was racing and I decided to get Oli’s phone number from Matt’s phone.

‘Hey it’s Casey’ I text him, waiting for his reply.

‘Meet me at my room in 5‘ He replied. I smiled and put my phone away, counting the minutes in my head. After I got to five I left my bag in Matt’s room and then walked down the hallway to Oli’s room.

I knocked on the door and it opened within seconds. Oli stood there for a second and then pulled me into his room. I was shocked at his sudden actions, he shut the door then pinned me up against it. I waited for him to react but nothing came. He just stared into my eyes. “I love you” He mumbled, then began kissing my neck and jawline.

I couldn’t form the words, he was distracting me. “I love you too” I whispered into his hair. He stopped kissing me and put his hands on the back of my head.

“I got rid of her Casey, I ended it” He smiled at me. I couldn’t believe it... I was back 2 days and he’s ended his relationship for me. “I want to be with you” He said softly, pushing hair out of my face.

“I want to be with you too” I said as I pulled him in for a kiss.
