right after hanging up, i went to callum to tell him i'd be leaving
"don't go so soon y/n" he pleaded, audibly slurring his words
"i have to! i've got things to do tomorrow" i replied- thinking about how i wanted to know how kelly's conversation with max went as it was a pretty big part in all of our lives
"come on- just stay for another drink" he insisted and i laughed and gave in
"alright- i'll have one shot and then i'm going"
"together on three" callum announced- it was just us in a booth at the front of the bar. we drank the shots and laughed together. i could feel myself losing control as my brain dissociated with my body even further, and before i knew it i was making out with callum. i didnt realise how close to eachother we had sat but snapping back into reality was so hard as i just felt so floppy and uncontrollable.
i can't rember how long we kissed for, but i remember looking up to see a distraught toto through the window.
"fuck" i got up immediately and left the bar. callum was passed out on the table
"wait!" i shouted at toto, who had turned around and started walking back to his car
"it's not what you think" i started crying
"just shut up and get in the car" toto snapped "i'll drive you home, just don't say anything" he added quietly.
snivelling, i climbed into the passenger seat and leaned my head against the window. i looked at him with my tear streamed face but he made no eye contact, and after a short while the alcohol mixed with my devastation had me passed out in silence.

max opened the door and carried me out of the car. from the little bits i remember while being half asleep , i remember max apologising to toto and kelly coming over to thank him.

the next morning was agonisingly painful. i woke up on the sofa, hearing voices in the kitchen.
i got up slowly- holding my head in pain from the hangover, and walked in to see max and kelly's faces turn in unison , staring me in the face.
"morning sunshine!" max smiled "don't you just look fresh as a daisy"
"arrrgh don't even-" i groaned, heading to the cupboard for some paracetamol
"that was quite the entrance you made last night" kelly began "calling your boss to pick you up drunk? you've got balls"
"oh fuck please tell me that was a dream"
"nope- all a little too real for our liking. are you ok?"
"yeah i'm ok, just hungover and exhausted. i think i made a few bad decisions last night"
"it's fine y/n, we all make these mistakes when we're young" max said "it's part of growing up"
"yeah well mine are gonna take a while to fix" i sighed

"anyway" i gave kelly a look "have you..."
"i said yes" max said with the biggest smile on his face
"yay! " i screamed, and we all had a group hug
"so you guys are like my mum and dad now" i smiled "though it's not as if max hasn't moved in already" i teased "i did find your socks behind the couch, and your favourite weirdo health yoghurts are always stacked up in the fridge"
"oh shut up" he replied "it's the fact that it's official that counts" he and kelly looked at each other lovingly
"ew gross" i commented "i'm outta here"

i went back to my room and checked my phone. i had a text from callum
it read: "hey y/n, last night was cool, we should do it again sometime ;)"
ew, i thought. how could i have been so reckless. its stupid decisions like these that leave me in these awful situations. i decided to ignore the text and began crafting one to send to toto
"hey, it's y/n, thank you so much for driving me home safe yesterday- i'm sorry you had to see that thing with callum, i was blackout drunk i never meant to do that. please call me when you see this"
i sent the message, knowing full well he would not respond
