Boxing day?

Ouch. My eyes stung like a...eugh. Oh I forgot about the fact I was handcuffed to a bed and I had no idea where the keys were. Id shout jack in but williams asleep, I'll leave it for a bit. He looks adorable. I sat up slightly and was greeted by a sharp, splitting pain in my head. I lost focus for a moment and started breathing heavily. So thats a hang over. I laid back down, my movement woke William who squinted at me for a brief second before rubbing his eye

'morning...Last night was....eventful' he groaned and put his free arm over me loosely

'we were just drunk and hormonal....I was doubly drunk and hormonal...'

'can't believe I made you cry'

'I can't believe I started to cry! Embarrassment much?!' I laughed and smiled at William cutely 'it was a pretty brilliant night to be honest....jacks gunna flip when he sees...this!' I shook my wrist to make the handcuffs scratch against the bars

'so what do you lot do for boxing day?!' William muttered whilst stretching and putting his face in the pillow

'um...I don't know what that is but I'm sure we could spend it by trying to stick your gravity defying hair down' I poked Williams hair which was stuck up wildly

'it's well bad...haven't had a shower in ages though!'

'we have a shower...but no heating...so you'll be showering in ice...whats boxing day then William?'

'um...to be honest I have no idea...it's just time to chill out and eat leftovers'

'so nothing to do with hitting people?'

'nope...maybe...I have no idea lorns'

'oh thank god! So your not deaf after all!' I announced as jack wandered through the doorway quietly

'what....oh you want the keys or a camera?' he mumbled watching us plainly

'jack! It's not what you think....but eww no! To the camera, we need the keys'

'hey jack it wasn't anything dodgy mate, we just had a lot to drink' William confessed watching as jack walked out, hopefully to get the keys. My arm was becoming numb and I was quite hungry.

'maybe a day chilling with jack wouldn't be so bad' William suggested

'well...we do have a lot to talk about....what will you do?'

'I'm gunna chill and make something nice out of the left overs, you can take jack out and clear the air between the two of you....' William paused and sat up 'oi! Jack you berk! What you playing about at?! I'm famished!'

There wasn't much snow. It had been scooped away by the snow plows. I was admiring the snow which was falling gracefully, trying to concentrate on that rather than the topics jack had for us to discuss.

'what time even is it?! It's getting dark...did me and William....when did you unlock us?' I questioned, looking up at jack innocently

'2....it's half 4 now'

'wow....so what do you wanna do?'

'nothing with you....' jack muttered, I looked down but followed him at a quick pace because jack was making no effort to slow down for me

'fine I'm going home!' I screamed, a little over dramatic to be honest, it was totally out of the blue to jack though, he spun around quickly looking quite shocked. People walked past and glanced at the little scene I had created. I froze up, oh lord why did I have to be so shy.

'what the fuck lorna?! Just go!'

'fine! Fuck you! I'm going home, back to my mom!'

'no! No lorna!'
