Fallout - A Van McCann fanfic

14. Drunken antics

I was startled what did he mean? I guess me and Van are becoming quite close but I don't know if there is anything more there than 'just friends'.

"What about me and Van?" I questioned back.

"Ah c'mon it's obvious. He's into you, you're into him. Just fuck already" Benji stated while laughing.

I just laughed out of awkwardness because I didn't know that's how people thought of us, right now I just think of us as friends. Good friends.

The rest of the ride was filled with laughter. Benji told me about this little gig they done in Manchester and Bob got pulled by a 57 year old barmaid.

We pulled up outside my house and Benji analysed it.

"Nice gaff" he blurted out and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You sure you don't want to come out with us later?" I asked stepping out the car.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I don't feel all that" Benji forced a smile.

"Alright, if there's anything you need don't call me because I'll be pissed and won't be able to help" I laughed.

"Alright mate. Have fun yeah" Benji started the engine.

"See ya" I waved him off until he turned the corner.

I opened the gate and made my way inside. I was surprised to find a note on the table beside the door it read:

"I've gone to London for the week"

That's it, obviously you can see how much my brother loves me.

I heard gentle purrs and found Toby rubbing around my legs. I lead him into the kitchen and gave him a fresh bowl of milk and biscuits before making my way upstairs.

I was doing my hair when I got a call from Van telling me he was on his way round with Bondy and that we was gonna get the train there because of the lack of parking spaces in that area.

Once I finished straightening my hair I looked through my wardrobe to find some shoes that would go with my dress. I decided to go classic - black heels. They went perfectly with my black fitted dress that had flecks of red through it.

*1 message from Van*
"We're outside. Ready when you are"

I grabbed a jacket because knowing the weather it would probably piss it down. I made my way downstairs and fed Toby quickly seeing as my parents weren't coming home tonight.

The buzzer kept bleeping indicating someone was outside the gate, I laughed knowing they were probably getting fed up waiting. I picked my bag up from the side and made my way out.

"Wooaaah who this?" Bondy wolf-whistled.

"Shut up" I slapped him and locked up behind me.

"You look nice" Van winked at me.

"Thanks you don't look too bad yourself" I winked back.

We walked to the train station which wasn't that far away and boarded the train.

We took a seat around a table, Bondy and Van sat next to each other while I sat on the other side opposite Bondy.

"So have you heard from Bob?" I asked wanting to know how his date was going. I think that Bob and Poppy would make a cute couple, they're very alike.

"Uh yeah, he didn't tell me much only that they got a steak and it was pretty good" Van laughed.

"Is that code for something or did they actually have good steak?" I asked in confusion.

"Who knows" Bondy said waving his hands about like a magician which made me laugh.

The journey was quick, we got off the train at 8 and made our way to the club to get Bondy some girls number...and to get smashed.

"Have you seen Van?" I slurred to Bondy who was hitting it off with the girl he came here for.

"Nah, I haven't. You should slow down mate" Bondy said loudly over the music.

I shrugged and walked away into a crowd of people trying to find Van.

"Oh shit sorry" I apologised for bumping into a guy and spilling his drink down him.

"It's alright beautiful, you can help me clean up" he grinned and took hold of my waist.

"Nah, your alright lad. I'm gonna go over there" I pointed and moved to try and get out of his grip but I couldn't.

"Shh, it's alright babe. I'm not gonna hurt you" the guy whispered in my ear sending chills down my back, I needed to get away from him.

"Oi get off her" I heard a familiar voice but could think of who it was, I haven't heard that voice in ages.

"It's alright mate were just talking" the guy said with a firm grip around my waist.

I cocked my head and saw long hair, but no face. My vision was getting blurry but I was still aware of what was happening.

"Your not just talking, get your fucking hands off her" I heard and then a crack shortly after.

There was no hands on my waist anymore. The guy was laid on the floor with a broken bloody nose.

I turned around to see who helped me and saw a short, long haired guy with a bandana wrapped around his head.

"I - I know you" I hiccuped, trying to figure out who he was.

"Yeah Caitlin, Larry remember" He smiled sweetly.

"OMG Larry!!" I gave him a hug, I didn't really know how I knew him but I have defiantly had a few conversations with this guy before.

"Let me get you a drink" Larry lead me over to the bar and just got some shots.

I downed two and I couldn't help but stare at Larry. He was cute, he's not a stranger even though I can't figure out how I know him. He probably lives in near me. He noticed me staring and shot a cheeky grin at me. I don't know what came over me but I leaped on him and started smashing my lips onto his, he kissed back and his hands started to travel down to my arse.

"Caitlin" I was thrown back by the sound of Van's voice. He looked at me and then at Larry.

"Larry?" Van questioned but spat in disgust.

And then it hit me,  I remembered how I know Larry.
