Gone

Chapter 11- One of Her Firsts

Adeliah’s POV

Cups after cups, I began to see stars around me. God, I saw the whole Milky Way.

“Are you sure you want to do more, Adeliah? You look like you’re going to faint in 3 minutes.”

“No… Not, until I win…” My voice spurred.

“Well, then.” Roe threw a Ping-Pong ball and she missed.

I laughed. I held my hand up, everything was getting blurry, I couldn’t see straight.

And then everything went black.

Harry’s POV

I was in the loo, until I heard a thump from the kitchen. The kitchen, where Ade and Roe were playing beer pong. My eyes widened when I saw Ade on the ground, unconscious.

“Your girlfriend did too much. I’ve warned her.” Roe said.

“God, Adeliah.” I muttered.

I have two options, either bring her home to Mrs. Fabre, which I think wouldn’t end very well. Or, I could bring her back to mine. My mum and Robin’s not home, Gemma’s probably partying somewhere, and Ade could sleep in my room. I’ll probably sleep on the couch.

“Let’s get you home, Ade.” I said, shaking my head. I knew she would do anything to win, she’s the competitive type.

I picked her up, when I was at the door, Niall called. “Home so early?”

“She’s knocked out.” I replied.

Niall laughed. “Night, mate!”

“Goodbye.”

I put her down on the front seat, and strapped her with the seatbelt. I got into the driver seat and began to drive.

*At Harry’s flat*

She’s now tucked into my bed. She looked so beautiful when she’s asleep. I gave her a kiss on the lips, which taste like some kind of cheap liquor. She moved around a bit, and cocooned even more into the blanket.

“Goodnight beautiful.” I whispered.

Then, I went downstairs and laid out the extra blanket and pillows that I found in Gemma’s room on the couch.

I wanted to sleep with Ade, but she’s drunk. She won’t remember anything and she’d misunderstand. Although my body was longing for her touch, I curled into the blanket and drifted off.

I woke up in the morning, feeling a bit hazy from all the alcohol last night. I wonder how Ade would feel after drinking like, 7 cups. I went upstairs to check on Ade, she was not up yet. I decided to let her sleep in.

“Harry, is there a reason why Adeliah is sleeping in your room?” Gemma asked.

“Erm… We went to a party last night and she got drunk. I decided to let her stay here and I slept on the couch last night. Don’t worry.” I said.

“Alright. Mum and Robin are out somewhere, they won’t be back until the afternoon.” She told me.

“Okay,” I saw Gemma was making pancakes, so I offered her help, “Can I help you to cook breakfast?”

“Sure.” She nodded and smiled.

Adeliah’s POV

I woke up, realizing I was in a strange bed. I saw a Rolling Stone poster and I knew I was in Harry’s room. Wait, did he sleep with me last night? Worst, did we… Did we do that last night? No, Harry wouldn’t do that.
