-Leikin POV-

I woke up slowly against the tree. I had the worst headache known to man. I sat up slowly to notice a pool of vomit by my foot. I groaned in disgust as I stood up slowly. God, I really did wish I did die last night. I might as well go home now. I took my phone out of my pocket to see a bunch of missed calls from mom,dad, Sam, Alli, Kat, And Alex. Each. Boy, I was in for it when I got home. I took out my make up mirror from my back pocket. I looked like shit. I couldn't go back like this. They'd know. I walked to the lake that was on the other side of the park and just cleaned myself off so I looked less hungover. I then walked to a cafe across the street and ordered some coffee. When it was ready, I took a seat and started to drink it. I needed to sort my life out. I couldn't keep going back to the park every time something bad happens so I can drink. I don't want a liver problem. I don't want to live with my problems either and that was my problem. I didn't know how to control myself when everything goes downhill and I needed to figure out how to before it was too late. I sighed and finished my coffee. I pulled out my make-up mirror again I looked less hungover I guess it was time to go back and take shit for leaving. I walked back home to see my mom, my dad, Kat, Alli, Alex, Sam, Nick, and two police officers there.

"No, I'm here! I'm here!" I exclaimed everyone turned to see me running over to the house. Relief washed over all their faces.

"See, mom, I told you she just wanted attention, that's all she wants." Nick said, turning to go back inside.

" Shut the fuck up, Nick! No one asked for your two cents!" I retorted.

"It's not my fault you're an attention whore, now is it?"

"You son of a bitch! I-"

"Alright! That's enough! Can we just be happy that Leikin's here and well?" Sam interjected. My parents didn't even try to stop it. Sam did and I knew they definitely sympathized Nick.

"Whatever," Nick stated going back inside the house. Sam, Kat, and Alex shot me a look of sympathy. Alli and my parents just looked disappointed.

"Où étiez-vous?" My mom asked.

"J'étais dans le parc, j'ai juste endormi. J'ai perdu la notion du temps. Désolé." I replied shakily.

"Combien de fois avons-nous dit de ne pas vous aller? Quelqu'un pourrait te prendre! Savez-vous comment effrayant que c'est?" My dad added.

"Je ne vais pas le refaire, je le promets. Je suis vraiment désolé." I replied. Alli, Sam, Alex, Kat, and the police officers just looked back and forth between us mainly because they had no clue what we were saying.

"Promesse?" My parents asked in unison.

"Qui." I replied. My parents turned to tell the police that everything was ok and it was alright to leave. Alli grabbed my hand and walked me to the backyard.

"What the fuck happened? You promised you wouldn't drink anymore."

"How did you kno-"

"How did I know that you are hungover? I've seen you like this so many times, Lei. I'm starting to think you might need to-"

"No! I don't need to get help or go to rehab, I just need some time to figure this out on my own."

"Fine, but don't expect me to stand by you while you ruin your life," Alli concluded storming out and getting into her car. I walked back to the front of the house.

"Alright, I have to get myself to band practice. I'm happy you're ok," Alex stated hugging me and leaving.

" I have to get back home, I'm still a bit sick," Kat sniffled "I'd hug you, but I don't wanna get you sick," she stated getting in her car and leaving.

"I have work,but if you need anything just call and don't worry about your brother too much, he's just being a dick. Give him some time to himself, ok?" Sam stated as she hugged me.

"Ok," I replied.

"Bye, love ya," She added also getting into her car.

"Bye," I replied

-Alex POV -

I got to Rian's house pretty late, but I was always late. On the way there I stopped to go to Cinnabon. I bought a Cinnabun, cinnasticks, and cookies and cream shake. I walked in with my Cinnabon bag in one hand and my shake in the other.

"Hey, " I said to Jack, Rian, and Zack who were sitting on the couch waiting for me for God knows how long.

"I'd ask you where you were, but I think the answer is evident," Rian stated gesturing to the bag.

"No, I swear it's not! Leikin went missing so I went to go see if she was ok. On the way here, I got Cinnabon."

"Is she ok?" Jack asked worried. It was no secret that he liked her. I nodded as I took a sip of my shake.

"Why you so worried?" Zack asked teasing him.

"Because she's my friend I-"

"Your friend that you wanna bang" I cut in.

"But I don't wanna bang her-"

"Please, she's gonna just end up like all the other girls, hungover,naked, and heartbroken" Rian added.

"Ok, that's just mean you know I'm not like that," Jack said defending himself to get a reply of eye-rolling, coughing and me sipping my shake. "Anymore."

"That's better," Rian corrected.

-Leikin POV -

I was sitting on my front porch just relaxing and clearing my mind but Alli's voice kept replaying in my mind. I felt bad for breaking my promise and making her mad at me, but the truth is, I don't think I could've stopped it. The truth is I didn't want to. Reality was too harsh for me.

"Hey, Lei," I heard Jack say. I looked up at him.

"Hey, Jack. Nick's inside," I mumbled assuming that he was here for Nick.

"Actually,I'm here to see you, I heard you went missing. What happened?" He asked sitting next to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"Nick and I got into an argument and I caved, now Alli's mad at me," I sighed.

"It's ok, I don't think she'd stay mad at you forever, she never does,"

"Thanks," I replied.

"Anytime, so how're you feeling, now?" He asked.

"Alright, I guess. I've just been thinking a lot lately," I replied. "It's good to have someone to talk to, though. It's always good to talk to you, Jack," I stated facing him.

"Thanks," he mumbled looking into my eyes. God, he did not know how he made me feel. My heart started to race just by staring into his eyes.

"I-" I was cut off by his lips pressing onto mine, I don't even know how to explain the feeling it gave me but it was amazing. He pulled back slowly resting his nose on mine.

"Uhm, I think I should- uh go say hi to Nick," he stated.

"Alright," I mumbled biting my lip. Really? That was it? This boy confused the hell out of me.
