We reach my house and Nathan stirs awake at that exact moment, still groggy.

"Ugh, I feel like shit!" he moans, leaning on me when I help him out of the car.

"That's what you get for doing weed," I mumble, supporting his weight.

Everyone is waiting outside.

"Fucking hell Summers, what did I tell you about drinking?!" Max snaps, eyeing Nathan's delirious state.

"I promise you we will win tomorrow okay? If we lose, I will do anything you say Maxie!" He giggles, pulling Max's cheeks. Bella laughs.

Daniel is carrying Raven who is passed out, looking impatiently at me to open the door.

Max, Bella, Luke and Alex leave for their respective homes. Apparently their parents had told them to come home, no matter how late. Thankfully they were all sober.

Everyone else follows me inside, Nathan woozily holding onto me. I take him upstairs and make him sit in my room.

"Wait here. Don't fucking move okay?" I warn Nathan. He hiccups but nods, sending me two thumbs up.

I go to the others. Daniel puts Raven in my parent's bed and I lock the door to the room. Ryan, Daniel, Aaron go to the guest room. I bid them a goodnight.

"About time!" Nathan laughs, sprawled  upside down on my bed. "Where were you?"

"Managing my guests."

"I need to change... clothes," he says. He stumbles into my closet. I follow, not trusting him to stay steady.

"I would sell my soul to have this house!" he laughs.

It's amusing seeing him this wasted. I know he's going to have a horrid hangover tomorrow. I watch him struggle with the door and shake my head.

I slide the door open and he whistles.

"Oh, so that's how you do it! Fancy doors!"

He pats them like a dog. I laugh and hand him his earlier clothes on a hanger before turning on the shower. He happily thanks me. I keep the bathroom door open, for fear of him falling or damaging something.

I swear I didn't peek!

Soon, we're both showered and changed.

"Ah, bed!" he laughs, falling face first on my duvet. "It's so soft, I feel like a princess! If you die, leave this bed in your will for me, okay Kai-Pie?"

I laugh, falling into bed as well.

"You dumbass, gave me a scare. Who told you to wander around the streets?"

"I was running!" He giggles like a kid, sliding a finger down my nose. I scoot away immediately, feeling sparks run down my spine.

Fuck, Nathan don't do that.

"Running from?"

"Everything," he whispers, turning away. "Myself, my life, Bella."

"Bella?!"

"I was terrified she would tell everyone so I ran. It was a stupid mistake!"

"Tell everyone what?" I press.

I hate that I'm taking advantage of his drunk state to get information about him but if he's sober, all I'm going to get are a bunch of lies.

"I can't go through that pain again," he says, confusing me even more.
