Adopted By The Sidemen

|Chapter 40|Party Planning|

The Next Day-Scarlett's POV

I woke up at about 9 the next day, I was worn out to say the least, we both fell asleep at about 3 after a lot of, fun. He had been genuinely so gentle yet so rough at the same time, he made sure I was OK throughout the whole thing, and surprisingly I was. I was expecting to be a little more reluctant about the whole thing, but once we got started, I realised so quickly that I'd be ok. I rolled over and faced him and a smile came to my face faster than one ever has. And it wasn't just because of last night, but because the man I was staring at was mine, and I was his. He made me happier than I ever have been, and after how horrible the last two years had been, he really was the light in my darkness. He was my complete lifeline, and I dont know what I'd do without him. "Stop staring and come cuddle," He said in his cute morning voice, I smiled again and shuffled closer to him, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, and I dozed back off in his arms.

Two hours later
I jumped up at the sound of my bedroom door slamming open, Ethan stirred and sat up too. "WAKE UP, WE'RE THROWING A PARTY!", JJ, of course,
"JJ it's like 10 am what do you mean," I asked confused,
"Actually, it's 11, so get the fuck out of bed, both of you, and go get some drinks, the parties not till at least 5,"
I huffed and laid back down, or at least tried to, because I hit my head off my wall, Ethan and JJ looked at each other and started pissing themselves, whilst I sat there holding my head, because it hurt like a bitch. "Awh yeah it's sound guys," I said with a slight laugh, then hit Ethan round the back of his head. His hand shot up to his head as JJ started to laugh even more,

"Well what was that for?" He glared at me playfully,

"For laughing at me you nob," I laughed, he rolled over and pinned my arms down to the bed and kissed me. I smiled into it and kissed him back, he pulled away and let me go, climbing off me.
"Better now?"
"Yes thanks," I felt my cheeks go pink as I realised JJ was still stood in the room, and then very quickly also realised I was naked and pulled the sheets as close to me as I could, my eyes went wide as I looked at Ethan, who was now stood up in just his boxers.
"What?" He asked,
"I'm naked," I whispered and blushed even more,
"Oh shit yeah, uhm JJ mate, could you maybe leave for a bit, we'll go shops when we've got ready,"
"Er yeah mate sure, just get whatever yeah,"
"Yeah that's fine,"
"Take the sidemen credit card as well," He said as he walked out. I looked back up at Ethan and started giggling, he smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead.
"I'm gunna go get a shower and then we'll get ready," And before I even gave it a second thought my mouth sputtered out the words,
"Can I join?" He looked shocked at first, but then smiled,
"Of course you can,"
At the shop

"What are we grabbing again?" I asked,

"Just drinks I think,"

"Oki doki, what do you fancy?"

"I don't really know to be honest, we'll get a bit for everyone, a few boxes of cider for Simon and whoever else, few bottles of grey goose or something for Harry, few bottles of sambuca for us all to share and do shots, some prosecco and whatever else, oooo, some Malibu for Josh, few bottles of gin im sure Vik will have, ill get some beer or something, few bottles of vodka for good luck, JJ will probably hire a mixologist thingy so we don't need to worry too much about variety, maybe some pepsi and coke and shit but I think we'll be okay with just that,"

I laughed, "Yeah we'll be fine,"

"Do you want anything?"

"Well, since you're offering, uhm, can you get me some strawberry daiquiri, some of those frozen mojito things and a few monsters to mix with some vodka,"

"Sounds like a plan to me,"

"Same here,"

"Are you sure you'll be ok tonight?"

"Yeah, I know I don't exactly have the best track record with parties, but as long as no one pulls anything stupid I'm sure I'll be fine,"

"Only if you're sure,"

"Yeah of course I am,"

"Okay then," He leaned in and kissed my forehead,

"Awhhh, you're so cute," I pulled him into a hug,

"I know," He said with a laugh.

Back at the house

When we got back all the lads were there, good thing too because we definitely needed the upper body strength, I was getting better, but holding anything that weighed more than a bottle of milk felt like it might rip my arms off. Which was why I knew it was a bad idea to insist that I helped, the first two bags were a struggle but I managed to get it done, but when I tried to carry in the boxes, that's where it all went wrong.

"Ethan I'm literally fine you don't need to worry, I've got this,"

"I just don't want you pushing yourself,"

"I may be weak, but I'm not that week," I leaned back out the boot and instantly felt myself go lightheaded, but I knew it'd pass.

"Okay, just give me a shout if you need me," Because there was so many cars at the house the drive way was full and we had to park right near the bottom to get to the front door. I started walking towards the door ignoring the dizziness my head was going through. I took it slow, but even still the dizziness just got worse, I knew I should have shouted for Ethan but I just wanted to make it to the door, as I was about 5 metres away, and beginning to see spots, the door swung open and out came Tobi,

"I thought you might want a hand," He said as he came and took a box from under my arm, I nodded my head and handed him the other box, "You feeling okay?" He asked,

"Yeah I just got a bit dizzy that's all," In reality my head was still spinning and I felt like I was going to throw up all over.

The next thing I knew I was falling to the ground, my vision black.

2 Hours Later

I woke up in my bed, confused to say the least, how did carrying a few heavy things do that to me? I rolled over and climbed out of bed to go see if I could find someone. My memory was a bit hazy but I still knew what'd happened. I opened my bedroom door and the smell of food hit me round the face, it turned my stomach to even think about eating, I slowly made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen to see Vik stood in there, "Hi there sleeping beauty," He joked,

"Oh hush you," I said and laughed, "Can I grab some water?"

"You don't need to ask, you do live here,"

"I know, but still,"

"Well of course you can," He said with a smile,

"Wheres Ethan?" I asked, his expression dropped for a second, but he quickly regained his composure, weird, "He's in the sitting room I think,"

"Ok, thanks," I walked out with my water and headed straight to the living room, the door was slightly cracked open, and I could see Ethan and Josh were sat inside,

"I have to do it," Ethan said,

"No you don't, why do you have to?"

"Yes I do Josh you don't understand, I can't stay together with her, not now, it's all so complicated," My heart sank to my feet,

"I don't understand because you won't explain it to me," Josh sounded angry,

"It's none of your business in the first place Josh, you may have adopted her, that does not make you her dad in anyway, shape or form,"

"Even if I'm not biologically her dad, I'm still her legal guardian, her carer, I love her to pieces Ethan, so if you break her heart, you're breaking the bond that me and you have as friends, I'm sorry but I have priorities now, and she's my main one, I don't want to see her go through anymore hurt then she has ever again, she's gone through enough for 10 lifetimes, so please don't put her through anymore,"

"I really don't want to either Josh, but I just don't love her like that anymore," And with that my glass fell to the floor, shattering into a million pieces, just like my heart had been over and over again.
