Ellie's P.O.V

I wake up in the comfort of my own bed. I'm a little confused as to how I got here. I don't remember much after sharing a joint with Drew.

I know damn well I have work today, so I force myself out of bed. I hop into the shower to wash the smell of weed off of me. I doubt it's effective, but I try anyway.

Audrey texts me, informing me she's on the way. I put on light makeup and don't bother with my hair. The waves from last night are still there. 

Once I'm ready, I walk downstairs. Lily's sitting at the counter finishing up homework that's probably due today. When she sees me, she rolls her eyes.

Still mad about last night I guess. 

"What?" I ask anyway.

"You don't remember?" She scoffs. 

What is she talking about? 

Her eyes widen is realization. "Oh my gosh, you don't!"

Before she has time to explain, her ride beeps their horn outside. She packs up in a hurry and rushes out the door before saying goodbye.

What has her dumb sister done now?

Audrey texts me when she's here and I leave, grabbing a pop tart on the way out.

She smiles as I sit in her car. I toggle with the radio station, finding a good song.

"Hey, any chance you know what happened to me last night?" I ask curiously.

"Uh... what?" She asks. 

I explain, "I was faded. Have no memory of it at all. Lily was shocked that I don't remember, so I'm assuming it was something dramatic."

Audrey cringes. She knows something and is hiding it. 

Maybe I don't want to know.

She decides to shrug instead of admitting my faults.

What a bitch.

We arrive at the mall and walk in together in silence. She hugs me goodbye and tells me to let her know if I'll need a ride home. I'm confused as to why I wouldn't, but don't question it.

I clock in and go full work mode. I help customers and restock simultaneously. 

An hour passes when Drew comes in. He goes straight to the back office. I wait for him to come out. Maybe he can explain what happened.

He walks out again and my jaw drops. His nose is bruised and covered in bandages. "Drew!" I yelp. Once he's closer, I ask what happened.

"You don't remember?" He asks, offended.

Why does everyone remember what happened except me?

I shake my head. 

"Maybe it's for the better," he mutters. He looks over to me again with a pained expression. "I don't think we should see each other anymore."

"W-what?" I stammer, confused at this sudden outburst.

He gives a weak smile. "It'll just hurt to leave you when I find my real soulmate." He's lying through his teeth. Something happened last night that caused this.

Instead of explaining, he just works quietly. 

I don't want to fight him, but I stand there defeated.

"Friends, though. Or else it'll make work awkward." He jokes and playfully nudges me. 

I return the smile and absentmindedly fold clothes for the rest of my shift.

What did I do last night that was fucked up?!

I text Audrey when my shift is over and she asks if I'm sure that I need a ride.

Instead of texting back, I call. "Okay, I don't know what I did last night but I'm sorry if I offended you," I yell as soon as she picks up.

"OMG calm down. I'm not mad. Just thought you might get a ride with someone else. I'm heading over now." She explains. 

I'm relieved. I thank her and patiently wait outside Goodwill.

I scroll through my twitter as I wait. A message pops up on my phone.

H: We need to talk xx

Instead of waiting for him to text more, I call him. 

He seems caught off guard when he picks up. "Hello?"

"Don't 'hello' me. You can't just expect to text that and not have me freak out." I practically yell into the phone. People are staring at me as they pass by. 

I'm so confused. I don't have a clue what's going on and who's mad at me and who isn't.

"How are you feeling?" He asks, completely avoiding my irritation. 

Audrey starts walking towards me. I motion to my phone and begin walking with her. 

"What are you talking about?" I ask while walking. 

He chuckles. "You were pretty messed up last night."

"No fucking way," I yell and stop walking. "You too?"

He seems confused. Audrey pulls my arm to keep walking. 

"What do you mean?" He asks.

I groan. "Why does everyone remember what happened last night but me? You weren't even here yet you got word of it!"

He genuinely sounds relieved when I say that. Why?! What did I do?

"You seriously don't? At all?" He asks with amusement in his voice.

I'm about to chuck my phone on the floor. 

"Hey," I say sweetly. "I'm going to hang up before I kill you. Goodbye."

Audrey is staring at me in amusement, on the verge of laughing.

I need a drink.

Harry's P.O.V

I'm genuinely surprised Ellie doesn't remember a thing from last night. She doesn't even remember that I'm already back in the States. 

Really? 

I realize that I had texted her for a reason. I call her but hang up. This might be better in person.

The only way to handle this is with humor. 

I go to the nearest Publix. I remember her raving about their cakes and claiming it's the only cake she truly enjoys.

I ask the poor bakery lady to write something on a cake for me. She looks genuinely terrified but does as I ask. After all, it's her job.

I carefully bring the cake over to Ellie's house. Gosh, I hope she's home.

Lily opens the door for me again. 

"Is she..." I begin. She nods and opens the door wider. 

"EL YOUR BOYFRIEND IS HERE" She calls to her older sister. 

Quick footsteps thump downstairs. "Drew? But we aren't-" She stops in her tracks when she sees me. She immediately blushes and smacks her sister. "Shut up."

The 15-year-old rolls her eyes and goes upstairs. She was the one who let me in when I brought her sister home high as a horse. 

She may be a lot of things, but she's a good sister. 

I set the cake down on the coffee table and take El into my arms. She hugs me tightly and I do the same, smelling her hair.

Something switches in her and she lets go quickly. I raise my brow, confused.

"Why were you with one of your exes yesterday?" She frowns and crinkles form on her forehead. I kiss them away.

"I could ask you the same about your current boyfriend." I chuckle. "Babe, we had a deal."

Her frown returns. "I know," she says as she buries her head in my chest. "I was still sad." My chest tightens. 

That means she must care about me, right?

I hug her tightly and think about how I was too.

"Forget it, I got you a cake."

Her eyes light up when she sees the Publix cake. 

She takes it to the kitchen counter and opens it. 

'Sorry for breaking your boyfriend's nose' is what the cake read.

Her eyes go wide. Okay, maybe she didn't think it was funny...

"You did WHAT? When?" 

I think I just dug myself a grave.
