What to do with the drunk
*Amber*
She tried waking him, but he was out cold, and as he stank of whiskey, she was pretty sure he was drunk out of his mind, what was she to do ? She definitely didn't want him there.
She pulled out her phone and called Ben, she didn't know what else to do. He picked up at first ring. "Amber is something wrong ?"
"Well kind of.. I just came home to find a very drunk Tom sleeping in my bed. I can't wake him up, can you please help me ?" She knew they weren't talking, but she hoped Ben would do it for her.
She could her him sigh in the other end. "I'll be there in 10 minutes sweetie, then I get him out of there for you".
"Thank you Ben, see you". She hang up, and sat down to wait for Ben to arrive.
She couldn't help watching Tom.. he didn't look like himself. He had lost weight. He looked like he hadn't shaved for about a week. He had dark circles under his eyes and his complexion didn't look healthy.
Of course she had heard about the way he was behaving lately, the whole world had heard, and she had honestly been worried about him. It hurt seeing him like this, the strong, demanding, sexy man she had known, was just a pathetic looking drunk right now.
When the doorbell rang, she went downstairs to let in Ben. "Thank you Ben, I didn't know what to do, and I wouldn't call the police on him, he has enough trouble as it is".
"Yeah I heard Luke is one mistake from quitting on him, and I get it, he has been acting like an idiot". Ben looked like it hurt him to think about it.
She shook her head. "But why is he acting like that ? I mean, I know he is not as perfect as his image was put up to be, but he isn't like this either Ben".
"Because he loves you Amber, he told me after you left, and I do believe him, he actually loved you, the bet meant nothing to him". He looked a bit embarrassed.
Amber didn't really know how to feel about this. "Well I am sorry for him, but he did bring it on himself".
*Ben*
He walked upstairs and one look at Tom was enough to tell him exactly how drunk he was, okay he wasn't gonna be able to wake him up.
"Amber can you open the doors for me ? Then I am going to get him out of here". Ben looked at her.
She looked at little concerned. "You are not just throwing him somewhere are you ?"
"Of course not, I will make sure he is absolutely safe Amber, he might be angry with me, but he is still my friend". He smiled reassuringly at her.
He picked up Tom.. shit he had lost quite a lot of weight actually, it was time someone had a serious talk with him and as Luke had failed, he would have to step up.
When he had put Tom on the backseat of his car he turned to Amber. "I'll take care of him, now go sleep, you look like you need it".
Actually he worried about Amber to..she had lost weight to and she seemed tired and on edge, and he was pretty sure it was because she still loved Tom, well he might have to step in there too.
Yes, he still loved Amber, but he now knew that they weren't meant to be more than friends, and he regretted telling her about the bet, he had hurt her and Tom so much.
"By the way Amber, are you free tomorrow evening ? Cause I need a beautiful date for my premier". He smiled at her.
She was eyeing him, looking at little uncertain. "I will, but it will be just as a friend right ?"
"Of course Amber, just as friends and thank you, I call you tomorrow about details". He kissed her on the cheek.
He brought Tom home to himself, and put him in his guest room, pulling of his shoes and jacket. Tom better be ready to talk to him in the morning, because some things would have to change.
