"Jeet why are we at a club, I'm already drunk enough I really shouldn't be here".

Jeet rolled his eyes at Rohan's words, "Ro you never get drunk easily, the fact that your talking perfectly shows your not even fully drunk".

"Jeet you literally just arrived back and the first thing you decide to do is get drunk, what the hell is wrong with you today?".

"I just want to have some fun Ro, is that to much to ask for?".

Rohan narrowed his eyes at Jeet, not believing his words at all, "I don't believe you, I feel like there's something going on in that brain of yours".

"Don't believe me then, not my problem bro, just go in I'll come after this one call".

Rohan looked at Jeet suspiciously, "Who do you need to call this late?".

"Ma told me to call her when I reach, so I'm just going to call her and let her know I'm okay so she doesn't worry, you know how she gets when I don't call, you go inside and find us a booth I'll be there soon".

"Yeah yeah whatever, just hurry up". 

After making sure Rohan was gone, Jeet called someone, someone that was definitely not his mum, "Are you here?".

"Yeah we are inside where are you?".

"I'm outside".

"Is Rohan with you?".

"No I just sent him in".

"Alright, I'll make sure him and Shanaya come face to face".

"Rhea are you sure this is going to work?".

"Jeet this is the only place where Abhi won't be, perfect place to reunite Rohan and Shanaya".

"Well its not the only place".

"Just shut up Jeet and come inside, I will be needing your help". 

"Alright then see you inside".

Rhea hanged up on Jeet and looked around the club, she spotted Rohan going straight to the bar and then saw Shanaya dancing on the dance floor, both of them trying to forget their pain in their own unique way.

Rhea looked towards the entrance waiting for Jeet to enter, she couldn't untie Rohan and Shanaya without his help, but looking at the entrance she wanted to kill someone, the biggest hurdle in Rohan and Shanaya's love story was now entering the club, Abhi and Rajat were now also here.

Abhi entered the club and started looking around immediately trying to find the bar, his eyes wondered to the dance floor and what he saw shocked him, Shanaya was in the middle of the dance floor, dancing the night away. 

From the dance floor Shanaya felt a intense gaze on her, looking around she finally made eye contact with Abhi and immediately stopped dancing, her breathing stopped and there was now only one thing going around in her mind, her night's ruined. 

Rhea saw Abhi and Shanaya's eye contact and she knew she had to do something right now, otherwise Abhi would never let her plan succeed, she had to keep Abhi and Shanaya away from each other.

Rhea saw Abhi make a move towards Shanaya, but with her quick thinking Rhea stood in front of Shanaya facing her, "Shanaya let's go get a drink".

Without hearing Shanaya's reply or looking back at Abhi, Rhea held Shanaya's hand and dragged her to the bar, away from Abhi and closer to Rohan.

Rhea made Shanaya sit close to Rohan with one person siting between them, both unaware of each others presences. 

Not wanting Rohan to hear her voice, Rhea whispered in Shanaya's ear, "Drink your heart away, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back soon".

Rhea left Shanaya at the bar and stood in a corner, from which she could see both Rohan and Shanaya but they couldn't see her. 

All of a sudden Rohan's heart started beating abnormally in his chest, he felt very weird. Rohan started looking around the bar, trying to find something or someone to precise, there was only one reason as to why his heart was beating like this. 

Turning to his left, Rohan finally saw the person that was causing his heart to go wild, he saw Shanaya sitting on the other side of the person next to him. Rohan quickly pulled his hoodie up, hiding his face from Shanaya. He didn't want Shanaya to see him, he knows if she sees him her whole mood would be ruined and he didn't want that to happen.

"Excuse me, can you give me some tequila shots".

Rohan frowned at Shanaya's words, getting drunk was definitely not a Shanaya thing, Rohan knew he has to keep a close eye on Shanaya and ensure her safety, all without making himself known to her. 

Shanaya downed shot after shot, not caring about anything or anyone. After sometime she finally had enough and stumbled towards the dance floor, unknown to her that there was not one not two but three strong gazes fixed on her and all her movements. 

Going to the dance floor, Shanaya let loose and let all the stress leave her body, she let the bet and the truth about Abhi leave her mind, but even if she tried she couldn't let go of a certain Nanda's thoughts. 

Suddenly Shanaya felt someones hands go around her waist and pull her towards them, at this point Shanaya was too drunk to even realise what was happening, there was only one person in her mind, "Rohan".

The person turned Shanaya around and put their hand on Shanaya's cheek and started to lean in.

Shanaya opened her eyes and in front of her she saw Rohan, even though he looked a bit different Shanaya didn't care, all she knew was that her Rohan was here and thats all it matters. 

However in a blink of an eye the person was pushed far away from Shanaya, "Don't fucking come near her!".

Shanaya looked at the person and was shocked to see another Rohan, only this time he looked more like her Rohan than the other guy, "Rohan".

Rohan looked at Shanaya when he heard his name, looking at Shanaya his heart broke even more than it already was, she looked so lost and broken, looking at her Rohan could easily tell she was beyond drunk, she no longer had any control over herself.

"Shit Shanaya", Rohan ran to Shanaya and cupped her face in his hands, "Are you okay, did he touch you?".

"What the fuck dude, she wants me not you, so fuck off and leave her for me".

Rohan looked at the guy in anger, without thinking for even one second, Rohan lunged forward and punched the guy, "She doesn't want you, she thought you were me and you tried to take advantage of that you fucking asshole!".

Rohan held the guy by his collar, "As long as I'm alive no one can touch Shanaya, so here is a free advice for you mate, fuck off!".

While Rohan was busy threatening the guy, Shanaya's vision started getting blurry and she reached her hand out for Rohan, "Rohan".

Rohan looked towards Shanaya just as she was about to fall to the ground, Rohan quickly ran towards her and caught her in his arms, "Shanaya".

Rohan patted Shanaya's cheeks in an attempt to wake her up, "Shanaya wake up, come on Shanaya open your eyes".

While Rohan was busy trying to wake Shanaya up, he didn't see the guy who tried to kiss Shanaya, pick up a glass bottle. 

Just as the guy was about to smash the bottle on Rohan's head, someone held his hand, "I don't think so buddy".

Rohan looked up from Shanaya, to see Abhi pushing the guy away from them, "Rajat, Jeet, take him away from here".

Jeet and Rajat nodded and dragged the guy out of the club, making sure he was no longer a bother. 

After making sure the guy was gone, Abhi went to where Rohan was holding Shanaya, "Is she okay?".

"She's had too much to drink and I'm guessing its her first time that shes had so much alcohol which is why she couldn't take it and passed out".

Abhi and Rohan both looked at each other in guilt, they knew it was because of them that Shanaya felt the need to get so drunk. For the first time after making the bet, Abhi was hit with guilt, a lot of guilt. 

Rhea came to the dance floor where Rohan and Abhi were trying to wake Shanaya up, "Rohan here take my keys and take Shanaya to our dorm, she needs rest".

Rohan nodded and took the keys from Rhea, "Where's Jeet, I can't drive I drank to much".

Before Rhea could reply, Abhi volunteered, "Jeet's taking care of the guy, come I'll drive you two".

Rohan didn't even bother to fight Abhi on this, right now his number one priority was making sure Shanaya was safe, so without saying anything Rohan picked Shanaya in his arms and followed Abhi to his car.

Rhea watched the trio leave, this wasn't how she had planned the night to go, she admits she feels extremely guilty for what happened tonight, but at the same time shes happy Rohan protected Shanaya, like he always does, and even though Abhi is with Shanaya, Rhea's not worried because Rohan's with her as well, technically she was successful in her mission, at the end of the night Rohan and Shanaya were together. 

*****

After sometime Rohan and Abhi finally reached St Teresa, making sure no one saw drunk Shanaya, they slowly made it to Rhea and Shanaya's dorm. 

Abhi opened the door, while Rohan carried Shanaya in and lied her down on her bed. He pulled the comforter over her and made sure she was comfortable before turning to leave, but before he could leave, a sleepy Shanaya held his hand preventing him from leaving.

"Don't leave me Rohan".

Rohan sat on the side of Shanaya's bed and ran his hand through her hair, "I'm not leaving Shanaya, not now not ever".

Abhi stood at the door looking at Rohan and Shanaya with conflicting thoughts, he wasn't going to deny the fact that there was something between Rohan and Shanaya that him and Shanaya might never have, and he also couldn't deny the fact that he wanted it, he wanted what they had, he wanted to be in Rohan's place, but he knows he can't and that kills him. 

Even though he hated the fact but Abhi knew right now Shanaya needed Rohan and not him, so he quietly closed the door, leaving Rohan and Shanaya to themselves. 

Rohan didn't even realise when Abhi left, he honestly didn't care, all he cared about was the girl who was currently sleeping holding his hand like her life depended on it. 

After sometime Rhea also came back to the dorm, opening the door she saw Rohan sleeping leaning against Shanaya's headboard, while holding a sleeping Shanaya's hand.

Rhea smiled at both her friends, she didn't have the heart to wake Rohan up, but she knew if she didn't he will hurt his neck or he might get caught waking up here, and the popular bad boy waking up in the collage nerd's room will definitely create gossip that Shanaya didn't need right now, which is why she needed to wake Rohan up.

"Rohan", Rhea tried waking up Rohan by calling his names a few times, but it didn't do shit, he just refused to wake up.

Rhea shook Rohan by his shoulder, "Rohan wake up".

Finally after many attempts Rohan managed to wake up, "What the hell do you want Rhea?".

"Get your ass up and go to your dorm".

Rohan finally realised where he was and why he was here, "But Shanaya..."

"Shanaya's fine Rohan, I'm here go to your dorm and rest, you look like shit".

"I'm not leaving Shanaya".

Rhea didn't know if she should feel happy about this or slap Rohan for his stubbornness, "Rohan if anyone sees you here there will be unnecessary gossip, gossip that both you and Shanaya don't need right now".

"I don't give a fuck about gossip or rumours Rhea, I'm not leaving Shanaya alone".

Rhea knew there was no point in arguing with Rohan, when it came to Shanaya all his logic went down the drain, "Fine but do me a favour, go to your dorm and have a shower, sober up a bit, then come back here".

"I am sober".

Rhea narrowed her eyes at Rohan, "Rohan you stink of alcohol, if you want to stay here tonight then go to your dorm and shower, otherwise don't bother coming back".

"Fine, but leave the door open for me".

"Yeah yeah just leave".

Rohan gave one last glance to Shanaya, before removing his hand from Shanaya's, "I promise I will be back".

*****

After showering and sobering up as much as he could, Rohan was now going back to Shanaya and Rhea's dorm room. 

Reaching the girls dorm room, Rohan saw the door was open, he was thankful for Rhea to listening to him for the first time in her life.

Entering the room, Rohan saw Shanaya still sleeping, but he did not see Rhea anywhere, but what Rohan did see was a note stuck on Shanaya's side table.

Hey Rohan, Rhea here, as you can tell I'm not here, I thought you and Shanaya would want to be alone without me constantly interrupting you guys, so since your staying the night in my dorm, I'm staying at your dorm, feel free to sleep in my bed cause you bet I will be sleeping in yours, take care of yourself and Shanaya, see you in the morning, love the greatest person alive, Rhea.

Rohan laughed at Rhea's note, he was not even surprised, such a note was expected from Rhea. 

While Rohan was laughing at Rhea's note, Shanaya suddenly woke up and ran to the bathroom, she felt extremely sick. 

Shanaya removed her hair to the side and sat infront of the toilet seat, vomiting out all the alcohol in her stomach. 

Rohan heard Shanaya run to the toilet, quickly putting Rhea's note down, Rohan ran after her. 

Entering the bathroom he saw Shanaya spilling her guts into the toilet, Rohan quickly held Shanaya's hair back and rubbed her back.

After a few minutes Shanaya was finally done vomiting, she closed her eyes and leaned her back against Rohan's chest, she was physically and emotionally exhausted. 

"Rohan you shouldn't be here".

Rohan ran his fingers through Shanaya's hair, not even questioning how she knew it was him, "No ones going to stop me from being here Shanaya".

"But its disgusting".

"I don't care Shanaya, now come on let's get you cleaned up and get you in bed, you need rest, something tells me your going to be having a pretty bad hangover tomorrow morning".

Rohan helped Shanaya stand up, and helped her brush her teeth and clean herself. After helping Shanaya clean up Rohan carried her to her bed, after helping Shanaya lie down, Rohan goes to lie on Rhea's bed, but got stopped by Shanaya. 

"Thank you".

Rohan bend down and kissed Shanaya's forehead, "You won't remember this tomorrow morning Shanaya, but just know I'll always be here for you".

"I promise I'll remember".

Rohan smiled at Shanaya's words, "No you won't, but you know what its okay, because I will just keep reminding you".

"You won't leave me?".

"Fuck that, the thought of living without you kills me Shanaya, I can't believe I though making you hate me was a great idea, in reality it would have just killed me".

"You are an idiot Rohan, you decided to make me hate you instead of just telling me the truth".

Rohan laughed at Shanaya's words, "I sure am an idiot aren't I".

"Hey Rohan".

"Yes Shanaya?".

"I love you".

**********

How was the chapter?

As always the bad boy saved his nerd, thoughts on that?

Abhi is slowly but surely realising Rohan and Shanaya have something he can never have with Shanaya, do you think his going to let them be or do something drastic to separate them?

So Shanaya just confessed her love to Rohan in her drunken state, what do you think Rohan's reaction will be to that?
