I woke up to the smell of food cooking. I sat up and realised I was no longer on the sofa with Ethan but rather in my bed perfectly tucked up.
I rubbed my eyes and flung my legs over the side of the bed. I quickly sorted out my hair to look a little less crazy.
I stumbled down the stairs to see Ethan cooking food. "Good morning Y/N" Thomas said smiling sweetly. Ethan turned away from the food and smiled. "Good morning" I replied before sitting down at the breakfast bar leaving a seat between me and Thomas.
Ethan plated up breakfast for me, Thomas and himself. He passed me my plate first and followed with Thomas' and then Ethan took a seat next to me, making me tense while eating. The boys had small talk. I was so absorbed by my own thoughts I didn't even notice they were talking to me. "What? Sorry I wasn't in this world" I said turning to face them. "We were just asking if you were joining Vic and Soph on their night out tonight!" Thomas said "Sure I don't see why not!" I answered, Ethans face dropped slightly in response.
The rest of the day we all just laid around enjoying each other's company. It felt nice being around gentle souls, they didn't touch me, they respected everything I did and actually found me funny. Life here just felt perfect already, but I want a job. I want to be a hairdresser. I pulled out my phone and started to search around for anywhere looking for a hair stylist.
"What ya looking at?" Victoria said before sitting down next to me "Just looking for places that want a hairdresser!" She grinned in response "How about you do my hair for tonight? It'll give you a bit of practice right?" Her smile almost absorbed her face "Sure!" I giggled before Victoria grabbed my hand and pulled me to her room She sat at her dressing table and allowed me to do what I wanted to her hair Nothing like classic GHD curls and then brushing them out to waves. She was in love with it, making it seem like GHD curls was such a complicated thing. It made me smile. We both agreed to get dressed and then show each other our outfits
I rushed back into my room and pulled my favourite satin dress. I never got a chance to wear it out until now.

I looked at my reflection and nodded, let's show Vic and Soph. I shyly stepped out of my room, heels tapping the floor, my makeup done effortlessly, my dress hugging my body. I gently knocked on the door and walked in. Both of their faces looked stunned "Oh my God" Soph said " Sei bella" Vic said (You're beautiful)
I blushed and shyly sat next to them. We had a little talk about where we were going and then headed down to say goodbye to the boys. As we walked down the stairs I felt 3 pairs of eyes fall on us. Ethan blushed Intensely.
Damiano stood up and headed to Sophia. "mia signora, sei assolutamente bellissima" he said (My lady, you're absolutely beautiful) He held her hand and twirled her around before kissing her. She smiled deeply and kissed him back.
"We're off now! See you tonight" Victoria announced We all turned around to leave but I was pulled back by the hand I flinched out of instinct and looked back to see Ethan " I'm sorry for grabbing you, but please take my number. If anything happens you can call me ok? No matter how late it is" he spoke softly before taking my phone and entering his number I blushed softly at how protective he was of me. After he put his number in I texted him and waved him goodbye
9:34pm
Thank you Ethan <3
We got to the bar and it was packed full of people. Sophia held on to me tightly as we squeezed through people to get a table. We sat down and ordered a few drinks. I could barely hear with how loud the music was.
My alcohol tolerance was low considering I have never drunk before, around 5 drinks in I was starting to feel it. Victoria and Sophia were still only tipsy while I was completely gone.
"I want to dance!" Sophia exclaimed grabbing Victoria's hand "Let's go!" She replied being pulled by Sophias hand to the crowded dance floor. Did they just forget about me? Not even a minute later a guy sat at my table
"quanto sei sexy?" He said "I'm sorry I have no idea what you're saying" I replied and he laughed "So you're English?" He asked "Yes I am" this guy is making me really nervous, I thought
"Want to go outside? It's quieter out there" he said, I was too drunk at this point so I just followed him He lead me around to the smoking area and we stood by the wall. We had small talk but he was still making me really nervous. His hand rubbed my arm and I aggressively pulled away. Is this guy being for real? " can you not touch me please it's mak-" I was interrupted by a female voice shouting
"stai mentendo, cazzo" (You're fucking lying) She pushed me to the ground and started shouting at me in Italian. I had no idea what she was saying and was asking her to speak English but she seemed less then interested by what I was saying She got down to my level and starting punching me like this was a year 8 cat fight at school. Her boyfriend who was chatting me up grabbed her off of me and started yelling at her.
I was sober now
I sat up and ran into the bar. Victoria and Sophia were nowhere to be seen. My nose and head was bleeding and I was starting to panic. I took myself out to the front and called the only number I had.
