Chapter 19 Willow’s POV:

I wake up to a pounding headache spreading through my skull. I groan and roll away from the light that pierces my aching eyes. As I roll over, my legs hit something warm and solid next to me making me jolt awake in fright.

Frantically I sit up and look to see what is next to me. Thankfully it is only a sleepy looking Andy who I seem to have woken up by kicking, so my heart beat starts to slow.  His eyes open groggily and he blinks at me slowly to clear them. A small smile creeps onto Andy’s face when he sees me led next to him. I sit up and manoeuvre my body so I’m curled up in his arms.

“Are you feeling any better?” Andy asks as I lie in his warm arms.

I nod. “I still feel a bit odd but not so sick now.” I tilt up my head and kiss his soft lips. He kisses me back passionately and I lose myself to him.

We break apart at the sound of footsteps entering the room. We look up to see the now awake Sammi walking through the living room door. She smiles at us still looking groggy, “Hey guys,” She yawns and takes a seat on the sofa she slept on, stepping over an unconscious Jinxx. CC is still led on the floor, snoring loudly.

“How are you feeling?” I ask Sammi, smiling at her. I stay curled up to Andy, not wanting to move away from him.

“Like crap,” Sammi sighs, rubbing her head. She takes a sip from the glass of water in her hand. “I shouldn’t have drunk so much last night.”

I laugh in understanding. “Neither should I.”

“Hung over?” She asks and I nod.

This makes Andy snort. “I woke up to her puking over the toilet.”

Sammi looks at me in sympathy. “Aww you poor thing.”

I make a mock sad face. “It was disgusting.”

“Get used to it. With these guys nights out always seem to end that way.” Both Sammi and Andy laugh at her words, obviously thinking back to nights out together with the rest of the band. A spike of jealousy jolts through me. I can’t help but be envious of the time Sammi and Andy have been able to spend together. I just wish I had known Andy longer and could have shared more experiences with him.

“Do you remember that one time last year when we got back from tour and CC slept on the floor surrounded by his own puke?” Andy laughs with Sammi.

Sammi laughs. “And Ash fed some of it to him in his sleep?” They burst into fits of laughter at a shared memory, while I sit next to Andy feeling slightly left out as I’m shaken as laughter rattles through his body. I try not to let my envy show through.

Their laughter wakes Jinxx up from his slumber and he groans. His eyes open and he rubs the sleepy from them in order to see more clearly.

“Good morning,” I say smiling at Jinxx as Andy’s and Sammi’s laughter dies away.

“Hey Willow,” Jinxx replies, his voice hoarse. He sits up and rests on his elbows. His face scrunches up as he looks around the living room. “God why is everything so bright?”

We all laugh. Jinxx is obviously affected by the alcohol he consumed last night. After all he did drink more than anyone else. He is an animal when it comes to alcohol. He even beat Ashley in alcohol consumption which astounded all of us, including Sammi who knows him better than anyone.
