You seem Star Shaped. (Blur/Oasis)

Chapter Twenty-Two

"He's sky high, look at him. He can barely fucking stay still he's rocking so much" He informed me with a cocky laugh, I laughed with him but shook my head in disagreement.

"I reckon he's just fucking depressed, too absorbed in his thoughts" I told him, he hadn't even listened to what I had to say before he was shaking his head.

"Nah, definitely not" He said with a smirk on his face "'ere watch this"

"Oi Mate!" He shouted across, his thick northern accent booming across the, now silent, club. The guy in question slowly brought his head up, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes red and his pupils dilated. He was clearly out of his mind.

"I think that means the next drink is on you Eliza girl" He quipped, a smug smirk now adorning his face. I rolled my eyes, but laughed nonetheless, picking up my glass and necking what was left in it.

"Drink up then Gallagher" I said, hitting his shoulder as I left to walk over to the bar.

The afternoon carried on in a similar fashion to that, we both drank far too much and our noses didn't stop burning from all of the coke we snorted. It was now 3pm, and neither of us were in any state to go to top of the pops. Thank god for the lip syncing.

"Eliza" Liam announced, drawing me from my thoughts "Why did you call me today?"

I laughed and put my head in my hands, I knew it was only so long before he'd ask but I'd have liked to avoid it all together.

"I'm just worried that things were going to go shit between us" I told him honestly, with someone like Liam there was never much point in trying to lie, he always got to the truth somehow.

"I'm not bothered, it's taken you four years to get a number one, only took us a year" He told me, a small smile playing on his lips, I couldn't help but laugh at his words "You deserve it"

I went to thank him, but before I could he was talking again.

"Fucking Albarn doesn't deserve it, he's a cunt, but you deserve it. More people should get to see your pretty face" He told me with a wiggle of his eyebrows and a wink.

"Flattery gets you nowhere Gallagher" I informed him, my cheeks were now flushed red and not just from his alcohol.

Liam shrugged his shoulders, seeming unperturbed by my words. "Well it might get me into your bed tonight"

I opened my mouth in shock, but a flood of laughter flowed out of my mouth soon after. I would be lying if I said that I hadn't had the same thought already, but Liam's boldness was certainly something that was hard to get used to.

We both agreed that we needed to get going, we were cutting it fine to get to the studio where top of the pops was recording from in time. It was my first time performing on the number one slot and I knew the guys, let alone management, would have my guts for garters if I was late.

Stepping out into the street I realised just how drunk I was, I was hoping that the brisk walk to the studio would sober me up, though I knew it wasn't looking likely. It wasn't long before Liam and I had a flood of paparazzi following us, I'm not sure if it was Liam's company or the mix of alcohol and drugs in my system, but for once, the right feeling in my chest which usually accompanied being followed by paparazzi, wasn't there.

It wasn't a long walk and certainly not long enough for me to clear my head as I certainly felt a bit unsteady as I walked into the studio. This wasn't helped by Liam grabbing hold of my hand and rubbing through the studio, we both knew we were badly late. Not late enough to miss our recordings, but I'm pretty sure we've missed all of the briefings. I left Liam outside of the white wooden door with "blur" adorned on the front, I felt somewhat nervous to see them all. I knew Damon was going to be in a mood with me and to be perfectly honest, I could be fucking bothered for it.

"Fucking hell Lyla, you've made it by the skin of your teeth" Graham said as soon as I walked in, I gave him a smile and mouthed an apology to him. His words made everyone look up at the door, Alex and Dave's faces were looking at me fair kinder than Damon's.

"You're absolutely fucked" Damon growled once he had looked at me, I frowned and let out a sigh, crossing my arms across my chest.

"Am not" I told him, a part of me knew how child-like my behaviour currently was, but I honestly didn't care.

I looked across the room and couldn't help my eyes widening as they landed on Alex.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" I shrieked at him, which just caused a grin to grow on his face.

"It's funny, isn't it?" He told me, I shook my head, closing my eyes and placing my hands against the wall, the room was spinning far too much for this.

"It's cause we beat them?" He said, in a dumbfounded tone as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yes I fucking get it Alex" I snapped, this could not be happening. Liam and I were in a good place after our afternoon together and now they had to go and ruin it.

"Worried it'll upset lover boy?" Damon quizzed, his eyebrow raised at me. I didn't even have the chance to respond to him and I didn't particularly want to, so I was quite grateful for the knock at the door letting us know it was our time to perform.

If there was one thing Damon and I were good it, it was putting on a bloody good show. We were able to put on a smile and pretend like we weren't currently at each others throats. The performance went well, it always did when you were lip syncing, Damon and I did our best dancing and jumping. I couldn't help but watch Alex as he pouted at whichever camera was pointing his way and wiggled his hips in time with the music.

As soon as we were given the all clear I stormed off of the stage, grabbing my bag from the dressing room and heading in search of Liam. I always pictured us celebrating our first number one together, but right now, I couldn't think of anything worse than spending the evening with them. I still hadn't completely forgiven Damon for moving our release dates and Alex wearing that oasis top had just pushed me over the edge today, I needed a breather from them and there was no better way for me to do that then to get drunk and sleep with the frontman of our new "rival band".
