Noah pov:
We ended up having a party after the meal and me and Dix are on the couch I'm sober and planning on staying that way but Dixie on the other hand is drinking she's just got up to get a refill but I grab her hand "Dixie" "yeh" "no more to drink" "why" "because you've had enough" "no I haven't" "sit down" "Noah let go of my hand" "no not until you sit down" "but I want another drink" "but you've been drinking to much" "cmon it's a party" i sigh and let go of her hand seeing I left a red mark I must've held her tight,I don't know why Dixie is drinking and it's worrying me she sits back down drinking her drink staring into space she never drinks this much or even at all apart from the last time "hey Bryce can you get me Another vodka and coke" "no" I say standing up Bryce looks at me and back at Dixie "I guess no drink for you" i go over and get her a drink of water "drink and then we are heading to our room for some sleep yeh?" "But I want to stay here" "well your not Dixie" I say snapping back "why not" she says arguing back with me "because look at you" "what's wrong with me" she stand's up "i don't know ask your self that I'm just trying to help you Dixie why can't you see that" "I'm just trying to have a... good time" "I know but you don't drink Dixie this isn't normal for you" she puts it down and walks outside I walk out after her but she walks past the car "where are you going" "I don't know" "come on baby don't be like this I'm just worried about you drinking I know your not drunk and i over react but I care about you" "I just don't want to feel all this pain I'm feeling it's getting to much for me Noah..." we are now in ally way and it's raining she just stands there shes a mess and I don't Know what to do right now "Dixie I'm sorry I just care for you and want to help you" she looks at me and puts her head down "I'm just a mess and I don't know how to fix it" "if you'd just talk to me and maybe I could try help" "I don't want to put more stress on you Noah you have enough going on" "i don't care about me Dixie I just want to help you" "I know but you need to help your self first" "I promise I will as soon as your doing ok" she sighs "pinky swear you'll tell me things that are bothering you" "pinky swear" we lock pinkies "should we head back to our apartment" "mhm" i side hug her and kiss the top of her head getting in the car and driving to the apartment felt like years the whole ride was silent with Dixie slowly falling in and out of sleep, we arrive and i look over at Dixie to see her sleeping so I took a minute to just relax my hands on the wheel with my head on it as well trying to keep my self together keeping my self from falling apart after a few minutes of it I get out and go over to Dixie's side I unlock the door and undo her seatbelt, I pick her up like a baby she snuggles closer to me "I'm sorry for the way I acted today" she mumbles into my chest "it's okay anytime you need to take your anger or sadness or confusion out do it on me we all need to let the things we bottle up out at some point" "I just wish I didn't bottle it up" "I know" i kiss her head and lay her on the bed after we both got ready I got into bed pulling Dixie towards me she lays her head on my chest and puts her hands around the back of my neck "good night bubba I love you" "Night baby I love you to"

Dixie pov:
I wake up with a headache I check the time and it's 2:33 am I get to get a drink "Dix?" "Yeh it's me" "what are you doing" he says sitting up rubbing his eyes "just getting drink of water go back to sleep" all of a sudden I feel Light headed and feel like I could pass out I grip onto the counter trying to keep my balance "Dixie" he shoot's up and walks over to me he places one of his hands on my back and the other one on holding my hand "are you ok" "I-I feel light headed" "have you had something to eat" "yeh" "are you sure" "mhm" "let's sit you down" that was the last thing I heard everything went black

Noah pov:
"Baby" I get no response "Dixie" I shake her lightly "what the fuck" I mumble under my breath I don't want to leave her here but I need to get bryce so I call him instead, after a few rings someone answers "hey" "oh hey adds is bryce there" "he's asleep is everything ok" "not really Dixie was getting a drink when she felt light headed and I helped her to the couch I laid her down and now I'm not getting a response" I say fast panicking "she's passed out, she'll be ok I'm coming now" she ends the phone and I get Dixie a glass of water for when she wakes up "hey" Addi whispers as she walks through the door "hi Adds" "hey has she woken up now" "no" I say in a low voice "she'll be fine has she eaten anything" "she told me she has but I don't know if I believe her" she sighs We sit patiently for around 10 mins but still no signs of her waking up

Dixie pov:
I feel someone holding my hand I slowly opens my eyes my heading hurting so bad "hey baby" noah looks at me I'm laid on the sofa but the last thing I remeber was getting a drink "h-how am I here" "you passed out" Noah Hands me a glass of water "drink" "Dix have you eaten" "mhm" "well can you eat these noodles for me" "but I'm not hungry" "please dix" Addi places the bowl in my lap and I start to eat them feeling a little better but my head still hurting "how you feeling" "good just my head hurts" Addi left and me and Noah are on the sofa cuddling he kisses my head and we both eventually fall asleep
