*Dan POV*

I was sat on the sofa with Luke and Evie watching the soaps. Evie had won...not that I was concentrating on what was on the TV. My mind was on this afternoon with Liv...remembering every last second of it...treasuring it. I just hoped it wasn’t the last time I got to kiss her...to be with her.

I heard a key in the front door and my heart fluttered knowing she was home.

The door flew open and in stumbled Katy holding a very drunk Liv.

“Oh my god.” Evie gasped looking at them

“Little help here boys.” Katy says and I get up off the sofa walking over to them

“She needs her bed.” Evie sighs getting up “I’ll get her some water, take her up to bed Dan please.”

I wrap my arms around Liv’s waist and she shrugs me off stumbling over to the sofa and lying down. I sighed looking at Luke who ushered me over to her. As I walked over I realised she was passed out.

“She’s asleep.” I laugh slightly

“That was fast.” Luke replied, laughing quietly

I slipped my arms under her legs and arms lifting her up. I walked up the stairs and placed her on top of her quilt, tucking the blanket over her that was lay at the bottom of her bed.

“Here’s her water Dan.” Evie whispers walking quietly into the room

“Ahh cheers Evie.” I reply taking it off her and placing on Liv’s bedside table.

“You leaving her sleep?” she asks me

“I will...I just wanna watch her for a bit...make sure she’s not sick.”

“Okay...I’ll come check on her soon.”

I heard the bedroom door shut as I sat down on the edge of her bed, moving her hair gently out of her face.

I just sat there watching her sleep, I took her hand in mine and linked our fingers together. I felt her close her fingers through mine, making me smile to myself. I rubbed my thumb over her hand softly, “I love you so much Tink.” I whisper kissing her hand before getting up.

“I love you too Dan.” I heard her whisper; my head shot round to her her looking at me. Her eyes filling up with tears.

I slowly walked over to her and crouched down beside her. I stroked her cheek slowly and watched how her eyes closed causing her tears to fall as she leaned into my hand.

“I’m so sorry.” I whisper and she nods

“I know.” She croaked before opening her eyes again.

I leaned in closer to her, I was risking it again...

I thought she was going to respond when she blurted out “I’m gona be sick.” She pushed me away from her stumbling into her en-suit.

I followed behind her, pulling her hair out the way and rubbing her back. I found a bobble by the sink and tied her hair up before picking up her glass of water Evie had brought her.

“Thanks.” She whispered after cleaning herself up, brushing her teeth and climbed back into bed.

“Anything for you , you know that.” I mumbled kissing her forehead before walking towards the door when her hand reached for mine.

“Everything okay?”

“Stay with me.” She whispered and I nodded, trying so hard not to smile.

I walked round to the other side of her bed and got on top of the quilt. I wanted so much to pull her into me, but right now I was just going to go at her pace. Do what she wanted; if this was the beginning of her trusting me again I wasn’t going to rush anything.

“I don’t like this.” I heard her slur

“What you on about ?”

“You’re...never mind.” She replied

I got off the bed and I heard her let out a deep sigh. I slipped off my bottoms and pulled my top over my head before getting under the quilt.

Without saying anything to her, I pulled her towards me, wrapping my arms around her waist. Her head automatically resting on my chest, whilst her arm wrapped around my body.

“Thank you.” She whispered making me smile stupidly to myself. I ran my fingers down her back, gently stroking her hip till we fell asleep. It was only about eight o’clock but I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. If this moment was a dream, I never want to wake up.

Over the space of the next hour Liv was sick a few more times. Each time I rubbed her back and passed her the glass of water.

I watched as she curled back under the quilt, obviously regretting the amount of alcohol she had drunk. I picked up her glass and walked towards the door, she looked at me as if to say why aren't you getting into bed?

"Just getting you some more water ." I smiled at her and she nodded closing her eyes.

I opened her door making my way down stairs.

"How she doing?" Luke asked not moving his eyes from the TV, Corri was on. Have to admit I did love a bit of Corri, as did Luke, that Michelle Keegan was well hot.

"She's been sick a couple of times but she's okay." I reply walking into the kitchen

"Err Dan...why you in your boxers?" Evie asked me

I smiled before looking at them both, "She asked me to stay with her tonight."

"Oh fair enough." Luke smiled at me, knowing how much this meant to me

"What did she say?" Evie asked warily

"She said she loved me and asked me to stay with her."

"Is that all she said?"

"Yea...why?" I enquire

"No reason." She replied biting down on the end of her hair that she'd placed between her lips

"What Evie?"

"Nothing." She replied chucking her hair over her shoulder

"Something’s up. You’re doing the same thing Liv does when you’re keeping something from me."

"Am not."

" you are, the only time you chew your hair is when you don't want to tell me something. You just did that now."

"Na, I don't have anything to say." She replied turning around and sitting down on the sofa.

"You would tell me if something was wrong, right?" I ask Evie, "If something was mentioned at the hospital."

"Of course." She mumbled before un-pausing the sky box letting Corri carry on.

I glanced at Luke who shrugged his shoulders at me before I made my way back up to her room.

I placed the glass beside her before climbing under the quilt. As soon as my head hit the pillow I felt Liv turn over. I watched her eyes open and focus on me. She smiled slightly before closing her eyes again, yawning and placing her hand on my stomach. I felt her draw invisible patterns on me, spelling out a few words. I smiled as it reminded me of the day we came back from Glastonbury.

I felt my eye lids become heavy before sleep took over my body. Falling asleep with my gorgeous girl in my arms again. I hope we get to talk tomorrow, finally sort things out. As much as I feel she needs me, I wonder if it’s just because she's drunk?

*Liv's POV*

My eye lids flickered open and I was cuddled up to Dan in my bed. What had happened? Why was he in my bed? I glanced at my clock 3.07am. I was so confused.

My head was pounding which wasn’t good, I leant over and grabbed the glass of water from the side and opened the top draw to get some paracetamol. Hopefully this could help get rid of the pounding I could feel. How much had I drunk yesterday?

I felt Dan’s arms wrap around my waist pulling me into him. I kept my back to him as my head was against his chest. He was totally spooning me, reminded me of that night I stayed in his bed all those months ago after I had that nightmare after watching that stupid Paranormal Activity. I felt Dan’s lips slowly kissing down the back of my neck and I closed my eyes...he knew I loved it when he did this. It was so relaxing.

“Go back to sleep Tink.” I heard him whisper so I did what he said...I wasn’t going to argue at three in the morning.

I woke up again to the smell of bacon cooking. My head was still pounding, I turned over and Dan wasn’t there...did I dream that he slept in here with me?

I got out of bed and groggily walked downstairs into the kitchen where Dan was making breakfast for everyone.

“Morning...how’s your head?” Luke laughed

“Hurting.” I moaned plonking myself down next to Evie at the breakfast bar

“Why did you get drunk yesterday?” Evie asked me

I glanced up at her and quickly looked at Dan before looking back at Evie before she did the same.

“Oh right.” She replied

“You didn’t say anything.” Luke said looking at us confused

“Twin’s Luke...remember.” I smile unconvincingly as he looks at Evie, raising one eye brow.

“You want some breakfast?” Dan asked looking at me

“Please.” I replied quickly diverting my eyes from his body.

Dan dished up before placing our food down in front of us. I squeezed a rather large splodge of ketchup onto my plate before passing it to Dan.

“Cheers .” He replied. I glanced at him before looking back at my food.

I noticed Dan looking at Luke confused but I just carried on eating away.

“What do you remember about yesterday Liv?” Evie asked after about ten minutes of silence.

“Not much really...I went shopping with Katy, went to Benny’s for food, then had a couple of drinks...after that I duno. I woke up at like three this morning before going back to sleep.”

“So do you don’t remember what you said last night?” Dan asked me

I looked up at him petrified... “No, what did I say?”

I glanced at Evie who shook her head at me which calmed me down; least I hadn’t told him when I was drunk.

“Just that...it was nothing important.” He smiled slightly at me before finishing off his food

I looked at him confused, what had we spoken about? “What?...” I begin to say but Evie interrupts me

“Ahh oww.” Evie laughed

“What?” Luke replied anxious over Evie’s outburst

“Baby’s kicking.” She laughed and Luke practically ran around to her side of the table

“Let me feel it.” He grinned placing his hand on her tummy

“It’s stopped now.”

“Dammit. Next time she does it, let me know.” He grinned at her

“She?” I ask looking at them

Evie looked at my sympathetically as my hands were now resting on my stomach. “Just a guess.” Luke smiled and I nodded.

I stood up, taking my plate over to the dish washer but Dan took it off me. “I’ll wash up.”

“‘Okay.” I smile slightly at him before swiftly walking out the kitchen. I went upstairs and got changed; I wasn’t going to be doing anything today. I just wanted to relax and try and get rid of this hangover.

I came down the stairs and lay in a ball on the sofa, wrapping my snug around me.

“How you feeling?” I heard Dan ask me

“Been better.” I replied continuing to watch One Tree Hill on the TV.

"So are we going to talk about last night?" Dan asked me sitting down on the other sofa

"What are you on about Dan?" I ask sitting up slightly, pausing the TV.

"Don't you remember?"

"No, otherwise I'd be like yea okay let’s talk..." I reply sarcastically "If you don't remember I was drunk."

"A drunken mind speaks a sober heart." He sighed

"So what exactly did I say to you then?"

"It doesn't matter obviously you didn't mean it."

"Tell me." I insisted but he shook his head staring at the floor

"Fine, but you’re not getting another chance to tell me." I snap and get up off the sofa

"You said you loved me," I heard him mumble

I turned on my heels and looked at him, his eyes meeting mine

"And you don't think I meant it?" I say shocked

He shrugged his shoulders at me, "Well it’s a good job were not together then isn’t it." I snarl at him but at the same time a sadness overcome me. Of course I loved him. I walked away but he grabbed my arm

"Get off me." I shouted

"Something has happened to you and you're not telling me."

"Get off me Dan"

"Tell me."

I shook my head at him, closing my eyes. I could feel the tears tumbling down my cheeks before whispering "I can't believe you don't think I love you."

"So you do?"

I looked up at him with my eyes glistening with tears, "Of course I do. I can't stop my feelings anymore than you can. That's if you still love me?" I reply stepping away from him but he pulled me in close.

"I will always love you." He replied holding onto my face. His mesmerising chocolate brown eyes locked on mine. His eyes glanced to my lips before meeting my gaze again. His lips brushed against mine before pulling away. "But I know you’re keeping something from me."

"I'm not" I mumble

"I've been your best friend for twenty years Tink. I know you better than you know yourself sometimes."

"You don't." I cry and he pulls me into a bone crushing hug.

"Tell me what happened?" He whispered down my ear

"It’s nothing Dan." I reply pulling away and walking up the stairs

"Why are you pushing me away?"

I turned on the stairs to see him stood in the same spot.

"Just leave me Dan." I reply running up the stairs and into my room, slamming the door behind me.

I put my ipod on full blast and crashed out on my bed. Instead of happy songs playing, it was still on my slow song playlist.

I lay there on my back for about ten minutes, looking up at the ceiling. As the beautiful voice of

‘Brandy-Have you ever' ran through the room.

‘‘Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?

Have you ever needed something so bad you can’t sleep at night?

Have you ever tried to find the right words but they don’t come out right?

Have you ever?

Have you ever?

Have you ever been in love, been in love so bad

You’d do anything, to make them understand?

Have you ever had someone, steal your heart away?

You’d give anything...to make them feel the same.

Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart?

But you don’t know what to say and you don’t know where to start?

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?

Have you ever needed something so bad you can’t sleep at night?

Have you ever tried to find the right words but they don’t come out right?

Have you ever?

Have you ever?

Have you ever found the one you’ve dreamed of all your life?

You’d do just about anything to look into their eyes?

Have finally found the one you’ve given your heart to.

Only to find the one, won’t give their heart to you?

Have you ever closed your eyes and dreamed that they were there.

And all you can do it wait, for the day that they will care?

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?

Have you ever needed something so bad you can’t sleep at night?

Have you ever tried to find the right words but they don’t come out right?

Have you ever?

Have you ever?

What do i gotta do to get you in my arms, baby?

What do i gotta say to get to your heart?

To make you understand, how i need you next to me?

Gotta get you in my world, ‘Cause, baby, i can’t sleep.

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?

Have you ever needed something so bad you can’t sleep at night?

Have you ever tried to find the right words but they don’t come out right?

Have you ever?

Have you ever?’’

My tears were falling uncontrollably. My heart was breaking, I needed Dan so much. Why couldn’t he see that? I just needed him to hold me and tell me everything was going to be okay...

I just couldn’t tell him about our baby...I just couldn’t. I couldnt cause him that pain...the same pain im feeling right now.
