Del drove Clara home earlier in the night, before returning – deciding that he didn’t want to miss out on the first ever sleepover at our place.

By this point, we where all mostly drunk, enjoying our time together as we laughed and danced around the living area – playing silly drinking games.

“Bed time for us!” Anna slurs, followed by a yawn, as I laugh and watch her drag Kev off in the direction of their claimed bedroom.

Not long after, everyone else follows suit and breaks off to hit the hay, as I follow behind Alex, giggling at him as he does his security checks – setting the alarms and locking the doon–despite having alcohol in his system.

This man wasn’t for messing let me tell you that!

our guests comfortable and settled for the night. Alex closes our bedrooms

Once he is satisfied, we head upstairs towards our bedroom, now having all of our g door, before pulling me into his chest in a tight embrace.

“I didn’t get the chance to tell you that you done a good job dealing with Clara earlier doll… that took guts!” He mumbles into my hair, as I smile and hide my face in his chest.

Sure I was nervous about it, but I knew Alex needed to talk to Del really bad in order to figure out what was going on with him, it was the least I could do.

“What did you both talk about anyway?” Alex tone becomes clipped, as I pull back from the hug to study his iced features.

“Well, she began to say how Anna crossed the line the other night…I roll my eyes in thought before continuing…

“So obviously she doesnt intend to take responsibility for what happened, she’s blaming everyone else… but thankfully after that, one of her friends called her and she went out front to take the call! I didn’t even have to speak to her for very long! I explain, smiling in victory at the outcome.

Alex’s expression softens as he listens to my account of the conversation with Clara. Good job, doll. I knew I could count on you to handle the situation tactfully.” He praises, pressing a gentle kiss on my forehead with a grin.

I giggle playfully, feeling a sense of pride from being able to help out Alex and Del for once, even if it was just a small conversation. It was usually them helping me so this felt nice!

+So what did you guys talk about while we were gone?” I ponder next, as we walk towards the closet to both change for bed.

*She’s been giving Del a really

lly hard ti

time recently… he’s fucking miserable.” Alex states, removing his shirt and shorts- leaving him bare in his boxers.

My eyes squint for a moment in confusion, as I fumble with my long hair–tying it back in to a high ponytail before pulling on a pyjama set.

“Why doesn’t Del just leave her? It’s not like him to put up with somebody like her for this long!” I make my opinion known, as Alex noticeably sighs seeming conflicted.

he face the other da

day! She’s out of control!”

“It’s complicated doll. I’m trying to help him through it. He told me that Clara even slapped him across the face Alex shared his distaste for her, as I gasp loudly at the news.

She actually slapped him?! She can’t just get away with doing that!

Alex pulls me closer to him, seeing my reaction, his arms wrapping protectively around me.

“I know, Lottie. It’s terrible, and I hate seeing hit go through this. He told me today that she pressed a lit cigarette into his hand whilst he was driving too – he nearly fucking crashed the car because of it!‘ Alex continues bluntly, as my stomach churns in thought.

The idea of anyone being harmed, manipulated and abused plays on my soft spot considering what I had gone through with Tommy, Jason, Holden and

MY ENTI Mother in the past… nobody deserves to be tortured both mentally and physically!

“Delis in a tough spot right now, and I don’t want to push him too much to leave her just yet. He’s already dealing with a lot, and I think he need07:57 to figure things out for himself.” Alex adds, before pulling back and taking my hand – leading me through to the bathroom next.

1 understand Alex’s perspective but still feel an intense surge of anger towards Clara now. “I get it, but she can’t just treat him like that! It’s not fair on Del, and it’s not fair to any of us to have her causing trouble amongst the group either! She has to go! Del could get any girl he wants – he doesn’t need her!” I rant on, as Alex squirts some toothpaste onto our brushes.

Alex strokes my back soothingly, his voice gentle, before he hands me my toothbrush. “I agree, doll. Clara’s behavior is unacceptable, and we won’t stand for it. But we need to approach this carefully and support Del in whatever decision he makes.” He adds, as I shake my head in disagreement.

“I just worry about him, you know? Maybe he does need pushed to dump her? He will only wind up on a downward spiral for as long as he sticks by her! She’s clearly evil and toxic!” I admit strongly, before brushing my teeth in frustration.

“I worry too, Lottie. That’s why we need to be there for him and show him that we have his back no matter what. He’s been taking my advice on board

so far, that’s all you have to know, I have things under control.” Alex reassures me, pressing a kiss on the top of my head.

He always tells me that he has things under control, which usually means there’s more to this situation than what meets the eye..

Why the heck would Del of all people, actually opt to stay with someone like her! It’s not like him at all! There must be something else…

I spit out my toothpaste, turning to see Alex focused on brushing his own teeth now….

“There’s more isn’t there? My tone is firm and knowing, as Alex glances at me briefly before spitting down into the sink.

There is. But Del isn’t ready to talk about it yet doll. We have to respect his wishes. Jace doesn’t even know but you will soon enough… then you’ll understand.” He explains cuntly, returning to brushing as I breathe steadily.

Whatever it is… Alex is right, we have to be there for him. We can’t let Clara drive him off the deep end! Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

As I exit the bathroom and settle into bed, my thoughts keep drifting back to Del and the difficult situation he’s in with Clara’s recent abusive behaviour.

I know that as a group, we will do whatever it takes to protect him and support him through this challenging time, but I still worry.

“Lottie you have to stop thinking so hard or your head will explode!” Alex exits the bathroom and chuckles at me, noticing me sittin deep in thought.

I can’t help it… my mind was racing and my anxiety rising. Clara is trouble!

gup in the bed

“Hmm what can I do to help take your mind off things?” Alex thinks aloud in a hum, gaining my attention before he clicks off the light–darkening our surroundings.

This man!

“Alex what are you doing!” I giggle loudly, as he pulls the bottom end of the duvet up and over his head – crawling underneath.

I laugh loudly, feeling him grab my ankles – pulling my legs apart – now chuckling himself.

“Let me help you relax…” He trails off in a mumble, before my shorts are being tugged..

I giggle at him, but allow it to happen, enjoying every bit of attention that he gives me especially down there!

With that, our night comes to an enjoyable end, however the worries of Del remain hidden away – still very much real and present.

We have to help him……..
