Noah and Alyssa
Noah headed back to the campsite, his head still pounding from the drinking of the night before. He created himself up some headache pills and a bottle of water and downed them, then paused as he watched everyone mill around the BBQ.
"Morning, Noah. You look like you fell asleep in a giant blender," Alyssa greeted.
"Thanks, Lys. Is AJ up yet? I've gotta talk to her."
Alyssa shrugged.
"Alright, I'll check the tent then."
Noah saluted and went into his tent to see AJ.
AJ
AJ looked up as Noah opened the tent door. She'd been staring at Underneath Acoustic, wondering where he'd been.
But she knew he was old enough to look after himself.
"Hey," she smiled, geting up onto her knees to hug him, "I was wondering where you'd gotten to. Where ya been?"
Noah
Noah reluctantly pulled away from AJ, and sat down across from her.
"We should really talk."
AJ
AJ's face lost colour, immediately thinking the worst.
'He's gonna break up with me. I'll have to go back to Australia and face my parents...'
Nevertheless, she settled down beside him.
"Yeah? What about?"
Noah
"You know... you know how we had that little fight last night?"
Noah sighed.
"Well, after it... I went to get drunk... and I... I saw Christina getting drunk, and she was pretty upset, so I stayed to drink with her."
AJ
"That was a stupid fight," AJ shook her head, before realizing she was probably straying from the subject.
She rubbed her thigh.
"Christina from the beach, right?"
NOah
Noah nodded.
"Yeah..."
He took a deep breath.
"Oh God... well she was pretty upset, and we were both getting really drunk."
Noah wiped a tear away from his eye and looked to the ground, unable to look at AJ.
"Then before I knew it..."
He buried his head in his hands.
"We slept together. Oh God, AJ, I am so sorry."
AJ
AJ bit her lip as she watched the tear fall.
"Hey..." she began softly, hesitantly placing a hand on his back and rubbing.
"It's ok. You were out of it."
Noah
Noah looked up at AJ.
"AJ, I am really sorry."
He kissed her head gently.
"You... I don't deserve you," he said.
AJ
"I know you're sorry. That's why I'm forgiving you. That, and the fact you were drunk," she smiled slightly, hugging him again.
"It could have happened to anyone. Things like this can break up relationships that could last a lifetime, and I don't want that to happen to us. And I know I'm sounding really pathetic and girly right now, so I'm gonna shut it."
Noah
Noah wrapped his arms around AJ and kissed her.
"Thank you, oh God, I love you, you know that?"
AJ
"So people keep telling me," AJ chuckled a little.
"And I'm sorry about last night. Now there's a rare occurance, me saying sorry. Treasure it."
Noah
"Oh I will."
Noah pressed his lips to AJ's head.
"I'm sorry too. Look, I'm gonna go have a shower, then I'll meet you out there for breakfast."
Noah saluted and stood up, giving AJ a quick kiss again, and heading over to the shower block.
