Lille's POV -

Max had no idea about the amount of alcohol I was taking with me, and he also had no idea that it was Tom who bought it for me.

If he found out that Tom was the person I was getting my alcohol from, then Max wouldn't waste any time in killing him for being so irresponsible and for giving into me by getting me what I wanted. But none of that bothered me now, I was just looking forward to getting away for a couple of days and not having to think about anything other than how to have a good time.

"Lille, Hollie is outside and she's getting impatient." Max shouted up the stairs, but I already knew that because she had text me more than once and she had also been beeping her horn for the past fifteen minutes, which is how I knew she was getting annoyed with me and wanted me to hurry the hell up.

"Tell her I'm just coming. Just finding something that I need..." I lied.

I was actually making sure I had hidden the alcohol that I wasn't taking with me, to ensure that Max didn't find it and didn't murder me when I got home. Especially with the amount that I had hidden in the room at this point, I just kept telling Tom that I had run out and he bought me more. 

Never know when you might need some, or for what ocassion you might need some for.

"If you don't leave now, then Hollie is going to leave without you." Max shouted back.

"Okay. Okay. I'm coming now." I replied as I placed the last floorboard back and made sure if was safely back where it belonged, just to make sure no one accidently found it or stepped on it and worked out there was something there.

I walked down the stairs, with my bags in one hand and a jacket in the other, with a smile on my face. Happy that I was getting out of here for a couple of days and I wasn't going to have to worry about either Max or Jay; I was just going to have a good time with some great friends.

Max pulled me into a hug as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs and, much to my surprise, he even managed to smile at me and seemed to be in a totally different mood to what he was in earlier.

"Remember to phone me if there are any problems and, if there is any trouble, remember everything I told you." Max said.

"Max-"

"But, most of all, have a good time and don't worry about anything. It will all be fine and, when you come back, I'll back off and let you live your life how you want to." Max smiled at me.

"I'll see you on Monday Max. Good luck with the release of the new single though. I'm sure it will be amazing." I smiled back at him.

Walks Like Rihanna was out on Sunday and I wasn't going to be here to celebrate that release with the boys, like I always had been when their new singles were released. They were happy and encouraged people to buy it, you could see that it meant a lot to them and they did deserve all the success which they had.

Even if I didn't like one of them, and the other was my overprotective brother that got on my nerves all the time and didn't know when to stop and leave me alone.

"Thanks Lille, and I'll see you Monday." Max replied as he walked over to the door, opening it and pointing for me to leave and I didn't even argue with him. I walked past him, giving him another smile, and out to the car where Hollie looked less than amused with me and didn't seem too happy that, after being told that she wanted me to be quick, I still took my time and had only just got into the car.

I opted to sit in the front of the car, since Charlotte and Sam were all loved up with each other in the back seat and I didn't really want to be sick all over the place on the way there. At least, if I was in the front, then I was going to get a conversation with someone; after she had finished giving me the dirty looks for making her wait.

"Sorry." I muttered before Hollie even had a chance to say anything to me and verbally abuse me.

"Care to explain?" Hollie replied as she started the engine and drove away from my house.

"Max locked me and Jay in the same room and made us talk with each other, then he didn't want me to come on this trip so I had to talk him into that one. I mean, he still isn't happy about it. He would be even more annoyed if her knew how much alcohol is really coming on this trip with us." I chuckled.

"So you have got the alcohol that you promised?" she questioned.

"Tom bought it for me the other day. No questions asked." I laughed in response, looking out of the window at the world who went past.

"Now, tell me the truth, do you like Jay?" Hollie asked with a serious look.

She had got it into her head that, the reason me and Jay argued all the time was because we both liked each other, but neither wanted to admit it to the other. The arguing was just some clever plan to put people off ever working out the truth.

Hollie liked to think that she was intelligent like that and she really knew the truth when, in actual fact, she had no idea what she was actually talking about and was totally clueless about what the truth was.

But I never told her that one. I just liked to let her think that she getting closer to what was real and that she knew me better than anyone.

"Oh, yeah, the sexual tension between me and him is almost too much to bare." I replied sarcastically.

"Okay, let's try a different question. Would you sleep with him?" she asked, taking her eyes off the road for a second to be able to look at me; they say that the real truth is hidden behind the eyes and I had often wondered if that was true or if people had made that up to make their lives appear more interesting than they were.

"Do I really need to answer that one?" 

"Not even if you were drunk?"

"What is with all the questions?" I asked with a tone of frustration.

I didn't see why Jay had to be the topic of conversation all the bloody time and why they couldn't just leave that for when I was in the mood to tell them what I really think of him.

If it wasn't that, then it was them all telling me about how attractive my brother was and how much they all wanted to meet him because they were all massive fans of The Wanted; they were also jealous of the fact I got to spend so much time with them and never let them anywhere near the boys.

I told them that it wasn't fair for me to introduce them to the boys when there were others who travelled long distances just to meet them. I also didn't want the likes of Hollie throwing themself at my brother and asking him to be their boyfriend.

That would just be awkward and I don't think I would be able to cope with that.

My brother and bestfriend dating each other.

It's horrible to even think about something like that, so it had better never happen.

"Just making conversation, that's all." Hollie shrugged.

"And why can't we talk about something other than Jay for once?" I sighed.

"It's either Jay, or you listen to me telling me about how damn attractive your brother is. Your choice Lille." Hollie laughed with a smug look on her face, knowing which one I would pick and which one I would totally avoid. 

"Guess we're going to be talking about Jay then, even though there is nothing to be said about him." I shrugged, still looking out of the window and admiring the view that was in front of me now.

"So, would you sleep with him if you were drunk?" Hollie asked again.

"Alcohol does make people look more attractive, especially if you drink enough of it, so I'm not going to say no to that." I giggled because, if I consumed enough alcohol, then I wouldn't really care what I was doing and I wouldn't care who I was with, until the morning and I woke up next to them; then the realisation of what I had done would set in and everything would be awkward.

So far, I've managed to avoid situations like that, but I can't really say the same for my brother. There have been many times when he has been unable to avoid such situations, and I couldn't help but laugh at him and make it known that this was amusing to me.

I was going to ensure that never happened to me and I was never stuck in a position like that, especially since Max would be able to get his own back for all the times I've laughed at him and he would love it more than he loves Manchester City.

"How can you even say that he isn't attractive?" Hollie questioned in shock.

"Easily. By spending as much time with him as I have done and finding him so annoying and obnoxious that, if you did compliment him, then it would make his head even bigger than it already is." I replied.

"But that has nothing to do with how good looking he is. Even you can't deny that he's bloody attractive." 

"Yeah. I have a boyfriend, but I still think that Jay is bloody good looking. If I was single then I definitely would." Charlotte said from nowhere, I thought she was still all over Sam and they weren't even leaving each other enough space to be able to breath; guess I was wrong there.

They managed to stay away from each other for long enough to actually have their say in this conversation, although I wish she hadn't bothered because I was being made to look a right idiot now.

"Guess you're outnumbered here then, ay Lille?" Hollie laughed victoriously.

"Well done for stating the obvious." I replied sarcastically, giving her a round of applause at the same time to show my appreciation of her stating the obvious of what had just happened.

"See, let me tell you what I think is happening here..." Hollie said.

"Oh joy. I can't wait to hear this one then, I'm sure it's nothing you haven't said before." I replied even more sarcastically than before, Hollie was always coming up with her little stories and telling us what she really thought; there wasn't really much more for her to tell me about Jay though.

She had always said that me and Jay both liked each other, but neither wanted to admit it to the other. So, to cover that up, we were both mean to each other and constantly started fights with one and another to distract everyone from the truth; crazy idea, right?

It wasn't true and, no matter how many times Hollie told me or herself, it was never going to be true and I was pretty sure about that one.

"Basically, you and Jay just need to get it on with each other, then everything will be fine between the two of you. You will be in a happy relationship, none of us will be brought into your little drama and the boys won't have to keep covering for you anymore. So, just do us all a favour, and sleep with Jay." 

"Erm, yeah, I think I'm just going to decline that offer thanks. Can you talk about something else now." I replied, just wanting to get away from the topic of Jay and sleeping with him, it was never going to happen, no matter what anyone else said or did.

"Okay then. How about we talk about your brother and his perfectly toned abs then?" Charlotte said and I could see her smirking at me in the mirror, even Sam managed to let out a laugh at what his girlfriend had just said, and he was usally the jealous one that was the first to stop either Charlotte talking to another guy unless he knew her as well, or he would just make her not talk about other guys full stop.

I didn't bother replying, I just allowed Charlotte and Hollie to giggled like two school girls who had just discovered that their crushes liked them back and wanted to go on a date with them before they changed their mind about me and didn't like them anymore.

Instead, I just put the radio on and listen to that. It was better than hearing what they had to say about how good looking Max was and how much they wanted to date him; which was never going to happen because I was never going to introduce them to each other.

Max was a flirt, who happened to be single, and Hollie was an attractive blonde that knew no limits and wouldn't stop when she knew that she should. One of them would only end up hurt, and I wasn't going to be stuck in the middle of that. 

"I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOMETIMES, SAYING AYO, GOTTA LET GO, I WANNA CELEBRATE AND LIVE MY LIFE, SAYING AYO, BABY LET'S GO, 'CAUSE WE GON' ROCK THIS CLUB, WE GON' GO ALL NIGHT, WE GON' LIGHT IT UP, LIKE IT'S DYNAMITE, 'CAUSE I TOLD YOU ONCE, NOW I TOLD YOU TWICE, WE GON' LIGHT IT UP, LIKE IT'S DYNAMITE!" Charlotte and Hollie sung, well, more like shouted along with the radio, I decided that I had nothing better to do, other than join in with them and at least make it seem like I was having a good time.

This was going to be one hell of a weekend and, if conversation was anything like it was in this car, then it's sure as hell going to be an awkward one as well.
