You Saved Me Once Book 1 novel Chapter 47

“Rochelle.” I call her multiple times, but she ignores me. The room is now silent.

All she could do was pass us and leave the room in disbelief, and tears. Hayes is now looking at me as if it’s my fault. This makes my stomach drop. I try to grab his arm but he just pulls away grab-bing at his hair. I stand in front of him, eyeing him for a few sec-onds before passing him. He calls after me but I ignore him.

“Rochelle!” I yell Rochelle’s’ name in a packed room.

I knew she couldn’t hear me, but I wailed out the cries and tears in hope. Hope that she’d rush up behind me hug me, forgive me.

Instead Ryan does that exact thing, which scares me.

“Woah, didn’t mean to scare you.” He smiles.

I try to mimic his smile through the pain and tears. The lights made it difficult to see anything, so he didn’t know the hurt that was right on my face. I didn’t need to smile but I did it anyway.

“I need to find my brother.” I tell Ryan.

He looks at me, before nodding his head.

“First I want you to meet some of my friends.” He hoots.

“No, I have to find my brother.” I say.

He just smiles at me; he doesn’t know the hurt behind my voice.

“Just take another shot, then we can meet my friends and they can help find your brother.” He states.

“No. I don’t want to do that.” I say.

He stares in my eyes for a few seconds, he seemed offended. Soon after he brushes it off with a smile.

“Adams’ his name, right?” He asks. I nod.

“Okay, let’s go find Adam.” He mocks jokingly.

I almost cry, thanking him.

“Now, you seem a little tipsy can you walk?” He asks.

Before I can say anything, he bends down, so I get on his back. He jumps a few times, which forces a laugh out of me.

Somehow we make it to the 3rd level quickly, and he places me down.

I sway back and forth multiple times, forcing us to collide in-to the hallway walls of the 3rd level. Somewhere through walking up the stairs and colliding with hallway walls, I found time to vomit on not only me but also Ryan.

He rests me against a wall, while he unlocks a bedroom door. I’m confused but too drunk to ask questions. All I can do, is laugh. After everything that happened tonight, all I can do is laugh.

He’s now pulling me into the room and closing the door be-hind him. He flicks on a nightstand light, before putting me on the bed.

I’m tensed and a little uncomfortable looking around a room I’m not familiar with. Then Ryan starts taking off his shirt.

“What are you doing?” I’m slurring my words now.

“You fucking vomited on me Alex.” He laughs. I laugh but I’m still confused.

“Okay, but why did you bring me into a random room. This isn’t my brother’s room.” I mock him with a side laugh.

“I know that. It’s my room.” He says.

His demeanor is different he’s rougher with his words, his tone is heavier now.

“Well…when you’re done changing, can you take me to him? I don’t think I can walk.” I laugh.

He tosses me a shirt from his drawer.

“Thank you.” I say. He smiles at me.

“Aren’t you going to look away?” I eye him, while asking.

“You’re in my room.” He states.

I sigh in exhaustion, and just take off my shirt in front of him without care. Thankfully, I’m wearing a bra underneath. I put on his shirt and look at him.

“Okay, all done.” I say.

He walks closer to me, and I slide further back on the bed. A knock on the door startles us.

“Who is that?” I ask.
