Zoe's POV:
I got to Connie's not long after my shift finished, I needed to drown my sorrows somehow. Grace was upstairs for most of the night in her room so me and Connie sat downstairs with a few bottles of wine. As soon as I got there Connie brought up Max but it wasn't what I expected.
"Max has just rang me, he got a mouthful off of Grace though" Connie said to me and I just smirked. Grace was sat in the living room watching TV when I went in there.
"I hear you said some things to Max" I said smirking towards her.
"Yeah sorry Zoe I couldn't help it, he deserved it I hope it didn't make things worse" she said obviously more like her dad than her mum when it comes to apologising.
"It's fine, at least he hasn't rang me at all" I said causing her to laugh. Me and Connie sat down and poured out the wine.
"Right, time to get you wasted" Connie said making us all laugh. "Don't worry you're staying here tonight, I'm not letting you drive home" she added not long after. I just smiled at her and drank a glass a wine instantly.
"So, what are you going to do about Max?" Grace asked me and I was shocked I had been there for 2 hours and drunk quite a bit, I thought she was still upstairs.
"Make him jealous" I said smirking and it seemed that Grace and Connie liked the idea.
"Who with though?" Connie asked but I didn't have a clue. I think she could tell by the look on my face that I hadn't thought this through properly.
"Well I could use Lofty but that would mean breaking him and Robyn up and I can't do that to her and Max would probably kill him for leaving his sister" I said realising it was a stupid idea.
"What about Cal's brother, Ethan isn't it?" Grace said and me and Connie just smirked. I took my phone out and rang Ethan putting it on speaker.
"Hey gorgeous" I said to him.
"Zoe are you drunk" Ethan asked me and I was trying not to laugh.
"No but I've wanted to be with you for a while now, come on Ethan I know you want me too" I said and Grace had to leave the room because she was laughing too much.
"Um Zoe if this is a joke then it's not very nice" Ethan said and I was beginning to feel bad.
"I promise you it's not a joke, come round to Connie's now and I will prove it to you" I said as Grace came back in.
"I can't I'm busy tonight but I know Cal's on his way over" he said and I just looked at Connie who looked away slightly.
"Ok I will see you tomorrow, I will get a kiss out of you during shift though" I said before hanging up. "I can't believe you didn't tell me Cal's coming" I said looking at her blankly.
"Um well he only just text me" she said and I knew I couldn't leave now because I had been drinking, two bottles of wine to myself so far. I knew I still loved Max and it was the only thing I could think of to get over him, start sleeping with someone else. The door went a few minutes later and I knew it was Cal so Grace went and got it. As soon as he came in before he even spoke to Connie he spoke to me.
"What did you say to my brother Zo, he thinks you really want to get with him now" he said and I tried not to laugh.
"I do but just because it will help me get over Max" I said and he smiled to me. I heard my phone go off across the room and as I walked towards it I fell slightly leaving Cal to catch me.
"Zo go sit down you're wasted I will get it" he said leading me back to the sofa then going to get my phone. I could tell by the expression on his face that it was Max who had texted me before he had even gave me the phone. 'Baby, I love you and I need you I'm so sorry I just think you're worth so much more than me that I thought you wouldn't want to be with a porter like me. I've been round your place and you're not there so I'm guessing you're at Connie's getting drunk. I'm sorry for everything can we please start again xxxxxx' it said and I just laughed before Grace read it out.
"Someone wants you back badly" she said before I saw her type something back. I grabbed my phone from her but she had already pressed send. It said 'I've pulled leave me alone and get someone else' I'm going to kill Grace. I chased her round before we were both too exhausted and stopped and that's when I heard my phone go off again. 'I meant it when I said I love you today, you obviously didn't' was all it said and I felt terrible again, I sat down on the sofa again and cried. Grace went back upstairs after apologising and taking my phone, wait she took my phone? Right now I'm really not in the mood to go and get it back.
