My face dropped, completely and utterly emotionless as the words tried to escape.
"Girlfriend. He's had a girlfriend for the last two years."
"Aw, just like George and me," Clearly it hadn't hit Ella yet. "Wait who? Henry? No no that can't be right, they must've broken up. Clearly those messages aren't just your friendly text you send to your Aunty Gill.."
"Ella he has a girlfriend. Fuck how could I be so stupid,"
"Hey you weren't stupid, he should've said something, wait I've got an idea!"
Oh god. Ella's ideas were like marmite you can either love them or you hate them.
She noticed the fearful expression on my face.
"Shut up, this ones gonna work I promise,"
"Fine," I huffed trying to portray the role of a grumpy teenager.
"That's my gal, right Henry hasn't said he has a girlfriend right?"
"Right..." I didn't like where this was going...
"So just text him, catch him off guard, and ask how his girlfriend is!"
"El that's actually not your worst idea!"
"Hey my ideas are always, great!"
I laughed "Need I remind you of the spying on Alex incident? SHALL I SHOW YOU THE SCARS?"
"Fine, but that's in the past...just text him you twat,"
Grumpily, I picked up my phone.
Me: So, how's your girlfriend? :)
The reply was a lot quicker than expected.
Henry: umm she's ok, why do you ask?
Me: Just a question?
Henry: Oh haha sorry ;) well we're ok I guess, we're having some issues at the moment, and I have this feeling she's seeing someone else :(
I showed my phone to Ella.
"Aw poor young Henry, what a bitch his girlfriend must be!"
"What should I do then?" I always turn for Ella for guy advice.
"Keep talking to him dumbo! Just see where it goes, but don't get too attached and don't fall for him, you hear me?"
I smiled. I can do that, I'll be fine.
Just then, my phone lit up again.
Henry: Anyway, I've kinda gotta go to sleep, Jack might actually kill me...so night, beautiful x
I would've replied, but if I was going to take Ella's advice, I thought it best not too.
After that we got tired pretty quickly, to be honest we aren't really the kindof people who stay up until 5 in the morning when it's just the two of us, so I fell asleep on the sofa at 11 and Els and me ended up sleeping there.

Untitled love song
Teen FictionMaybe that was how it was meant to be, 'forever untitled', maybe there wasn't even a song to be sung, but maybe, just maybe, everything happened for a reason and the our story is untitled is because it's still hasn't finished being written.
