Celeste's POV: "Celeste we haven't seen you in weeks... are you feeling okay?" Lilly asked as she sat opposite me on the couch.
"Yeah, I'm fine!"
"It's just that... you haven't been acting yourself recently." Sam said whilst she looked at Lilly, then back at me.
I bet Asher rang them...
"I promise you, everything's okay." I reassured them with a smile.
I am so sick of people asking me if I'm okay!
"Is everything okay with you and Asher?"
"Umm, yeah..."
They both sighed as they looked at each other again.
"You know you can tell us anything... is he hurting you again?" Lilly asked and I furrowed my brows as I stood up.
Of course... poor little Celeste getting abused by her evil fucking husband, they'd love that...

I watched her leave too, then took a deep breath as I ran my hand through my hair.
Fuck them... I don't need them...

I watched with a grimace as Aaliyah fed Chloe the horrible processed food from the jar.
Don't say anything...
But she's a bad mother, Celeste, you know this... are you really gonna let her hurt Chloe like she hurt Callum?
