Ella walked in with 2 bowls of pasta, it's the only dish the pair of us are allowed to cook after 'The Great Kitchen Fire' which in all fairness, wasn't our fault. How were we suppose to know that carrots do catch fire if you put them next to a naked flame?! I giggled at the memory.
"What are you laughing at weirdo?" Ella raised her eyebrows in confusion.
I just smiled at grabbed the bowl of pasta from her. "Thanks mum." I smiled with a mouthful of food. "Yuck. If Henry could see you now, maybe then he wouldn't be as keen."
I turned a deep shade of beetroot at the mention of his name. Ella's eyes suddenly grew wide, "Scarlett Nancy Wilson, TELL ME EVERYTHING!"
So I spent the next hour telling Ella about quite literally everything. The Jack kiss, Ellie and Jack, Henry and Milly everything. Ella just sat there, open mouthed, whilst her pasta grew cold. When I'd finished, all she could say was "Wow."
Eventually, after she'd had time to fully process everything, she said, "you didn't see me for what? 2 days, and all that happened?! I really shouldn't leave you alone."
"It was ok, I'm ok El, and to be honest, plus Henry's being so lovely and genuine about everything, plus y'know..."
"SCARLETT NANCY WILSON I DO NOT KNOW GIVE ME YOUR PHONE"
Reluctantly I chucked it at Ella almost hitting her in the head. Whilst she was scrolling through our messages, I decided to go for a shower.
"Don't message him anything too bad!" I called before walking up the stairs.
"Hey! How did you know I'd message him?"
"We've been best friends for how long? Plus it's you! You have to do the 'Ella Test' don't you?"
I bit my lip as I thought about Henry. I just hope he can handle Ella...

It had been a while since I'd had a shower in my own house, so I was taking my time. When I finished I threw my hair into a messy bun as always, shoved on a huge t-shirt which stopped just before my knees, and put on my sisters knee high socks, (she thought she lost them 2 months ago).
I ran downstairs to ensure Ella hadn't completely scared Henry off, thankfully she'd grown bored of him, and I found my phone on the sofa next to her.
"Is he that boring then?" I winked as I plonked myself next to her.
Ella laughed, "He's a pretty good guy young Scarlett. I approve."
Those two words were all I needed. I trusted Ella and Jess's opinion a lot. And Ella was usually the more stubborn out of the two of them. So, if she approved, anyone would.
"Ella..."
"What more do you want from me?"
"What did you actually say to him?"
Ella's inability to hold in her laughter was all I needed to know she'd most probably completely embarrassed me.
"He has to know your bad side as well!" Ella laughed as I grabbed my phone.

Me (Ella): Scarlett's gone for a shit.
Henry: um hahaha
Me (Ella): it's funny that I'm not even joking, I'm Ella btw :)
Henry: I guessed :)
Me (Ella): So are you and Scarlett courting or just friends?
Henry: umm whatever Scar wants to call it :)
Me (Ella): courting then ;) I just needed to check you were suitable for my girl :)
Henry: so what's the verdict? Are you ok to share her? Because I'd quite like her to be my girl too ;)
Me (Ella): I approve of you young Henry
Henry: Thank you young Ella :)

I sat down with a massive bump. In shock of what had just happened. Holding my head to stop it from spinning, I turned to Ella, "I love you. You know that, right?"
"I love you too. Now before you go out full lesbian on me, go message Henry! We don't want him getting jealous.." She winked before going to use my shower for herself.
~
Me: I'm back ;) miss me? x
Henry: Of course I did ;) but the question is, did you miss me? ;)
Me: it was almost too much to bear not being able to talk to you for 20 minutes ;) x
Henry: aha ;) umm, Ella didn't by any chance, delete the messages from the conversation we had when you were in the shower? x
Me: hahaha she didn't unfortunately for you ;) your secret's out ;) x
Henry: damn it ;) I wanted to be the one to tell you ;) x
Me: tell me what? ;) x
Henry: how much I like you ;) x
Me: and how much is that? ;) x
Henry: A lot. I really like you Scarlett ;) x
I squeezed my eyes tightly to try and contain the happiness about to burst out from within me.

Untitled love song
