Apologies

   “Hey?” I was shaken awake by a soft hand on my shoulder, “Wha!” I sprung up in a karate position,

   Standing before me was Danielle, Perrie and Eleanor, they all burst into laughter, “What are you doing?” Perrie asked with an amused smile across her face, although she wore no makeup, she still looked bright eyed and bushy tailed,

   “Being prepared for a surprise attack,” I squinted as the light shocked my eyes, I yawned and stretched, “What are you guys doing in here anyway?” I asked as Eleanor sat down beside me, Perrie and Danielle sat on the floor cross-legged in front of the window seat,

   “Why do you think?” Danielle exclaimed before shushing herself, “We want to know what happened last night,”

   “Fine,” I sighed, “But, it’s not a happy ending,” I picked up Noelle, “I’m telling you now,”

   Danielle picked up Jaime and handed her to Eleanor and then sat Annalise on her lap, “Oh,” Danielle said, “Why?”

   “It all started fine,” I said bobbing Noelle up and down on my lap,

   “Where did he take you?”

  I smiled as the memories resurfaced, “A really tiny little restaurant,”

   “Aww…” The girls cooed,

   “That’s not the best part,” I told them, they all gazed at me wanting to know more, “When we got to the room, by ourselves. You could see the stars out of the window and the room was dark lit up by the candles that were everywhere.”

   “Oh my,” Danielle pressed one hand to her heart, “That sounds so beautiful,”

   “It was,” I sniffed, “And there was music playing and no one else there,”
   Eleanor smiled, “So what happened?”

   “Well,” I cleared my throat ready for the explanation, “We ate and talked at the same time, then, we started to dance,” I left out the part about my mum and my crying,

   “Beautiful,” Danielle whispered,

   “It was slow and he held my waist and everything was fine until…” I cut off, did I really want to tell them? I wanted to get it off my chest, I felt like I needed to…

   “Until what? Until what?” Perrie repeated, god she was almost as bad as Danielle when she got over excited, she was bouncing up and down so much I thought she was going to wet herself,

   “You were right,” I told Eleanor, “Because then, I was telling him about Harry,” I looked over to Danielle, “And how you said I was ‘the other woman’ and how I from now on am only going after non taken guys…So he kissed me,”

   “He what!” Danielle exclaimed in a screech,
