Y/N's Pov

The silence was suffocating. Neither of us spoke a word. The usual comfortable atmosphere that surrounded us dissipated as we didn't know how to start this conversation. The thoughts whirled and spiralled in my head, weighing out each and every option like it was my last.

"Robbie was in my bed this one time-" I blurted

"What-" Lizzie's mouth was agape

"There was this other girl in the bed too.."

"WHAT" She exclaimed

"I woke up after getting drunk and he was just there" I squinted into the distance, trying to regain memories from that night

"YOU SLEPT WITH ROBBIE AND SOME CHICK? A THREESOME?" Lizzie yelled

"NO OH MY GOD NO" I jumped to face her on the ageing garden bench we were sitting on. "YOU REALLY THINK I SLEPT WITH THAT- THING? NO."

"WELL THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE"

"LIZZIE-" I inhaled deeply "Let's just..pause for a minute so I can explain."

She ran her fingers through her hair and let it fall back over hair face. I tucked a bit behind her ear and she closed her eyes, lips pursed.

I placed my hands in my lap and became very interested in them. "I didn't sleep with him. Or the girl. One party helped the other. I can't remember most of it but what I do remember is all of being fully clothed..except Robbie he had his shirt off so I don't know what happened there, he and the girl probably did something."

She sighed and out the corner of my eye I saw her gaze land on my face.

"I just thought you needed to know" I murmured quietly as she looked straight ahead.

Lizzie raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly, absorbing the newfound information.

"I'm sorry" I said

Her head snaps up and our eyes meet "Sorry? For what?"

I shrug "For being in a situation that's related to a one night stand with your fiance"

She clenches her jaw. Shit. "Ex. Fiance." She says through gritted teeth

"Ex- yes ex fiance sorry" I stumble over my words as the stare she is sending my way is deadly.

Her face softens and she lets a small smile grace her face.

"I'm tired" She states to no one in particular.

I furrow my eyebrows "But you wanted this talk. Like desperately wanted to talk about things and we've hardly said anything"

"Mhm," She hums in agreement "I did want this talk, then you dropped this- bombshell on me and now I don't know what to do with it"

"Sorry" I mumble, looking down again

She lets out a light laugh so I tilt my head to look at her, confusion written all over my face.

"You don't need to apologise for this stuff, the stuff you can't control. Well- the stuff sober you can't control" She smiles softly before standing up without warning.

I tilt my head in confusion "I'm going to bed" She announces, walking to the sliding glass door.

"Oh. Yeah okay" I nod, turning to face the garden again.

Around 20 seconds pass and I realise I didn't hear any movement so I turn my head to see Lizzie standing in the same position, but with the addition of her outstretched hand towards me.

I open my mouth to say something but close it again.

"I swear if I have to stand here like a prick for any longer I'm throwing a plant pot at you." She deadpans

My mouth hangs open "Did you just use british slang?!" I yell

"I-" She stops herself and blinks rapidly "Y'know what you can't sleep with me tonight" She decides

I raise an eyebrow at her comment to which she rolls her eyes "You know what I mean."

She walks inside and I hear a faint mutter of 'prick' as she goes.

"Oh hi mum" I hear echo down the hallway as the front door opens and closes

I haul myself up off the bench, and quickly realise how cold it is outside. Shivering, I walk into the house and follow the direction Lizzie went in after greeting and saying my good nights to Jarnie and closing the sliding glass door.

When I entered the room I saw Lizzie walk into I saw her lying on the bed, duvet open and inviting me to join her.

I looked around "Is this your old room?" I smirked

She shrunk where she lay and nodded sheepishly "Yeah.."

I laughed "Cute"

I walked to the bed and lay next to her, wriggling until I was comfortable.

"I changed before you got in, do you want some sleep clothes?" She asked

I shook my head, snuggling into her "Can't be arsed"

"Fair enough" she muttered, slinging an arm and a leg around me and holding me there securely.

"We still have loads to talk about" I murmured into her neck

"Oh I know, but I'm enjoying our little bubble as it is now." She kissed my forehead gently, whispering a goodnight shortly afterwards to which I returned it softly.



I don't know how long we'd been asleep, or if I even got to sleep. But a crash and the sound of glass shattering then littering the floor was heard throughout the house, making both Lizzie and I sit up quickly, our gazes meeting immediately.

"ELIZABETH" Came a yell
