Florence POV

April 6th, 2012

I was at home waiting for my best friend Victoria to show up. We've had these plans to go to Northern Ireland together since before our little fight.

I previously had booked our flights, the bed & breakfast place and everything else. It was all planned out perfectly.

It was all either of us would talk about for the last fews months. I was honestly really excited to go and had everything packed in advantage, which I never do. 

She was planning to come over tonight to crash here, so we could just head straight to London in the morning to catch our flight together.

I had spent the last few hours waiting on the couch. 

There was no call, no door bell, nothing. I was getting a little anxious so I slowly pulled myself off the couch.

I walked over to the home phone and decided to call her house. 

"Hello?", I hear her mum answer. 

"Hi Miss Huntington. Is Victoria at home by any chance?", I ask and she suddenly goes quiet.

"I'm sorry Florence, but she's not. She went with her dad to Germany for the week and told me to tell you she doesn't want you reaching out anymore", she says and I just nod. 

"Oh okay, uh well I have to go", I say trying not to cry on the phone before quickly hanging up.

I put the phone down on the console table and ran upstairs to my room. Tears threatening to fall as I ran up the stairs. I got to the top and stopped for a second before walking down the hall where I bumped into Sebastian.

"Hey, hey why are you crying?", he asks when we bump into each other. 

"Just leave me alone Sebastian", I tell him before running into my room and slamming my door shut immediately.

Sebastian POV

I just bumped into Florence and I could tell she was in tears. I tried to ask what was wrong but when she told me to "just leave me alone Sebastian". 

I knew that something must've happened, but I have no idea what happened or what to do in this situation. 

I continued down the hall before I slowly walked downstairs. 

"What can I do?", I thought to myself and I swear a ding went off in my head. 

"Anastasia", I muttered to myself as I got to the bottom.

"Hey mum I'll be right back", I yell down the hall before grabbing my car keys and walking out of the house. 

I walked to my car and hopped in before reversing. 

"I just hope that Anastasia is home", I muttered to myself as I drove as fast as I legally could to the Bettany's.

I pulled up their driveway, parking my car behind Paul's car before hopping out. 

"Oh hey Sebastian", Paul says when he notices me walking towards the front door and I smile. 

"Hey Paul. Is Stasi home?", I ask and he nods. 

"Yeah she's upstairs in her room, why?", he says but I just ran straight up the porch to the door.

I quickly opened the door, trying not to slam it open to break anything. I shut the door before I took off my shoes and running straight upstairs.
