TEXT MESSAGES

charliiiii
Where the fuck did you go??

Amaya💕
I'm so sorry

I left your house

I just needed to get out

I'm on my way to Chloe and Halle's

charliiiii
You don't have to apologise

Look I don't want to pry but Matty told me what happened between the two of you last night ...

Amaya💕
He told you ???

charliiiii
I mean I forced the information out of him

You guys were being so cagey around each other this morning and George said you were wearing Matty's shirt last night ???

Amaya💕
I know its bad!

It was a drunken impulse decision

It didn't mean anything

Just digging myself into a deeper pile of shit

charliiii
No judgement babe

We've all made questionable decisions in that department

Just making sure that you're okay

Matty's a dead man in my books regardless but if he pushed you or did anything shitty he may as well be out on the street!!!

Amaya💕
It's not his fault

If anything I pushed him into it

Don't punish him for my bad decisions

charliiiii
Oh trust me, he knew exactly what he was doing

He's still in the shit with me

Just call when you're heading back and we'll talk about everything

After leaving a pretty angry voicemail for Harry, peppered with a more than sufficient number of curse words and pauses to just scream down the phone, Amaya had thrown on a sweatshirt and leggings, slipped on a pair of trainers and legged it out the door before Charli or anyone else could stop her. Halle had sent a car to come and pick her up as soon as she had seen her message. When she got to their house she'd fallen into both of their arms on the doorstep.

Amaya had never been this much of a puddle of emotion before. As she recounted everything to her friends through bloodshot, swollen eyes, the two sisters shared looks of concern.

"Girl this is a damn mess!" Chloe exclaimed once she had finished her whole sob story.

"What am I going to do?" She sighed out.

"What do you mean?" Halle asked. "You drop the dead weight and finally get back to living your own life!"

"You make it sound so easy." Amaya sniffled, laughing a little at the adamant tone.

"I mean it kinda is!" Halle continued.

"At least this time around it's just a ring you have to return, you're not tied up with kids!" Chloe said.

"Harsh!" Amaya responded, still with a pained smile on her face, nodding slightly. These girls were the closest thing she had to family, and sometimes their words were harsh and cut to the core, but she could always count on them to be brutally honest with her when she needed it.
