"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Ads, I'm sure." She hears him sigh through the phone as she holds it to her ear, "It's fine, I'm a big girl."

"I just-" He sighs, "I don't want you being alone, that's all, you could've moved in with me-"

"Ads, I don't want to impose," She carries on before he can interrupt and tell her she won't be, "Besides, everyones moving out, getting new places-"

"Yeah, but they're doing it together. I mean, I have Carls, Ross is with John, George and Matty..."

"Ads, I'm fine. I think if I have to have another roommate I'll kill myself."

He sighs, "Don't stay stuff like that."

She hears a voice call out in the background questioning who's on the phone, then she hears little bickering as the phone is pulled away from Adam.

"Hey, Tom, how are you?"

"Hi, Carls, you making sure he's being good?"

"Always." She promises, "How's the house? Need help moving?"

"I'm alright, it's uh, it's coming along... I think."

She hears Adam attempt to take the phone back in the background and then Carly shoos him away, "We'll be down to see it when you're done, yeah?"

"Alright, I'll host a party or summat so everyone makes an effort to come."

"Alright, give it."

She hears her complain as Adam takes the phone back, she can imagine him with one arm around Calry pulling her to his chest so she can still hear the conversation.

"Are you sure you don't need help? I can drive down tomorrow morning help you out."

"I'm fine, Ads, promise. But, if I want to sleep tonight, I'm gonna have to start unpacking."

"Alright, I'll let you go then. Call me tomorrow."

"Bye, Ads."

She sets her phone down on the little kitchen island and looks around the little house she's gotten herself about an hour drive from her home village in South Wales.

It's just outside of Brecon, a little detached two bedroom house that stands alone with some land around it. It's a fifteen minute walk from a village nearby, a couple minutes drive away from some shops.

But her favourite part is that she's only a ten minute walk from a pub that stands at the end of the long lane to drive up.

The house is small, and content for just her and Button.

The outside is run down and covered in ivy leaves but she likes it. The reason she was able to get it much cheaper than it should've been was due to the age and the amount of years it's been inhabited.

But for the past two months she's been coming down here and working to get it fixed up. Now all she has to do is unpack her belongings from the flat and fish off a few decorative touches.

When the guys had made the announcement they'd all be moving out she panicked for a while. She'd never be able to afford the three bedroom apartment alone and worried that they'd abandon her in other senses too.

But that wasn't the case at all, Ross and John happily offered up her moving in with them, with George saying she could bunk with Matty (claiming after almost three years it was time he finally had a room to himself as he was 'tall and needed the leg space')

However she quickly found a cute little house that stole her heart and moved in instantly.

The house is small, with a cute little back garden full of flowers and trees to protect from any onlookers outside.
