Elenas Pov
It's Christmas Eve, and Ferran and I are on the plane on our way to Tenerife. I was looking forward to this 3 weeks ago, but now I'm not. Pedri didn't text me once after I left, and to think I was considering  taking him back.
I lean my head back on the plane, and I look out the window. "You okay?" Ferran asked me, and I shook my head. "I really don't wanna go...." I said and looked at me. "I know...." I looked away again.
We eventually arrived in Tenerife. We get off the plane and go and get our bags. Pedri is picking us up to my dismay. I grab my bag. When I see him waiting, I walk straight past him and go to the car. He watched as I leave and he looked at Ferran. "What's up with her?" He asked as they walked to the car. "You man! You didn't text her once in the 3 weeks...." He told him, and he sighed,"but that's not what we do. I thought we just got on with our lives when we are not in the same place...." Ferran laughed and packed his back. "Oh, Pepi silly boy.....she wanted you to make an effort because it shows you still care and our fighting to win her back. " He told Pedri and Pedri sighed. "I'm an idiot again..." He gets into the car and looks back at me. "Elena, I'm sorry.....I should have texted you..." I just look away from him and look out the window.
Ferran gets into the front, and Pedri looks at me once more and then starts driving towards his family home.
We arrive shortly, and I get out and grab my suitcase and walk straight inside. "Elena...." Pedri shouts, and I ignore him. I see my parents sitting there with Pedris's parents, and I go over hugged my mum. "Hola mama," I said, and she smiled. "Hola hija!" She said and hugged me back. I smile and go and hug my dad. "Hola Papa," I said, and he smiled. "Hola hija." He kissed my head. I then hugged Pedris parents. "Thank you for having me." I said, and they smiled. "De nada, it's good to see you again...." Rosy said, and I smiled. "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." I walk away, and I walk past Pedri and head to the bathroom. Before I can close the door, Pedri walks in and closes it. "What do you think you're doing?? Can I not pee in peace??" I asked him, and he sighed. "Look, Elena, there's one thing you should know. My parents think we are still together. I didn't tell them we broke up...." I look at him wide eyes. "You what -" He covers my mouth before I can shout. "Elena, please....I know you hate me now, but for this week, can we just act like we are happily together. If I tell them we broke up, then they'll ask why, and I can't tell them I technically cheated on you...." He said, and I sighed. "Fine, I'll do it! But can you leave now so I can go to the bathroom in peace!" He nods and leaves the room.
I finish my business, and then I look at myself in my mirror. Great, now I have to fake date him.....
I take down my hair and brush my fingers through it. I walked out of the bathroom. I go into the living room where everyone is. I go and sit down beside Pedri, and he grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. Ferran looks at us weirdly, and I mouth to him that I'll explain later. Luckily, my parents don't question it. My mum always knew we'd end up back together. If only she knew.....
We are just having conversations and talking about everything that has happened this year. His mother tells me how happy she is that her so found me and that I'm like the daughter she never had. I smile and thank her.
After a while, I get up and bring my bag upstairs. Pedri followed me. "You're staying in my room. There are only 2 guest rooms and well your parents have 1 and Ferran the other." He said, and I laugh. "Why can't I just sleep in the guest room and Ferran sleeps with you?" I ask, and he chuckles. "Elena, you're my 'girlfriend', remember, my parents would get suspicious if you weren't in bed." He said and pushed me into the room. I just roll my eyes and place  my bag on the bed.
He closes the door. "Can we please just talk...." He said and sat on the bed. I just nod and start to get changed. He watches me. "Are you gonna keep staring at me. Or are you gonna talk?" I ask him, and he laughs. "Elena, you can't just get changed in front of me and expect me not to look." He said, and I put my sports bra on. "Not like it's nothing you've seen before Pedri." I smirk, and I put on my bicycle shorts. "Fuck!" He said and covered his face with the pillow. I sit down next to him. "Speak...." I said, and he looked at me. "Look, I'm sorry, okay....I should have messaged you, but I thought me messaging you wouldn't be part of the deal we had. And I'm an idiot and I should have made more of an effort cause I do want you back, Elena..." He said, and I smiled at him. "I'm glad you realised you were wrong...." I said, and he smiled, reaching up and tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "I missed you so much...." He whispered, and he kissed my lips softly. I kiss him back, and I pull him close to me. He smiles against my lips and then pulls away. "I'm tired wanna go for a nap?" He asked, and I nodded. He pulls me onto his chest, so I'm lying on top of him. He wraps his arms around me, and I smile and cuddle into him. He kisses my head, and we both fall asleep.
