As I- Ella Fletcher- go through life, just trying to run away from my past. It all catches up With me, a rollercoaster of emotions and failure. But happiness and love.
Today Chelsea was playing reading, I needed to tell the fans why I wasn't playing.

Everyone gradually arrives, we sit outside. Gio sits next to me "have you heard?" She says "Heard what" I ask "Rafas leaving, moving to America joining orlando" she says "What. Wow I never expected that" I say "Don't think Leah did either, she looked pretty destroyed when we got told yesterday" Gio says "Why didn't she tell me?" I ask "Because she doesn't want to panic you and the baby" Gio says "She stressing, I got asked about the paint, where the nursery is and the name of our baby already" I say slightly laughing. "So have you decided? On a name" Gio asks me "Yeah we have" I say
Katie sits on the other side of me "I'm happy for you both, your gonna regret it when they become teenagers though" "What do you mean they?" Gio asks "Yeah Katie what do you mean they" I ask "Your having twins aren't you?" She asks "No, trust me I would know about it. We found out the gender a week ago and no twins" I say "Oh, must be a rumour then" Katie says
Leah comes over and stands above me "feeling sick? Need anything? Water? Coke?" She asks "No I'm fine really le" I say "You sure" she asks "Yes I'm 100% sure" I say "Okay" she kisses me on the cheek and walks over to Rafa and Jen. "See what I mean about her stressing" I say to Gio.
"Just slightly, probably because her cousin is in town" Katie says "Wait what, I thought she liked Jordan" I say "Yeah she likes Jordan, shit has she not told you" Katie says "Told me about what?" I ask "About Hallie, her cousin, she's vile. I've met her once and I'm glad it was only once" Katie says "Why? Is she that bad? She can't be that bad?" I say "No she is" Gio says standing up. Leah comes over "ready" she says
"Yeah" I say. I stand up and Leah says "so, we wanted to tell you the gender of our baby, but we wanted to do it individually" I go next to Leah "we hid envelopes in our house with your names on it, one by one you can go in. Find your envelope and open it, me and le will be with you so we can see your reaction but yeah" I say "Beth, Viv you guys are first" Leah says We follow them and they congratulate us. We do this with everyone.
