CHRIS'S POV

eliza was asleep on my shoulder and it instantly brought me back to when i stayed, years before but not long before she left.

ELIZA'S POV (only for the flashback)

my parents were arguing downstairs, it was like this a lot recently. They wouldn't tell me why they were arguing but they would start, after every single thing.

I hated being alone when they would argue, bur most the time it was. This time wasn't going to be like the other times.

lizzy🩷
chris, please can you come round?

chr*s
yea of course? want me to bring matt and nick?

lizzy🩷
no please can it just be you?

chr*s
yeah, is everything okay?

lizzy🩷
my parents are arguing again

CHRIS'S POV

my eyes widened, lizzy's parents were arguing again. They had been at it a lot recently so i had to hurry up and get there, some nights it was pretty bad.

i rushed around my room getting my stuff because i was probably going to end up staying the night.

when i had finished packing my bag i walked downstairs and to the front door, unfortunately matt and nick were watching tv by and our door was in the living room that was right next to the front door,
"where you going?" matt and nick ask me,
"liz's house" i say,
"can we go?" they reply and i shake me head,
"sorry guys, only i can this time. it's important" i say and they nod their heads.

ELIZA'S POV

lizzy🩷
message me when your here, i'll sneak you in through my window

chr*s
okay, i've just left. see you in 5

chris was the only person i had told about my parents arguing, well i told madi but chris was the only one who knew how bad it was.

some nights it got that bad that either my mom or dad had smashes glasses,vases or even plates. they would never hurt eachother, they just did it out of anger.

It was around 15 minutes later and chris texted me that he was outside, luckily my house wasn't very tall so i had made a rope out of my dressing gown tie belts so he could climb up.

i let it out my window and he just looked at me and i laughed and let out a smile, then he smiled and started climbing.

After he got up he saw that i had been crying so he pulled me into a hug and played with my hair that was down my back.

"i'm here for you liz, i love you so so so much. no matter what happens" he says and i just smile.

"eliza!" my parents shout from downstairs i let go of chris and went downstairs.

both my parents were sat downstairs at the table next to eachother, and i had a gut feeling they were going to tell me something bad,
"eliza, me and your father have decided to get a divorce" my mom says and my heart sinks, i feel a lump in my throat. I was unable to say a word, i covered my mouth and my dad looked down at the table,
"why?" was the only word i could force out.

my mom and dad just looked at eachother,
"your dads been having an affair for 2 years and a half" my mom says, her voice cracking from the pain.

tears start brimming my eyes and i just run back upstairs, i enter my room and chris just looks up at me and i start to cry. he rushes up off my bed and hugs me as i bury my face in my hands and i start to sob.

"eliza, what happened" he asks me while drawing circles on my back while still hugging me, i go to say something but no words come out just sobs and chris hugs me tighter.

after around 5 minutes i walk over to my bed still crying, "my dads had an affair for 2 and a half years" i finally say my voice breaking and chris' eyes widen, "aww no" he says, "i'm here for you eliza, you can sleep round ours if you want, whenever you want" i say and she looks at me with a sad smile, "i will sooner or later, i just want to stay with my mom though and make sure she's okay" she nods as tears start brimming her eyes again.

I lay up against her headrest and she lays her head on my shoulder as my arms around her. she puts her arms around me, "i love you chris, thank you for being there for me" she says and i just side-hug her and i feel her smile.

"want to watch a film?" i ask but i just look down at her asleep, on my shoulder. I just smile to myself and close my eyes.

no matter how bad the moment was, it was moments like this i'd never forget.
