"who even told her?"

"i've no idea babe, but i swear i said nothing"

"well... you did tell me" navaeh mumbled, stoking haidens hair gently as her head lay against nav's lap

"so? did you tell gracie?"

"no of course not, but maybe she overheard you telling me? it's clear that she's not over him..."

"we're not going to last" haiden sniffled

"don't say that denny, he adores you"

"spencer i had an abortion and hid it from him, he's not going to forgive that easily"

meanwhile, while haiden was trying to forgive herself for a decision that needed to be made... ryan had never seen his best friend so distraught. elijah paced his garden, thoughts running through his mind after tears welled in his own eyes

"mate, you need to calm down"

"please don't ry, don't try and be that guy"

"you haven't even talked it through with her! she probably had a perfectly good reason for doing what she did"

"don't try and mansplain to me that haidens body is haidens choice okay, i know that" he scoffed "it wasn't just her choice to make"

"so talk it through with her lad"

"i have to say mate, she's pretty distraught in there" bobby hissed, patting eli on the back for comfort

"i thought we were good... my haiden doesn't like secrets" he mumbled "where is she now?"

"she's in your room... she's got nav and spence helping her, mate i don't think i've ever seen her so scared"

"what if she doesn't want to see me?"

"i think the only person she's going to want right at this moment is you, eli" ryan sighed, pulling his mate in for a hug. elijah broke down once the two connected... they were all close with each other, practically brothers, but ryan and bobby had never seen eli like this before and frankly, they had no idea what to do

"i'll clear everyone else out mate, we'll stay with the girls in the living room while you two talk, yeah?"

"thanks lads" he laughed lightly, wiping his eyes as he patted them on the backs. he made his way back into his home, the remainder of guests whispering between them before bobby cleared them out. he knocked on his bedroom door, still wanting his angel to have her privacy given the situation. as he opened the door to peak his head in, his heart couldn't help but break at the sight... haidens head on navaeh's lap, her cheeks redder than his heart and all tear stained... she looked drained.

"is it alright if i talk with den?"

navaeh smiled at his use of nickname for her best friend... she nodded, kissed haiden on the head and let her know they'd wait for her. she dragged spencer out, her very hesitant to go

"i swear to god hewson, hurt her and i'll wear your balls for earrings. got it?"

"spence!"

spencer smiled as she left, closing the bedroom door behind her and leaving the two alone. haiden sat up, shuffling to the opposite end as elijah took his shoes off, sitting at the end of the bed
