"elijah, can you at least try and help when i ask you too?"

"what do you want me to do haiden? all i ever do is whatever you say"

"maybe stop leaving your clothes fucking everywhere and put a wash on, i don't know, like you used too?" she sighed, picking up the clothes that were sprawled across their bedroom floor

her and elijah had practically been at each others throats the last few days. the excitement of christmas had eventually died down, and the stress built up for them both as haiden prepared to leave for her tour in a couple of days. they rarely ever argued, but lately each others presence just pissed them off. 

it wasn't like haiden never helped around the house, they both took it in turns equally to help with jobs in order to keep the peace.
lately though, elijah had seemed to just... give up. the only time he'd clean was if the lads or family were over, realistically, anytime that it benefited him.
he was on the phone more, out at the pub more and had suddenly dropped an interest in his girlfriend and their dog

haiden had tried yoga... not something she ever pictured herself trying but she needed something, that wasn't alcohol, to calm her mind. every time she got a seconds peace, eli would lock himself in their at-home studio and strum as many random chords as he could.
haiden was sure he only did it to piss her off.

she couldn't help but constantly feel a pain in her chest, she no longer has the energy to cry.
all she wanted to do was cry for him.
for him to hold her.
comfort her.
love her.

"are we close to the end?" she mumbled, watching as he pulled his leather jacket off and left it sprawled against their bedsheets

"what?"

"did you meet someone else?"

"what are you going on about"

"are they more than a friend eli?"

"god, for once can you just stop being so insecure haiden?" he hissed

ouch.

she laughed. all she could do was fucking laugh. elijah's face fell as soon as he realised what he'd spewed out, his mind racing and heart thumbing to her reaction.
haiden simply shook her head, dropping their dirty laundry onto the bed as she scoffed

"you are not the man i fell in love with" she sighed, looking up at him almost face to face "i don't even recognise you anymore"

"haiden..."

"no, not anymore elijah" she laughed, simply removing the ring from her finger that tied the two souls and leaving it on his cushion "i think we're done here"

"i don't know where she is eve"

"how are you still fucking it up!"

"i don't know okay? i don't know" he sighed, head in his hands "i didn't expect her to leave, nevermind leave me"

"so you expect her to put up with all of your childish bullshit, but you're surprised when she retaliates?" eve scoffed

"of course not"

"eli, the last time this happened and you couldn't find her, she turned up home with an almost broken nose"
