Ellie's PoV

Months have passed since the tv interview that me and Leah did. To say we were well known back then was an understatement we had blown up into something we didn't expect. We were getting job offers from all over the world to work together and making ourselves a brand. But we didn't want that not yet anyway. Leah was Leah and I was Ellie separate but joined only by marriage.

The babies were getting bigger now they were seven months old and my god hard work. But would I change them, not for the world. Me and Leah had an argument last night, over silly things at first but then things got heated. Leah is apart of my new venture my record brand but she wasn't happy with the name and with her having input but only a small percentage I managed to over ride her opinion. Little did she know I had a surprise for her. She made this the bigger problem but I know deep down she's raging over something else.

I had run around all afternoon after the babies. They were dressed and ready for Stephanie to come over and babysit while me and Leah attend the grand opening. Clients were flying in from all over the world as I'd had meeting set up with them throughout the week but of course a party is a party who would turn down the invite.

"Le you ready" I shout up stairs. I hear nothing. I stand and roll my eyes.

"Le" nothing.

I walk upstairs as quietly as I could go and I sneak into the bedroom I know Leah is in the walk in wardrobe. I see her stood leaning in the counter top. I hear her sniff up. I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her stomach and lean my head on her back.

"Your wife would think you were ignoring her" I whisper.

I lean up and hold Leah's hips spinning her to me. I see she's crying as tears silently fall.

"Le....talk to me"

"It's nothing"

"Well I'd hate to see if it's something if your like this and it's nothing"

I see a small smile.

"There it is, the smile I fell in love with that night in Ibiza"

Leah wraps her arms around my neck.

"Look le I want to say something....im sorry"

"For what"

"For getting so heated last night, I hate fighting with you le it's not us. Yes we bicker but last night I know it wasn't just about the name"

Leah looks down making me tilt her chin up to me.

"Tell me le what have I done wrong"

"Nothing"

"Oh sometimes I wish you would just be honest"

That causes Leah to glare at me.

"Got your attention now" I smile biting my lip a little this causing Leah to melt her big brave facade crumbling.

"What had I done wrong le. Let's sort this now before we leave"

Leahs PoV

"What had I done wrong le. Let's sort this now before we leave"

I listen to Ellie. I take a deep breathe.

"It's just....i can't I don't want you to be angry with me"

"I won't I promise"

I look her in the eyes I sigh.

"When were you going to tell me that you and Katie have something going on"

I watch Ellie expression. Then she laughs.

"Why the fuck are you laughing" I swing my arms off her.

"Don't fucking laugh"

"Sorry but do you really think that I'd cheat on you Leah after everything we have been through"

"But the secret messages, the giggling the flirting the coffee meet ups I mean really"

"Le I'm not being funny but she's my best friend I'm doing all I can to have friends looking after the babies is hard when you're out at photoshoots and events. I need a break from time to time. We have always had flirty banter but it goes no further. I'm happy with you and she's happy with Cait. I think you're out of order for thinking it if I'm honest. Now get ready we have to leave"

I watch as she walks away and I feel numb. Why did I think this why would I doubt el I never have and I never thought I would. I need to fix this and fast.

As we head to the venue it's silent you could cut the air with a knife.

"El I..."

"Not now Leah please"

I just nod and look out of the window. I fucked up big time.

As we pull up there are paparazzi and crowds gathering. This is bigger than I ever thought it would be. Did I doubt my wife no but the scale this has gotten too was huge stars all over the world were fighting to get out of their contracts to join out label.

As the driver gets out Ellie gets out first she turns and holds her hand out for me to hold. As I get out she wraps her arm around my waist, she leans in and kisses my neck and whispers.

"Smile for the cameras"

Fuck. We really need to put a happy face in now. I need to sort this and as soon as I get Ellie alone I will do.

We walk the red carpet we take pictures we answer questions as the team we are we glow off each other and we're us again. But it's a show and I know it and I don't like it. As we head inside Ellie heads off to speak with some of her music friends and I find my mother and family.

"Hey guys" I force a smile which my mother sees through.

"Leah toilet" she says taking my hand before anyone can get to me.

"What's happened"

"Mum i messed up"

"You didn't cheat did you"

"God no I would never"

"Then what"

"I accused Ellie of doing just that"

My mother laughs.

"Why does everyone laugh at that." I say tears brimming my eyes.

"Le that girl worships the ground you walk on that's why it's funny. Sort it"

I nod as my mother leaves me in the bathroom.

I stand looking in the mirror I hear the door open it's Alex.

"Hey le"

"Hey"

"All okay" and just with that one question I let it go. I cry hard and Alex hugs me.

"Let it all out your okay"

We stand hugging as I get my breath back. That's when I hear Ellie walk in.

"You got to be shitting me" she says before walking out and slamming the door behind her.

"Fuck"
