Y/n Pov

Me and Carl have been together for five years now. We got together when he was 17 and I was 15. It's been the best years of my life. Safe to say, we've had our ups and downs, but we always got through it. Even when sometimes, i wasn't sure we would

"What's wrong?" Carl asked as I lay awake in my bed. I live above the jockey, being the sister of Karen maguire.

"Nothing," I lied, continuing to look up at the ceiling. Carl had his arm around me and his head on my bare chest as I ran my fingers through his hair gently

He scoffed, "it's obviously something."

I remained silent for a few more seconds before sighing. I gently pushed Carl off me and sat up against the head board. "You know when I said that I was going away for the weekend for a hen party down south? Well, I lied."

"Are you cheating on me?"

"What? No, don't be ridiculous. I actually went away because I had a job interview and I wanted to get there the night before so I knew I wouldn't be late," I finally admitted, refusing to meet his eye

Carl seemed confused and to be honest, I can understand why. He asked, "why didn't you just tell me?"

"Because I didn't even know if I would get the job. It didn't seem worth mentioning and I would've just been embarrassed if it didn't work out."

He grinned suddenly, "so you got it then? You're telling me because you got it?"

"Yes Carl, I got the job. Its a role as an assistant producer for a new film franchise. I know it doesn't sound like much but it's a start."

He suddenly kissed me, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear

"It's amazing. Im so proud." He began to kiss down my neck. And for a moment, I almost considered telling him the negatives. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. Not when he's this proud of me. So, we had a night of passion and love, a night which I feared could be one of the last

The next day, I woke up early. Carl was still asleep. Kissing his cheek, I then went and got some breakfast

"Morning. Someone had a good night," Karen grinned

"Sorry about that. You guys should really invest in some thicker walls," I suggested. They must've heared me. She, Jamie and Connie were eating their fry up as I sat down and buried my head in my hands

"You don't look over the moon. I assumed it went well, you know, telling him the news," Jamie said

"I never got to the bad news. Just the good news."

"It's all good news!" Karen scolded me, handing me a plate of food but I could hardly eat.

I rolled my eyes. "It's not all good news. I'm gonna have to move, and what if he doesn't want to move with me? I can't expect him to give up everything. His family is here."

"You have to tell him. You never know. He could be grateful for a chance to leave this shithole," Jamie shrugged but I wasn't convinced

"Morning," Carl said, coming in. I put on a smile as he bent down to kiss me and then sat opposite me, next to Connor

"Morning love. Coffee?" Karen asked

"Please. Hey, has she told you the good news?"

"Ye, a new job, we're very proud," Jamie said, raising his eyebrows at me. That only added to my guilt

After breakfast, me and Carl went to go and take a shower. As he was washing my back, I plucked up the courage to tell him. After all, not like he was in a position to storm out
