I woke up and rolled over, shit, jay. This is how I'd woken up every morning over the past week, I'd been avoiding him and said maybe one or two words to him, then bolted out of the room. As if on que, I heard his voice. "mum, you can't be serious." he said, I'd left my door open, so I could hear them. "I'm very serious jay." she said. "but mum." he cried. "James, I need your help, she is family, but we can't afford to keep feeding, clothing and everything for her, she is a very sweet girl and you have the money from the band." she said.

"mum I can't." said jay and I heard him start to walk up the stairs. "James Noah Carlos mcguiness." she growled and he stopped dead. "I don't ask you for anything, I let you tour, I see all those pictures and articles and I just let you be, I'm asking you this one favor." she said and he sighed. "ok mum, I'll take her with me." he said, I got up and saw jay in the hallway. "I don't need your charity mcguiness, I'll be fine on my own." I growled and shut the door.

It was quiet for a bit, then he knocked. "listen, Ellen, about last week." he said. "don't wanna talk about it." I replied. "fine, but you're coming with me." he said. "no." I huffed. "my parents can't afford to keep you here, but I can, so you're coming." he said, shit, Maureen and Noah were so nice, I couldn't do this to them.

"fine, but as soon as we get there I'm going my own way." I said. "fine by me." he replied snappily and walked away. I sighed and leaned against the door. "just have your stuff packed and ready to go in an hour." he said, I sighed and packed my stuff.

I shoved it all into my backpack and I heard jay knock on the door. "let's go." he said. I opened the door and walked out after him. We went downstairs and Maureen, Noah and Eleanor all came to say goodbye.

"bye!" I said for the last time as the door closed behind us. We got in a taxi and drove to the train station, neither of us said anything the whole ride. Jay paid then we got out and he got tickets and gave me mine.

We walked over and got on the train, neither of us saying anything. We sat next to each other and the awkward silence set in. "listen, we're going to have to talk about that night." he said. "no we won't." I replied. "yes, we will." he said. "fine, wanna talk about it? I was you at the bar, I thought you were absolutely gorgeous and instantly wanted to do you, so I was drunk and asked to get out of there, we went back to your place, which is when I found out you were my cousin and despite that I still want to bang you, happy?" I growled as I got up and walked to another seat and sat down away from him.

I put headphones in and started drowning the world out with music. "Ellen." said jay as he pushed my shoulder. "im up! I'm up!" I said quickly, I guess I'd fallen asleep. "we're here." he said. I stood up and grabbed my backpack.

We got off and caught another taxi. We drove in silence, then we got out and walked up to a large flat and he turned to me by the door. "alright listen, I know you said you were gonna go off on your own, but you're more than welcome to stay here." he said.

"there's just one thing you need to know." he said. "what is it?" I asked. "well...." he rubbed his neck awkwardly. "I have a couple of roommates." he said and I raised my eyebrows. "how many?" I asked. "fphf." he mumbled something I couldn't understand. "what?" I asked. "four, I live with four guys." he said.

"oh, so?" I replied. "oh, you're ok with it?" he asked and I shrugged. "can I listen to music?" I asked, he nodded. "can I eat?" again he nodded. "can I sleep?" he nodded again. "then I don't give a fuck, you could live with a god dam monkey, I don't care." I said and he smirked. "ones just as messy as a monkey." he said, then he opened the door with his key.

He walked in and I followed him, shutting the door behind me. "now...uhm...there aren't any extra rooms, so you'll have to sleep on the couch." he said and I snorted. "forget that, I'll sleep with you." I said and he raised his eyebrows. "not like that." I said through gritted teeth.
