-Let My Guard Down-

-Truth-

-Heather's P.O.V-

The room was silent, nobody knew what to say. Simon was still giving Josh the death glare so i decided to break the awkwardness, i walked towards Josh but Simon grabbing my wrist to suggest me not getting involved in the fight which was difficult to do; nodding my head to reassure that i'll be fine,

'What does he mean by again' i asked seriously,

'nothing he doesn-' Josh shook his head and attempted to hold my hand when he was interrupted by Simons shouting,

'Tell her the truth or i will and don't lay a fucking finger on her!' Simon fiercely shouts, i turned towards Si quietly saying,

'Simon just calm down for one second, please' he noticed the sadness in my voice so him as well a the rest of the guys took a step back.

'Just tell me the truth, for once' looking back at Josh,

'Heather you know that you mean everth-' he starts,

'Josh i asked the truth, not some sappy story'

'But that is the truth'

'I want the truth about whoever this girl is, now' i demand,

'She is just some girl i have known for a while that thinks that us hanging out means we are dating.' i shake my head already knowing that it is a lie.

Simon sees the pain in my eyes, grabs my hand and leads me upstairs to his room leaving the sound of Josh repeating my name and arguing with Ethan. We both entered his room neither of us knowing what to say, he instantly hugs me not sure what to do because he hasn't seen me upset before. He let go but leaving his hands on my waist seeing me stand frozen with no emotion shown on my face,

'Heather, you ok?' Really what is the need for asking that question because i'm obviously not. However it's not the fact Josh cheated or lied but i wasn't good enough, he had to see someone behind my back whilst pretending he was still perfectly happy being with me and i didn't even realize.

Ignoring Si i fell down on the bed shutting my eyes not knowing what to do with myself. I could hear Simon moving around me and then sitting beside me, he then coughed distinctly trying to get me to sit up.

'Heather, come on this is the only way i know to cheer you up' he whines putting what felt like a laptop on my lap. I gave in the end and sighed looking at what was on the screen, there was my favourite films and tv programs on the laptop, smiling at him at his way to cheer me up as he pressed play.

*Early into the morning*

I had fallen asleep next to Si whilst watching various films and series, I had fallen asleep about 4 hours ago so now it was around 7 in the morning. Simon has only just fallen asleep because of his strange sleeping pattern so i decided to get out the house with no interruptions. Quickly brushing my hair and putting it up in a bun, washing my face i slowly walked back down the stairs. Reaching the second floor i began to hear noises from Josh's room, my first thought was maybe he is recording videos or something; i desperately wanted to speak to him without Simon being around to comment. Pausing outside his room processing what i was going to say and what has happened in the last night. Opening the door slightly to see if Josh was recording but he wasn't sat at his desk where he normally would be as well as the noises obvious and that it wasn't just one voice but two.

Maybe it could get far worse.
