-Let My Guard Down-

-Stay-

-Simon's P.O.V-

Currently, I'm trying to enjoy spending time with my family over the holiday but all I have been able to think about is what I said and did to Heather. I wish I could blame it all on the alcohol however a small part of me wanted to hurt her for what she did to me, that is one of my biggest mistakes. Also I regret turning to getting drunk every time things don't go my way whereas Heather stays strong no matter how bad things got. Christmas has passed and now was boxing day, today is always a more chilled day just enjoying each others company even though nobody wants to spend time with me as i'm in such a foul mood. 

Not including the Christmas messages I have only messaged Heather asking how she is so I could feel slightly less guilty although a text probably won't make me feel any better. I was the only one out of my brothers staying at home with my mum, the others live relatively close so they have been round each day which has been good to see them as I rarely do. They all knew about Heather and me because when we were dating we agreed we would only tell close family however I haven't explained what has happened the last couple of days so they may be expecting to see her today after I asked her in the note before we broke up. I'm hoping if they do actually remember about her coming I could just say she is seeing family.

'Yo bro did you still want to film that video today?' Nick peaked his head around the room of my room,

'Yeah if you have time?'

'Sure but don't we need whipped cream?'

'Unfortunately yes, I'll quickly drive to the shops and pick up a load'

'Cool'

After chucking a coat on I walked out the door and drove to the local shop, I was out for about 20 minutes as I decided to buy a bunch of snacks as most food at my mums was healthy. I opened the door and shouted for Nick but he wasn't the one who replied,

'Simon look who finally showed up' I heard my mums voice from the back of the house I take it she was in the dining room. I walked through still no sign of anyone, in the dining room there was my brother, his girlfriend and my mum however there was an extra person sitting around the table.

'I was worried I wasn't going to get to meet you Heather'

'Well thank you for inviting me round' 

She is here, but why? Is she here to shout at me or to try and sort things out? 

'Simon you there' I was obviously staring blankly as everyone began laughing at me,

'Yeah sorry, Heather can you come help me set up the camera?'

'Um sure' She smiles at my family and follows me upstairs to my room I waited at the door shutting it behind her.

'As much as I'm happy to see you, why are you here?'

'I was invited by you remember?'

'I know but I wrote that before everything happened so I wasn't expecting you to come'

'Well I drove up here because not only did i want to see you, I wanted to spend time with you away from everyone and see what it's like, if you want me to stay?'

'Of course'
