**~~RECAP~~**

"What are you doing?" Matt slouches.

"I'm leaving."

"Why?"

"Because I knew this would happen." I sigh and walk towards the door.

"What would happen?" He stands up and walks towards to me.

"That I would get attached, to somebody who isn't in a relationship with me. Who's in a relationship with my best friend. I knew I would get used to your kisses along my neck. The embraced hugs I would receive randomly. The nights we would spend watching movies together. Oh heck, I don't even know why I'm crying, we aren't a couple, we won't be a couple. I knew I would get attached. To someone who doesn't want me." I look at him dead straight in the eyes giving him a cold glare.

"Elle." He stops me. I shrug him off and walk out the room.

My eyes felt glued together. The sun was streaming in from the half open window, blinding me. My body was in an awkward position which hurt my shoulder.

Great.

Today was a day arranged to sleep. I had brought my laptop with me so I had Netflix at the ready. I grab my iPhone from its socket which it was charging from and unlock it. I rubbed my shoulder during the process.

I had several notifications, mostly from Matt. Groan.

I open my snapchat to read the notifications from Matt. I had added his snapchat earlier this weekend and we had a 4 day streak. It was pretty immature if you asked me because we only ever sent mugshots of each other to each other. I groan and instantly feel my heart begin to ache.

"I miss you soooooo much princess" it read. I scowl and throw my phone on the floor. I decide to get up and take a cold shower. I get out and apply a thin layer of makeup and change into black ripped jeans and a white, oversized top.

Every few minutes I grunted. He was ruining my life! I liked him but he was dating somebody else. He had my mind fucked!

"Mom!" I shout as I yawn and walk into the kitchen area of the suite.

"Oh she went out with that Rich guy," Lucas smiles at me as he chews a granola bar and lounges across the couch. "You know, I think he's a decent guy for mom."

"Never met him." I say bluntly. As I sit down on the counter fiddling with my fingers, I felt my body ride with anger and hatred.

"Well, I have and I give him my approval." He smiles a genuine smile and begins to stand up.

"But we don't know him! and it's not like he'd replace dad." I snap. After I finished my sentence I knew I had just fucked up. I never talk about dad around Lucas i didn't want to start today.

Lucas glares at me. It felt like ages, a pair of dark brown eyes glare straight into the side of my head as I dared not to looked at my eldest brother who I had just killed all over again.

"I didn't m-mean that Lucas," I stutter as I slip down from the counter. In a way I was right. Sure this Rich guy may be nice but he would never replace dad.
