"move!" I screamed pushing Caleb out of the way, running out of the door, Mason grabs my arm, "get off Mason!" I screamed, he let go of me, I ran and scanned my eyes around the room, the front door shut and then quickly closed, my breathing hitched, "Abril no.." I murmured to myself, everyone was leaving, I looked over at the clock in the kitchen, it read 11pm. I said all my goodbyes to those who were going, my mum went to bed early so I had to escort everyone. When Cacey and Daniel left (because they were the last ones) I shut the door and fell on the couch.

"I'm sorry about Caleb" Mason said walking in, "it's fine, I'm sorry for yelling at you" I said with my head in my hands, "that's not something to be sorry for" He said giving me a quick smile.

"I love you" he whispered kissing my head, he sat down and just held me while I cried, I cried until I dozed off to sleep.

"sorry ma'am,", "it's okay I get it", "stay here for breakfast, tell Tatiana I'm out at work until late tonight," "thankyou", "bye!" the door then shut. My eyes dropped and I dozed off again.

"Caleb you asshole what were you thinking?!" I heard Mason yell, "No don't tell me that crap!", "shut it, you better apologise", then quiet, I slowly rose up and waited for my eyes to adjust to the light, "Mason" I murmured, "good morning princess" he smiled walking over to me, sitting on the couch, "how are you?" he said smiling, "I'm okay" I frowned. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it, "I better go shower" I said standing up.

On the way to the shower I picked up my phone, and dialled in Abril's name, ring rinng rinngg and straight to the voice mail. I texted 10:26am Tatiana - Hey, look I'm so sorry for last night, I can explain please, forgive me.

I stared at the sent message for a while, read was what popped up after a few minutes, no typing thing nothing, I stared at it for longer, then I shut it knowing she wouldn't answer me. I went and grabbed my clothes and makeup remover tissues walking into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and placing everything on the counter, Bing! oh god that must be her, I pulled out my phone, it is her!

10:32am Abril - I will never forgive you, you knew I liked him. Thanks for breaking the friendship.

I shut my phone, rubbing my face, did she just, no. She was one of my best friends she can't, no. Please let this all be a dream. I stripped down and stepped in to the warm shower, trying to persuade myself that it was a temporary feeling, but the bad thoughts overtook the positive ones, I might not be as optimistic as I thought I was.

I knew it I started sobbing, crying loudly. The hot water running down my back, I was allowed to feel this way right. Broken inside. "Tatiana" I heard Mason say outside of the door, it was mumble, I sobbed into my knees, "Tatiana are you okay?" I heard him ask, "I-I'm fine" I sobbed, a little quieter now, knowing he was definitely there.

The door slowly opens, I was sitting in the bathtub with the curtains covering, the shower steams overriding the whole room, "Tatiana, come" he said grabbing the towel, I could see his shadow through the almost translucent curtains, I sobbed, "it's okay" I mumbled, "just come, it's okay" I heard him say.

I turned the knob and moved my way out of the tub, he had his eyes blindfolded with a bandana, his hands opened wide with a towel, ready for me. I walked right into his arms and he wrapped the towel around me. I sobbed, "she hates me Mason, she hates me." I fade, "but I'm still here" he whispered rubbing my back, taking off the bandana with his other hand. We stood there for who knows long, hugging each other tightly, until I finally said, "I'm sorry", he smiled, "you should get changed now before it gets cold." he smiled, letting me go and walking out of the bathroom.

I slowly changed into my clothes, thinking of what I could do to make it up to her, but nothing came to mind. I opened up the bathroom door and walk towards my room, I look up at the clock, 12:17pm, I looked for Mason, no sign of him in my room, then I heard the pans in the kitchen, I slowly made my way to the kitchen and saw him cooking, "Mason you don't-", "Ah! don't say anything let the chef work it" he said spinning the pan. I giggled and joined him. He plugged in the music off his Spotify onto my speakers.

It was nice spending time with him, I took pills for the brain damage every 2 days, because at night it would still pound but only slightly. We ended cooking waffles and salad and some home made pizza, it looked all so good. "Who knew you could cook" I smiled, grabbing a cherry tomato off the salad, "expect the unexpected" he said,  "you see but if you expect the unexpected, that means the unexpected is expected," I said, his eyebrows furrowed, "was that logical stuff or?" he said, I laughed and brought the food out to the coffee table.

I turned on the tv and pulled out 3 movies, funnily enough they were all Disney, "so tangled, Ariel or Frozen?" I smiled, "hm not frozen, I hate that. Ariel sounds like Abril so no. Tangled." he smiled, I grinned and put the disk in.

"aye no eating without me!" I yelled grabbing ahold of his hand which was about to grab the pizza. He fake bites my hand and I pull away, "I got chuuu!" he laughed, I rolled my eyes and plopped onto the couch. "Man do I love you" he chuckled.
