Chapter Forty-Six

A/N: omg I'm so sorry it took me so long to update I've just been really sick and it's been difficult to write :c

(Next update on Thursday.!)

Elena's POV

I have been avoiding Zayn and Calum for the past two days. I just can't bring my self to talk to either of them. I've been avoiding Zayn because if I see him I know something bad will happen and I can't develop feelings for him or anyone. I'm avoiding Calum because once I talk to him I know I'll have to tell him the truth and what happened so I'm pushing it back as much as possible.

"Elena!" I heard a familiar deep Irish accent call my name.

I walk out of my bedroom and see Niall standing in my hallway, these guys are literally always here, don't they have a home of there own to be at?

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love these guys to death and I definitely don't want to be in this house alone now so I don't know why I'm complaining.

"Yeah, Niall? What's up?" I ask him, he holds out his phone to me.

"Someone wants to talk to you." He smirks at me. My heart drops to my stomach, if it's not Zayn it's Calum and I don't want to talk to either of them right now. I've been dodging both of there calls.

"I'm not here," I whisper to him, he rolls hums eyes chuckling slightly.

"They heard you talking." He whispers back to me. I take the phone slowly from his hand.

"Who is it?" I ask him.

"Cal." He answers simply. I knew this was gonna come I just didn't want it to come so soon, I have to tell him I just didn't think it was going to happen now.

"Dammit, Niall." I whispered harshly towards him. Even though it wasn't his fault.

He puts his hands up in defense as he walks away.

"Hello?" I say as I place the phone up to my ear.

"Why haven't you been answering your phone? I've been trying to get a hold of you but your phone goes straight to voice mail, are you ignoring me?" His tone is laced with annoyance.

"I'm sorry I-, my phone working right I-I don't know what's wrong with it." I lie. I can't believe I am lying to him, what is going on? I just need to let it out.

"What if I wanted to talk to my daughter? I haven't been able to do that because you don't answer your damn phone." He's angry. Dammit this is not good.

"Calum, I know and I'm sorry. She's with your mom right now, you can call her if you want to talk to Elizabeth." I inform him, I try to calm him down so I can talk to him without worrying about getting into a fight.

"Whatever. I need to tell you something." He changes the subject.

"I need to tell you something too." I tell him, seriously.

"I can't keep this in anymore, but I.. I uhm," he can't even get the words out. I'm starting to worry at this point.

"Just say it," I tell him impatiently, I can't take all this seriousness.

"I-I, kissed.. Alex.." My heart fell in my stomach for the second time today.

"What?" I asked in disbelief. I knew he would do this, he did it last time and he did it this time to. I should have known this was going to happen. He can't be faithful, he doesn't know how.

The tears started escaping freely by now, "You know what? It's fine." I'm fuming right now.

"What? Are you sure?" He asks clearly surprised.
