"We have to break up" I say.
"Anna no please-"
"No not as in completly break up. Just fake it. So Stephen thinks he's won. But he hasn't" I explain to Simon and Mia.
"Anna can I talk to you privately?" Simon says.
"Whatever you have to say you can say in front of me you know Simon" Mia snaps.

"It's fine Simon. What is it?" I ask him.
"It's not a good idea. Stephen is clever. He'll know something is up. And when he realises this, he will come after YOU Anna! Not me! You! And then if something happens to you, how the hell do I live with myself?" He starts to shout, making me a bit sad.
"Well at least she's trying to think of ideas, unlike you!" Mia joins in.
"Ugh whatever! You don't like me so what are you even doing here anyway?" Simon argues back.
"I'm here for Anna. And frankly I don't care what happens to you!" She shouts.
Can they both shut the fuck up? This isn't right.

"And I don't care about you okay? So that makes us even!"
"Good! I don't want you to like me Simon!"
"CAN YOU BOTH SHUT THE FUCK UP!? I'M TRYING TO THINK OF IDEAS BUT YOU GUYS KEEP ARGUING AND IT'S NOT HELPING. SO IF YOU AREN'T GONNA STOP FIGHTING, DON'T BOTHER HELPING, I'LL FIGURE THIS OUT ON MY OWN!" I start to walk out of Simon's room, slamming the door behind me, and ignoring the calls for me to stop.

"Anna!! Wait please! I'm sorry!" Simon grabs hold of my arm and spins me around to face him and Mia.
"I'm sorry Anna" Mia hugs me, so I hug her back. We hoes gotta stick together.
"Let's go back inside. I don't feel safe out here" Simon says, leading us back to his room.

"So we fake a break up? Maybe then he could leave us alone. But we have to be extremely careful. We wouldn't even be able to talk in school. We could text, but he's very sneaky" Simon explains to us.
I sigh and lean back.
What do we do?
"The only thing I can do"
"And what's that?" Mia says.
"I have to go back to him" He stands up.
"Wait what? No! I refuse to let you do that!" I stand up.

"It's the only way Anna. I'll be safe I promise. I'll get the others to help because I know they will"
"Don't get Ethan involved into this! If my boyfriend gets hurt, so will you!" Mia shouts once again.
"I won't let him get hurt Mia! Why doesn't anyone trust me?" Simon stands up as well.
"I do trust you Simon! More than anything. But if you get hurt-" He cuts me off by walking towards me and holding my face in his hands.

"Listen. I don't want to go back to him. I'll make up a lie okay. I'll get the guys to help. They're my brothers. They'll do anything to help me. And Mia, I promise, I won't let anything happen to Ethan. Friends?" He holds his hand out for her to shake. And thankfully she shakes it and agrees.
"I'm sorry for shouting and being a bitch. I just care about Anna. I can't see her get hurt" Mia cries, I walk up to her and hug her.
"We were both bitches to be honest Mia" Simon laughs.

"I'm going to call Stephen now. Stay here okay?" Simon says.
Me and Mia sit on the couch, Mia comforts me as Simon makes the all important call. The other guys have agreed to helping us. Which might just make this easier.

"Stephen, it's Simon. We need a job. I'll work for you again okay? Just leave Anna alone" Simon says to Stephen. But I can't hear what Stephen says back.
"Okay. See you then" He hangs up and turns around with sadness written on his face.

"What?" I stand up.
"We got the job" He explains.
"And?"
"And we have to leave. Tomorrow"
"Wait what?" My heat drops.
"For the job, we have to go to Chislehurst for 3 days. All of us guys are going to go. This is the only way he will trust me"

A tear slips down my face.
"Don't cry please" He hugs me, a few tears falling from his face too.
"Don't leave me please!" I sob in his arms.
"I'll be back. I'll be safe. I'll try my hardest to keep in contact with you okay?" He tries to stay strong.
"Okay" I whisper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's the next day. And Simon and the others need to leave.
Mia says goodbye to Ethan. I feel bad not telling the other girls about this.
But I'm staying strong and telling myself they're going to come back in 3 days time.
Thankfully they believed that they're going on a lads holiday for a bit.

We say our final goodbyes.
"You're going to see me again. And I'm going to see you again" Simon hugs me.
"Yeah I know. Just please be careful. We both know what he's capable of"
"I know baby" He pulls away from the hug.
We stare into each others eyes, before pressing our lips against each other.
Again, I'm telling myself, this isn't the last time I'll be kissing him.

We pull away and I say goodbye to the other guys.
They get in the car and drive away, me and Mia watching them go.
Wishing and praying they'll come back. And everything will be ok.
