After Saturday I hadn't heard from Calum at all, I had went round to his parents on Sunday to collect Rosie but I had just missed him supposedly. It's now Wednesday and I haven't had a text or anything from him, because it's Wednesday and I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Rosie stayed with my Mum and Dad last night.

I drove into work and got there 10 minutes early, as per usual. I work at a law firm, basically I type up a bunch of reports and schedule the lawyers dates and stuff, it's pretty fun but it's not want I want to do for the rest of my life.

The day passed slowly, I was planning coming home from work and calling Calum to see if he wanted to do something tonight or really just to so him why he'd not been speaking but the day went slower than any other average day, I skipped my break and buried myself in a bundle of work hoping to make the day fly quicker but it didn't.

It eventually reached 6 o'clock, I shut down computer and put all of the files in the filing cabinet. I left the office block and went into Walmart which was right next door to get Rosie a sweet and a toy like I usually did on a Wednesday after work. I then got in my car and drove to my Mum's. I walked inside and greeted Rosie, "Where's Granny?" I asked her but she just buried her head into my shoulder

"We're I here!" I heard my Dad call, I walked through to see him holding a bottle of super glue with some smeared on his face and kneck. "Your Mum was called into work and I didn't want Rosie getting glue stuck to her and grabbing at hammers so I sat her at my feet and somehow she' crawled through into the living room. Anyway, how was work?"

"Uh...yeah, it was great I guess!" I nodded "I can't stay for long I have plans tonight but I-"

"It's ok, so do we! We were going to take the kids out to dinner as soon as your mum got back! you and Ashton are welcome to join, we've not seen him all week and we've not been able to get a hold of him is he staying at yours?"

"Yeah he was but I've not heard from him either...oh well maybe he's at Luke or Michaels?"

"Not Calum's?" He laughed which caused me to laugh "So, how was you and Calum's date?"

"Uh yeah it was lovely." I nodded

"So when is it official?"

"It's not Dad, I think we're just friends!"

"Ok, whatever you say." He laughed to himself

"Personally, I think you two are a perfect match!" Harry interrupted

"Thank you Harry." I smiled hugging him "Anyone I should get going, I took the day off on Friday so I'll pick Rosie up tomorrow instead if that's ok?"

"Of course!" He nodded

"Thank you again!" I kissed both my Dad and Harry before walking into the living room, I gave Rosie her present and chocolate buttons before kissing her on the forehead and saying goodbye.

I then got in my car and drove straight to my house, the door was lying open when I pulled up which was strange. I ran up the path and pushed it open quietly allowing myself in. I heard shouting from where sounded like the kitchen and ran in, Calum and Ashton were both standing there, faces red with rage with some blood pouring down Cal's face.

"You cannot just do that to her, you dickhead!" He yelled launching for Calum

"NO!" I screamed running forward and grabbing onto Ashton's un clasped fist and pulling him around but I was to late. The power of my pull and the power of his punch was to much, he turned around and punched me in the face instead, sending my flying onto the ground. Both of them stood in silence while I picked myself up both had a sheer look of horror on their faces.

"Are you happy now?" I said to Ashton as the blood poured out of my nose, weather he meant it for me or not he meant it for someone "I don't know what's gotten into you but you're an absolute prick." I said, standing on my tip toes so I was level with his eyes.

"Ella I'm sorry." He muttered

"I hate you." I replied "Stay away for me and stay away from Rosie, I never want to speak to you again, you told me everything was ok yet you go behind my back and do this?"

I walked out of the kitchen and upstairs to my own room, I locked myself in the en-suite bathroom and wet a piece of toilet paper and started dabbing at my nose. I winced a few times at the stinging pain but it definitely wasn't broken, the bruising though was now starting to come out on my eye from the blow and a cut on my lip from where I bit it when I fell.

Once I'd cleared up my face I changed into my pyjamas and climbed into my bed. Half past 7 or not I wasn't in the mood for anybody. A few tears rolled down my face as I curled up closer to the wall.

There was a little delicate knock on the door but I refused to open up. A moment later the bed dipped and someone sat down, "Ella I'm really sorry for what happened!" Calum said

It was only Calum, he wasn't in the wrong for any of this, I turned around to face him "It's ok, it wasn't your fault. Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine!" He nodded "I wiped up in your bathroom, I hope you don't mind?"

"Of course not, it's ok!"

"L-let's see your face." He said but it sounded like more of a question

I looked up at him and he gasped, his thumb rubbing small circles on my cheeks "Ella I-"

"Calum stop." I said taking his hands in mine "It's ok it's not your fault. Anyway, I was gonna call you tonight anyway and see if you wanted to come over and watch a film or something?"

"Sure he nodded," I sat up and let him climb in the bed, I turned on the tv and we decided to watch Fast and Furious 1. He put his arm over my shoulder so I was hugging into his side and my arm was around his waist.

Soon tiredness took over me and I could feel my eyes drooping, and soon I was left in darkness.
