Ellen's POV

"Carlie…what's going on? I can't help noticing you've been acting different lately?

"Nothing's going on! I'm fine!"

"I don't think you are though. You're totally excluding yourself from not just your friends but Phil too. You're always on your phone messaging someone and I think it has something to do with why Dan and Phil are letting us have the weekends off. Carlie...I think it has something to do with Joe!"

"You know I message Joe! he's a friend of mine Ellen! what? Am I not allowed to message friends now?"

"Of course you can! But why did I see Zoe retweet a fan that said they had saw you and Joe hugging in a hotel reception? That was the day you supposedly went to see a friend but you stayed in a London hotel when you live in London?"

"What happened was I went to get the train and my friend said she was coming to London instead so I rang travel lodge while I was waiting and got us a room"

"What I'm saying ,Carlie, is that everything isn't really adding up right. You text Joe a lot after he came onto you, you disappeared every sunday for a month, you don't go to Zoe's place unless you're with me, you say you're going home to meet a friend and instead end up in the same hotel as Joe?"

"There's nothing happening with Joe. But I have been lying about something…The personality you all know isn't the real me. I've been coming across as this lively, shopping obsessed girly girl who constantly wants to dress up and wear make up when the truth is, I'm a slob who just wants to sit around all day and eat junk. Yeah shoppings okay and I can enjoy dressing up sometimes but most of the time I just can't be arsed"

"So that's it then? no other secrets?"

"Nope, that's it! I'm not seeing or sleeping with Joe but now I have the weekend off I'm going to take advantage of the freedom."

"If I'm honest I will too. I won't throw myself on guys but if someone flirts with me I'll flirt back. I'm just not okay with staying in eachothers flats."

"I might get a hotel room, I can't and won't stay in the flat of my best friends boyfriend!"

"Yeah, And I can't stay with someone I almost went out with! haha"

I think I believed her now, I mean she did come clean about how she really is and stuff so maybe that was what was stressing her out and making her act weird? I hoped it was it. The last thing I wanted was for Phil to end up broken hearted over a girl again because I know how fragile he could be, I was the one who did it the first time. I can admit that to look at, Carlie and Phil don't make the greatest couple because you can see the age difference batween them. Carlie and Joe did make sense. They're both young, blonde and slim. They are practically identical to eachother in terms of music and fashion taste. That couldn't happen though, not now anyway. I'd love to see them as a couple but obviously under the right circumstances like if both of them became single. It'd be nice.

Carlie's POV

How I managed to blag my way through that I'll never know. Getting out of staying with Dan over the weekend, saying my friend came to London and Coming clean about me so that it took the spotlight off Joe I personally think was genius. The only problem now then was booking a hotel. Ellen wanted me to do it but I couldn't be in a room next door to her when I had plans to be sneaking out to Joe who would waiting for me at his place because Zoe was at Louise's. The only thing I could think of was to ask for the rooms to be seperate and hopefully they would be apart enough.

"Okay the two rooms we have left are both on the top floor, floor 5, and those room numbers are 513 and 519 so that is 3 rooms apart as odds are on one side and evens are on the other."

I thought about it for a second before finally booking it. 3 Rooms apart wasn't far from eachother, and stupidly I was paying £70 a night for me not to even sleep there, but it was the extremes I had to go to if I wanted to see him.
