I sat on the bed contemplating my life. How could she just walk out of my life. She cant do that. She's the one, the only one. I ended up falling asleep somehow. When I woke up I heard knocking on the door. I sat up and felt sick. So so sick, my stomach felt Ill, I had the biggest headache and I felt tear stains down my cheek. As the memories of last night fled back into my head I started to cry agian then I heard the Knock agian.

"Hey man, let's come out. It's time for breakfast." Said the familiar voice, its Alfie.

"Nah, I'm good." I said sitting up and running my hand threw my hair.

"At least open the door so we can talk." He said. I sighed and was about to protest but I gave up and got up. Walking to the door I felt dizzy and even more sick. I opened the door and Alfie was standing there with Joe, Jim and Phil. All the guys came. I let them all in and they gave me sympathy looks. I must look like absolute crap, I feel like it.

They sat down and just looked at me.

"So I'm guessing you all heard...huh...?" I said rubbing the back of my neck. They gave me another sympathetic look. I sat down on the chair across from them with a louder than necessary sigh. They didnt stop looking at me, it was kinda akward.

"Are you okay, mate?" Joe asked. I looked at him with disbelief.

"No...I wish I could lie but I don't even have the energy." I said looking away feeling the tears burn in the back of my eyes, I can not cry anymore.

"Mate, why did she do it? She came to mine and Zoes room crying." Alfie said. I was in shock. It makes sense, Zoes like her sister.

"She...she showed me her...cuts." I began and breathed out a shakey sigh. Everybody but Alfie gave me a shocked look as I said that.

"Then she said she didn't deserve me and she needed to figure things out. But she didn't say it would be long..." I said with the tinest bit of hope in my voice.

"I'm so sorry mate..." said Phil and all the boys nodded.

"Yeah, oh but congrats on your engagement." I said trying to look as happy as I could.

"Thanks man." He said with sorrow.

"Okay, that's enough, I kinda want to be left alone." I said standing up and wiping my hands on my jeans. They stood up as well but stopped me.

"No, it's not good for you to be alone right now, come to breakfest." Said Jim as he grabbed my shoulder.

"No I'm g-" i said but Joe stopped me.

"Nope! Your coming with me. It won't matter, you need Sun and Chloe has refused to come so she won't be there." Joe Said and it hit me. She's not hanging out with her friends becasue of me. This trip was supposed to be happy and fun. They persuaded me and we went to breakfest. We meet up with the girls and Chloe was not there. They all gave me sad looks as they ruinted with their pair. I would have told them off from the looks but I didn't have the energy.

Chloes P.O.V

I woke up to Zoe shaking my shoulder.

"Morning babe.'' She said with a smile. I looked at her and sat up.

"Morning." I said as I rubbed my face and felt all the tear stains.

"Where's Alfie?" I asked looking around.

"Hes.....out." she said and hesitated. I just nodded becasue I didn't have the energy to investigate. Then I heard a knock on the door. Zoe left to get the door and I realzied I still had Dans jumper on. Then I felt tears on my cheeks again, fresh tears. I wiped them away before she came in with Tanya and Katie. What is going on?!

As they walked in they gave me sympathy looks.

"Hey guys..." I said softly as they sat down next to me. I pulled Dans jumper sleeves over my hands and looked down at my lap.

"Why?" Asked Katie, of course she would be the one to ask that. I was kinda taken aback.

"Why what?!" I asked gritting my teeth, so I don't explode and so I don't cry. I can't belive she had the balls to ask me that...a day after!

"Why did u break up with Dan?" She asked weary. She knows she messed up.

"It's honesty nobody's business but mine and Dans." I said with a little anger and sadness. I have to admit, I miss him so so much.

"Hon, were just trying to help..." said Tayna quietly. I looked at her and calmed down, she looked at me with such a sweet look. I breathed in and sighed loudly.

"I told him I didn't deserve him and I'm just a depressing mess and I need to figure myself out first." I said looking away feeling the tears in the back of my eyes. I cant cry anymore,  but there it was. I felt 2 tears and I wiped them away hoping they wouldn't catch it. They did.

"Oh babe..." said Tayna coming over and hugging me. I hugged her back and just cried.

"Come on...come get ready. We're going for breakfast." Said Katie as she stood up holding her hand out.

"No thanks, I'm good." I said and covered myself back up with the blanket. They tried to persists me but I wasn't budging. I'm not going,  I don't feel like leaving. They eventually gave up and started to leave but I called Zoes name before she left.

"Yes hon?" She asked as she walked back over to me.

"After this trip....do you think I could stay with you guys for a little while. You see I live with Dan and I just ca-" I said but she stopped me.

"Of course, I'm sure Alfie would be okay with it as well." She said with the smile. I gave her a weak smile. I thanked her, she doesn't understand how much this means to me.

"Now get some rest...well be back soon.'' She said with a smile and walked off.

But that was the last thing I did, I didn't sleep I just sat in the dark thinking about everything and anything.
