Joel's pov:

The door opens.

"Hello." I say simply.

"You are?"

"Joel Peat."

Nat's mother sighs.

"Natalie isn't here right now, you'll have to w-"

"I'm not here to see Nat. I'm here to see you." I say.

She raises her eyebrows in interest.

"Oh?"

"It's about Nat... and me." I tell her.

She keeps quiet but then breaks the silence.

"You better come in then Mr Peat." she says and steps aside.

Nat's pov:

I unlock the front door and kick off my shoes and drop my bag in the hallway.

"MUM! I'M HOME!" I shout.

I walk into the living room but stop when I see Joel sitting on the sofa.

"Joel! What're you doi-"

"Natalie." Mum appears in the doorway and beckons me into the kitchen.

She shuts the door behind me.

"He came here to make a good impression on me. He's trying to convince me that he's good enough for you Nat. We've spoken for quite a while but I still don't think he's an impressionable young man." She says.

"So...it's a no then?" I ask.

Joel's pov:

"So...it's a no then?" I hear Nat ask.

I sigh to myself, then get up and grab my bag before pulling on my shoes and leaving.

Nat's pov:

"Joel?" I ask, walking out of the kitchen.

But he's not sitting on the sofa.

His bag and shoes gone.

Great.

Joel's pov:

I run home, tears stinging my eyes.

I thought I'd get her back, I thought her mum would approve.

But she didn't.

And I'm gonna be alone.

Forever.
