After mum and dad left, I was left all alone in the mansion I call my house. I wasn't quite sure what to do with my time as i'd already packed for my trip and gotten ready for my day.

The flight isn't until six o'clock, meaning we'll get there at around two in the morning. From there, it's Logan's shoot that day and then spare from then on. We fly back early hours of Monday.

As always, my phone began ringing and I could only imagine what weird conversation I was going to have today.

"Tia, it's like really important." Lexie's voice sounded through the speakers while I prepared a snack in the kitchen.

"Is it?" I hadn't a scooby doo what she was talking about.

"Right so, as you know, I asked everyone to sleep at mine this weekend but obviously you and Logan couldn't. The others said they would but now since Paige and Josh won't even look at each other no one is. Even Jack won't and I really don't know what's wrong."

"What? Why won't Jack?" I questioned.

"Before he said he wasn't going to come to mine, Jack was at mine and Josh turned up at he door and literally demanded to speak to Jack. From then Jack went straight home and was being really funny with me."

"Have you spoken to Paige?"

"Yeah, she said Josh is still ignoring her, and the only time he said anything to her was when he called her a 'betraying cow' or something."

I stifled a laugh, "What an insult."

"I know." Lexie laughed, "But it's like if anyone has contact with Callum, that's it. It's like it's the end of the world."

"Why? When did you have contact with Callum? And why does everyone hate him in the first place?" I chopped up some salad win a frown on my face.

"Before Josh turned up, he was messaging me about you. Asking all sorts of questions that are really personal."

"What like? And sorry for all the questions."

She sighed, "First it was how you were, then it was more personal things about the care home. About your life before you came here. And I don't want to upset you T, but it-"

"About my parents."

"Yeah."

It went silent for a few moments and I stood still dreaming out of the window. I don't really know anything about my parents, only that they died in a car crash. Come to think of it, I know nothing else.

"Of course I didn't answer any of them. I told him to stick them where the sun doesn't shine."

"Good. Do you know why they hate him?"

"I have no idea. Before you came we used to sit with all of the lads like Aiden and Daniel and Callum. Even then there was tension between all the boys. Just before you came it got really bad and then when you came it was like weird. I don't know T, you're better off asking an expert like your boyfriend."

"What the fuck? I'm so confused, I'll ask Logan later though. You have fun this weekend."

"You have fun watching Logan tensing his abs." I couldn't see Lexie, but i knew she had winked when saying that.
