"What the fuck is happening here?"

Nathan and I quickly pull away and we turn to see Lola standing there with her arms folded and a furious expression. "Well?" She snaps. I gulp turning my head in Nathan's direction and he looks back at me.

"How much did you see?" Nathan mumbles. "Enough. And I heard what you said too, I thought you loved me? Nathan how could you?" She squeaks and Nathan just stays silent. "And you," She turns to me. "You have a boyfriend you slapper, why are you stealing mine?"

"Don't you dare speak to her like that" Nathan steps in front of me. "Oh defending her now are you? Acting tough? Mr 'Oh I'm in love with my stepsister'" She laughs. "All you ever wanted was sex and attention, Lola. I loved you so much but you threw it all away yourself" Nathan says.

"Me?" She scoffs placing her hand on her chest. "You know you enjoyed it Nathan. If you didn't want it, why didn't you stop it?"

Nathan stays silent before speaking. "I don't love you anymore, Lola. I love Vanessa, and there is nothing you can do about it!"

"Really? You're leaving me for.. That?" She raises her eyebrows at me, looking at me like I'm the most disgusting thing on earth. "Wow, you've degraded" She chuckles.

"Don't talk about her like that. She is so much better than you'll ever be, Lola" Nathan sticks up for me, taking a tight hold of my hand.

"You won't leave me Nathan. I know you won't" Lola replies in the most serious tone I've ever heard. "What makes you so sure?" Nathan spits and she steps forward a sickening laugh emerging from her large plump lips. "Because if you do leave me, I swear I will ruin you both. You will wish you had never been born" She smirks.

"Do you realise how pathetic you sound?" I chuckle and she steps particularly closer to me. "I wonder how Ollie would feel if he found out his precious slutty girlfriend has been sleeping with his best friend" She smirks.

"You wouldn't" I scoff. "Oh I would" She smiles evilly. "Oh.. And what about those photos from four years ago? You really were a slut back then" She folds her arms satisfied. "How.. How do you know about all of that?" I gasp.

"I know a lot of things. I have dirt on you both, leave me Nathan, and I swear I will torture you both."

And from that, Lola turns on her heels and leaves the house. My throat is dry and I have the biggest lump forming in my throat. "What is she talking about? What photos?" Nathan starts questioning with a confused expression.

"It's nothing" I quickly answer. "It must be something, she wouldn't just threaten you like that" He exclaims and I swallow the lump, pushing back the tears brimming my eyes. I thought I'd finally moved on from my past, started a fresh, but it all has to come back up on me.

"It's nothing honestly Nathan. But you have to stay with Lola" I drag him to sit down with me in the sofa. "What? Why?" He frowns. "She has so much dirt on m- I mean us. She could ruin our entire lives. You heard her Nathan, you have to stay with her" My vision turns glassy.

"Hey" He places his hand on my cheek. "I won't let her or anyone hurt you, you can trust me. We can be happy, be together!"

"No Nathan, we can't" I begin shaking uncontrollably. "Nessa, Nessa pull yourself together" he grabs both of my shoulders, shaking me as a tear slips down my face. "You have nothing to be worried about" He hushes, wiping the tears dripping down my cheeks. "Don't you wanna be with me?" What a stupid question to ask Nathan. Of course I want to be with you!
