Natasha sunk back into the chair over come with a nauseous feeling growing in her stomach. The room was silent apart from Natasha's heavy breaths which soon grew even bigger once she began to cry. One of the men next to Mr Arnold handed her a box of tissues which Natasha excepted shyly all while still crying. Mr Arnold held out his arm in a attempt to comfort Natasha but was only awarded with a bitter glare from Clara.

"Maybe we should have a break" he suggested and with that the other officers filed out the room along with Mr Arnold. Clara sat silently next to Natasha hugging her filling the silence with whispers of encouraging words. You can get through this. We just have to be strong. You are strong and we both know that. Natasha felt he phone vibrating in her pocket so slowly pulled away from the hug and took it out her pocket. Natasha just blankly stared at the screen. The phone stopped buzzing so  Natasha just looked at the bright blue colour background of her apple phone. Funny, she thought how happy I used to be. Natasha thought back to when she changed the back drop to the blue flower pattern and smiled thinking back at the good times where things where much simpler.

She scanned the apps on her phone 5 unread texts but 10 missed calls  so she went on the phone app and saw they were all from Lucas. She rang him and he answered immediately with a hoarse voice so he had been crying.

"How are you" he said breathing heavily.

"I'm ok" Natasha answered lying through gritted teeth. Lucas out of all the people is someone she didn't want to be talking to.

"Your lying. I can tell" Lucas chuckled quietly trying to get Natasha to laugh. Natasha rolled her eyes looking starting to become impatient.

"No I'm not lying" Natasha exhaled "I'm ok really". For a few minutes they sat in silence listening to each other's breathing until Natasha spoke up. "What do you want?" She asked.

"You"

"No. I said it were through."

"Why?"

"You don't love me. We don't have a connection"

"That's not true and you know it. We are perfect for each other." Lucas said, his voice becoming increasingly louder. "Please, I need you"

"Now who is lying" Natasha said whispering over the phone. Lucas started to yell about how good they were together  but Natasha only started to cry again. Finally she couldn't take it and hung up after saying her last goodbye .

"Good bye Lucas"

"No don't do this. I NEED YOU! WE NEED EACH OTHER TO SUVIVE! WE"

He was cut off.
