We arrived back in my apartment early morning the next day. Since I moved in Logan has been staying at my place, it's just been easier for everyone's schedules, apart from mine.

For example, Kendall and Liam have been stopping at Mandy's for ages now; Kendall hasn't got her own place. Logan needs to film and he tends to shout a lot, so there's a lot of noise in the house, especially when Elsie's in a good mood too.

So Logan's been living here, despite me wanting to be alone.

Ever since I got back to the hotel yesterday, I haven't been in the mood to speak. I just can't bring myself to get on with anything, because in my mind I'm stuck on the care home.

I can't tell if it's a good thing that I went or not. What I do know is that it's certainly not settled my thoughts of it though.

Thankfully Logan is going out on a shoot with his photographer, Morgan, today. I can do with some time alone to get my head around things.

"Do you want some breakfast making?" Logan asked, coming into my room. He was already ready and due to leave within the next half an hour.

I buried my head deeper into the white fresh covers, "No."

"I'll make you some anyway."

"No." I snapped.

"Tia, come on. You need to eat. You haven't eaten since dinner time yesterday." He huffed.

"I don't want anything."

I heard him groan and then slam my bedroom door shut.

"Fuck off Logan." I muttered.

"Don't think I didn't hear that." He shouted.

I rolled my eyes and went back to sleep for what felt like hours.

When I woke up, it was to the sound of my phone ringing. It was Joe.

"Hi sweetie." He chimed.

"Joe." I mumbled.

"Is someone in a grumpy mood?" He chuckled.

I rolled over to the other side of my bed, "I don't even know what's wrong. Can I come up to your house tonight instead of tomorrow?"

"Of course. Jack might have to pick you up though. I'm going out with Dianne."

"That's fine."

"I don't think you're okay. You sound like you need some Uncle Joe time."

"Being in Bristol knocked me a bit. I'm fine." I pushed any thoughts to the back of my mind. It's Christmas Eve in a couple of days, I'm not going to ruin my Christmas.

"It's bound to do, just forget about it. It's Christmas Eve Eve Eve!" Joe screeched. I heard Dianne in the back ground telling him to shut up.

I laughed loudly, "Dianne's right. Shut up you weirdo."

"Well I'm going to have to shut up anyway, I need to get ready for a meeting." He informed me.

"Okay, Joe. I'll phone Jack and ask him."

"You do that, bye Tia. Love you."

"Love you too."

Joe ended the phone, leaving to sink back into bed.
