I still think it's incredible I've had this story for just over a month and we're over 1k.

I half expect the reads to go down when I look at it.

So for the 2nd time.

Thank you, thank you ,thank you.

Zoe's POV

I look around at Alex and Calum still saying hoodbye (get it).

"I love you Cal"she mumbles.

"Love you too Alex" he nods looking slightly less certain.

"Alright now get your booty on that plane" she laughs hitting his bum as he walked away.

I couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable Calum looked.

Maybe he's just a bit tense to be leaving her I decide.

He hands over his passport to the flight attendant she makes a joke and he flashes her a genuine smile.

Alex seems completely oblivious to anything that's happening.

"Hey Al, how are you and Calum?" I venture.

"Gooood...." She replies.

"Okay" I shrug.

She gives me a look.

"What just asking?"

"Why are you 'just asking'. Do we not look okay to you or something" she spits.

"What the hell was that for?"

"Nothing" she turns her head.

"Al look you know what it's like to be pregnant, you've had Freya. So you know how much I need you right now" I nudge her.

"Really I found it quite nice being alone" she says coldly.

"Well you're not pregnant now are you, so I doubt you'll remember what it's like" I match her tone.

"It's still quite a clear memory" she looks away.

"Yeah sure it is" I sneer.

Alex suddenly gets up and walks away.

"Hey where are you going?" I call after her.

"To pick up Freya, an actual living child" she shouts back.

Calum's POV

"Luke I need help" I beg.

"With what?"

"Breaking up with Alex"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex's POV

I ring the bell to my mums house.

"Hi Alex" mum smiles.

"Hey mum"

"Are you staying for tea?"

"No, I'll just grab Freya and go"

"Ahh...Freya's not her darling"

"Well where is she"

"At Rachel's" mum beams, somehow convinced this is a good thing.

"Why the hell is she there?" I try and contain my anger.

"Well Freya doesn't have friends dear, she may as well get to like her cousin"

"They're not cousins, Rachel is not my sister" I insist.

"Well I thought-"

"I have to go to Rachel's house now don't i" I shut the door in her face and walk two streets down to Rachel's house.

I knock on the door.

Rachel opens the door before she can say anything Freya rush past shouting:

"Muuuummmmmy" she embraces me in a big hug.

I swoop her up in my arms holding her close.

"What's wrong baby?" I coo.

"I want to go home" she sobs.

"What happened?"

"She locked me in a big black box" she weeps pointing to Rachel's daughter.

"You let her lock me daughter in a cupboard" I spit in disgusts.

"I didn't know" she holds her hands up in mock surrender.

"We're going home" I swivel on my heels.

Aurelia's POV

Michael was supposed to go home today but they haven't got a gig for another week.

He's going in two days time.

We're getting married...now.

We found a little chapel that said they could do it now.

I don't know if I'm ready but with Michael it feels like a one or never sort of thing.

He's supposed to be here by now.

We were due to start 15 minutes ago but it's okay if he's slightly late I guess,

I'm currently sitting on the curb in my pale purple dress.

My hairs tied up in a neat bun with two tendrils curled slightly at the front.

I re-apply a thin coating of pink lipgloss .

25 minutes, he's verging on unreasonably late.

I check my phone.

No texts yet.

1/2 an hour no text.

1 hour no text.

2 hours no text.

3 hours and finally my phone vibrates with a text.

I'm sorry Aurelia, I know we should talk but I'm on a plane back home.

My heart sinks, he's not coming.

I waited 3 hours for 4 years worth of trying and you're the one that gets to go home. Seems fair.

I furiously type.

I guess I'll have to find my own way home to the crummy little hotel I'm staying in.

I hate that I love him.

Yay that's a handful of POVs, such fun.
