"When you going to tell me whats the matter?" Tom asked as i snuggled up against him the next morning. He was flying home that day, leaving me with Abbie. Alone, for a day.

"Nothings the matter" I reply gripping to the front off his shirt and inhaling his scent.

"Did you just smell me?" he asks looking concerned and I giggle,

"Yeah because your leaving me today, I need a reminder of you"

He nods a little "it's not long though, Abbie's still here"

I don't say anything and he frowns gesturing between us, "Is that what's upset you? Did you argue over this?"

I nod slightly and he let's out a long sigh.

“What happened?” he asked and I shrugged lamely, not really wanting to say.

“Rachel, you have to tell me, obviously it was about us getting married but what happened, it must have been pretty bad for you to not want to say” Tom asked gently, kissing the top of my head.

“She thinks we should wait awhile, apparently we don’t know each other very well.” Rachel says frowning slightly, “so I said, but I love him that’s not going to change in the next year so why shouldn’t we”

Tom nodded, as if silently telling me to continue, so I did feeling a bit bad “she didn’t like that and we both shouted some stuff we shouldn’t have, she brought up past and I said she just didn’t want me to be happy because she’s selfish, which really isn’t true”

“And then what?” Tom asked when I didn’t say anything else.

I shook my head, “nothing” Tom looked at me, his eyes unbelieving so I stood up and got out of bed. His hand caught my wrist and I froze, “let go of me” I demand quietly and he frowns letting go, leaving my hand to drop.

“Rach, tell me what else happened” he pleaded and I looked up and into his desperate eyes,

“She threw a glass at me. Which actually doesn’t sound that bad now I say it” I say shrugging, “then I called Nathan and told him to look after her."

Tom paled but nodded slightly looking concerned, “You okay? You don't seem okay” he asks and I force a smile.

"Yeah, I just need sleep" I say getting into the bed. Tom did the same and i cuddled up to him, glad he didn't ask too many questions.

Abbie PoV

"When’s your flight?” I mumble into Nathans chest and he shrugs,

“Awhile yet, you should really go talk to Rachel don’t you think.” He says raising an eyebrow and I sigh looking over to where glass previously littered the floor. Nathan had called the cleaner to tidy it up last night.

“Yeah, I should” I agree, “In a bit, I bet she thinks I’m still asleep, let’s sleep longer, I’m tired”

“Hmmmm” Nathan mumbles wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, “I can think of other things we can do”
