Reece's POV:
I sat down on the sofa, and Fleur and Ben came to comfort me. Fleur came and gave me a massive hug to calm me down. See, even Sara knew that I would mess things up, and that's why she didn't tell me. I kept coming up with reasons it was my own fault. I knew I shouldn't have left her on her own, but I never thought that this would happen. 'I think I better go upstairs and talk to Sara, if that's okay?' Fleur asked sympathetically. I nodded. Why am I getting the attention when it should be Sara? Ben came and replaced Fleur by giving me a hug. It was kind of awkward because guys don't normally give hugs like this.
'I shouldn't have shouted should I?' 'Don't blame yourself Reece, how could you have known?' 'I knew I shouldn't have left her. Yet what did I do? I left her. I went shopping and left my girlfriend. I was probably talking to fans when she was being raped. How did no one recognise her? How did anyone not see? I need to find that guy. I need to find that guy!' By now I was shouting. I got up and was deciding on whether to speak to Sara first, but decided against it. I had just accused her of cheating and she just broke up with me. I needed to clear my head and let Sara calm down with Fleur. I grabbed my coat, and called for a taxi. I walked out of the front door, but Ben grabbed on to my arm in a protective but serious way. 'I haven't been in your place, and I really don't want to be right now, but do what you have to do, just don't get too mad about it. Sara still loves you and you still love her. Just do something to clear your head and speak to Sara later. I'm going to go up and speak to her now okay?' I just nodded, my face still red with anger and eyes still puffy from crying.
Sara's POV:
I can't believe he would accuse me of cheating. I ran up to my room, and just lay on my bed crying. After a couple of minutes, I got up and went for a shower because I felt disgusting and just wanted to be clean. I brought my towel and grabbed an oversized t shirt and a tracksuit along with my underwear before going for a shower.
By the time I got out the shower and got dressed, it had been about 10 minutes since I broke up with Reece. It was a quick shower, and I wasn't bothered to condition my hair so just shampooed it. I unlocked the bathroom door to see Fleur sitting in my bed, her hands out indicating for a hug. 'How did you-?' 'Ben and I were in the kitchen when you were talking. We decided not to interrupt and make things worse' she spoke calmly, almost like a whisper while hugging me. 'Listen, I know what you've gone through is traumatic, but are you strong enough to preform tomorrow? Because we need to tell the producers either way.' 'Fleur, the public can't know. I mean it. How vulnerable will that make me look and I don't want votes for sympathy?. I just want votes for my talent.' She just nodded, and Ben poked his head around the door 'hey you alright?' That was Ben's way of talking, he wasn't being sarcastic about it. 'I'm fine now. How's reece?' Ben tensed. 'Ben, where is he?' 'He's gone to find out who it is' he sighed. I jumped up and grabbed whoevers shoes were by the door and ran out to him. He was still waiting for a taxi. 'Reece don't be stupid get back inside, you don't know who it is and either do I so how could you possibly find out who it is.' He turned to face me, with tears streaming down his eyes. I halted, realising that I'm the victim here, he accused me of cheating and we're over.
He started taking steps towards me, and I was so scared I couldn't move. He came closer until we were normal talking distance apart. I held in my breath, and he held his hands up in defence and took a step back to prove he wasn't going to do anything. 'Sara, I'm sorry. I don't know what I've been thinking recently. I mean, how was I stupid enough to leave you on your own?' 'Reece, it's not your fault' i said as I relaxed my muscles and started breathing normally. 'But if i stayed this wouldn't have happened. Sara I'm so sorry. I can't lose you, you know that. I can't go on without you. Sara I love you. '
That was the first time he said he loves me. 'I love you too?' I said, unsure of what I was saying. He grabbed my hand and I flinched at his movement. He let go and raised his hands in the air, and I just smiled a weak smile. I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but I just got scared.
I went into the sitting room where Ben and Fleur were, and they both raised an eyebrow as to see what happened. I gave another weak smile, and then Reece walked in behind me, and smiled at me with a jewellery bag in his hand. We all stared at him questioningly, and we just tapped his nose at us. He placed it by him as he sat next to me, but made sure I had enough personal space. I sighed with relief. Well today had been a dramatic day, so much for a boring week hey?
