My Heart Will Never Be The Same Again - Chapter 17
(Ellen’s POV) Tonight we're going to meet up with The Wanted boys because they’d just got back from their most recent tour which was pretty much worldwide. Andy being friends with Max meant the groups often met up. We were going tonight, all but Sophie, who couldn’t get out of a family thing. We went to a quiet remote club in the outskirts of London. It wasn’t anything special, but served it’s purpose. They were already there, and I was greeted by 5 unexpected hugs from them all, not as good as Lawson hugs, but they were some of the best hugs I guess, they were all so nice and genuine. I was a fan a few years back so I could’ve almost fangirled, but I wasn’t such a fan now. We took our seats at the only table big enough to accommodate us all. Joel and Ryan went to the bar taking our orders, getting the first round. Me and Becca sat next to each other, but we were slowly pushed to the back of the table, so we wouldn’t be sat near Ryan and Joel. I was sat next to two girls, there was a dark skinned dark haired who was called Nareesha, she was Siva’s girlfriend, and next to her was a fair skinned blonde, Kelsey, who was Tom’s girlfriend. They were lovely, and me and Becca were so glad we weren’t the only girls. I then looked to my left to notice Nathan had sat himself next to Becca and they were having a chat. I saw Joel giving him daggers, but I could hear their conversation, she had brought up her and Joel a lot in the convo. And when it wasn’t about that, it was just general chit chat. I text Joel telling him not to worry. Halfway through the evening me and Becca went to the toilets, you know, to do those girly chats that could make or break a first date, or reapply make up and check hair and general appearance. “So you and Nathan seem pretty close?” I said, we were in total silence before that. “I’ve met them all before, I met them when they were on tour with Lawson, first time I met Joel, but he never thought of me as any more than an obsessed Goose and crazy member of TWFanmily. At the meet and greet, everyone gravitated towards everyone else but us, so I guess he’s the one I know the most, because he recognised me when we bumped into them on one of mine and Joel’s dates but if you’re suggesting what I think, I’d never want him as a boyfriend, God no!” I took a sigh of relief. I knew Becca wasn’t like that, but anyone could get the wrong impression by how easily they were getting on. “I think Joel’s getting jealous, so I’d maybe just go and clear things up with him,” She looked at me, and then though, then realisation hit her. “Does it look like…we’re flirting?” Do I answer honestly? I guess I probably should. “A bit.” She face palmed and ran out of the toilets. (Ryan’s POV) The evening was fantastic, about s third of the way through the evening, the girls joined us. I’d missed just having Ellen by my side, but it was nice to see her getting on with the other girls. I think Joel was happy having his arm maybe a little to protectively around Becca. We are all the ones who tend to get dumped, and I think it gets to his head a bit and can get paranoid about it, so I guess having Nathan there is not making him feel great. I pecked Ellen on the lips and she was sat on my lap, our fingers intertwined. We hadn’t been able to do anything to PDA ish in public, other wise we get moans and groans from the others. When we get in we’ll probably just lay in bed watching movies until we fall asleep. (Ellen’s POV) We’d just got in when everything kicked off, Becca was meant to be staying the night, before they started arguing. “He put a picture of you two up saying, “Great night, love this girl”. What do you expect me to think?” Nathan had put a picture of him and Becca from earlier when they were having a catch up and he had to go and put a caption like that, “I say I love Ellen, but that doesn’t mean I am in love with her! There’s friend love, I didn’t even know he was going to put a picture up!” She was at this point of almost crying. We’d gotten really close over these past few months and had genuinely grown to love her as a friend, she was weird at times and came out with the strangest of things, but she loved Joel, and he loved her too. “You were with him most of the evening, how do you think that makes me feel?” “You were at the bar with the others, I didn’t particularly want to interrupt, and if you didn’t notice, we were sat by the girls and he joined us! It could’ve easily been Ellen he was sat next to!” She said through her sobs. “You know what, if you don’t trust me, there’s no point me even being here, and it really hurts you can’t take my word for it.” I could hear her footsteps heading towards the door, it opened, “What hurts the most, is I love you.” And with that the door slammed shut. Joel had been in his room and hadn’t left it since. Me and Ryan were just laying watching a film, he was being all cute and were snuggled up with popcorn and everything, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened between Joel and Becca, “I need to see Joel,” I said, it would bug me until I did. He nodded, “Don’t be too long, I want so time with my Ellie-Bellie” He said puckering up. I punched him playfully, and gave him a long kiss. “Won’t be long Blondie.” I knocked on Joel’s door, he didn’t reply but I went in anyways. I just gave him one of my hugs, which he accepted. He had been crying and his eyes were red and full of pain. I gave him a sympathetic glance, “What happened, things were going great with you two!” He nodded, and wiped his eyes before speaking, “They were, it was just when she was with him, they seemed like happy, and the picture was the last straw.” I could understand where he was coming from, I sat cross legged on his bed and said, “I know for a fact the Becca loves you very much, and you are exactly the same. Every time Nathan talked about something, you would be brought into the conversation. You do trust her though don’t you?” He smiled at the fact that she talked about him all evening, “Of course I do, I was just so scared I would loose her to him, and now I have.” I thought how to reply, but I just thought what I’d do, “Well tell her how you feel. I promise things will work out, trust me,” I said, beaming at him. I left him to decide what to do and returned to Ryan. (Ryan’s POV) She came back with a smile on her face. She lay next to me, snuggling as we were once before. “How did it go?” I ask her? She turned her head to face me, “Well, he was just scared he was going to loose her, I told him to tell her how he feels, and I may have text Becca in the meantime, who’s just as upset as he is.” Ellen had such a way with words, she always knew what to say to cheer anyone up. “Good job,” I say kissing her. We broke apart and I said breaking the silence that filled the room, “I have a surprise for you in three days time!” I smiled, at the thought of the plan. The plan really needed Joel and Becca to be together, “Ideally, Becca and Joel need to be together though” I said, feeling down. The plan was to all jet off to America, we’d booked couple suites at Disneyland, and it was a surprise for both Ellen and Becca, it was would be awful if the plan was to backfire now. Everything would be perfect if all the pieces come together by the time we leave.
