“GET OUT OF BED!” Georgie screamed at me from downstairs.
“Nooooooooo.” I replied, it was day 3 in bed and Georgie was less than impressed.
“PARIS, NOW!” she yelled back.
I waddled downstairs about 10 minutes and multiple screaming matches later.
“You have to get up!” She said as I was walking down the stairs.
“I’m coming, I’m coming.” I said, she took one look at me and a smile cracked her tough exterior, I was wearing my dressing gown over my flannelette pyjamas and my ugg boots, I looked a treat.
“You are such a cliché at the moment.” She laughed.
I just gave her a sarcastic smile, and then Danny walked downstairs, obviously doing the walk of shame.
“Ha ha I’m the cliché? Have a nice sleep Danny?” I asked, he looked towards Georgie sheepishly.
“Have you talked to Nathan yet?” He asked trying to avoid his own embarrassment.
“No, he hasn’t tried to call me either.” I justified.
“I would talk to him if I were you.”
“Again, he hasn’t tried either; barely acknowledge I was going in the first place.”
“I’m just going to say, he isn’t taking it to well, and maybe you should bite the bullet.” Danny suggested.
“People who’ve broken up shouldn’t talk anyway, thems the rules.” I said.
Georgie and Danny shared a look, I knew what it meant, they didn’t think this was real, it is, trust me.
“So what’s going on here?” I said winking trying to get the attention off me.
There were some awkward coughs and red faces before the subject was changed, soon after Danny left and Georgie and I had a chat.
“So how you doing?” She asked.
“I’m fine, did Danny say anything?”
“Nothing exciting.” She said unconvincingly.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yep.” She answered and went into the kitchen to finish washing her dishes.
By the way she was avoiding my eye I knew she was lying...Oh well.

Normal...?
The next few weeks were hard; Nathan was rarely out of his mood and constantly feeling sorry for himself. Danny had been spending more time with Georgie and more time training, the whole team has had to pick up the training and game preparations since Nathans out, they brought someone from the bench up, Nathan definitely didn’t approve of his replacement. Tonight was the first time I’d been at home and was looking forward to a good chat to Georgie about her situation with Danny.
“Hello pretty lady.” I said when Georgie came home; I was in the kitchen cooking some healthy meals to freeze for Nathan.
“HEY, your home tonight!” Georgie said excitedly.
“Yessss I am.” I said walking over to her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“What you making?” She said looking over the food I’d made.
“Just some food for Nathan.”
“Oh ok how’s he doing?”
“Umm his ok, just feeling sorry for himself, I just needed a break for a bit, I’ll probably go back later.” I said.
“If you need me to do anything, help you out, help him out whatever, just let me know.” She said thoughtfully.
“I will thanks, anyway enough about Nathan, you and Danny what’s going on there?” I asked fascinated.
“Well I guess where kind of seeing each other...we haven’t talked about anything official yet, but over the last few weeks we’ve been going out and stuff.” She smiled.
“Oh really? And stuff? What kind of stuff?” I said with a wink, I was very interested in other peoples sex lives, mainly cause Nathan and I haven’t touched each other in nearly a month since his injury.
“Ha ha, no sexy time yet, well almost but things weren’t quite working the way they were supposed to...” She said and went bright red.
“Oh he couldn’t?” I asked being extremely nosey.
She cleared her throat before continuing, “No we were both ready it’s just we were being really awkward about it and things weren’t coming off properly, and then he freaked about having sex with his friends sister...and that was about 2 hours ago.” Georgie said going redder then I have I’ve ever seen.
“Shit Georgie, I’m sorry that sucks...” I said sympathetically.
“Eh as long as he can get over it I don’t care, I like him a lot.” She smiled.
“Good attitude...alright I better go see your idiot brother.” I said getting up.
“At least he only has two more weeks in the cast.” She said supportively.
“True, then the training starts.” I said with a tight smile.
“Yep, then you’ll have Nathan back.” She smiled and started day dreaming.
Yep, not long until Nathan is himself again...
“Hello pretty lady.” I said when Georgie came home; I was in the kitchen cooking some healthy meals to freeze for Nathan.

“Well I guess where kind of seeing each other...we haven’t talked about anything official yet, but over the last few weeks we’ve been going out and stuff.” She smiled.
“Oh really? And stuff? What kind of stuff?” I said with a wink, I was very interested in other peoples sex lives, mainly cause Nathan and I haven’t touched each other in nearly a month since his injury.

Broken Bones
By Friday all my emotions were at boiling point, I felt excited that about representing the magazine, I felt fear for not representing it properly and I felt guilt for not being there for Nate when he needed me. Nate was cool about it but I don’t know I just felt like I was letting him down...Anyway Zoe’s been good on the nerve front as well; we’ve been practicing things to say and what to keep under our hats.
Zoe and I borrowed the dresses from The Fashion Cupboard; mine was this pale pink short dress while Zoe opted for a yellow maxi dress, we both wore heels, usually I don’t like maxi’s and heels but she looked beautiful. I kept my hair simple and chose a natural wavy look (that took about an hour to achieve) I also kept my make-up natural. Zoe’s hair was dead straight and she did a really subtle colour of eye shadow.
“You look sexy lady.” I said when Zoe walked up and planted a kiss on my cheek.
“Thank you, you’re not so bad yourself.” Zoe said with a wink.
We walked onto the boat showing our press passes and gliding past, I felt so important...
The event was a success we were both on point and shared information we could and played coy to info we chose to not divulge, generally we made a really good impression, some girls there were beyond drunk it was just embarrassing to watch.
My night was going well so I made a quick trip to the bathroom to check on the score on the game Eagles game, but my phone couldn’t get any signal on my phone so I had to wait until I got back to dry land, boo.
Anyhow we docked around 11pm, Zoe was giving me a lift home as soon as we got in the car my phone started beeping, I had 23 missed calls and 9 messages to say I was concerned was an understatement. I called Danny first seeing as he was the only familiar number that had called me.
“Paris, hey.”Danny answered.
“Hey what the hell’s going on?” I asked quickly.
“uh Paris its nothing really...uh Nathan, he broke his knee.” Danny said quietly.
“What?”
“He got tackled when he was getting a mark, completely illegal by the way, and he landed on his left knee.” Danny said hurrying through the story.
“Oh fuck, where is he? Is he alright?”
“Umm his on his way home from the hospital now, and I haven’t seen him, I’m guessing his not gonna be great P.”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck....Ok, I’ll be there ASAP.” I said hanging up and briefly explaining the situation to Zoe.
I beat Nathan home but only just, Georgie and Danny were already there, so was a representative from the club and Lesley seemed to have made the trip up from the beach and it looked like she sped her way here.
“Oh Paris your here.” Lesley said looking relieved.
“Yeah, where is he?” I asked.
“His here.” Nathan said his voice coming from his entrance.
People immediately began fawning over him he looked more pained by this then his actual broken knee which had a cast on it, poor Nate. He didn’t even get a chance to relax, suddenly it was crisis meeting time, his manager and the coach were talking strategies, he’d be off his leg for 7 weeks, which was 6 games because they had a bi one week, it doesnt sound like a lot but but by the time he got back to playing and training to be fit enough again, it would be finales time and the eagles would have to get there without Nathan, which lots of people had doubts about. Nathan was extremely unhappy, and everyone was being so insensitive, it’s like they forgot he was a person for a minute and only remembered the brand, which to me is the pretty damn heartbreaking.
Sigh, I’ll post again tomorrow, I have to go take care of my boyfriend, seeing as no one else is planning on actually doing it.

Game Day
So Nathan also failed to mention his entire family was coming up to Sydney to watch his game, Georgie and I cleaned out the spare room but most of them were staying at Nathans and Danny’s because they are at the hotel anyway club rules apparently, of course I know all of this because of Georgie, Nathan and I still haven’t talked, so we managed to get Jake, Chelsea, Belle and Matt, we have like no room in our apartment for everyone but we are surviving, Nathans place had Martine (argh), West, Lesley and Brad, apparently there all going out for dinner after the game, I was asked by several people to go (just not by Nathan), so I had told them all politely that I already had plans. Georgie decided we all were going out on Friday, seeing as Nathan and Danny were already at the hotel, the older people were happy to stay in but we all went for dinner and then to a club.
We got to Mishca (club) around 11pm, it was awesome, the bar was the theme of the 70’s like an old diner, but everything else looked fairly modern, it looked so out of place that it was cool.
“So what did my brother do now?” Chelsea asked whispering in my ear over the loud music.
“haha it wasn’t just him that did things.” I whispered back.
“Hmm, ok anyway, how’s work?” She asked taking a sip of her cocktail.
“Yeah pretty good, I’m actually being sent to Paris sometime between Christmas and New Year for about three months!” I said excitedly.
“That’s awesome, congratulations!” She smiled and ordered a round of drinks on her.
Jake came and sat next to me a while later,
“So why aren’t you coming tomorrow, real reason?” He asked taking a swig of beer.
I sighed loudly before explaining, “He didn’t tell me about it, and when he did he said he doesn’t want me to come.”
“Ouch.” Jake added.
I shrugged my shoulders, “That wasn’t even what the fight was about, it was about communication.” I said using ginger quotes.
“Oh the Ye Old communication battle, Nate’s not one exactly an open person a lot of the time.” Jake said.
“Hmm I’m just trying not to think about it, it just sucks.” I said and
Jake pulled me in for a quick hug.
Then we all decided just to dance, well it was mostly me, Chelsea and Belle, we had a little too much to drink, ok a lot to much to drink...We were dancing for a solid hour without a break, every time a guy got a little close to us Matt (Belle’s husband) came over and made it clear she wasn’t available without being rude. Belle told Chelsea and me all about her Tahiti honeymoon, it sounded amazing, they swam and ate and generally had an amazing time together, she didn’t fail to mention the copious amounts of sex that they were having (STILL) either...
Just after 2am Georgie coaxed me, Chelsea and Belle into a taxi and the boys followed in one of their own.
“PARIS, pleasssse come to the game tomorrow.” Chelsea slurred.
“I want to, I really do but I can’t.” I replied also slurring.
“You and Nathan are good together, I like you Paris.” She said with drunken affection.
“Chelsea I like you too!” I said as she hugged me.
We all fell into bed, somehow Chelsea and I ended up sharing my bed, everyone woke up about 9am, kick off was 2pm but they were planning to get there about 12 which is apparently pretty standard for the first game of the season, I however was moping around the apartment feeling sorry for myself and trying not to vomit.
“Are you sure you can’t come?” Jake asked me once more as we were eating breakfast.
I shook my head to afraid to open my mouth in case I puked.
“He’d love it if you were there.” Matt added.
“No he wouldn’t, see he actually invited you guys, I was told three days ago by Danny...he doesn’t want me there and if he doesn’t want me there I don’t want to be there.” I said getting up and cleaning the kitchen from the breakfast mess, I could hear their conversation that ensured after I left.
“He is such a freakin’ idiot sometimes.” Belle muttered loudly.
“I know, he finally gets a nice girl, and he is going to fuck it up.” Chelsea said.
“I’ll chat to him tonight.” Jake added.
Suddenly then Florence and the Machines blasted through my phone, it was Nathans personal ringtone, after the wedding we had changed it, it was like our own sexy inside joke.
I walked into the bathroom and shut the door; I answered the phone on the third ring,
“Hello?” I answered.
“Paris, hey.” Nate answered there were loud voices booming out of the background.
Then it got a little awkward, both of us didn’t know what to say, I figured if he called me he’d have some sort of script to follow, like us woman when we call a boyfriend after a fight.
“Good luck today Nate.” I said quietly.
“Argh...I know we have to talk about our stupid fight, but I really need you to be here today, I know I’m a massive ass, but I really, really need
to know your here.” He practically begged, he sounded really nervous...
“Nathan I -,” I started to say but I was cut off.
“Please Paris? Please?” He begged and my eyes filled with tears at the sound of his desperation.
“Ok, I’ll be there.” I said.
He breathed a loud sigh of relief, “Thank you and I promise we can talk after the game.”
We finished the conversation then, so it looks like I’m going to the football. Sigh.

Flight or Fight?
“So have your gotten tickets to the game yet?”Danny asked me and Nate gave him very wide eyes.
“Arrr no, was I supposed to?” I asked confused, my eyes flicked between Danny and Nathan.
“Well the first game is on Saturday, so yeah you probably should.” Danny said finally realising the tension that was developing between Nathan and me.
Nathan, Danny, Georgie and I were having a celebratory dinner over our new roommate situations; we ordered Chinese and were just sitting in front of the TV waiting for the movie we ordered to start.
“Uh well I didn’t know about it so obviously I’m not welcome.” I said a little harshly, Danny was giving Nathan an ‘I’m sorry dude’ look. I got up and dumped my plate in the sink, a little childish I know. But why didn’t Nate want me there?
There was awkward whispers coming from the living room, I could hear Georgie getting angry at him in hushed tones and he was trying to explain himself in exactly the same manner, she wouldn’t let him get a word in...
I walked into Nate’s room to finish packing up my things. Nathan walked in soon after and shut the door behind him.
“Paris I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.” He said.
“Seriously Nathan, you NEVER communicate ANYTHING.” I said.
“I didn’t know how to tell you.” He said looking down.
“What, you didn’t know how to tell me you don’t want your girlfriend of three months at your first game? Well don’t worry too much your friend did it for you, like your sister told me that you were in Melbourne and your cousin told me about you growing with your aunt...there’s a lot of things that your don’t mention Nate.” I said angrily, trying to keep my voice level, I know it was a low blow about his family stuff but I was angry, and we really hadn’t communicated with each other very well lately.
“Really Paris you want to bring up things I’ve done wrong? Ok let’s get out your laundry list shall we? Hmm number 1 Brett, I warned you about him and then you’re surprised when he tried to break us up, there was Audrey all the shit she did, and your constant complaining about her...” He was really angry.
“Fuck you.” I said as I made a move to walk out of his room.
“No come on you said I don’t communicate now is our chance to start.” He said from behind as his hand reached around and shut the door.
“So what you’re sick of my constant complaining?” I yelled.
“I didn’t mean that, I’m just saying we’ve both been wrong.” He justified his voice raised.
“I never said you were the only one at fault...I meant WE both don’t communicate.” My voice still loud but I wasn’t yelling.
“Ok fine, I don’t want you at my first game, happy?” He said harshly.
“Overjoyed.” I said as I gave him a sarcastic smile and walked out to the living room.
“Georgie can we go, or do you want to stay?” I asked as I was gathering up my stuff.
“Nope we can go.” She answered quickly, giving Danny a quick kiss on the cheek and following me.
“See ya Danny.” I said just as Nathan was walking out of his room, his face stormy.
Ok so Nathan and I currently aren’t talking, and obviously I didn’t just want to hear he didn’t want me at his game but why. I really don’t care that he didn’t want me there, he probably has reasons but he WONT talk to my about it, that’s the problem, I would have been happy to sit at home cheering him on in front of the TV, but I want to know WHY I have to? Clearly there are more problems in this relationship then I thought.
“Arrr no, was I supposed to?” I asked confused, my eyes flicked between Danny and Nathan.
“Well the first game is on Saturday, so yeah you probably should.” Danny said finally realising the tension that was developing between Nathan and me.

Serious Sweetness
“Hmm I’m going to miss waking up next to you like this.” Nathan said, he was spooning me and being all cute and sweet this morning.
“It’s ok; you’d get sick of me anyway.” I said.
“Unlikely.” He whispered into my ear, and his hands travelled up to my thigh, so that’s why he was being so sweet.
“No, no, no mister, no sex today.” I said pulling his hand away.
“What, come on?” He said.
“Nope, I scream like a banshee apparently, so no sex until Danny’s not here, and your both getting up to go to training anyway...”
“Come on he was kidding...” Nate said as he was nibbling my neck and again his hand travelled up my thigh.
“Stop please.” My voice cracked and came out more like a moan, which Nathan took as a positive sign.
“Nathan.” I said feebly trying to stop him.
I gave up he was going to win anyway...;)
___________________________
“The place is absolutely gorgeous.” I said as soon as I stepped into Georgie’s apartment.
As I suspected when I first saw the outside, it was very sex and the city, it was way more understated then my Audrey’s apartment, no door man or gym but it was lovely. It was still close to my work and public transport was nearby. I’ll try to give a bit of a verbal tour, you walk into the front door (red...soooo cute) and there a very short hallway and a very small entrance way with this lovely glass table with a beautiful vase, anyway you walk a little further up and the kitchen is on the left, and on the right is a big living area, and a very large window with a little seat under it. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two were the same size and the third was significantly smaller, Georgie showed me my room, her bedroom has its own bathroom so I get mine own as well.
“So do you want to be my roommate?” Georgie asked after she had given me a tour and we were sitting down having a coffee in her modern kitchen.
“I would love to move into your apartment.” I said excitedly.
“Our apartment.” She corrected, ahhh she’s a sweetie.
“Ohh...so do you want to lay down any ground rules?” I asked.
“Uhhh nope...You?” She asked.
“Nope! Yay we’re going to be roommates!” I squealed!
“Well you can move yourself in whenever!” She said.
Then we just talked about formalities, when the rents due, the bond, the
bills all that jazz! I’m really excited about living with Georgie, she is so easy to get along with, and I need someone that I can have fun with especially after not only losing a roommate but one of my best friends.
“It’s ok; you’d get sick of me anyway.” I said.
“Unlikely.” He whispered into my ear, and his hands travelled up to my thigh, so that’s why he was being so sweet.
“No, no, no mister, no sex today.” I said pulling his hand away.
“What, come on?” He said.
“Nope, I scream like a banshee apparently, so no sex until Danny’s not here, and your both getting up to go to training anyway...”
“Come on he was kidding...” Nate said as he was nibbling my neck and again his hand travelled up my thigh.
“Stop please.” My voice cracked and came out more like a moan, which Nathan took as a positive sign.
“Nathan.” I said feebly trying to stop him.
I gave up he was going to win anyway...;)

“The place is absolutely gorgeous.” I said as soon as I stepped into Georgie’s apartment.
As I suspected when I first saw the outside, it was very sex and the city, it was way more understated then my Audrey’s apartment, no door man or gym but it was lovely. It was still close to my work and public transport was nearby.

Moving On
I stayed at Nate’s tonight, we were an extremely ‘coupley’ and ‘disgusting’ according to Danny, we also invited Georgie invited for dinner, Nate and I hadn’t both hadn’t seen her for ages.
“GEORGIE!” I yelled as I opened Nathans front door.
“PARIS!” She yelled back, she looked flippin’ hot, and I was about to find out why.
“You look really hot.” I said as she handed me some champagne and kissed my cheek.
“Thank you, you’re not looking to bad yourself.”She was just being nice, my hair was a mess, as was my face and I was really close to giving up completely and chucking on trackies.
“Haha, thank you.”I smiled.
We walked through to the kitchen we’re Nate was cooking a delicious stir-fry, god he looked so sexy when he cooked, he was all in control and his cheeks were a little red from the heat and arrgh he looked freakin hot.
“Hey.” Georgie said as she put her bag down on the counter.
“Hey.” Danny and Nate said in unison, Danny was sitting on the couch flicking channels and barely looked up.
Georgie went and sat next to Danny, when he finally looked at her, his eyes were wide with shock at her appearance; she was obviously smitten with him, that’s why she looked so good tonight.
I wrapped my arms around Nathans back while he was fiddling at the stove.
“Hmm baby that smells awesome.” I said.
“Thank you, this is kind of cool don’t you think?” He asked.
“What?” I asked running my hand up and down his toned stomach under his shirt.
“Us hanging out, cooking together, having people over for dinner, it’s awesome.” He said as he spun around.
“It is nice...wanna know a secret?” I asked.
“Hmm?” Nathan said as he pulled me even closer and kissed my nose.
“I kind of like you.” I said kissing him.
“...You go alright too.” He smiled and turned around to stir the dinner.
Danny and Georgie were laughing about something and his body was completely turned toward her, she was loving the attention, I had read enough magazines (and wrote enough articles) to know that they had some serious chemistry. Nathan dished up the food soon after and we all chatted easily.
“So why is there tonnes of boxes piled up in the hallway, I thought you got most of your stuff moved in Danny...” Georgie said as she gracefully ate some noodles.
“Not mine its all Paris’ junk.” Danny said nodding towards me.
“What? Why?” Georgie asked.
“She got kicked out...” Nate added close to laughing.
“Shut up Nate, yeah Audrey and I got in a fight, and she told me to get out of her apartment.” I said snuggling up to Nate.
“O-M-G, where are you going to live? What the hell, she’s such a bitch.” Georgie said angrily.
“I have no idea, I looked at a place today but Nathan didn’t like it.” I said rolling my eyes.
“Because it was in the worst neighbourhood ever, and the owner looked like a drug lord...” Nathan said.
“He was fine, just a little handsy.” I said to Georgie, I could see her face ticking over but I had no idea why.
“So what’s everyone else’s news?” I asked.
“Paris, you should move in with me.” Georgie asked bluntly.
Nathans face was the pinnacle of confusion at that point.
“Uh are you serious?” I asked.
“Yes, remember agessss ago I said I needed a roommate and you’d be perfect, seriously you’re clean and nice, and you won’t be bringing home random guys...” She pondered out loud.
“Damn right she won’t be bringing home random guys, I think it’s a pretty good idea.” Nate added smiling at me.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“YES! It would be awesome, argh! You should come by and see the place, see if you like it and you can decide.” She said.
“That would be really cool! Thank you so much Georgie! Imagine if we live together, we’d have sooo much fun!” I laughed.
“Ok come over tomorrow, after work.” She said.
“Finally, I don’t have to listen to your guys having nightly sex marathons.” Danny interjected.
I went bright red and Nathan just shook his head chuckling, I hit him playfully still not looking at Danny.
“Argh you’ve made her all embarrassed Danny.” Georgie said lightly.
“Oh Paris I’m sorry, but if you’re going to scream like a banshee then I have a right to tease you.” Danny said.
“Shut up, I don’t scream like a banshee, your such an ass.” I laughed.
“Oh really, I could quote quite a few lines I heard last night, ‘Nathan you so-,” He said before I cut him off.
“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” I yelled playfully getting up from the table and making my way to the kitchen.
“Ok, I’m sorry.” Danny said he said putting his hands up in mock surrender.
Nathan was laughing out our little exchange, I think the only reason he found it so hilarious was his friend now knows what a sex god he is...
“GEORGIE!” I yelled as I opened Nathans front door.
“PARIS!” She yelled back, she looked flippin’ hot, and I was about to find out why.

Homeless
“WHAT SHE KICKED YOU OUT?” Zoe screamed after I told her the story, I managed to keep it together for all of about 5 minutes after walking into her apartment and I broke down in tears.
“Yep, I’m homeless.” I cried.
“Oh sweetie, I knew she was bad news.” Zoe said handing me a shot of tequila.
“I didn’t, she was my best friend, I have known her for a long time I didn’t expect her to say those things to me.” I said sculling the tequila.
“Unfortunately that’s just what happens, you outgrow people and that is the sucky reality of life. Why do you think so many people get divorced? Look the thing is your in completely different places in your lives, you’re getting offered internships overseas and she is barely getting published, I don’t mean that in a bitchy way they are the facts.” She said.
“I know argh Zo why are you so smart?” I asked.
“I have no idea.”
“Zo where am I going to live?” I asked shutting my eyes.
“You can stay here until you find something...I’ll look after you darling.” She said sympathetically.
____________________________________________________________
That was the last thing I remember before falling asleep, it was one of the best sleeps I’ve had alone in a long time.
Work the next day, Audrey and I hadn’t spoken but I didn’t expect us to, I still needed to go and get some things from the apartment, like my bed and stuff but I’d need a moving truck, Nathan would probably help, I decided to go see him after work.
Danny answered the door,
“Ooo you look miserable.” He said in way of hello.
“Hmm, I’m ok.” I said walking inside.
“Nathans in his room.” Danny said as he resumed his position in front of the TV.
“Hey baby...” I said knocking on his door and pushing it open, he had an ice bag on his knee and was reading a magazine.
“Hey.” He answered.
“What happened?” I asked taking position next to him on the bed.
“Oh nothing much, just an old knee injury playing up, it’ll be fine.” He answered putting his magazine down and snaking his hand around my waist.
“Damn, do you want a massage?” I asked playfully.
He laughed softly, “Maybe later.”
“How was your day?” He asked.
“Hmm ok, I stayed at Zoe’s last night.” I answered.
“Why?” He asked.
“Audrey kicked me out...”
“What?” He asked shocked.
“Hmm there was a photo of Katie and her together, I asked her why, and then it escalated, we both said things and I am now homeless.”
“What? I don’t even know what to say.” He replied stunned.
“Yep, I’m over her...I need to find somewhere to live.” I said thinking out loud.
“You can move in here if you want...just until you find somewhere else.” He asked.
“uhh...are you sure?” I asked.
“Why not? We have sleepovers all the time, and it won’t take you long to find somewhere.”He suggested.
“There’s a big difference between sleepovers a couple of times a week, and bringing all my stuff here while I look for a new place...” I said.
“Yes but your only staying until you get a place...” He prodded.
“Hmm ok.” I smiled and kissed him gently.
“Good, and Danny can help me get the big pieces of furniture because he owes me...” Nathan smiled and kissed the top of my nose.
“Nathan I’m not sure what Audrey is going to do...I mean what if she prints stuff about you.” I said.
“Come on, she wouldn’t do that, you guys have had a pretty bad fight but Audrey wouldn’t do that.”
She wouldn’t, would she?
“Yep, I’m homeless.” I cried.
“Oh sweetie, I knew she was bad news.” Zoe said handing me a shot of tequila.
“I didn’t, she was my best friend, I have known her for a long time I didn’t expect her to say those things to me.” I said sculling the tequila.

She wouldn’t, would she?

How to Mend a Broken Heart
“So what he just came right out and said that I was using you?” Nathan said angry pacing around his bedroom.
“Yep...” I said realising that on reflection telling him probably wasn’t a great idea.
“What a tool, seriously if I see that guy...” He muttered.
“What are you going to do?” I asked a little concerned.
“Well, he will be getting a good talking to.” He said sitting on his bed.
“Oh baby.” I said giggling and pulling him in for a hug.
“No, seriously Paris he has no right, he doesn’t know me and he doesn’t
know us.” He said angrily.
“I know.” I answered waiting for him to get out all his complaining.
“I know the footballer stereotype, that’s not me. I’m not the guy that has sex with tonnes of girls or plays games and I am definitely not playing you.” He said sincerely.
“I know Nathan; we wouldn’t be together if I didn’t honestly believe that you were you.”I smiled adjusting myself on his lap.
“Good.” He said kissing the tip of my nose.
“Sooo where’s Danny?” I asked changing the subject.
“I don’t know, we moved most of his stuff in yesterday, god I hate moving it sucks.”
“Nate I...I’ve been meaning to tell you something...it kind of a big deal I mean it might be... I’ve been...well I have been offered an internship in Paris its-”I said speaking quickly.
“Babe that’s amazing.” Nate cut me off.
“I know it’s pretty cool; the thing is Minnie said it would be for the next 3 months, maybe longer.” I finished watching Nate’s face carefully.
“Oh.” Was all he managed to say, his eyes dropped from mine.
“I know.” I said as Nate shuffled me off his lap and walked over to his bedroom door.
“Paris I’m really happy for you.” He said fairly genuinely as he opened his door and walked to the kitchen.
“Nate I haven’t decided if I’m going yet...” I said following him.
Nathan turned quickly looked at me through wide eyes as though I was crazy, “No Paris you have to take this opportunity.”
“I want to Nate; I really do but why now? Why couldn’t this happen before?” I asked.
“Because you’re amazing at your job now...” He said smiling.
I pouted a little bit and Nathan pulled me into him his arms and kissed the top of my head, “Don’t get me wrong, I am so excited it’s just I don’t want to go now!” I said.
“Hey if you only don’t want to go because of us, we will work it out. We can do long distance for 3 months, easy.” He said still holding me close.
Tears welled up in my eyes and I buried my face into his chest,
“Hey come on don’t cry, I hate seeing you cry.” He said.
“I’m sorry; you’re just being so nice.” I said laughing which spurred on more tears; simply I was a messy little Paris.
“What did you expect me to do?” He chuckled.
“Do you really think we could do the long distance thing?” I asked my head still buried in his chest still sniffling away and ignoring his question.
“Yep I think so, it’s only 3 months, and we already expected some sort of distance with me travelling for footy, this is just a little more extreme, don’t get me wrong it’s going to suck but we can do it.”He reassured me.
“I love you.” I said meeting his eyes for the first time since this conversation began.
“I love you too, and Paris I promise we can do it, you mean way too much to me for us not to try.” Nathan finished just as Danny walked into the kitchen, I wanted to say something else to him unfortunately we were interrupted, the joys of having a roommate.
“Hey guys, ooooh, am I interrupting something?” He asked as Nathan and I broke apart.
“Nope, all moved in?” I asked grabbing an apple to munch on and pulling a stool out to sit at the breakfast bar, and lazily started flicking through a magazine.
“Yep, moving sucks.” He smiled.
“It definitely does.” I decided I liked Danny, he was very real, he was a lot like Nathan in that respect didn’t really let his money or his status go to his head.
“So do you guys want to hang out tonight?” He asked.
Nathan looked at me and I nodded and stood up.
“Certainly do, we can help you mend that broken heart.” I smiled as Danny swooped his hand under my waist and led me to the couch,
“Haha, thanks Paris, now what’s the first movie?” He laughed as Nathan came and sat on the couch, we snuggled and watched some terrible movies, my vote didn’t count because the boys ganged up on me, hmm oh well.
“Yep...” I said realising that on reflection telling him probably wasn’t a great idea.
“What a tool, seriously if I see that guy...” He muttered.
“What are you going to do?” I asked a little concerned.
“Well, he will be getting a good talking to.” He said sitting on his bed.
“Oh baby.” I said giggling and pulling him in for a hug.
“No, seriously Paris he has no right, he doesn’t know me and he doesn’t
know us.” He said angrily.
“I know.” I answered waiting for him to get out all his complaining.
“I know the footballer stereotype, that’s not me. I’m not the guy that has sex with tonnes of girls or plays games and I am definitely not playing you.” He said sincerely.
