Authors Note: A lovely review made me want to write this, just imagine what you can do with your review!
Bethan rushed in through the front door letting it crash shut behind her, Ianto looked up in dismay as the carefully placed wreath on it shuddered and fell before falling off.
"Who was that?" Jack called from the living room where he was stringing up lights
"Bethan" Ianto answered listening to the sound of banging footsteps and a slamming door. He turned and walked towards the front room. "We really need to talk to her" he sighed leaning against the doorframe
"It can't be easy living in a houseful of men" agreed Jack "Do you think its..." screwing up his face he gestured to his stomach
"If it was she'd talk to Gwen" said Ianto, his face grimacing in embarrassment remembering the talk he had to have with Bethan a few years ago. "I'd better go check on her"
Walking up the stairs Ianto could hear the sound of muffled sobs coming from behind Bethans door. Gethan had obviously heard the noise and was sat on the floor, leaning up against the door gingerly tapping on it
"Beth..." He called meekly
"GO AWAY" she shouted back
"Come on..."
"NO"
Ianto cleared his throat and Gethan turned to look up at him. the teenager shrugged his shoulders and turned to go back in his room
"Beth, its Tad"
"Go away I want to be alone"
"I'm coming in"
Ianto opened the door and stepped inside, closing it behind him. Bethan was lying on her bed face down in a pillow.
Bethans room was small and was painted a dusky purple, and was cluttered with books. She had white shelves which held many books. Her computer was in the corner, the bed on which Bethan lay was under a circular window, and was covered in a knitted throw.
Ianto sat down on the bed
"What's the matter" He asked
There was a short pause, and Bethan turned her face to look at her Tad.
"Its... Matt"
"Your boyfriend...? What happened?"
"He wanted to..."
Iantos face furrowed
"I didn't... He said I was frigid and other girls would do it for him and if i didn't he would break up with me" She babbled quickly, her words turning into sobs "He's a bastard"
Ianto tried his best to comfort her stroking her back gently
"You made the right choice Beth, you should wait till you find someone you love."
"But I loved him" She wailed.
Ianto sighed gently, this was going to be a long night.
Gethan sat alone in his darkened room, the light of the computer screen lighting his face. clicking to Google he took a deep sigh and typed in what he was looking for
