ALLIE'S POV:
Since we'd returned to Manchester from Greenock, Tiffany hadn't been the same. I knew she missed Justin, and as much as I tried to cheer her up, nothing worked…
"Hi, Mum." she greeted me as she walked into the house from school that afternoon
"Hi, love," I mirrored "can you come and sit down please? I need to talk to you…"
"What's up?" she questioned as she walked into the room and sat down opposite me
"I've not been entirely honest with you about the Justin situation…" I admitted
"Can we not talk about him please?" she asked
"We need to." I informed her "Because you need to know the truth."
"The truth?" she inquired "What do you mean?"
"I told you that he hit me for no reason, and I lied." I admitted "We were rowing, because you'd hung up on him. I showed him the texts you'd sent me, and he got really upset. It was actually quite a shock…"
"You told me he wasn't bothered," she whispered "why would you say that?"
"Because I knew I had to get you away from him!" I replied "I was doing what was best for you!"
"You riled him, that's why he punched you. If you'd have let us talk like I asked, everything would be okay and we'd still be in Greenock and Justin and I would still be together!" she proclaimed
"I'm sorry, Tiff, love," I informed her "I really am."
"Yeah, so am I." she replied, standing up and leaving the room, making her way upstairs
Later on that evening I knocked on her bedroom door, sighing heavily as I didn't get an answer… "Tiff, you've missed dinner. It was your favourite. Come on, love, open up, I've saved you some. Tiff?
I opened her bedroom door to find her bedroom in pitch black. Switching the light on, I moved to her wardrobe and opened it, finding some of her hangers empty. Swallowing a lump in my throat, I made my way downstairs and grabbed my phone, dialling Vaughan's number…
Tiffany's found out the truth – do you think Allie's suspicions are correct? Could Tiffany have gone back to Greenock?
