Roxy&Danny

Her P.O.V

I sat on the bed in silence, I knew that Peyton was waiting for me to start talking, she had no idea what I was going to say, and although I knew that she wouldn't go away and tell Keiron and everyone else, I didn't want her to think that she could because they would already know, because they didn't.

She looked worried, as if I was stupid enough to out and get myself pregnant or something like that, which was totally not true. I smiled over at her weakly. And she managed to smile back.

"Oh spit it out you're making me worried" She said, I knew although she had snapped at me that she didn't mean to. I looked at her even more now, her lip had obviously been bleeding, and it didn't take me two seconds to work out who had done it.

"I know that you might not believe me, but I need to know that you wont tell anyone, that you won't even talk to him about it, do you understand?" I asked her, I knew that if I asked her to keep something secret she would, but if you didn't ask her, then she would think it was ok to tell people, because you hadn't said not to.

"Of course hun, you know I wouldn't ever do something if you didn't want me to" She said, she sounded calm, although I knew that deep down she was still worried about me, and she had every right to be, she was my older sister and she was looking out for me.

"Kyle and I.." I started, and just when I was about to continue, I realised how hard it was to talk about him without crying. "We were kinda together" I said, a tear rolling down my face.

"So you have been sad because you miss him?" She asked, she had obviously forgotten all about the whole Kyle and Lillie thing.

"Yeah, and I love him, and I think I love Danny, and Lillie, and oh" I said, stuttering through tears. Peyton moved across the room to where I sat and held me close to her. I managed to calm myself down a little before talking again.

"Do you feel like Lillie should have known, and so you are angry about that, and you feel like your betraying Kyle although you broke up?" She asked, still smiling kindly at me. Somehow I didn't understand why we totally understood each other.

"Yeah, and no" I said, "Lillie didn't know about us, but she does now, but I told her not to worry because I have Danny and Kyle knows about Danny, and I just, I don't know, you know? I want to be with Danny, but I keep thinking of Kyle, and I know if I was with Kyle I would keep thinking of Danny." I sobbed.

Although Peyton held me close and made me know that everything would be ok.

His P.O.V

I didn't totally understand what was going on. I sat at the table totally confused, and I knew that the boys knew I was confused because of the look on my face, and the fact they were all snickering and trying not to laugh.

"So, you're saying we can get signed if we move to America?" I asked, I didn't understand. Basically, to my knowledge, a record company had approached us and asked us if we would like to be signed, and of course our first instincts were yes, but then we thought about it, it meant moving to America, leaving the girls, leaving our friends and families. I didn't know.

"Yes" The man in the flashy suit said to me.

"I need to think about this you guys" I spoke up, and they all agreed that we would. Dougs and I also knew we would have to talk to the girls.

I sat on the grass, waiting for Roxy, Peyton was sitting by the swings with Dougie, I looked at them and smiled, he was talking to her, and probably about the whole 'bruises and punching' thing.

I waited for a while more and then I felt her thumping her body down beside mine.

"Sorry I'm late, Kyle called to catch up" She said, I smiled at her; I loved her a lot now, more than any other girlfriend I had had.

"It's ok, and sorry, but who's Kyle?" I asked, this was the guy that she had been mumbling about, and if he or any other guy was hitting her, or hurting her, I wouldn't be able to control my anger. I wasn't a fighter, but I protected those I loved.

"Oh, he's a friend from Scotland, one of those we left" She said, looking down, she looked sad at the mentioning of his name, but not in a hurting way, more like a kind of way in which she missed him.

"Best friend?" I asked; I knew what it was like to lose a best friend, Blake and I used to be best friends, until he started the whole stealing girlfriend's thing.

I wrapped my arm around her, I was still worried about her meeting Blake and liking him better, but I didn't want to worry too much in case she caught onto it.

"Yeah, yeah he was" She spoke, picking grass and pulling it apart in a childish manner.

"Baby" I said, getting her attention as she picked at the grass at her feet.

"Yeah?" She asked, smiling up at me as she continued what she was doing.

"I was wondering if you could explain the bruise." I asked, I wasn't too sure what to say to get her to talk about it, but when she sighed, I took it as a sign that she would tell me.

"Well, you won't believe me, but my mum did that. She beats us; kicked me in the back and that's how I got it. She ruins our lives, so if she hates you, I'm sorry. Basically she blames us for our dad's death, although we weren't with him and it was a road accident, but it doesn't stop her. She doesn't care about us, hates us, and she only moved us here because she hated our friends, no matter how much she says it was a new start" She sighed, still looking at the grass.

I couldn't say I understood, because I didn't, I was just glad that she felt she would be able to talk to me.
