WARNING: In this chapter I warn there is slight violence against one of the female characters

***Iggy POV***

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!" Ella cried as she buried her head in my chest. I wrapped one of my arms around her while I flattened her hair with my other hand.

"Peeing on a stick is so gross! Be grateful you'll never have to Iggy," She squeaked and I felt incredibly guilty for making her do something completely unnecessary. We all knew that Ella wasn't pregnant and yet she was still taking a test to prove nothing.

"Its okay, Ells. You don't have to do it anymore." Nudge patted Ella on the back comfortingly and I had to swallow the grown rising up my throat. Stupid Nudge with her stupid plans that always affect Ella and my relationship.

I was waiting for Dr Martinez to come out and tell Ella that she was pregnant, but then I felt something in my heart. It felt like it was breaking, every time I thought of hurting Ella like that. I let go of and told her to wait there while I talking to her mum.

"I can't do it to her," I told her. "I cannot let you tell her that."

Dr M turned around to face me and I saw the lines of stress around her eyes.

"Good," She whispered. "Because I can't tell her that either. She's my baby girl, I don't want her to go through that anymore than I wanted to leave Max and Fang in a room together alone."

"But you did that-"

"That's not the point."

I shook my head, smiling. "So we're not going to lie to her?" I asked.

"You were going to lie to me?" Ella's voice was shadowed with hurt."About being pregnant of all things? You are a pathetic bastard Iggy Griffith!"

Ella stormed outside into the pouring rain. Why she did this when all she had to do was walk up the stairs I do not know but at least it prevents her from slamming a door in my face.

"Ella," I yelled as I ran after her. "Ella, wait. Let me explain."

She turned. "There's nothing to explain, Iggy, don't you get that? You were going to lie about something serious. With my mother of all people. Nothing you can say will make me forgive you." A few tears fell down Ella's cheeks but I felt near to no sympathy, he comment wounded me.

"Something serious like lying about Sex?" I asked. Later on, I'll regret saying all of that stuff to her but right now, I was angry and hurt and upset.

"That was different," She defended, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Different?" I scoffed. "How in hell's bells was that different?"

"Because you knew you meant something to me!" Ella yelled before realizing what she'd said. Her hands clasped over her mouth as she began to convulse with sobs.

I sighed and walked over to her but every step I took forward, she took one back. "Ella," I ghed. "I don't understand."

"You-you fell asleep during one of her happiest moments of my life! In the moment when I realized that you were what I wanted. It was perfect and then you fell asleep!" She screamed.

"Ella, where we going to-" I stopped.

She shook her head. "No... I mean yes... I mean-I dunno! I guess it was leading to something."

"Ella, I understandthat I hurt you but you did something very wrong," I explained.

"I know!" Ella sobbed. "I know I screwed up and I know you're never going to forgive but I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sor-"

I couldn't handle the pain I heard in Ella's voice so to shut her up I did the exact thing that had gotten into this mess.

I kissed her.

***Angel POV***

"This has been the best date ever!" I giggled as I spun around. I stopped suddenly when I realized that the skirt of my dress had blown up. I smoothed down the green dress with yellow daisies on it before entwining my fingers with Ari. "Don't you think so?"

"Do you know what would make it even better?" Ari asked as he pulled me into an alleyway.

"What?" I asked as we went deeper into the alley.

Ari didn't respond though. Instead he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me fiercely.

I smirled s he pulled back. I was about to say something along the lines of 'That made it a thousand times better' when a more masculine voice cut in.

"Oi, mate! What you doing with your tongue down my chick's throat?" Rudy slurred. He was as drunk as a skunk, anyone could tell by the way he staggered down the way.

"Your chick? Uh, sorry to break it to you, pal," Ari sneered. "But she stopped being your chick when you broke her heart."

"Whoa, man, take a chill pill," Rudy defended. "I just wanna take a look at her." Rudy stepped towards me but Ari was there in a flash.

"Don't touch her," Ari snarled. When Rudy kept coming towards me, Ari shoved him.

Rudy smirked and pushed him right back.

This isn't going to be good, I thought as Ari threw the first punch.

The two boys rallied their strengths and all I could do was watch. I felt so helpless.

Ari go the upper hand, trapping Rudy in a headlock. "Still wanna mess with my girl?" Ari asked.

"If you weant bang her then, yes, very much so," Rudy smirked. Ari smashed Rudy's head to his knee.

"Ari! Ari, stop it!" I shrieked as he squeezed Rudy's neck harder in a headlock. Rudy made a gagging noise and I knew I had to stop it. Not for Rudy but so ASri wouldn't get fined... or worse.

I made a split second decision to grab his arm, don't ask why, all my training went out the window.

I dug my nails into him but all he did was released Rudy (who ran off screaming like a girl) and backhanded me across the face.

My hand reached for my cheek before I looked back at Ari, his face masked with shock.

"Ari-" I began as he stumbled back into the wall behind him and slid down it, holding his face in his hands.

"Ari," I tried again. "Ari, that wasn't you." I cautiously walked over to him and squatted down to his height. He slowly moved his hand away from his face and seeing the blood, dirt and bruises mixed together made me want to cry.

"You would never do that to me," I continued, running my hands through his hair.

"Stop it!" He yelled, making me fall back. "I need to feel guilty about what I did. It wasn't right and now you're hurt because of it. Stop forgiving me for it. How can you forgive me for it?"

"Because I know you didn't mean to! I know that you love me! I know that I love you!" I answered.

"How can you love me? I hurt people, Angel! I've done so many bad things."

"Just because you've done bad things doesn't mean you're a bad person."

Ari nodded, still slightly unconvinced, and pulled me onto his lap. He nuzzled into the crook of my neck, something he always does when he's sorry, and I felt the tears finally leave they're space in his eyes.

And as the straps of my dress became damp with his tears I realized that although the scars on the outside slowly fade it's the ones on the inside stay with you wherever you go.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in ages but I have been REALLY busy. I've had this written on my ipod for a long time but I haven't been able to write it up. I'll try to update more often but it probably won't be as often as I have in the past.
