Thanks for reviewing :)
"He needs some space, so leave him alone, okay?" Mike scanned around the semi circle, sending each of us stern looks, lingering particularly long on Elektra.
I took the opportunity to sneak back upstairs, without Rick noticing. I made it upstairs successfully to find my door wide open, even though I specifically remember closing it earlier. Cautiously, I took a step inside, scanning the room to find Liam rummaging through my chest of drawers. "Ahem," Liam span on his heels so he was facing me. I noticed him cussing under his breath, "this is my room; what are you doing?" Liam was at least three quarters of a head taller than me, making it difficult to look as if I was the one who had the authority.
"This is also Elektra's room," he stated, a smirk creeping at the corners of his mouth.
"True," I nodded in response, "yet that still doesn't make it your business," Liam opened his mouth, ready to hit me with a cheeky and witty response, but I stopped him, "oh and a little tip; that's mine, Elektra's stuff is over there," he grinned at me and I really couldn't resist returning the gesture.
"Thanks," he wandered across to the room towards Elektra's belongings.
"You are dead if anyone else comes in here," I stated, making eye contact with him, however he just shrugged it off as if it didn't matter. I sighed heavily, making my way over to him, watching for a few moments as he rummaged through Elektra's drawers, "what exactly are you looking for?"
He shrugged once more, "dunno, compromisin' information, ya know?" he turned to face me, pulling on a huge smirk.
"Oh I have a lot of that," I muttered under my breath.
"Wha'?" Liam made eye contact with me as I panicked attempting to stitch together a better excuse than 'doesn't matter', as if anyone believes that one anymore.
"Her diary," I bit my lip, knowing I certainly was going to regret this, "under her pillow," I gestured towards her bed.
"Seriously?" he raised his eyebrows and I simply nodded in response, "wouldn't have though she'd kept it there after last time," a smirk crept across his face as he pulled back her pillow, retrieving the small blue book.
"Last time?" I raised my eyebrows and Liam chuckled.
"Read it out to everyone, then tore it apart in the garden," he flicked through the diary, scanning over the entries for something interesting, "she's managed to repair it though," he continued leafing through the diary, "mind you, she does write some horrific poetry," he tossed the diary in my direction and continued searching through Elektra's possessions.
I caught the diary, discarding the 'horrific poetry' and flicking forward to the most recent entries. Aha! I found one written after our little conflict in the lounge and eagerly began to read.
Dear Diary,
Guess who's at the Dumping Ground, Victoria Hooper. The one who had started spreading the gossip about me and Hannah, that's what Camilla had told me anyway. And guess what's worse; she recognises me too! Well I suppose how wouldn't, I guess I practically owned that place. Bad news is she knows way too much about my past to be safe, yet I suppose I know an equal amount about hers and her stuck up snob of a mother.
Anyway I received a text from Cali saying she heard Liam was coming back. That'd be fun. Another person to constantly fight with. Then there's the fact that Cali's absolutely head over heels for him and I really really like him. I hope I don't have to pick.
Someone's here, bye.
Elektra x
The last part was incredibly 'compromising' yet there was no chance I was showing it to Liam, due to the first half of the entry. Also I never started that rumour, I never even spread it, I heard it from Camilla. Camilla! She's turning the cogs here - what a surprise.
"Found anything?" Liam asked, looking up from his presumably fruitless search. I shook my head immediately. He wandered across the room towards me, glancing over my shoulder at the diary, "what'ca readin'?"
I immediately shut the diary, "nothing," I mumbled.
Liam laughed, "since when did ya care abou' Elektra's privacy?" he asked.
"I don't," I snapped, my cheeks flushing red.
Liam let out another chuckle, "cool it," I nodded.
Suddenly the door swung open, revealing Rick standing there.
