I woke up quite early because Noah and I decided to hang out together and suggested going to Brighton because neither of us had been before I mean Simon and I had talked about going but we aren't really on talking terms at the moment and Noah I had nothing to do so I thought why not got to Brighton. Noah was coming over in an hour so I had to get ready and pack some things into it, I put in a bottle of water and a few snacks for us to have I then left the bag on the end of my bed as I walked over to my wardrobe so I could pick out some clothes for me to wear for the day.

Shorty after I had gotten myself ready I heard the door open and I instantly thought that it was Simon so I was in a a bad mood "Simon I don't want to talk to you!" I shouted from my bedroom, as I looked over to my door I saw Noah standing by my d...

Shorty after I had gotten myself ready I heard the door open and I instantly thought that it was Simon so I was in a a bad mood
"Simon I don't want to talk to you!" I shouted from my bedroom, as I looked over to my door I saw Noah standing by my door frame with his bag on his back looking quite guilty
"Sorry it's a force of habit." He apologised
"Don't worry about it, it's fine."
"What's happening with you and Simon?" He asked me "sorry I shouldn't have asked it's none of my business." He apologised again to me
"It's fine don't apologise, *sigh* we argued and I don't want to speak to him I don't even know if we should be together anymore things were so much easier between the both of us when we were just friends and now all we seem to do is argue and I'm sick of it. The whole reason I left America was because I was sick of arguing with-" I cut myself off when I realised that I was talking to Noah about it "sorry." I frowned a little as I looked down to the floor
"Don't worry about it, shall we go?"
"Yeah let's go." I smiled as I picked up
my bag from my bed and grabbed my car and house keys along with my phone on the way out of my house. I then locked up my house and got into the car with Noah and we left my drive way and made our way to Brighton.

(*Time Skip*)

We had just arrived in Brighton so I parked up the car and Noah and I stepped out of the car and walked onto the beach to relax and talk for a while.
"So what exactly are you doing in London you know for your job?" I asked
"Well it's in photography and editing, I applied while I was still in America with you and I got the job I just turned it down the first time round."
"Why did you turn it down?"
"Because I thought that our relationship was more important at the time and I don't know I guess it was so I could see that receptionist as well."
"Oh right." I sighed lightly
"Savanna-"
"Look it's in the past now it doesn't matter anymore and I appreciate your honesty Noah. Just a quick question did you stay with that receptionist after I left New York?" I asked him quickly
"No after you found out I stopped it and I haven't seen her since I promise."
"I don't care if you do still talk to her it's none of my business if you do or don't I was just curious about it."
"Right so what do you want to do?"
"Let's walk along the front and get some ice cream and take some 'artsy' photos how does that sound?" I asked
"Sounds perfect." Noah smiled at me, we then both walked along the beach to find a nice decent ice cream stall where we could get the Ice cream that we both wanted.

While we were walking along the sea front with our ice creams in our hands I saw Joe and what looked like to be Zoe his sister walking towards us, Joe saw that it was me and he smiled and quickly rushed over to see me.
"Savanna it's been ages!" He embraces me with a tight but loving hug which I return to him also smiling into it.
"I know sorry I've just had some things to sort out which are now sorted." I said to him as we pulled away from each other, by that time Zoe had approached us and she was smiling at me
"Zoe this is Savanna." Joe introduces
"Nice to meet you Savanna." I smile at Zoe sweetly
"Joe, Zoe this is my friend Noah."
"Nice to meet you both." Noah says
"So what are you doing in Brighton?" Zoe asks us both with a smile
"Well Noah is now living in London and we didn't really have anything to do so I thought that we could visit Brighton since it is a nice day today."
"Oh cool, well we're just going to go for a walk along the beach so you want to come?" Zoe offered with a smile
"Sure." Noah agreed, I smiled at Zoe and Joe as we walked back onto the beach to take a walk with them both.

As we were all walking Joe came up to me and put his arm around my shoulder and smiled slightly at me.
"So Sav how are you and Simon?" When Joe asked me that question I instantly tensed up in his grip and he noticed, thinking it was his fault he immediately dropped his arm from me.
"We've been arguing quite a bit."
"Well all couples argue." He points out
"Yeah I know but we get really heated and- oh I don't know Joe." I start to sob quietly to myself, as I wipe away the tears Joe pulls me into his chest and hugs me tightly and softly which helps
"Sorry I'm being stupid." I sigh
"No you're not, look you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to but I am always here if you want to talk and if you ever need to get away for a while you are always welcome at mine day or night I'll listen to you." Joe said
"Thanks Joe, well you might as well know, I think I'm going to break up with Simon because we argue non stop and it's just tiring. Things were so much easier when we were just friends and since we have become a couple it hasn't really worked out between the both of us." I explain to Joe
"Well have you announced it to his fans that you two are dating?" Joe asked
"No we have kept it all quiet."
"And do you love him?" He asked
"Course I do, I love him so much I just don't think I can cope with all the arguments the whole reason I left America was because Noah and I kept arguing when we were together."
"You and Noah dated?"
"Yeah for three years. Maybe the problem is me." I sigh heavily
"Look Sav I promise you there is nothing wrong with you, you are perfect." Joe compliments me which makes me blush turning my face a deep crimson colour that I couldn't hide.
"Thanks Joe." I smile at him the two of us then catch up to Noah and Zoe who are both taking artistic photos of either each other or the scenery around us all.
After we did what we all wanted to do o decided that I would go back with Joe back to Zoe's, Noah didn't want to come so I said that he could use my car to get back home and I would get a lift back with Joe. Noah and I departed with a hug as he walked back to my car and I walked in the opposite direction with Zoe and Joe walking back to the house together the three of us. When we got back to the house I was attacked by Zoe's dog Nala which made me laugh I then introduced myself to Alfie before we all decided to watch a film on Netflix together, Joe and I sat together and just as the film started to get interesting my phone started to ring which made everyone jump we all laughed I then apologised as I walked out of the living room and into the hall to see that it was Simon who was calling.

'When are you coming back from Brighton I want to talk to you'
'Sometime tomorrow, I'm staying the night at Zoe and Alfie's with Joe'
'Oh right because what I want to tell you is pretty important Savanna'
'Same here, I might as well say it now because I don't think I can go on for much longer Simon.'
'Savanna what's wrong?' He asked
'I don't think I can carry on being your girlfriend anymore. I'm fed up with all the arguments it's just tiring and I don't think I can deal with it anymore.'
'But I love you Savanna.'
' I know you do, that's not the reason I am ending us I just think that things between us were so much easier when we were just friends I'm sorry'
'I'll change I'll do anything you want Savanna just please don't end us.' He pleaded with me which only made me feel so much worse and this so much harder to actually do to him
'You can't change Simon because there is nothing wrong with you to change you have no faults I just think that we are better off as friends it will be easier.'
'It won't be for me I love you I was so much better when we got together please don't break up with me Sav.'
'I'm sorry Simon, goodbye'
'No Sav please I love-' I then ended the call and wiped away my tears, I slid down the wall that I was leaning up against. Quickly I felt two arms around my body and as I looked up I saw Joe smiling sympathetically at me which was when I broke down into tears he pulled me into his body right and kissed my head softly. I had never felt like this after a break up not even with Noah this really hurt me because I do love Simon and I didn't break up with him because I stopped loving him I broke up with him because I couldn't handle arguing with the man I truly loved it broke my heart when I argued with him, and my heart was broken frequently because we would always argue but not anymore I'm saving myself from the heart ache that was going to happen if I stayed with Simon for how ever long I would've if I didn't end thing now like I just did.
