ELLAS POV
~•~•~•~•~•~•

All of a sudden I heard a door slam at the top of the theatre. I pushed Darren away from me. "Oh shit what have I done" I whispered.
"Ella I don't kn:-" Darren started.
"Darren someone saw us" I cut him off.
"What about joey? What do I do! Who saw us?!" I exclaimed.

I sat down on the edge of the stage and Darren sat down beside me.
"It'll be okay Ella" He said.
"What if it isn't" I said, I was on the verge of tears, I cared about Joey so much, how could I have done this.

Just at that moment the door at the top of the theatre opened and Joey came inside.
"Hey guy;- woah Ella are you okay?" He said rushing down the steps.
"I..ah.." I stuttered.
"She doesn't feel well, joey maybe you should take her home".

I looked up at Joey, he looked concerned "Yeah Ella, Darren you alright for a lift or anything?".
"Oh yeah man, I'm going to stay here and practice".
Joey took my arm and I stood up.

He turned to Darren and said "Thanks for looking after her"

I hopped into the front seat of his car.  I couldn't hold back my tears, I felt so guilty, who knew?, we could say it was for the play, but I'm sure it was pretty damn obvious it wasn't.

Joey hopped into the drivers seat, he saw me in floods of tears.
"Don't worry El, it's okay".
I stayed quiet.
"I have a feeling this is more than just you feeling sick".
"Just please take me home Joey".

We pulled up at my building. I hopped out of the car, joey brought me up to my room. I unlocked the door and went inside. Joey followed me in, "Do you want water or something... or to talk?".
"Youre too good to me Joey".
"You deserve it Ella".

He sat beside me on my bed and put his arm around me.

I rested my head in his shoulder. All I felt was guilt. I shut my eyes tight. I felt myself drift off in his arms.

When I woke up joey was passed out on my bed with his arm still around me. I looked at my phone and it was 11pm. I noticed I had a text from Darren. 

Hey, Hope you're alright,
Text me when you can x

I typed a quick reply to him. 

Hey, sorry for freaking out
Earlier. I'm just really worried.

I put my phone down and tried to move away from Joey without waking him up, but it was unsuccessful as he woke straight away.
"Hello" he yawned "How're you feeling now?".
"Oh yeah.. I'm great feeling much better" I lied.
"Thank god Ella, you had me worried".
I slightly smiled.

"Are you sure everything's okay?".
"Its fine, don't worry about it".

"It's 11, I guess I should go" he said standing up.
"No" I said quickly "I mean you can stay if you want". I wanted to be with him.
"Yeah Ella, that would be great".
