"I told you to put it on silent."~Andy

"When?"~Elle

"In the car?"~Andy

"No you didn't."~I reply before standing up, going outside to talk to whoever it was that was calling me.

"Elle! Thank god."~Luke says as I furrow my eyebrows.

"You okay?"~Elle

"Kate's gone into labour."~Luke

"Oh, my-do you need any help?"~Elle

"Not from Ohio. I'll be okay, George just got home. I can't wait!"~Luke

"Neither can I, he's gonna be so precious Luke."~Elle

"I know, I can't wait to meet our little Oliver."~Luke

"What are you gonna do if it turns out to be a girl?"~Elle

"Still call it Oliver."~Luke

"Unique."~Elle

"What are you doing?"~Luke

"Being intimidated by Andy's family."~I say and he sighs.

"Told you it was a bad idea to throw you in a pit of snakes with no experience."~Luke

"I did too, he doesn't listen."~Elle

"Why don't you just ditch for a bit? Go get food or something?"~Luke

"I could do, might give Andy a heart attack though."~Elle

"Do it."~Luke

"Luke-"~Elle

"Take the risk, Eleanor."~Luke says as I roll my eyes.

"Okay fine."~Elle

"Good, okay I'm gonna go watch my child be born. Love you."~Luke

"I love you too Luke."~I reply before ending the call.

~TIME SKIP~

I walk around the mall alone, my earphones in my ears as people walk past me swiftly, all trying to get home for Christmas. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket as I take it out and see a message from Andy. Three hours it's taken him to notice I was gone. I put my phone back in my pocket as I leave the mall and decide to go back to where I was. I sit down outside of the place, my back against the wall and my feet flat on the ground as everyone starts to leave the place.

"Elle?"~Someone asks as I look over. I take one of my earphones out as they walk over.

"Where'd you go?"~Harry

"I was on the phone to my boss for a few hours so I was just walking around."~Elle

"Ah, fair enough."~Harry nods before leaving. Gullible much?

"See you later Andrew."~I hear Juliet say sweetly before she walks out of the place.

"Where did Elle go?"~Chris
