In My Eyes

Promises and awkward tickles

* Nathan's POV *

I couldn't believe what I just saw Gemma do to her. Elle had such a hard life and she didn't deserve any of it.

I pulled her in close to me and brought her up to my room. I don't even think she noticed she wouldn't stop shaking.

I made her a cuppa just how she liked it and went back up to her. She was sat on the bed just staring at the ground. When she noticed I was there I lay down on the bed and she cuddled up beside me. I ran my fingers through her soft hair.

"How much did you hear?" she asked her voice still shaky. "Pretty sure all of it" I said kissing her head. "I'm sorry I haven't told you yet" she sighed. "You don't have to yet if you don't want to" I said.

Her eyes started to go watery. "No I just need to let it out now" she said. "Remember our promise?" She asked. "Of course" , "if you don't want to be with me anymore I'll understand you might not want to get involved but .." , "Stop Elle, if you want to say it just say it, I don't care if you're not ready to" I sighed.

"When I lived in cork with mum and dad, they didn't get on at all and he used to hit her...." She stuttered. " He used to threaten me not to tell anyone or else he'd hurt me too". I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But he was such a nice person when I met him?? "I was so scared by it I decided that I couldn't...." She said then tears fell down her cheeks.

I could feel some beginning to form in my eyes. " Eventually my mum left and took me with her, I was brought to a hospital where they helped me and my dad got help as well but they hate each other." She said. "But you're both better and okay now?" I said rubbing the tears off her cheek. "Yeah we're fine now" she smiled. I loved that smile. I loved her.

"I get it if you want to forget about the promise" she said, her smile fading away. I held her face. "You don't realise how much you actually mean to me babe , no way we're forgetting about that promise" I said kissing her.

*next morning*

* Elle's POV *

I woke up with Nathan's arms around me. He was the first person I told that to who wasn't a doctor or therapist.

I watched him sleeping then poked his nose. "May I help you?" he asked opening his eyes. "Yeah I want a cuppa can you make me one?" I joked. "I'm not your personal tea maker I'm your boyfriend" he sassed. "Oh really? Are you sure?" I laughed. Before I knew it he jumped on top of me and started tickling me. "Nath... S..stop I can't breath" I barely got out. He leaned his head down and rested it on mine. His beautiful eyes stared into mine. I was lost in them.

The door burst open. "Woah are we interrupting something?" Max laughed. Then I realised how bad it must have looked. "We're going on celeb juice later so get the hell up and stop trying to make babies you're too young!" Jay said. Fuck he had the flip.

We laughed and got up. I love celebrity juice oh my god I was too young to watch but me and mum did all the time. The things they come out with. Mostly sexual but it's hilarious!

* later that night*

"Hello I'm Keith Lemon and welcome to Celebrity Juice! First up we have Holly Willabooby!" Keith said gesturing to Holly. "Who's on your team?"

"Well I've got the best four members of the wanted I've got Tom Max Nathan and Elle" she smiled.

"Now we've got rotten Fearne Cotton" he said. The audience laughed. "I've got the best two members of the wanted jay and siva! and the lovely Geordie Chris Ramsey" she said.

He began talking to us individually when he got to Nathan. "Does your mum know your out tonight?" He asked. "No but I say she'd be watching she's a big fan of the show" he joked. "Elle!" He said randomly which made me jump. "Hi" I smiled. "So you and Nat-han are dating?" he asked. "Yeah" I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "Are the Irish crazy is bed?" He said asking Nathan. My mouth dropped. "We haven't done that" Nathan lied. "Really? because apparently Jay got the video of you two this morning". They showed the video and I dropped my head on the desk. Everyone laughed.

"It's time to play glad you came in order" Keith said.

We lined up with little podiums in front of us. "We asked the audience questions about you, now you have to arrange your selves in order in what you think the audience said". We nodded.

"Who do the audience think is the most endowd" he said. My eyes widened and everyone laughed. I went to the last podium and everyone laughed. "I don't have a penis so I probably should go here" I said. Nathan was beside me which meant he had the smallest one. Oh god. Turned out the audience thought he did. Everyone burst out laughing. "Can I just say, I'm still going through puberty it's still growing!!" He said. "Elle you can tell us is it really tiny?" Keith asked.

I bowed my head in shame.

The show was so fun. One of the best nights ever. We got home and Jayne called us into the sitting room.

"I have news" she smiled.

"We're going to America"
