Phil dropped us off then headed off to Malcolm's place. Angus walked quickly into the house and found Ellen on the couch. She was watching tv with a blank expression. "Ella?" No answer. "Ella, you okay?"

"Is Hannah?" she replied coldly. Angus glanced back at me. As if to say, 'you'd better go on upstairs'. I listened.

Nothing happened at first. Until I heard some form of yelling. I opened my door a crack, just enough to hear a little bit.

"Don't get mad at her for it, it's not her fault!"

"She's not stopping you!"

"It's 'cause I don't listen! I mean I do, but I don't always follow what she says!"

"Obviously not."

"Maybe that's not my best argument. All I'm saying is don't yell at her for what I did."

"You're not even sorry!" A pause.

"I'm sorry about what I did to you, giving you all this crap to deal with. That I feel shitty for." Another pause. "But I'm not sorry for kissing her. If that's what you wanted to hear." I gasped and put a hand to my mouth. How did she find out?

"You did it once Angus, once in 1980 and that was it! I got over it! But according to sources, you've done it countless times now!"

"What sources?"

"That's not important, what's important is that you're running around-and when on earth were you ever gonna tell me?"

"I was gonna have us both tell you."

"Oh really? When?"

"I was getting to it."

"Yeah."

"Look, I'm trying to apologize!"

"A real crappy apology Angus!"

"What do you want me to say? Tell me what to say and I'll say it."

"...I don't know. I don't fucking know." I wiped my eyes on my sleeve. I did this. I did this. This was my fault. Ellen's right, I never really did stop him, even when he broke the promise. These two were arguing because of me. Closing the door I headed to my bed. How did Ellen even find out? Did she see us? Or did someone tell her?
