"To be completely honest, I understand why Bayley hates me. I was a total bully before I met you princess." Becky pressed a kiss to my forehead as she shuffled closer to me. "She already told me, why her though?" A tiny look of panic flashed across her face, which you wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't look at her the way I look at her. "Uh, I don't know really. I'd barely just moved here and I felt like I needed to fit in with people like Dean and Sasha so I modded to the role of university bully. I didn't pick Bayley, she just happened to be an easy target so obviously I took it." There was a glint of a smile on her face when I intertwined our hands together. "I get it, you probably thought I as an easy target too. It's not everyday you find a boy who's completely obsessed with everything outside of the typical boy stereotype." She blinked at me, her mouth open a little. "What? I would never bully you! Oh and while I remember I've 100 quid here, now all I've got left to pay is 3,900!" She took her hand away from mine as she rummaged through her bag eventually pulling out a wad of cash. "Where did you get this?" I asked as she counted through the money. "I just got paid and the credit card transaction wasn't working, Dean give it to me in cash instead."

Becky
Every single lie is making the guilt on my chest grow stronger, it's only going to be a matter of time before Seth notices something is up and starts asking loads of question that I might not be able to answer. "Becky I'm ready to go home now if you want." I looked up at him and I nodded, as I clicked onto my phone settings. I clicked on the ringtones and I wanted the floor to swallow me up as I pretended my phone was ringing. "Seth I'm really sorry I've got to go, call Roman and text me when you're home." I held the phone to my ear as I rushed out of his hospital room, barely having enough breath left it my chest to make it down the corridor.

A text lit up my phone screen as I stumbled into the car park. "Tick tock, I haven't got forever Becky! Today or tomorrow choose carefully." I got in my car and I just drove, needing to find some place quiet to just be alone, desperately wanting to find a lay-by so I could just scream until my lungs burn because I don't want to hurt him but I have no choice, He's not going to believe me if I tell him that not everything was a lie and that I genuinely am falling for him.

"Fuck!" I screamed as the tears started to build in the corner of my eyes. I didn't even have anyone to blame, Sasha made the bet but I took it and I refused to pull out when I had the chance. I should've never come to this university, maybe I should've just stayed at home and listened to my parents when they told me to jump.

Roman helped me get home and I knew something was off with Becky, I could see the settings open in her phone and I could see that nobody was ringing her so why bother lying to me. If she didn't want to take me home ten she should've just said, I wouldn't have been mad, I'm never mad especially not at her but I just wish she didn't lie to me.

Maybe it was Bayley, maybe her harsh protective voice scared Becky off a bit, perhaps where she actually got this money is what is really the issue here. It's probably my fault that I made her lie and run away, maybe I was being a bit too full one. I don't know?

She told me to text her once we got home, but as I carefully made my way into my room, sinking down into the soft sheets I decided to ring her instead. The phone rung several times before she answered. "Becky, I'm home. I just thought I'd ring you because I miss you." I could hear sniffling down the line as I waited for her response. "I'm sorry..." She cried out and my heart instantly sunk to the floor, causing me to sit up a little straighter. "You haven't got anything to be sorry for Becky, I understand that I'm not the only thing happening in your life right now. Why don't you come round to mine?" I heard the faint echo of a sob, as the radio played in the background. "No! I have everything to be sorry for, you just don't know it yet." She sobbed and I started to bite my nails nervously as I put her on speaker phone. "Becky please, whatever is going on please just come to mine and we can talk about this!" I heard her shakily exhale as she hung up the phone. "Becky!" I shouted at my phone but she just cut me off.

"Seth?" Roman walked into my room and he could see the distress on my face. "Who was that?" He pointed at my phone and I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to stop the tears from falling. "It was Becky, I can't help but think she's done something stupid. She was just sobbing down the line and it sounded like she was in a car, she said she had everything to be sorry for and I can't help but fear~" Roman knew what I was about to say so he cut me off. "Like you told me earlier, Bayley has probably just gotten into her head. I'll take Charlotte and we'll go look for her, you stay here and let me know if she arrives." Roman said reassuringly as he rushed out of the door, the apartment door slamming shut not long after.

I spotted a piece of paper on my desk, one that wasn't there before so I got up and grabbed it. I saw the tattoo I'd always wanted, exactly the way I wanted it with Becky's name scribbled on the bottom. I lifted it carefully, as though it would shred if I was anything but gentle with it. I sat back down onto my bed and I looked at all the pretty colours, it was like Becky had pulled this straight out of my head. It was perfect, but what if she never gets to tattoo it on me, what if I've missed my chance with her, what if I didn't do enough! What if I never get the chance to put things right...
