Hazel POV

"And up!" I laugh, raising Ryan into the air, he squirms and giggles, opening his adorable little toothless mouth. He squeals as I pull him back down to me, where I lie on my bed, gripping him to my chest.

"Who's the little cutest little nephew in the world? You are. YOU ARE!" I coo, he gurgles, poking a finger into his mouth.

I sit upright, and cradle him to my chest, as his eye lids begin to droop. He sighs, his tiny body relaxing against me, tiny snores begin to leave his mouth.

"Aww" I whisper, brushing his small amount of thin brown hair from his forehead. I pull his small blue baby grow around him more tightly. I watch him peacefully, when my phone rings. Blaring out my ringtone of Maps by Maroon 5. I lean over to get it carefully, as to not to disturb Ryan, I enter y password and press answer.

"Hello?"

"Hazel" James answers, muffled voices sound from behind him, he shushes someone and waits for my reply.

"Hi James" I sigh "Yes Ryan's fine, no there isn't an emergency, and yes you can take your time" I smirk.

"Okay, thanks Hazel you're a star, just thought I would check up on things. Are you home alone or is Dan hiding under your bed?" he laughs.

"Oh haha" I roll my eyes, and look down at the tiny figure in my arms. "And yes I'm alone, but knowing Matt, who is known to just turn up places, especially our door, but at the moment I am"

"Okay, I'll leave you to be alone then"

"Thanks; bye James" I groan, rolling my eyes. I put the phone down and throw it onto the cushion pile at the end of my bed.

"Your Daddy's worried about you" I whisper to Ryan who is sleeping in my arms. He stirs and squirms. "He worries about you too much doesn't he? They'll be home soon buddy"

I yawn and stretch out on the bed, laying him down gently besides me, I stroke my hand through his gentle hair, admiring each strand and the softness of it.

***

My eyes shoot open at the sound of banging on the door, Ryan is crying at my side, I must've have fallen asleep.

"Shhh" I whisper stroking my finger over his cheek, his face turns red and he shakes unpleasantly. My phone starts ringing again, I pick it up.

"HAZEL I'M OUTSIDE!"

"Oh my god Matt, you just woke me and the baby up! What the hell is wrong with you?!" I whisper yell.

"I'm sorry" he mumbles, I look up at the ceiling and shake my head.

"Apologise to him in person" I say and I hang up, I pull Ryan to me again, holding him close and whispering reassuring words to him. I rock him gently as he begins to calm down, I walk carefully down the stairs, careful not to trip as he wails more quietly.

He takes a deep breaths, and soon he is okay again, a little agitated but none the less wide awake.

I walk over to the cupboard in the hallway, I take out the key and walk over to the door where I unlock it. I open it to find Kirsty and Matt, looking rather frantic.

"Hi" I say, Matt grins at me, first to step into the door frame and into the hall. I raise my eyebrow at him and nod to Ryan.

"Oh right, hi little man!" he says, bending his knees to look at Ryan who blinks uncertainly. "Great to see you again! Sorry I woke you up"

Kirsty follows and greets Ryan by cooing at him, I hold him close to me as they pass into the living room. They sit on the sofa as I walk through, I put Ryan into his baby crib in the corner of the room when he yawns again; he falls asleep again quickly and peacefully.

"Right. So what brings you both here at 9 o'clock at night?" I sigh, sitting on the sofa on the other side of the room.

They look at each other with a satisfied, accomplished look on their faces. They smirk at me with triumph and lean back in a relaxed manner.

"What?" I ask, looking back and forth between the pair as they grin at each other. They don't respond.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on please?"

"Well firstly and less importantly" says Matt "Are you going to Billy Cooper's party?"

I sigh and roll my eyes, resting my chin in my hand as I rest my elbow on the arm of the sofa.

"I was invited...."

"Oh come on Hazel! Your first college party!" Matt urges.

"Yeah, and probably your 50th" I mock, smirking at him as he frowns and Kirsty starts laughing.

"Hey!"

"Sorry, okay fine, I'll go"

"Good, because that leads onto point two" Kirsty smiles, smiling over at Matt, in a way that looks...oddly menacing.

"So we were in the library" says Matt

"Doing some last minute studying"

"For that test next Tuesday"

"And I saw her"

"Who?"

"You know who"

"Voldemort?!" I gasp dramatically and the pair both groan, although Matt snickers slightly.

"No, you know how Josh claims that I'm a big liar and that I'm making all this up to cause drama, knowing it would be a cause for you two to break up, so that Dan takes his side?"

"Yeah?" I say, sort of bored of how many times this has come up.

"We found the girl"

"Oh right...Wait what?"

"The girl, I forgot what she looked like. Matt and I have been doing some serious research..."

"Because I know how much you want to show Josh up" Matt adds, I smile at him.

"You've found the girl the one who was making out with him?"

"Yes" she says, with a clear vengeance in her voice and an expression that makes me feel slightly scared for Josh.

"I recognised her at first, Rachel Douglas, hard party girl, she came over to say hello, goes to the sixth form down in Sandowne" Matt points out. Looking rather proud of himself, a smug expression on his face.

"She had no idea that I was with him. She was drunk herself but remembers the night, she remembers what he said to me as well. I have a witness, but because she isn't seen often and was visiting the college to see her friend, Josh hasn't seen her since that night. And if what he says was true, he won't call me such a harsh liar, and when they meet at the party she is going to mutter the exact same words he said to me 'can I help you?' and it will all come flooding back!"

"Oh my god!" I exclaim, my eyes wide "This is evil but brilliant at the same time! Didn't I tell you Matt?!"

"You did" he smiles and nods.

"But we're going to that party to have fun, so do still enjoy yourself, I just want to see the guilty look on his face, and then I will be fulfilled, this has been bugging me for months!"

Matt and I look at each other. Sharing a look that we both means: oh we know.

"Well, I'm going to head home and give her a call, sort out the final details" she grins "Coming Matt?"

He looks at me, then back at her, he squirms on the sofa.

"My Mum isn't home, the kids are at my Nan's, so I think I'll stay here if that's alright?"

"That's fine, see you two later!"

I hug her goodbye. She wraps her arms round me tight and chuckles into my ear:

"Hazel this is going to be their downfall. Don't even worry about it"

She must notice the uncertainty in my face when she releases me, she takes my hands in her own and she smiles reassuringly.

"...I mean, Josh's downfall...Not Dan's, Dan will just realise how wrong he was" she winks, then she's out the door. I watch the empty space, and then I look out of the window as she walks down the road.

Matt looks at me blankly, I take a seat next to him, breathing out as I do.

"What's wrong Haze?" he asks, putting his arm round my shoulder and holding me close.

"I just...I don't want Dan to feel guilty"

"Hazel look at me"

I look up at his bright blue eyes, he smiles at me and strokes his hand across my cheek, tilting his head slightly.

"Forget it alright? He was going to believe Josh wasn't he? Because Josh wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Maybe Kirsty will forgive him when he admits to it, but to say that she full on lied was wrong of him, and as for Dan. He should have believed you, and I know you still don't think that your relationship could've been rekindled, and that it would all fail anyway because you were both dragging it out to long, but I disagree. He is not going to feel guilty for long, he'll be mad at Josh for saying that it didn't happen 100%. But if he is feeling guilty for a while, he should be, because trust means a lot to you, and he put Josh before you"

"I get that now though. It's just not the truth"

"His fault"

"And Matt, you're wrong, nothing is going to be happen. It's all just...dead, I ended it, because it was never going to last, how many times"

He smirks, shaking his head, which moves his dark hair out of position, he pulls me into him and I curl my feet up on the sofa, so I can relax into him more.

"Whatever you say, Hazel"

-------

Short but sweet?

DUN DUN DUN

So guys, Kirsty wasn't as evil as some of you assumed huh? Or do you still think something's not right?

Anyway, sorry it wasn't longer, I'm not sure about it, so I hope it was okay!
