Sean was back. He had spent a few weeks in Ireland, getting more treatment and telling his family everything that went on. They begged and pleaded for him to stay, but something was pulling him back. Was it Ellie? Was it Charlie? He couldn't figure it out. They both probably moved on and made new friends. But he had to come back.
After getting out of the airport, he immediately made his way to a Starbucks. It was common for him to be found there. He loved all sorts of coffee and drinks, so the first thing he did when he was back in the states was get a cup of coffee in the Starbucks right near his home.
It was still his home, with most of his stuff still in it. No one really questioned where he went or if he was coming back, so he knew this would sort of be a surprise. He was ready for everyone to be a little shocked to see him. What he wasn't ready for was to be approached by a familiar face as he sipped on his coffee.

Ellie walked into Starbucks and went to straight to the counter to order her usual. Wearing tight skinny jeans and a black tank top with a scarf wrapped casually around her neck, Ellie was placing her designer sunglasses into her bag when she saw a familiar face in the corner of her eye. Sean. She froze. Grabbing her now finished coffee, she gripped on it wondering if she should approach him.
After a few minutes of motivating herself she walked over to his table. The tap of her heels giving away her approach. He looked up at her and she smiled slightly. At this moment, Ellie was very glad that she had just been to the hairdressers and had a fresh batch of make up on. You have to look at least semi decent when you're seeing your ex for one of the first times since the break up. "You're back.. Where'd you go? Home?" She asked him casually, trying to make it seem as if it hadn't phased her.

Sean's stomach jumped when he realized it was Ellie. She approached him, that had to mean something, right? She couldn't possibly hate him. She looked gorgeous, as usual, and Sean wished things were the same between them. They had the best memories together; memories that he would never replaced or forget.
"Yes, I went home." He stated, looking down at the empty chair across from him. "You can sit." He pointed across, hoping she would have a few minutes to talk. He hoped she didn't have anyone else to go running home to. He wanted to make everything alright between them.

Tension filled the air as Ellie took a seat. Suddenly, she felt guilty about how she had kissed Alex Reed at Jade's birthday. Nothing was between the pair but it hadn't been long since their break up. Hands clutched around her coffee cup, Ellie decided to break the awkward silence. "I-I feel like there's something I should tell you. I know that we aren't together any more but I just feel like you should hear it from me, not someone else," She paused thinking of how to put it. "There's this guy.. Alex. Nothings happening but we have kissed.. twice.". She did have tiny feelings for him but she decided to skip that part. It wasn't a big deal. She didn't know if Sean would even be bothered but Ellie would feel guilty if he hadn't known.

Sean listened to Ellie carefully. "Oh," He let the simple, short word escape his lips as he looked down at the table. He couldn't be mad at her. They technically weren't together anymore, even though he wanted to be. "That's...nice." He couldn't figure out the words to say. He didn't like hearing about the fact that she kissed another guy, and he probably would never be comfortable with it.

"That's nice?". Ellie couldn't help but echo Sean's words. That's all he had to say to that?. She shook herself out of it. They weren't together any more yet somehow she was yerning for him to care. "So, I suppose your family didn't want you to come back here... I'm surprised you did. What pulled you back?"

Sean silently nodded when Ellie repeated his stupid statement. "What pulled me back?" He repeated her question. She pulled him back. The memories she had with him. "I don't really know. Just the place was nice." He shrugged, knowing she would think he was a creep if he told Ellie that she was the reason he came back. "I didn't want to leave everyone here." He stated, even though there weren't that many people he would be leaving.

She silently nodded, not realising that the Kingswood and it's people had such an effect on him so quickly. Taking a sip of her drink, she was very cautious not to spill any hot coffee over her new tank. Before the break up - and before they were even together - Sean and Ellie could speak for hours without any hesitation. Now, after two minutes, a silence surrounded them and tension thick enough you cut it with a knife. "You got back just in time for homecoming." Ellie blurted out, trying to make conversation. She plastered a fake smile across her face as she spoke.

Victoria's new job at Starbucks was killing her. Her family was filthy rich so it wasn't needed. Her parents gave her some crap about learning 'the value of money' when forcing her into this hell whole.
She was standing behind the counter watching a cute blonde boy sit with Ellie Mankelow. Tiffany had informed her that he was the new Irish boy who'd been on X-Factor that was sweet on Ellie. As far as she'd heard, they were no longer an item and he didn't have a date for homecoming. Victoria was determined to change that. Pulling up her skirt, revealing her long slender legs, she approached their table. Leaning across him to grab his coffee cup, Victoria made sure that Sean was able to get a great view of her chest. Ellie seemed to catch onto what Vic was doing as she saw her grimace and quietly mumble under her breathe. As she moved back, she smiled towards the boy and offered him another drink. Victoria was glad that she had choose to wear a push up bra today. It allowed her breasts so be exposed but only enough to tease. She was sure Sean would enjoy it.

"Homecoming?" Sean questioned. "Are you going?" He winced as he asked that, waiting for her to say she would be going with some other guy. Someone better than him. Before Ellie could answer, a girl working behind the counter came over to their table. Sean tried looking away, but there was something about her that kept pulling him in. Deep down, he knew he still loved Ellie, but something made him want to find out more about this girl. She offered him another drink, and Sean didn't object, but as he looked back towards Ellie, she seemed pissed off.

Victoria's advances towards Sean were as obvious as anything. She was flaunting her body all over him and honestly, he seemed to look like he was enjoying it. Ellie shouldn't be jealous. She had no right to. She broke up with him but really, Victoria Lorenza? Best friend of Tiffany? Was he stupid to fall for that?. He was just a thick headed as the rest of the boys in this town.
Victoria returned within the matter of minutes to give Sean another drink. He reached towards his pocket and she shook her head, smiling. "For you, it's on the house.". Ellie couldn't hold back her scoff this time. Sean looked over at her briefly then back at Victoria. "You're that guy that was on X-Factor, yeah? You have an amazing voice! It's beautiful.". Ellie was taken back by her comments. Of course she was capable of niceness when she was wanting to get into someone's pants.

"Yeah, thank you." Sean smiled wide, and then realized what his brain wanted. He only wanted this girl to make Ellie jealous. Could it work? He doubted it. Ellie was smarter than most people in the town and could easily figure it out. Sean wondered if it was dumb to try and use this girl, or if his plan could work.

Victoria found Ellie's jealousy amusing. "So, I suppose you heard about homecoming. Got a hot date yet?" She smiled, "Who am I kidding. An attractive guy like you? You've probably got girls lined up for miles!" Victoria giggled.

Victoria was dropping hints for Sean to ask her left right and centre. The idea of him going with het made her stomach turn. They'd end up in bed together by the end of the night, no doubt about it. Plus, the jealousy from Ellie would be thriving through the air. "He's not gonna ask you, Vic. So just quit it." Ellie said, clearly annoyed on how sweet she was getting on Sean. She hoped that he wouldn't pick up her annoyance in her tone. If he knew she was jealous he could very well use it against her.

"Huh?" Sean asked, raising his eyebrows. "No, no date for me." He stated. He didn't even know if he was going to go to homecoming, so why should he have been worried about a date? Ellie butted in, causing Sean to drop his jaw a little. He wondered if Ellie and this girl had any history, or something that made Ellie so jealous of her.
