poppy's pov:

Another day of attempting to pull ophelia up out of bed and out of this depressive mood i've never seen her so broken, so fragile before it was breaking my heart to see my bestfriend like this. The last time things got this bad was when her dad passed away, her and her dad were super close they were the best of friends but sadly a week before ophelia's 18th birthday he suffered a catastrophic heart attack and he sadly passed away she was heartbroken she didn't eat, she didn't get out of bed, she didn't shower and here we are again the exact same cycle.

" ophelia come on you need to get out of bed come and at least shower and change out of these clothes" softly nudging the girl but it was no use all i got was a small groan.

" i'm tired pops"

" i know you are but you need to get out of bed you've got so many job offers you could be making some right money"

" i don't care"

" i don't care if you don't care you need to get out of bed right now i'm not going to sit here and let you do this to yourself again"

Suddenly the girl turned around to face me sitting herself up " okay i'll shower but that's it"

i let out a huge sigh of relief pulling her in for the biggest hug i didn't care if she stunk she was my best best friend and i'd do anything to make sure she was okay.

We both got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom i turned on the bath putting lots of bubbles and set out her shampoo, conditioner and body wash and i left her to bath in peace. Whilst she was bathing i got out a fresh clean outfit for her consisting of joggers, an oversized jumper and clean underwear i was determined to get this girl out of the house today.

"o i know you said you just wanted to stay in bed but what about if we just go for a walk? it could do you good"

" i don't think i've got enough energy for that pops"

" i know it feels like that but i'll hold your hand every step of the way and we can even nip into nando's afterwards"

i heard a sigh come from the bathroom " okay yeah it sounds good"

" perfect i'm just going to go and get ready then"

I headed over into my own bedroom and quickly got ready for the day i took a photo of my outfit before posting it on instagram as i hadn't uploaded in quite a while.

I grabbed my bag before walking back into ophelias room and helped her brush and straighten her hair and put a light face of makeup on the girl just to make her feel a little happier.

" you ready o?" i asked whilst holding out my hand

she nodded her head in response before taking her hand in mine as we both left the apartment and made our way into the busy streets of london.

" how you feeling now we're out of the house?"

" it feels nice having some fresh air thank you pops"

i smiled squeezing the girls hand lightly as i opened the door of the nando's restaurant

" table for 2 please" i smiled at the waitress in front of me

" of course follow me this way" she said whilst picking up 2 menus and the nando's chicken stick before leading us to a small table in the back.

" thank you" i replied whilst picking the menu up and browsing even tho i already knew what i was going to order.

" what do you want o"

" urm can i just get a chicken wrap please medium heat with chips"

" yeah of course i'll go up and order it"

Just as i was walking up to the counter i spot a table full of boys who seemed very familiar and that was until i noticed it was the sidemen bunch this was bad this was very bad that was until ethan walked up behind me and pulled me into a hug.

" alright pops what you doing her"

" i'm with ophelia i've finally managed to get her out of the house if she notices harry there she's gonna start panicking again" pointing over to where the girl was sat playing on her phone

Ethan nodded his head " we've all nearly finished now anyway but i'll tell the lads to try and keep quite"

" thank you" i replied pulling him in for a quick hug before ordering our food and making my way back to the table

" i got you a coke is that alright"

" yeah of course it is"

"it's nice to see you out of the house again o"

" to be honest it's nice being out and about i've missed the fresh air"

i smiled at the girl in front of me as we both had a small conversation before our food arrived. whilst we were eating i noticed the boys had left which was a huge relief i knew if ophelia saw any of them especially harry it would end in a disaster and she was only just beginning to get better.

Once we had both finished we headed back to the flat and spend the rest of the day cuddled up on the sofa watching gavin and stacey one of mine and ophelia comfort shows no matter how many times we've watched it, it still feels like the first time over and over again.

I pray and hope the ending of ophelias depressive episode was at the end and i could have my happy go lucky best friend back but i also hoped and prayed that her and harry rekindled somehow yes i was angry at the boy but i knew how much they were both hurting at this moment and how much they both loved and cared for eachother.

I guess only time will tell.

Hi my loves a little longer chapter for you all! hope you're all having the best day possible x
