"Who is that?" Nick asked giving Clay a look.

 Why did Nick give him that look, it's like Aria isn't welcome here.

"This is Aria." Clay said looking over at her. She smiled and waved. 

George sat there in silence feeling completely broken. He told the whole group that he liked Clay and that he was going to confess to him. But turns out he wont be able to. George started to crumble into tears.

Clay and Aria went upstairs laughing.

"I'm sorry George." Karl said stroking his back in comfort. George took his hand off and stood up walking out of the house. He felt hot tears roll down his pale face. His breathing started to get heavier and it was harder to breath. 

I'm over reacting
He doesn't even care about me
Why am I like this..

George walked and walked. Where? He didn't know. He really had his hopes us too high. He really thought that Clay liked him. Turns out he never did and never will.

Rain started to drip down onto him. He didn't even bring a coat or jumper or anything. He was left in the middle of nowhere in the cold.  Alone with his bad thoughts.

Thunder started echoing in his mind. Turns out he didn't imagine it, it was real. George was completely terrified of thunder. Clay would always be there to comfort him in everyway possible. He had nobody near him anymore. Nobody to help him.

He ran onto a random beach. He didn't know where he was or what time it was. He didn't have a phone to even get anyone to pick him up. 

Maybe I did over react.

George placed himself on the cold sand. He could only hear his small sobs and the slow movement of waves behind him. Without even knowing it, he fell into a deep sleep.

-----------------------

"We should go find him." Niki told everyone. They all agreed and left the house. Clay and Aria heard everyone walking out and the door slamming shut. They didn't care and carried on with there conversation.

"Where could he be?" Wilbur asked.

"Just drive everywhere and look out for him." Darryl said.

Minutes of driving, it became darker and harder to see. They stopped the car in a random parking lot and started walking around instead. Niki, Wilbur, Skeppy and Darryl all walked together while the others went into another direction. They reached a beach.

The waves satisfied them all. It was all so calm and relaxing. They got closer and closer until they found George laying on the sand sleeping. He was cold and soaked. Darryl and Niki picked him up together trying not to wake him up. 

Meanwhile, Wilbur texted the rest telling them that they found him and to go back to the car. They all met up in the car with George sleeping at the very back. His small snores filled the silence of the car.

-------------------------

"I wonder where everyone went." Clay thought to himself. He was laying in bed with Aria. She made Clay smile but something still didn't feel the way it was meant to. Aria wrapped her arms around Clay falling asleep. He lay there until he heard the front door open.

Clay had never stood up faster. He walked down the stairs to find everyone soaked and holding George. Clay had completely forgotten about George and his feelings.

"Where did you guys go?" Clay asked.

Nobody answered his question. Clay stood there on the stairs in silence. He got nudged by Nick and Karl carrying George into his room. Clay let out a big sign and walked back into his own room.

Clay slowly opened the door to reveal Aria sitting on his bed.

"Why did you leave me." She yelled angrily.

Clay hesitated a bit and signed.

"I'm sorry I just went to see where the others went." 

Aria signed and lay back down. Minutes of silence had gone past.

"Clay will u be my boyfriend?" Aria looked over to Clay and smiled.

He didn't know what to say. He had to get over George but if he would say no it wouldn't work. A minute had passed and still no answer. Clay just gave up.

"Yes I will." Clay fake smiled.

Without consent Aria kissed Clay. He sat on the bed thinking deeply about what just happened. The kiss or any of this just didn't feel correct in any way to him. Aria went back to sleep on Clay's chest. He was uncomfortable.

But why
Did he really love George that much?


He knew he has to get over him. I mean he has a girlfriend that he 'loves'. It was still a bit hard to not think about George. His eyes, smile and just everything. He was precious in every way possible. Clay had fallen asleep.

------------------------------

Aria woke up in the middle of the night to hear talking and small giggles. It annoyed her. She wanted Clay all to herself and nobody else could touch or steal him. She had the perfect plan to move away with him. Surely he would agree right? I mean he is her boyfriend.

She got out of the bed and stomped downstairs making sure everyone knew she was coming down.

"Can you guys be quitter!" She yelled at everyone. They all sat on the couch or floor watching a movie.

"You don't live here plus your being louder by yelling." Alex snapped back.

Aria rolled her eyes.

"If any of you take Clay away from me you will regret it. And if you tell him about any of this you will as well." She felt powerful even though she wasn't.

George couldn't help but burst out laughing. His laugh filled the whole silence of the room. He tried to say something but his laugh covered it. Soon or after everyone joined in on the laugh. Aria just stood there in shock until she saw Clay come downstairs. 

Her facial expression and mood changed real quick. Everyone noticed that. They all looked at each other and tried to keep in there laughter.

"Why are you all being so loud." Clay mumbled half awake. George couldn't help but look at the state Clay was in. He was so handsome. His messy hair scattered everywhere. Puffy lips..

Wait.
Puffy lips.
Did they kiss
What happened
This can't be true.

George quickly looked away tears filling up in his eyes. He took quiet but heavy breaths.

"Are you guys dating or something?" Tommy asked changing the conversation. Before Clay could say anything Aria interrupted him.

"Yes we are." She said proudly. George couldn't keep his tears in anymore. He let them all out. Clay noticed this but he couldn't do anything.

Did George love him?
No way lol.

Karl noticed and pulled him into a hug. Aria stood there smirking. She walked over to Clay and pulled him back upstairs. As soon as they both left, George sobbed even harder.

"I- I don't know w-why I feel like this. It's n-never happened be-before." George mumbled under all of his tears. They all pulled him into a big group hug. George was glad to have everyone on his side, even though they only met about a week ago.

"George this isn't your fault he's just being annoying. He's so blind and he doesn't even understand how much you love and care for him. Like you would definitely care more for him than that little muffin." Darryl comforted him. George sniffed and soon passed out into a deep sleep in Karl's arms.
