Thomas pov.
We were chilling outside on the pool chairs Damiano was chatting to Emily who was playing with our dog i had my guitar as I was trying to work on a new piece with Victoria but she was taken forever in the bathroom..

"Hey Thomas " I felt tge end of the chair dip "yeah " i said knowing it was Ethan " did you notice they were staring at each other during dinner?" He asked "who Damiano and cielo " i joked (We'll call the dog cielo).

I felt a sight punch on my left arm "no muppet Damiano and Emily.." ethan said looking at them too.
"Look at them they're clearly in love, crushing on each other big time " ethan said which made nme chuckle

"what's so funny about that??" Ethan asked raising his eyebrow at me "oh nothing just that Vic and I already know that " i declared like I was talking about the news.

"Well why didn't either of you tell me"
"I did remember you woke me from a hangover to batch around her..besides you were busy not having her a chance" i said putting down my guitar.

"Yeah well can you blame me after Cameron I was worried I mean we still don't have a clue what happened that night" ethan reminding me of that stressful month..

"Yes we do they broke up end of story "
"And we just so happened to lose our crew including Dax our photographer " ethan said i never liked that jerk always hitted on Victoria during shoots..

"Ethan just drop it Damiano isn't going to tell us besides we have a new photographer now remember " i said standing up
"Look I like her i do but if Damiano gets hurt I'll-
"What suffocate her with your hair or style her to death which are fashion taste " i said makjng myself chuckle

"face it Ethan we tried and it hasn't worked out well, she might just be the one we're looking for to bring back our boy" with that Emily walked passed " are you ok?" I asked "yeah just going to the bathroom" she replied.

Emily pov.

I walked pass the boys who seemed to be in deep conversation about something "are are you?" Thomas asked "Yeah just going to the bathroom" I replied walking inside to take more painkillers simce my ribs keep hurting i would be suprised if one was broken i just hope it wasn't.

Once she saw me through the mirror her skin went pale the minute she saw me "emily.." i muttered completely in shock and horror at the sight her top was pulled up allowing me to witness the pure horrific sight of bruises covering her left side.

"No go away please go" she begged tears flowed down her red cheeks

"emily what's the fuck happened" i shouted closing the door quickly "who did this?" I shouted standing in front of her " my.... my bo-boyfriend.." emily muttered through her tears her words shocked me even more..

"You have a boyfriend he did this what the hell!! Why didn't you tell us about him" I shouted making emily flinch shit...
Relax Victoria breathe..

"What could I say my boyfriend attacks me that whenever I leave you guys I go home to him for this to happen " she said "But.. why didn't you tell us about him hitting you ?" I asked i was fuming not at emily but at myself for not noticing and to who ever did this will pay.

"How could I you'd all treat me differently you wouldn't think i was brave, strong or independent you'd see me as I actually am weak" emily said breaking my heart she's my best friend "emily look at me you are my best friend we all adore you and will never think your weak because your not" i said

"I have to tell the boys -" i said turning to leave till she pulled me back lightly "no please don't tell them please Victoria if they find out" she said sounding worried "what he has to know especially Damiano, he'll protect you " i told her knowing he would I looked at her to see fear, doubt and pain evident on her face.

Emily pov.

"please don't tell anyone just not right now " I asked crying onto her shoulder she shh me while stroking my hair

"OK I won't be tomorrow I'll talk to him and we'll pack your things and leave your coming back home with me" she said making me smile. I nodded yes and Victoria pulling me into the longest hug. I needed this.

Ethan pov.

We decided to move everything inside emily and Victoria were no where to be seen

"Thomas can you start the fire" i asked as I tidied everything away i was still in the kitchen when all of a sudden i heard thomas shouting "thomas whats wrong?" I asked sudden thomas walks into forward (the kitchen and sitting is one space) I immediately started laughing at the sight.

"What happened??" Damiano asked placing his arm over my left shoulder as we laughed " I was cleaning the fireplace sneezed and got ash all over me" thomas said we just started to laugh till our stomach hurt making the girls rush in "what's going on?" Emily asked we pointed at thomas immediately the girls broke into a state of laughter.

"go get cleaned up" Damiano said thomas nodded and walked outside making the four of us confused next of we heard a splash "NOT IN THE POOL!!!" I yelled we all ran out to see Thomas had jumped into the pool.

Emily pov.

Watching thomas float on his back made us laugh how come his so free and wild i thought but this time the laughing made my stomach hurt which in return made my ribs hurt "you ok ?" I turned to see Damiano smiling at me he looks so happy "with you yes" i said honestly he looked back at me with an even bigger smile making me forget about my talk with Victoria.

"Come on let's go" Damiano whispered taking my hand and we suddenly raced into the pool with Victoria and Ethan following us we laughed splashed and swam like we were teenagers breaking into a swimming pool after hours.

I swam to the wall hearing someone next to me i turned to see Damiano "hey mi angelo having fun?" He asked "I'm having the best time" i said watching him bend his head back into the water letting his hair get wet again

"Good" he said "hey Damiano " I asked "yeah amore?"
"Thank you for everything, you've helped me in a way you couldn't understand" i muttered as he pulled in close to me.

"Amore, you've done the same for me" Damiano said taking my jaw between his finger and thumb closing the gap between our lips.

Damiano pov.

I didn't think I would kiss her but seen her looking so free and happy made me think of nothing else but kissing her
I heard whistling behind us making me pull away.

"It's about time " Ethan said
"Go get a room" Victoria shouted "gross this pool is for PG12 only" thomas said covering his eyes like he had walked in on his parents.

I swam over pulling him down we all started messing Emily words played in my mind *you've helped me in a way you couldn't understand* I'll ask her more about it tomorrow right now let's swam.
