Riley's POV:
I wake up to burning eyes, a sore head from crying so much, a throbbing hand and the sound of my phone ringing at the silliest time of 6.30am. Michelle was ringing so i quickly answer.

" "Good morning." i tell her.

"Good morning beautiful." michelle spoke upset.

"What's wrong? You sound upset?" i ask.

"My date went badly i kept bringing eldon up." mich tells me.

"Aw beautiful, James and i lost the duet." i tell her in hopes to make her feel better.

"You what? How'd that happen?" she asks.

"Elle and Tals challenged us." i tell her.

"And they won over to people who love eachother?" michelle asks startled.

"Well no, we dont love one another and we didn't try. James didnt want to." i tell her.

"Cheer up Ri." michelle spoke.

I hear emily yelling at me from downstairs.

"I gotta go babe, you too." i tell mich.

I hang up the phone and go downstairs to see Emily eating alone, i keep my injured hand in my pocket as i sit at the table. Mum just got home from night shift.

James's POV:
I wake up at 6.00am after tossing and turning all night wondering what was in that little blue bottle. And how i could make ammends with Riley, last night when i was in her house it made me think that i dont want to loose her, but i have so maybe fighting for her isn't going to change a thing. I sit at the kitchen table with mum and the twins going over the thoughts in my head over and over again.

"JAMES." Mum spoke louder.

"James i am talking to you." mum spoke.

"What?" i quickly snap out of my thoughts.

"On Friday night, we're going over to Emily and Riley's house for dinner." mum spoke.

Is mum crazy? Is riley's mum crazy? They do know we aren't together and we wont be any time soon. I sigh.

"I've made plans with Beth." i tell mum.

I hadn't but i can easily find plans rather then have dinner with my ex.

"We're going to dinner understand they have alot going on and it be nice to catch up with them. The twins are excited to see Ri and it be nice if you two could just be friendly for the evening." mum spoke.

I knew she wasn't going to budge. So i get up and leave the table. I don't get along with Emily and i sure don't get along with Riley so mum can go with the twin's by herself.

Friday dinner.

Riley's POV:
I throw on some cute black ankle leggings aswell as some little black black boots even though we're eating at mine, and a white flowy  shirt with black stripes and have my hair pinned back nicely aswell as my ring alexa gave me, and some gold bracelets for some colour. I put on some light pale lip gloss and go  downstairs, em in a dark blue dress with lace print.

"Anyone would think you were making an effort?" em joked.

Truth is James and i have made no contact since loosing our duet 4 days ago, and apart of me was a little less angry but still totally not fine. I just wanted a nice night with his twin sisters.

"Nope. His in a relationship." i say.

"Okay ri." em pats me on the back.

We hear knocks at the door so i go answer, revealling James's family. His mum, him and the twin's.
