The next morning, you go downstairs to have breakfast. The others are already there.
You decide to have breakfast outside, on the terrace, because you are still mad at Cynthia, and you do not want to pretend.Jackson : « what's wrong ? »
Cynthia : « she's mad at me » raising her eyes.
Jaden : « fr ? Why ? »
Madi : « yes I heard you guys yelling a little yesterday »
Cynthia : « yeah, well, we disagree on some things »
Talia : « I'm gonna see her » leaving and coming to see you.Talia : « hey beb.. what's wrong ? »
You : « nothing.. »
Talia : « y/n »
You : « ...I feel lonely » sighing a bit.
Talia : « but you're not, I'm here. And so are the others »
Talia : « you're saying that because of Cynthia ? »
You : « yeah Cynthia and.. Payton.. I mean yk- »
Talia : « I understand yes... »
You : « ...Cynthia thinks I'm doing shit, and that I just want to make Payton feel bad, but I just gave my insta, there's nothing yk, like- »
Talia : « eh beb, you have the right to do whatever you want okay ? You don't have to feel guilty about anything. Even though I know you still love Payton, you guys aren't together anymore, so.. you can do whatever you want »
You : « uhm.. »
Talia : « I love Payton, you know that, he's my best friend, but, think of yourself first. It's important to live for ourselves, not for others »
You : « yeah... but the situation is already complicated for me, and Cynthia's letting me down like that.. I wish she had understood me more... »
Talia : « yeah but I swear she'll understand. Her and Payton have been best friends for so long, she can't help but feel bad for him yk. Everyone knows that Payton hates it when guys hang around you »
You : « but there's nothing with Liam. We don't even know each other, yk what I mean ? It's not like him and Clara »
Talia : « yeah I know, but he's jealous. Almost as much as you actually »
You look at her.
Talia : « you wouldn't want a girl hanging around him either. Or that he gave her his insta »
You : « ...uhm.. »
Talia : « but jealousy means there's love ig » 🤷🏻♀️😌
You : « yeah, probably... »
You : « this shit is annoying, but, cute at the same time »
She turns her head towards you.
You : « oh but, I wasn't saying that about Payton »
Talia : « I never said that » 😌
You : « well, I'm off » 🙂
Talia : « don't go y/n » laughing a bit.
You : « nah nah, because you're trying to make me say things I don't mean » leaving, smiling a bit.
Talia smiles.You go back to your room and get dressed for the day. Suddenly, you hear someone knocking on your door. You go open. It is Madi.
Madi : « hi bebe, are you okay ? »
You : « yeah why ? »
Madi : « the others told me you were weird »
You : « uh, no it's okay » raising your eyes.
You : « just some bullshit but whatever. Can we talk about something else, please ? »
Madi : « yeah sure.. I had something to ask you actually » 😏🙂
You : « tell me »
Madi : « can we invite Liam here ? » 😃
You : « ugh Madi... » 😩
Madi : « pleaseeee »
You : « nah nah nah, I don't think it's a good idea »
Madi : « y/n... for me » 🙏🏻
You : « no Madi sorry, plus I have to see people for my merch today so, no »
Madi : « k » raising her eyes.
Madi : « another time » smiling then leaving.
You raise your eyes, smiling a bit.So, during the day, people come and talk with you about your merch. You discuss your ideas and finalize the project. They will be able to create it for the next meet and greets and for your website.
After that, Payton takes advantage of the fact that you are alone to come and see you. He gave you some time as the others had advised him but he really wants to talk to you.
You are gathering some papers they left you.Payton : « I like it » looking at your papers.
You turn your head towards him.
You : « thanks » sorting them.
Payton : « y/n, can we please talk ? Why did you leave like that ? »
You : « I don't wanna talk to you » getting up.
Payton : « just listen to me then »
You : « sorry I have things to do » leaving.
Cynthia sees you guys from afar and sighs a bit.A week goes by and Liam talks to you a little on Instagram. You answer him but never start a conversation. You are not very comfortable with this situation and, plus, you are still thinking about Payton.
Liam wants to see you again and Madi insists that he come here.Today, like every day, she tries her luck again and comes to see you while you are doing your sport on the rooftop :
You are with Jaden and Josh, but they decide to stop. You continue a little but Madi arrives.
You : « nooo Madi.. » 😩
Madi : « please y/n » 🙏🏻
You : « it's not a good idea. Payton's here and Cynthia doesn't like him either, so.. »
Madi : « who cares, she'll eventually find him cool you'll see »
Madi : « and for Payton, well, it's just a friend so... plus you're doing it for me » 🙂
You : « idk... »
Madi : « please, I'm begging you, do it for me »
You : « is it that important to you ? »
Madi : « yes. Please please please »
You : « ...argh, well, okay » raising your eyes.
Madi : « aaah thank you ! I love you »
You : « uhm »
Madi : « go ahead, ask him » excited.
You : « I will, but calm down »So, you send him a message.
You : « hey »
Liam : « hey hru ? »
You : « fine, you ? »
Liam : « i was a little bored but now it's better »
You : « well if ur bored you can come here if you want »
Liam : « oh is this an invitation ? »
You : « ig »
Liam : « i see, well i accept »
You : « k well this is the address » sending it to him.
Liam : « thanks »

You : « he said yes, he'll be here in 20 mins »
Madi : « yasss, well I have to change » excited.
You : « pfff, well, hurry up » laughing a bit.
She changes while you take a quick shower, then afterwards you help her straighten her hair.A few minutes later, Liam arrives and knocks on the door. You are upstairs with Madi, so you do not hear him.
The others are outside on the terrace and in the pool. But Josh, Talia, Payton and Cynthia are downstairs on the couches, so they hear someone knocking.Josh : « is it Trent ? »
Talia : « idk »
Payton : « maybe »
Cynthia : « please go and see » to Payton.
Payton : « why me ? »
Josh/Talia/Cynthia : « you're the closest »
Payton : « k » getting up, sighing.
