The atmosphere around that firepit was so tense, I couldn't jump out of my seat quick enough as I made my way around the Casa boys to say goodbye. It was quick for near enough all of them as I could just see out of the corner of my eye Tom speaking to Lydia but then I focused all my attention of the final goodbye to Ryan."

"Thank you so much for being the gentleman you were." I told him as I pulled him in for a hug. "I have absolutely no doubt that someone will snap you up outside of here."

"Thanks to you too, I know it maybe didn't work out for us but I wish you and Tom all the best."

"I think it might be over already." I had to admit to him. "But that's what you get for trusting people isn't it."

"I know you love that guy, whether you know that yet or not, you will. I'm not saying forgive him right now but don't have any regrets, that's all I'll say."

"I won't."

Once the nine islanders had left, it felt like I had nowhere else to run but just to stay with the girls before Shaq come over to give me a hug. "I'm so sorry Val."

"I'm sorry to you too, I promise I had your back in there."

"I had yours too. He's putting on a brave face to us all but I know he made a mistake the instance that he picked her."

"And so he should, I can't even look at him right now."

Speak of the devil as I felt a hand on my back. "Val..."

"Leave me alone Tom, please."

"Can we just have a..."

"Not right now. Please not right now." I whispered to him. "Please, I can't deal with it right now."

"Please come and speak to me when you're ready, I promise I'll give you all the answers I can right now."

It felt like hours even though it was probably only minutes before Jessie pulled me to go inside. "I'm sorry, I'm not buying the tears."

"I know." I told her as we walked into the living room area. 

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm gutted." I admitted to her. "I wish I would have spoken to her now and just got her to tell me everything but I felt like if I'd have walked up to her I would have just seen them together in that moment."

"What is with them having little smooches and thinking they can have us too?"

"I promise if he says it's a test one more time, I'll scream. I'm not in high school doing a maths test, I'm trying to find my soulmate."

"The worst part is the audacity to think that we're just going to walk in and be like 'oh it's ok'." She ranted. "It's such a big ick."

"It's making me question like everything right now, I keep like going over how it was before we left and if there were any signs."
