****Valentina's POV****
In all my efforts to avoid the drama when we came back down off the terrace there was still an atmosphere around the place. Ron and Rosie were making there way over from the sofas at the back of the garden and neither of them really looked happy about the situation.
"How is he?" I asked Lana as I joined her and Sanam on the beds. Tom had gone off to go and speak to the boys.
"He's pissed, it just feels like one thing after another right now and he feels like he has to defend himself from these comments now."
"You look pissed." I told Ron as he made his way over.
"I'm glad she spoke to me." Ron said as he sat down opposite us and next to Sanam. "Well I spoke to her but I was like how that you've spoken to me, she said it was weird and I hoped that like she would go and tell the others now that she's spoken to me and it's not like that."
"Mm."
"But then she said people have their own opinions."
"But it started from her." Lana said.
"I know and now I've got to go and sort out a mess that shouldn't even be a mess."
"Do you feel like you need to though?" I asked him.
"Course I do."
"All I'm saying is these people have made their own opinions of these comments and in my opinion I doubt anything you say will change that."
"Like if I had said that I'm controversial and I make these decisions, like fair judge me on that."
"I'm not going to lie some people do think you're game playing but some just thought the comment was odd."
"What do you think?" He asked me straight up.
"I think it shouldn't matter what I think and therefore I'm not going to voice an opinion on it. You've said something and the only person who needs to make a decision on that is Lana. If she's got a problem with it or she's ok with it, that's her decision to make and I don't think I should influence that."
"Thank you for that, I know we maybe haven't seen eye to eye on different things but you have been a good friend to Lana in this, to the both of us." He told me. "Hug it out."
"We can hug it out." I'll never be best buddies with Ron but I could at least be friendly with him as we both met in the middle for a hug. "Lets just keep it this way, yeah?"
"Completely."

The next morning Jessie, Tanya, and I were sat in the dressing room getting ready for the day as the other girls sat on the terrace
"Do you think it's all squashed now with Rosie and Ron?" Jessie asked.
"Rosie did say she'd like squashed it." Tanya answered.
