Mason's POV

What the fuck does this guy think he's doing?! I'm stairing down at my phone screen in disbelief. He called Evelyn his favourite girl. I'm immediately called by Tristan, a facetime call. "Dude, did you see what Griffin posted?" He asks me. I nod my head in response. "Yeah, I've fucking seen it." My teeth are gritted. My hand slightly shaking. "It's not what it looks like, Liv just called me explaining. He just like showed up at the shoot and asked to take pics with them." He continues.

"He can't keep calling her his girl, she doesn't belong to anyone." The anger is flowing through me. "I know, I know. I get you're angry. Just show him who the guy she really wants is." He's right. If he wants competition I'll give him some fucking competition. "Okay, I'll update you soon bro I'm gonna go get Eves." He nods and I hang up the phone. I walk down the stairs but before I can leave my sister stops me.

"I heard what you were saying on the phone." Her face straight, yet sympathetic. I don't answer. "I can tell she really loves you. I wouldn't worry about anything the media are saying." Her words sound so comforting. "Thanks Brooke." I form a small smile before going out the door to go get her.

Evelyn's pov:

"Hey Evelyn, just wanted to come visit you for a bit." Griffin says, standing outside my door.

"Oh umm, sure. But I'm expecting Mason around in like 20 minutes so make it quick. I know you two don't really like eachother and I don't really want drama." I say, he walks in and goes immediately to grab a glass of water. "Everything ok? You've been stressed at work too." He asks me. I sigh as I grab myself a glass.

"This whole team Mason and team Griffin thing has turned into this whole mess, and I just want it all to be over." I'm sat across the kitchen table from Griffin. "Well make it clear who you want Evs." He responds. His eyes never leaving me. "I thought I had. I mean I am dating Mason. I love Mason. My whole world is Mason." I can feel my heart pounding. "Yeah, but other people are interpreting it as you feeling sorry for him, and honestly I can see it."

"Griffin, how can you say that? Every time we hang out I always talk about Mason. You know that." I'm shocked he'd even say something like that. He knows how much I love Mason. "Yeah but think about it, you've been together, what a year? The media is bored. This could be a good thing, leading them on." I can't even process the words coming out of him mouth.

"Look, this is a great opportunity to tell you, but I think, no I know I'm in love with you. Evelyn you're so fucking pretty, and kind. Just give me a chance. Please." I'm at a loss for words. He what? I thought his flirtations were just banter, him just fooling around. "I think you should leave." I don't meet his eyes. My head firmly planted looking to the floor.

"Don't tell me you're picking him." He whispers. He takes a step forward. I take 3 steps back. "Don't make me choose. Please don't make me choose." I feel the tears pricking from my eyes "Why, because you'll choose him?" He says. I can hear the pain in his voice. I wish it didn't have to come to this. "You know I will. I think it would be best if you go." Just then I hear a knock on my door. "Hey Evelyn, it's me." Fuck. Mason was already here.

Before I can say anything back Griffin goes and opens the door. "He- what the fuck, is he doing here?" There's anger clear in his tone. He's death glaring him. "Oh buddy, you've got nothing to worry about. This one's loyal. Well, unless you count leading someone on." I'm stunned. I'm sobbing. "Oh you sick son of a bitch!" Seconds later Griffin's punched Mason. Mason then starts hitting him back. "Mason, stop it, please!" I scream at the pair but they aren't listening. Both boys have taken serious injuries.

Griffin is definitely going to have a black eye in the morning and Mason's nose is bleeding. Mason is the one to get off of him. "You go anywhere fucking near her or me, watch what happens." He spits out. Griffin is on the ground, looking up at him with rage. "It's impossible to do that, she's working with me for another 4 months." He chuckles, wiping the blood from his nose. "If you talk to her other than in character. There's gonna be fucking hell to pay."

"Now get out of her fucking house. Or I swear to god I'm gonna give you another black eye."

Griffin stands up. His eyes meet mine. "I'm still an option Eves, you know where to find me." He leaves the house. I look at Mason. Tears. We're both crying. "Mas-" I try to speak but he cuts me off. "No, it's my turn to talk. I thought you truly did care about me."
"What- Mason what are you talking about?! I do love you. More than anything." His words are cutting deep into my skin. "Well you constantly seem to be picking him."

"Well what the fuck was that then? If you were here for the whole conversation I was telling him to get out because I love you, not him. It's never been him." His eyes soften when he looks at me. A tear falls from his eye. "I know I fucked up, I shouldn't have had him over without telling you. I'm sorry I hurt you, but this isnt entirely my fault."
"Well it isn't mine. All I'm saying is the signs were there."

"Well sorry I couldn't see them, I really am but stop acting like I'm the villian here when I'm not." There's silence. Endless seconds of silence. "I umm, I think it's best if we have space. Only for a week or something but I need to cool off." He says. The tears pricking at my eyes. "Okay, i-if that's what you want." It's honestly a good suggestion. A week to cool off.

As I think he's about to leave he walks up to me. "One last hug. One last kiss." He holds me tight in his embrace and I start to cry profusely. "I love you. Don't forget that, okay?" I nod against his chest, as a response to his question. We stand like that for at least half an hour. Just holding eachother. Crying in eachothers arms.

When he finally breaks from my embrace he places a long kiss on my lips. "One week." He whispers, hand on my cheek. "One week." I repeat and watch him walk out the door. Once I close it I burst into tears again. I open my phone and text Alyvia.

Evessss: Hey, I really need you right now.

Livssss: Of course, what's up?

Evessss: I'll tell you when you get here with me
