CHRIS'S POV

"come on chris" nick says, "you have to get over her, it's been two years" and i just roll my eyes, "i don't want to get over her okay?" i snap and nicks eyes widen, "no matter how amount of time i will have i broke things between us, if i was there for her things probably would've been different. all those phone calls you had with her while she's been gone and i walked in and the tension? she would probably still talk to all of us if i wasn't such a dick" i finish and i'm out of breath by the end of it.

"i know chris, you were a dickhead. but she's changed you, your not like that anymore" matt says from the door, "since when did you get here" i question, "i  was eavesdropping" he replies walking in shrugging,
"well i don't care what you all have to say but we have to film a podcast episode today" i say rubbing my eyes and getting out of bed, "let me get ready, now shoo" i push them out and shut the door.

It was now officially 2 years since liz, no eliza left. i can't call her my own nickname when she probably never wants to speak to me again, i've thought about messaging her a thousand times but i've not had the courage to do it. i've just felt numb ever since she left, i miss her so much.

i start to brush my teeth, i ran my fingers through my hair because i couldn't be bothered to
comb it and then i walked over to my wardrobe and got out some joggers and a t shirt.

i walked over to the podcast room and nick came out to me and closed the door behind him, we had a special guest today but i didn't even know it was. nick and matt refused to tell me,
"the special guest is here" nick trails off and i rub my hands together trying to act bothered, "who is it" i ask eagerly, "promise you won't be mad?" nick says and i stay silent, "it's eliza" my eyes widen and my heart dropped but part of me was happy it was her, "what the hell, nick? how long has she been back?" i ask, "around a month" nick says rubbing the back of his neck,
"a month?" i whisper-yell my eyes widening even more if that was possible and nick just nods, "whatever nick, let's just get it over with" i sigh and put my hand towards the door- knob and take it away, then i put it back and open it.

ELIZA'S POV

i was talking to matt, catching up but the tension was through the roof. i mean they were all mad at me, i left, promised i would speak to them and then stopped speaking to them after a month!

the door flung open and chris walked in nodded at me and sat down, he was opposite me so for most of the podcast so i had to look down and avoid eye contact.

the awkward tension filled the room and nick counted down from 3 and started the podcast started, "hello campers i'm nick" he starts, "i'm matt" matt says, "uhm i'm chris" chris shifts awkwardly in his seat, "and i'm eliza" i say laughing awkwardly.

"uhm today we're doing a podcast" matt says holding the bright orange hat and he pulls one out.

"dogs or cats?" he reads out, "i feel strongly about this topic but i would say dogs" matt finished and then looks over at me, signalling it was my turn to answer, "uhm i love dogs and cats" i say, "so i'm team both" i finish and chris just rolls his eyes, why? he was the one who wasn't there for me when i left or when jack broke up with me so he has no right to be upset with me,
"i'm gonna have to go dogs" nick says and chris nods in agreement.

"so eliza, how is your youtube channel going?" nick asks me, "i hit 1 mil last month and i'm getting noticed more often in public, but i don't know if it's gonna be different here because most of my fans were in the UK" i reply and chris scoffs, "you're staying?" he says with an attitude and i nod, "woohoo eliza is staying" he says sarcastically cheering, it felt like i got stabbed. he has never called me eliza to my face before, only liz or lizzy.
