Out of Sight, Out of Mind

I woke up again to the sun rising, and all the birds chirping as they flew over the villa and garden bringing a smile to my face. I sat up in Soul Ties, and I'm reminded that today is an off day- no filming, and that's exactly what I needed. Just like yesterday- I plan on being alone all day and night unless it's one of my girls. I thought about laying back down in the pool of pillows I had around me, but I was in desperate need of a long hot shower after sleeping outside again.

I gathered up all the pillows and blankets to head inside to take my shower. I was dreading walking in the bedroom because I didn't know who all would still be in there- I didn't care who as long as it wasn't him. The closer I got to the bedroom doors, the more I heard the voice of almost all of the islanders, and lucky for me- Rob wasn't one of those voices. I pushed open the big white doors, and all the islanders were still sitting on their beds and they all send me warm but sad smiles.

"Good morning guys." I said while sending a small wave, and I threw the blanket and pillows on the spare bed.

Once I turned around to make my way to the bathroom all the islanders eyes were on me again, and before I could question anything- Kendall got up from his bed revealing a puffy eyed Rob laying in the bed behind him. We made eye contact and for a split second I found myself wanting to check on him, but I was then reminded of the hurt and betrayal I felt the previous night. He ripped the white comforter off his body, and sat up while still holding eye contact and I held my hand up making him stop all movement while I rushed across the room to get to the bathroom door as quickly as possible.

"Elena, I'm coming!" I heard Leah shout from the bedroom, and her footsteps for closer as they hit against the wooden floor.

When I got to the bathroom I turned the water on hot, stripped out of the pajamas I was wearing before getting in. The second the hot water it my skin- I felt all my muscles relax, and I took in the soothing feeling. When we have filming days the time we have to shower and get ready is extremely limited, so when an off day comes along- I use it to my advantage to the fullest.

"Can I come in?" Leah asks from the other side of the door.

"Yeah!" I shouted loud enough for her to hear me, and seconds later the black haired girl walked in. "How was last night in the bed room?"

"It was so weird oh my God." She says as she jumps up on the counter beside the shower I was in. "The vibes were just so weird after you walked away. After you left for Soul Ties for the night, everyone went to the bedroom to have a debrief, and when Rob walked in with Andrea it went completely silent."

"Did he say anything about what I said?" I asked while washing the shampoo out of my thick brown hair.

"That's the best part." She said getting excited, and I looked at her confused. "Andrea went off on him!" She whisper yelled, and my jaw dropped.

"No way!"

"Girl, yes! At first she was mad he didn't stick up for her when you were going off, and then said she never should've talked to him and he was a waste of her time before she stormed out of the room." I was about to say something and then Leah left her hand up at me signaling for me to wait. "Then after she left Rob started sobbing and he said 'I made a mistake. I never should've left Elena, she'll never forgive me.' and no one said anything back to him because he was right- he did mess up." She mocks Robs voice nearly perfectly sending us into a fit of laughter for a couple seconds until I'm calm enough to form a sentence again.

"Did Andrea say anything when she came back after leaving?"

"She apparently went looking for you to talk, but couldn't find you. I think it was when you went to film in the hut." She says as I step out of the shower, and wrap a towel around my body.
