Came Here For Love (Love Island AU 2018)

Take a Swim

"Two boys in one hit is just so fucked, man," Josh sighs, as he, Mac, Grant, John and I sit around the firepit, feeling the aftermath of the dumping tonight.

"I absolutely feel that Justin will find someone in the next 6 months, especially after people see this. He's just so lovely and his perfect girl is absolutely gonna find him," I sigh.

"I think we're all hanging onto that prediction," Grant smirks.

"I'm just anticipating some kind of blow up to happen, now that Justin isn't here to calm Millie and Tayla down and be their voice of reason," John says.

"I fear for this fucking house mate," Grant says, running his hands down his face.

"The worst part is tonight was really no one's fault. Jax was the logical choice purely because he's been in for a shorter amount of time, and has a better chance of finding someone because of that alone. Justin needs someone so specific and after this long, the chances of her walking through that door were too slim," I tell them, leaning into John's chest, who wraps an arm around my front pulling me further back onto him.

"Either way, tomorrow is gonna be fireworks," Josh says.

"I reckon there's a chance it happens tonight," Mac says.

"Well if it gets too heated, whoever it is gets chucked in the pool," I smirk.

"I'll help," John chuckles.

"You promise?" Josh looks at us with a childlike, hopeful look and we can't help but laugh at him.

"Sure, Joshy."

John, Josh and I leave the firepit and head into the kitchen, the boys because they're hungry, and me because I want a tea. Already in the kitchen is Cass, Erin, Eden and Dom, and of course the topic of conversation is still the dumping.

"100% you guys made the right decision," Josh reassures them. "Justin told Lexi and I yesterday that he'd walk in a week if he didn't have a couple. Jax hasn't even had a date, he's had a crack at every girl."

"It's just so shit we had to send him home," Eden says.

"And we almost did pick to keep Justin but we had to rethink on it," Erin tells us.

"Listen to the question, the question was who had a better chance of finding a girlfriend at the end of this, not who we're more friends with," John says.

"And the other part was who had made the most effort in here. Jax has only just got here and has put in so much effort into getting to know everyone," Erin agrees.

"Did you hear what Tayla said? 'If they pick Justin, we're never talking to them again'," Eden tells us. "Go and fuck yourself!"

"Thank god!" Cass says.

"Don't forget it's even harder for them because her and Millie were the closest to him in here, they were always gonna react badly and a bit more rash if he left, we just need to support them," I tell them, and John and Josh nod in agreement.

"And they said it's unforgiveable," Cass says, ignoring what I just said, and the rest of us except Eden all kind of share an eyeroll.

Beach Hut - Lexi

"Regardless of who made that decision, there was always going to be some kind of backlash, especially if Justin was sent home. However, Eden and Cass need to show a bit of empathy for the girls, they just lost one of their best friends in the villa who has been here since day one and been Millie's biggest support. Erin even sees this and her and Millie have been at each others throats! I hope Erin is beginning to realise that in most situations, Eden is actually the one initiating everything and kind of going out of his way to trigger her and bring up things she's had issues with in the past, and maybe she'd benefit from actually getting to know a bomb and just see what else is there, because she's been tunnel vision this whole time."
