Jill's POV

- next day -

I went to bed last night, thinking there was more to life than holding grudges. But, last night pissed me off. I'm mad at all 3 of them. Nash because he asked the dare, Rachel for not stopping them, and Hayes because he went along with it when he clearly didn't have to.

I got out of bed and checked my phone. (4) texts from Hayes. (1) text from Nash. (2) texts from Rachel. (3) texts from Shawn. I open them all up, starting with Hayes' first.

Hayes: I'm so sorry. Please open the door.

Hayes: Mistakes is what people do. Please forgive me.

Hayes: I can't stand that you are mad at me... 😭

Hayes: I made the biggest mistake letting you slip from my hands..

Now Nash's.

Nash: Jill, I'm so sorry! I didn't think he would actually do it! I didn't think straight! I need my sister!! 😭

Now Rachel's.

Rachel: Please open the door. 😓 I wish you told me that you weren't happy with mom and dad..

Rachel: Please open the door. I'm so sorry. This wasn't supposed to happen!

Last but not least, Shawn's.

Shawn: It's late nights like these where I miss talking to you.

Shawn: I hope you know I love you.

Shawn: I can't believe I consider you my ex now. Please, meet me somewhere. I need to see you.

Me: K. Where at?

He responds right away.

Shawn: Starbucks at 12?

I look up at the clock and it says 10:28. I should be good.

Me: Fine. But don't expect things to be the way they used to. You hurt me.

I put my phone on the counter as I step into my bathroom. I look in the mirror and see tears stains from when I cried last night. I sigh as I step into the shower.

I'm in there for about 30 minuets, making it now 11:00. I finish getting ready at 11:15. I step out of my room, stepping on someone as the person lets out a groan.

Hayes. He really slept on the tile floor. Wow.

"Jill?" Hayes says, with his eyes still shut.

I roll my eyes and ignore him as I step past him, going down the stairs. Sitting on the couch was Nash and Rachel. They saw me and immediately got off of the couch, making there way towards me. I ignore them as I head into the kitchen to grab an apple. I take a bite out of it.

"Jill, I'm sorry." Rachel says.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah. I know."

"So you forgive us?" Nash asks me.

I chuckle. "No."

"Why are you dressed up?" Rachel asks me.

"I don't know. Can I trust you guys?" I say, rolling my eyes once again.

Hayes comes down the stairs and runs to me. I turn my back to him.

"I can't believe you guys. You expect everything to be okay? Nothing is okay!" I say, shouting.
