There Is Only Love

Chapter 16

Ellie's POV

I looked at Bri as she hung up the phone and threw it across the room, with the tears running down her face, she stood up from the couch. I walked towards her to give some comfort cause I could tell she needed a hug or two. "Bri!" I said as she ran to her bedroom and locked the door. "Bridget!!! Talk to me!"

"Why doesn't he believe me Ell?" She said as I heard the shakiness in her voice from crying.

"Bri, you have to give him some time." I waited for an answer. The silence was broken by the sniffles coming from Bridget. "If I were him, I honestly wouldn't know what to believe. I mean, given the circumstances." I was quiet.

She opened the door. I looked at her to see makeup falling from her eyes. Poor thing. She looked like a raccoon. She hugged me. I was glad I could squeeze the hug out of her that I knew she needed. "I'm sorry Ellie." She said still hugging me.

"What are you sorry for?" I said with a little giggle.

"You're the one getting backstabbed and I'm worried about myself." She said breaking the hug to walk into the kitchen. She always makes brownies when she's trying to get out of a 'funk'.

I followed her into the kitchen. "Soon, Drew will come to realize I didn't kiss that guy on purpose.. Drew has to realize there is a reason why we have been together this long. I'm not going to trash our relationship over something so petty."

"Yea, I'm sure he's not going to either. I mean shit... If he tries to, just rub the fact that he gave a set of triplets a lap dance, in his face. I mean just because it was their birthday, don't mean shit." She said continuing to bake her brownies.

"Yea, he said he was 'oh so heartbroken." We laughed.

"Yea, okay Drew... I'll believe that when he grows an ass." She laughed.

"Which will never happen!!" I laughed too. It was nice to have a quiet house to be in. "Does it ever get too quiet over here?" I asked in curiousness.

"Nah, y'all are always over there having a blast, so I usually just go join you guys." She said pouring he mix into a pan.

"Well why don't you just come live with us? I mean, you're paying a house payment that you don't even really need to pay. Come to our place, you're with Teec now. Bunk with him."

She scoffed. "I'm sure he doesn't even want to talk to me right now... If only he really knew everything. And about how deceiving that bitch is!!"

"Yea, but how are we going to prove anything to them?" I sat down in the living room.

She walked in after putting the brownies in the oven to bake. "We go hang out with her, and we record her lying ass!!"

"And how the hell do you plan to do this??" I asked.

"I don't know.... Never mind." She sulked.

"We just have to talk to them.. Face to face. Not phone to phone." I suggested.

"You're right." She said.

Drew's POV

We practiced "Where the People Go" at the venue in Denver. When we were done, I hopped down to grab my water bottle. "Dude..." Summer said walking up to me.

"What??" I asked.

"What happened with you and Ell?" She asked concerned.

"Nothing important." I said trying to make my way back to the stage.

"Yo!" She said grabbing my shoulder. "You need to talk to her, because this 'avoiding her' crap, has got to stop. You've been nothing but crabby since you found out, and you need to get your issues sorted out." She sounded serious.
