*Jai's Point of View*

How could she do this to me? She had sex with James? Because of Shiva? Aye, fuck. I made her leave a few minutes ago and we've really done nothing since...

There was a knock on the door. I groaned. "Sara, can you tell her to leave? I'm can't do this right now."

"Um...it's not Emma." Sara told me. "It's Shiva." The seven of us stared at her as she walked into the door. James wasn't with her.

"Um, hey guys. What's going on?" She asked. "Is James here?"

We shook our heads. This is awkward. "Did Emma call you or something?" Luke asked.

Shiva shook her head. "No, Parmi left this at school...I just wanted to drop it off." She said, handing Parmiss a maths binder. "Did something happen?"

We all looked at each other. "She probably doesn't know..." Skip trailed off.

"Well she deserves to know." Parmi pointed out.

"Know what?" Shiva asked.

"Go ahead, tell her." I said. "Sara, can you tell her? You guys are the closest."

"Oh...okay." Sara said. "Shiva, James has been hiding something from you. We just find out, we promise. And it was when you were...gone."

Shiva swallowed. "Well I know about Allie-"

"Shiva." Sara interrupted. "James and Emma were sleeping together when he was trying to deal with the depression of losing you." She covered her mouth after the words left her mouth, as if it was disgusting to even speak it.

I clenched my fist watching Shiva's reaction. "James...he slept with Emma?" She asked, whispering.

I took a deep breath. "I know how you feel."

"Oh my God." Tears streamed down her face. "I never would've...could've...I. I wouldn't think. He would never. Why? Wow...with Emma? Emma. Never would've...wow. He lied straight to my face. How could he...with Emma?"

Sara ran to her and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry Shiv. Emma just told us. James doesn't know yet."

I walked up to the two of them. "Shiva, how're we gonna deal with this?" I asked her.

"Oh, Jai. I don't know. I've only ever loved James...I don't think he loves me back though." The tears started to come faster. "I really thought he loved me." She hugged me. I don't think we've ever hugged before. "And you and Emma...I can't believe she did that while you guys were together. I just..." She faded out, I felt her tears leaving watermarks on my shirt.

Beau spoke for the first time since I think they even got here. "Jai. Shiva, I'm here for you guys. You need me to whoop James' ass I've got you covered."

Shiva shook her head. "I still love him. Please don't hurt him. I'm just so angry at Emma."

Why did those words still hurt me? I still love Emma...don't I?

The door opened again.

Please Don't Be James Please Don't Be James Please Don't Be James

"Mum." I sighed with relief.

"Jai, sweet. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked me, full of concern. "Shiva, sweetheart, you too! Everyone, oh what's happened?"
