Blaire's POV:

I sit at the kitchen island with my head in my hands next to Cal. "It's gonna be fine Blaire." Cal said trying to comfort me. I ignored him by shaking my head. Tobi and Josh entered the kitchen which brought my attention to them.

"Can I please talk to Simon before I explain everything?" I asked.

"Of course, take your time." Josh said. "He's waiting for you in the other room." He added showing me a smile. I left the kitchen and found Simon sitting on the stairs I saw when I first came in. I sat down next to him.

"You're an idiot." I said breaking the silence.

"I know. I'm sorry." He said apologizing.

"I don't care if you're sorry. You've been acting like a jealous bitch since we first saw each other at the party. I'm allowed to talk to other guys, Simon. It's been 2 years since that thing happened. We both need to tell this story and get over it because I've missed you so much Si. You were one of my best friends back in the states and then our stupid feelings got in the way." I rambled on to him.

"I know Blaire. But seeing you with Cal sometimes makes me think of us 2 years ago. We clearly had feelings for each other.  And then I went and messed shit up and ever since the day you left 2 years ago I never stopped thinking about how badly I messed up." Simon stated beginning to tear up.

"Here, let's go tell them this story, and hopefully, we can be friends now." I said to him holding out my hand. He grabbed it and we walked into the kitchen together. Cal stared at us holding hands. I looked around and noticed JJ, and some random guy I'm guessing was Vikk, were also in the kitchen. "Well, here we go I guess. You might want to take a seat." I said knowing it was going to be long. They all found a chair and I started. "It all started July of 2014." I looked at Simon and continued. "I was on a vacation to America for their fourth of July. I was at a beach party one day when I met Simon. We hung out the whole day and then later we exchanged numbers. Soon enough we found out that he was staying close to where my cottage was. One day, he came over and we got along so well that we spent the rest of our vacation together. Somewhere along the way, I um, fell for him. Then July 4th came along. He came over to my house and I told him I had to leave to go back to Canada I also told him that I loved him... he told me he loved me. He tried to get me to stay with him. He even offred to buy me a ticket to London so I could be with him. But I told him I couldn't. That night, stuff happened. I woke up the next day to an empty house with a note on the counter." I stopped the story and pulled the note out of my pocket.

"You kept it?" Simon asked. I nodded and continued.

"It said, 'Blaire, you are such an exdrodianry girl. You made me laugh, feel, and most imortantly cry. After last night I couldn't bare to see you. I never want to see you again. delete my number, unfollow me on everything, and delete all the pictures we have together. Goodbye. Simon.' I called him and he yelled at me, he called me name's I'll never forget. But the worst part of this is that I said things too I called him things for a year on every social media account I had. And then I finally got over Simon Minter. And then I saw him again after 2 years at a party last night." I finished the story and everyone was staring at me. "You guys can talk now." I added.

"Wait, Simon, is this why you had like a depression stage after you got back from America?" Cal asked. I looked at him with sad eyes.

"You were depressed? Over me?" I asked. He nodded. "Listen, that was just a girl. A girl who's heart was broken by a guy who she thought loved her. She's changed now. They both moved on, and now she's back. Do you think they could start over and be friends again?" I said talking in third person. Simon smiled the bigest smile I've seen since.... since forever.

"I think he would definatley want to start over. He's been wanting to start over since the day that girl left." He replied. I smiled and hugged Simon. Things were finally back to normal.

"YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!" Everyone cheered. I laughed.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Tobs and Joshy." I said pouting. "I was scared you would hate me." I added.

"We could never hate you and you know that." Josh said.

"Exactly." Tobi added. I smiled. Cal stood up and stood next to me.

"Well, I need to go back to my hotel because I look really bad and I haven't changed since yesterday." I said laughing.

"I can take you back if you want." Cal offered.

"Sure, we should all make plans soon though." I said. "Also, I move into my new place in a few days. I may have bought this place before I came." I said laughing.

"That's sick! We'll talk later." Tobi said before I left with Cal.

At the hotel

We got to the hotel. "Thanks for driving me and going through that hell of a story." I said laughing.

"No problem. We all have a hell of a story like that." Cal said chuckling.

"Hey uh, Do you wanna hang out for the rest of the day? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to, it's just that I'm bored in a hotel by myself and the other guys seem busy, so yeah." I asked. He laughed.

"I'd love to. Let me just park and we can go up together then I can show you around London since you'll be living here." He said laughing. He parked a few feet away from the hotel and we both got out. "Wait, you lived here before haven't you?" Cal asked.

"Kinda, I lived just outside of London. My family is from Liverpool but they moved to Canada before I was born then we came back for a bit." I told him walking down the hall to my room.

"Why did they move to Canada?" He asked a we walked in the room. "Jeez! You have a big ass room!" Cal said in shock when he realized how big my hotel room was. I laughed.

"I don't know why they moved. Canada is such a cold place but it's so nice!" I said answering his question. He nodded.

"I'll have to go one day." He said sitting down on my bed. I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans, a White crop top, and I kept on my Adidas superstar shoes.

"I'll be right back." I said going into the bathroom to change. Once I got everything on, I walked out.

"Ready?" Cal asked.

"Almost." I said. "We need to take a picture for Snapchat in this huge mirror." I said waving Cal over. He stood behind me and rested his chin on my head and made duck lips. I then decided to also do duck lips. I snapped the picture and put it on my story. At the same time my phone started ringing. I had no idea who it was. I answered hesitently. "Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Blaire." The voice said. I smiled. I knew that voice from anywhere. "I thought I could call you with the help of Tobi so you could have my number." Simon added.

"I'm glad I have it. Listen, I was just about to go out, I'll talk to you in a bit." I told him.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye Si." I said then hung up. "Let's go." I said grabbing Cal's hand and running out the door.
