Ivan's P.O.V:

The Team 10 members and I walk upstairs to see what Emilio is doing.
We open the door and he's laying down with music coming from his phone.

"Emilio?" I say. "Que quiren" Emilio responds. We walk in and we gather around him.

"We aren't going to let you be like this!"Chance says. "You need to get up and fight for her. If you really love her. Do you?" Anthony says. "Yes" he says whining.

"But she hates me, she doesn't want to talk to me" Emilio says putting his head in the pillow.

"That is just an excuse"Erika says. "You can't give up on her"Jake adds. "Sometimes us girls say things we don't mean when we're mad or hurt. How do you know if she'll forgive you or not if you never even try"Erika says.

Emilio looks at us. He gets up. "You're right"Emilio says. "I'm going to clean myself up. I need her." He says grabbing a towel.

Kian's P.O.V: We were sitting on her roof where there was a great perfect view of the sun setting. Elaina and Jc always like looking at the clouds like weirdos. I mean it looks cool but they can stay up here for hours just looking at the sky. Like do they speak cloud or?

"I'll never understand why you guys are obsessed with clouds" I say. They laugh.

"We would watch the clouds when we were little too. Miss those times. We never even see each other anymore" Elaina says. "I'm sorry Elaina. That's gonna change."Jc says.

"I'm going to be honest. I'm so insecure about everything. They want me to join Team 10 and I don't know if I should. People would say horrible things about me cause I hung out with you guys. Imagine if I joined Team 10. What if I don't want to be a social media star. What if I just want to be me" Elaina said.

"Do what is going to make you happy"I respond. "I just want to have fun and go on adventures. I don't know what I want. I mean being internet famous would be cool, but then again. I don't think I want to do it"She says.

"And another thing. I probably sound like an insecure fuck, but Emilio has lines of girls waiting for him. How am I any different from all of those girls. One day he could just say "next" and another girl will show up." She says looking down.

"Listen Elaina, it doesn't matter. You are you. And you are amazing, and smart, and funny, and goofy, and beautiful. If Emilio or any other person can't see that, well then they're fucking idiots"I say.

"Emilio makes me feel...rad." She sighs. "I'm such a dork. But I can't explain it. Hes such a great person. He has these beautiful blue green eyes, when he smiles its like everything stops for a moment. He has these little freckles on his lips that are so adorable, when he laughs i smile. And he has the cutest accent. I wonder what he's doing right now"She says staring off in the clouds.

"Sounds to me that you're in love"Jc says. "What?Psshhh you're...thats crazy. No."She says twitching her nostrils. "We know you're lying. You always twitch your nose like a bunny when you're nervous or lie"I say

"How could it be possible that I love him. I've only known him for like a month. He told me he loved me but I didn't say it back because I thought that I wasn't ready. I've always loved him, I just thought it was too crazy to love someone that fast. From the first time I ever saw him I knew that he was special."Elaina says.

"That's called love at first sight" Jc says. "But that's crazy. That's not real. It's not possible"She says. "Impossible is only a word"I say.

Elaina's P.O.V:
I was staring into the clouds in my own world with my own thoughts.

Then my phone rang
