"They said it was suppose to be an hour. It's already three am!" Gilinsky said walking around.
"G, calm down," Ethan says. Aaron and Carter just exchanged glances.
"No, I'm not gonna calm down. My bestfriend got stabbed and you want me to calm down, Dolan!" Gilinsky turned to look at him.
"Ethan, just don't say anything else," Grayson says softly.
"I'm sure that he's fine," Nash said sitting up straight. He cleared his throat and rubbed his eyes. I got up and their eyes followed me. I went looking for a coffee maker.

f/a: this flashback wasn't in any chapters bc they happened along the days that he stayed in her place
flashback
"I hate this," I groaned, annoyed at the fact that we have to be putting these stupid papers up in every corner.
"You'll hate it less if you don't whine, Mendoza," JJ spoke from a lamppost.
"Yeah right, JJ," I rolled my eyes and he just chuckled.
"Look, this fundraiser will help us out with that car you want. We can save some money along the way," he smiles.
"JJ I would rather work for it. This fundraiser is for school," I lifted the stack of papers in my hands.
"So what, we steal a few bucks. You get to save up for a car," he smirks making me laugh.
I hit him lightly and he chuckled. He hugged me sideways and we started walking back home.

"Hey," Shawn said from beside me. I wiped the tear that was rolling down my cheek.
"Hi," I said grabbing the cup from the machine and putting a cap on it.
"You okay?" He asks softly making me sniffle. "I'm fine, Shawn. Thanks for asking," I grabbed a straw.
"No you're not," he shook his head. I looked down and looked back at him. "It's been three hours and I'm losing my mind," I shook my head.
"It's gonna be okay, Día," He pulled me in and hugged me. He's so warm and cozy. I pulled away and I saw Ethan standing there looking at us. Shawn looked at me and back at Ethan and went back with the others.
"So you guys are a thing now?" He asks with his hands in his pockets.
"No, he's being nice. Besides you and I are over. You knew that right when you kissed Beth," I sniffle. Did I really just say that?
"So, now that we're over you wanna be with Shawn?" He asks, brows knitted.
"No! Ethan just stop. Clearly there is so much going on here. I can't deal with you right now," I turned around and started walking back.
"Dia!" He called out.
--
"I hate him," I ran my hand through my hair.
"Who?" JJ asked coming in with a plate of food in his hand.
"Ethan, we keep arguing over stupid things and it just drives me insane," I shake my head I stared down at the floor.
"Well, maybe you guys just need sometime alone," he shrugs and takes a seat beside me.
"Really, JJ?" I furrowed my brows. "I can barley stand him," I sigh and he snorts.
"Come on you guys haven't been together, together ever since you guys got back from Jersey," he nudged me. "Maybe you need sometime alone,"
"Probably because he's being selfish of the Martinez twins," I blew out air and JJ just handed me bacon.
"Dia, as your second bestfriend- because Jamie took my place in first -I'm gonna give you advice," he pointed with his bacon making me chuckle.
"Really?! Jack Johnson is giving love advice?" I asked and he just threw a piece of egg.
"Shut up," we both started laughing. "Okay, you go with what your heart wants then," he adds making me roll my eyes.
"Okay, like I didn't know that,"
"No, really, just go where your heart wants you to go. Where does your heart wanna go now"
"Pizza Hut, I'm hungry," I stared out into space
making JJ snap his fingers in front of my face.
"Uhh, Dia, I'm trying give you some good ass advice here," he gestured and I just put my hands up in defense.
"Okay, my heart says that I love Ethan no matter what. Now... can we get pizza?" I asked with a grin.
"Okay, that's what I wanted to hear. Let's go," he sighed, standing up.

I walked to the group and sat down. Hayes looked at me and so did Nash.
"I'm okay," I said sipping my coffee. "How are you guys?" I asked.
"Could be better," Hayes says with his head hung low. "I just need them to come out already," Nash sighed. "This is scary,"
"Hey," Gilinsky sat down beside me. He rubbed his head.
"Hey, how are you doing?" I asked. I handed him the cup of coffee.
"I'm not so great. But I just hope JJ is gonna be okay," he said looking at me. I shook my head and avoided his gaze.
"That's all I've been hearing. Tell me something I don't know," I rubbed my sleepy eyes. "Just a little hint he's fine," he says, throwing his head back and staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah, just a hint," I mumbled, staring at the floor.
"Family of Jack Johnson!"
