el:
edwin turned around really quickly and gave me the most comforting hug. austin notices too, and he makes his way towards us. meanwhile, nick's on the couch with his earbuds on minding his own business, not aware of what's happening.

"it's nothing zion, she held onto my hand cause she was gonna start crying, i held her hand back to squeeze it continuously it to make sure she wouldn't cry, and well you triggered her," brandon explains.

"oh so you're blaming ME," zion exclaims.

nick heard what zion said, he turns around and realizes what's happening. he sees me crying, then starts sprinting towards me, he pushes edwin off to hug me.

"GET THE FUCK OFF HER NICK!" zion screams.

nick ignores zion's stupid comment. i couldn't ignore it, more tears come out.

"DUDE! have more trust in your relationship. none, i repeat NONE of us are going to try anything with her," austin exclaims.

"she loves you bro, nick is just nick c'mon now," edwin says.

"oh wow, so now i'm the bad guy," zion says.

"NO! stop fighting... please stop fighting." more tears come out.

"you can't blame me for being jealous. first off, nick flirted with you before we became a thing. not so long ago, he talked to you alone. after that, i caught you two on your bed. today, i just saw you holding brandon's hand and now nick's on top of you," zion argues.

"oh my goodness zion. i already explained everything to you. you know why we were talking, you apologized to nick for jumping into conclusions. brandon literally JUST explained to you why we were holding hands. nick we just comforting me, and you didn't even think to hug me."

"i'm going upstairs i'm done for today," he just walked away, into his room.

"don't mind him el, it's okay," austin says.

"he'll come around," edwin says, confidently.

"no, it's not okay. we've had multiple arguments because of his jealousy issue."

"maybe, i should just move out for a while?" nick suggests.

"NO! you're not going anywhere, this isn't your fault."

"wait. why are you even crying?" edwin asks.

"uh i don't think it's the best time for her to tell you, especially after zion's outburst," austin says hesitantly.

"wait you know? i'm assuming brandon does too," nick says, confused.

"yea, sorry dude," brandon says.

"it's all good, but i think we all need to rest," nick suggests.

we all agree, and head into our rooms.

i can't help but think of zion, well duh he's my boyfriend. i need him to stop being jealous with everything. he gets pissed when he sees me with anyone of the boys alone, especially nick. he's probably gonna be a monster reacting to reid and i talking. i need to fix us, hopefully he comes around though. i honestly should be mad at him for just assuming and not doing anything when i broke down into tears, that's a dick move on his part.

nick's head pops through my door, "um, el.. can i come in?"

"sure, come in."

"i think i'm gonna go back home to jersey for a while, just so zion won't be so harsh."

"for how long."

"two months? i don't know."

"two months?! that's way too long."
