THE PICTURE ABOVE IS HOW I THINK OF LAMS!

Alex's P.O.V
We walked in front of the three girls and smiled. Eliza smiled brightly and waved at me, I waved back. John looked at me as a reassurance. I nodded. "We're dating." We both said taking each others hands. Peggy clapped and Angelica smiled.

But Eliza looked at me shocked and then straight at the floor. Angelica noticed this and nudged her arm. Then she looked up and weakly smiled. Tf? If anyone I thought shed be the one to be happy.

I glanced at John and he saw her too. He let go of my hand. "Eliza..." He said softly walking up to her. "Hmm." She said with the same fake small smile resting on her thin lips. "What's up?" He said sitting next to her.

      I looked at Angelica and Peggy and they looked at each other in sadness and shock. I walked over to them. "What's happening?" I said quietly. They looked at me with wide eyes "Just... Something." Angelica said then took Peggy by the wrist, leading her back to the other side of the gate. I ran after them.

John's P.O.V
"Whats up?" I asked Eliza sitting next to her. She sighed and shook her head. "Nothing, I'm tired." She said looking at the floor. "Psh, excuses excuses. You were fine 30 seconds ago, you can't lie to save your life." She sighed again. "It's just..... no I-I can't." She said shuffling in her seat.

      "Wait, you can't what?" I asked putting my hand on her arm. "I can't, it'll ruin your relationship with Alex and me." She said getting up. "Eliza!" I said grabbing her wrist. She turned around and had tears welling up.

      "Sit down. Please." I let go of her wrist and she sank into the chair. "Talk." I said as softly as I could. "Well... Just know, that I'm really really happy for you guys." She reassured. I nodded. "Ever... ever since I met Alex, I've had a huge crush on him..." she said burying her head.

      Well shit. I ruined one of my best friends chances to be happy, good job John.

      "And... I was hoping we could have something, but, not everything can go your way... ya know?" She left the last part as a whisper.
"Damn. Liza I'm so sorry, I wish I coulda known then-." My god. Guilt, spilling on the floor. Everywhere, just guilt. "No! It's fine! Your happy and that's all that matters!" She took my hands smiling.

      "But... What about you?" I asked. She sighed. (Again wtf) "Well, obviously me and Alex weren't meant to be. So it woulda gone up in flames anyway." She said nodding. "Did you tell your sisters?" I said looking over to find Alex arguing with Angie and Pegs.

"Yeah. I'll go tell them I'm fine." Eliza said walking over. "I'll come with." I said getting up too.

      When we got to them, Alex was frantically asking what was wrong and why they wouldn't tell him. "Ahem." Eliza got their attention. They looked at her in surprise.

"I'm... im ok." She told them. Angelica and Peggy hugged her and Alex looked at me in confusion, I put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it."

Sorry for the short chapter but I have writers block and I'm sick. See ya.
