2 hours after

You and Griffin have been hanging out in his room for two hours and you think you told him more than you ever told Jaden.

G - Woah, I didn't know so much about you till tonight
Y/n - You already know the most about me in the house other than Avani
G - I'm gonna go grab your stuff out of Jaden's room and bring it here

He goes to get up but you stop him.

G - What's wrong now?
Y/n - Calm down, I'm gonna text avani so you don't get into fight with Jaden okay
G - Okay

You text Avani.

You text Avani

You hear a knock on your door.

G - I'll ge-

Before he could finish his sentence you were already heading to open the door. You opened it and it was Avani and she handed you your stuff.

Y/n - Thanks Vani
A - No problem babes, so you feel okay after what happened this morning?
Y/n - Griffin's helping me through it, but I still am trying to get fully over it
A - I know it's hard, I had to go through once too
Y/n - You never told me, I thought you only dated Anthony
G - You guys realize I'm still here right
Y/n - Oh shoot, oops sorry Griff

You and Avani head out to her room to talk because Anthony was hanging out with Josh and Jaden.

A - Anyways, yeah. I dated this guy named Peyton, turns out he just wanted to be friends from the start but he told me 3 months into our relationship. He said he didn't want to deny me so he said yes and made himself feel horrible
Y/N - Damn, I'm sorry. When did it happen
A - Remember the time when we had a downfall in trust because you said something that hurt me but turns out you were being honest
Y/N - Yeah why?
A - It happened then
Y/N - I'm sorry.
A - It's fine, I promise. So do you feel more comfortable hanging out with Griffin or do you want me to see if we can put Anthony and Griffin into a room then me and you in this room?
Y/n - I'm good with Griffin, his room basically feels like my safe place right now
A - Okay sounds good, well I'm gonna see if Anthony wants to hang so you can go back with Griffn
Y/n - Bye Vani
A - Bye y/n/n

You walk back to your room and Griffin's on his phone, and it seems like he's angry.

Y/n - Griff, you okay?

He doesn't respond

Y/n - Griffin, are you okay?

He still not responding to you.

Y/n - Griffin Johnson, what's wrong?! Are you okay?!

He still isn't talking so you go up to him and take his phone out of his hands, he looks really angry but also sad.

Y/n - Griff, what's wrong?
G - YOU GET SO MUCH HATE FOR NOTHING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, YOU DON'T DESERVE IT
Y/n - How do you know I get hate?
G  - TikTok posts, even when I went to your first TikTok's there was a lot of hate
Y/n - Hey listen to me okay, I've learnt how to deal with it. Like I said before I've been bullied for 10 years straight, age 4 to 14. Every day I've been put down, its less now but it still happens. I'm not like anyone in this house, but you guys accept me here and I'm happy that you guys accept me. I've got physically, mentally and verbally bullied and that hasn't stopped me from doing anything because I'm still here right? Look I'm not the smartest person in the world but I know for a fact that even if you think of ending it all, don't because if I did before I wouldn't have made it where I am today.
G - How are you so optimistic about the situation?
Y/n - Because, I'm a magician. Nah, I'm just playin' but I am optimistic because even though let in get in the way I still managed to think about the positive things about me. Also it was mostly online because I was home schooled basically all my life
