Kourtney, Gina, Ashlyn, and I already got a lane set up. We're waiting for the boys to show up. It didn't take much to realize they were here because Carlos came in and started screaming. I swear sometimes this kid is drunk without realizing it.

"Hey guys, ready to play?" Seb asked, setting down a bunch of sodas.

"Yeah, but first we have some questions," Gina said. Once again, you could see the gears turning in her head.

"Ok, shoot," Big Red said calmly. I think he knew where this was headed.

"Same question as last time, what do you know about Jessica?" Ashlyn questioned.

"Actually we found out some things from our guys' night." That had everyone on the edge of their seats. "EJ, why don't you tell them what we know," Big Red said while nodding EJ along.

"What, why me? Why not you, you're closer with him?" EJ counters.

"I don't care who says it, someone just spit it out already!" Kourtney says over top of both of them. She loves tea.

"How about we play a game of bowling? Loser tells," EJ proposes.

"I don't understand why one of you can't man up and say something," Ashlyn complains. Honestly, I was right there with her.

"Because when Ricky gets back I don't want to be at fault. Plus, I already answered your questions the first time around. It's EJ's turn," Big Red said with a grin on his face.

Fine, but can we not do it in public? We owe him that much."

Alright, we'll go to my place after bowling," Ashlyn said.

"But I want to hear the drama!" Carlos whined.

"Let's get started. The faster we get going, the sooner we'll tell you all." That got us going. We all ran around like crazy, going up when it said our names. At this point, I think the only people trying to win were Big Red and EJ. I overheard them talking saying the loser still has to tell us. I didn't care who won if it meant we could figure out what was happening.

"Ok, the bet's still on, right?" I asked Red as we were walking around looking for bowling balls.

"Definitely, I do not want to end up on Ricky's bad side. Especially since he hasn't been himself lately," Big Red told me. We shook on it and the deal was done.

After the game started getting going, I noticed it was just mine and Red's scores that were really up there. The others were probably focused on getting the game over with so they could hear what we had to say. It wasn't anything too interesting though, but I still didn't want to be blamed for this in the end.

"Ha, the only way you could win is if you get a strike," EJ said to me as he was sitting down from his turn. He was two points ahead of me. I can NOT lose. Ok, here goes nothing. I walk towards the lane and let the ball go. The ball hits the pins, and I can't tell how many fell over. We look at the screen to see our scores are...

Sorry for the shorter chapter. It feels like I started writing this so long ago, but it's been just over a month. I still want title suggestions for my Jolivia book.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to address this, I'm not normally the type to get involved in drama. But I feel more people need to hear about this and realize how wrong this is. From both perspectives.

This is absolutely wrong on both sides

This is absolutely wrong on both sides. Touching someone without consent should never be done, and anyone who thinks it's ok is sick. Also, spreading false rumors about someone to 'cancel' them and for attention isn't right either. There's no proof on either side if Joshua did or did not do this. But judging from how many false accusations are occurring in our cruel world right now, I'm gonna lean more toward the side that says he didn't do anything. I want to try and stay neutral, but with everything going on it's hard to. Please be aware this is MY opinion. You don't have to agree with me. This will most likely be the only time I mention this.
