Aubrey gently messed with Josh's fingers as they sat side by side in a large room, surrounded by all of the teammates and staff, it was the late of the afternoon and they had a game the next evening. For now though, they were all hanging out together and laughing at the antics of some of the people in the group.

"Are you alright?" Josh muttered as he turned and looked at Aubrey with his piercing blue eyes. "You seem upset."

"Just tired," Aubrey mumbled and he nodded, placing a kiss to her forehead and allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder. In all honesty she was pissed off, whilst her, Chloe and Tara had been on the way to the boys hotel from the cafe had grilled her about her short encounter with Wil as if it meant something to her. As Josh gently ran a hand through her hair, calming her immensely, she made eye contact with Bailey who immediately stood up and motioned for her to follow. "Duty calls."

"Are you sure you're alright?" Aubrey pecked Josh and smiled at him in the hopes of assuring him before she made her way to where Bailey was standing, looking wearily in her direction.

"How may I help you Bazlenka." Aubrey said giggling at the nickname, she always thought it sounded a bit ridiculous but he had always liked it, thought it made him sound cool.

"I was talking to Tara." He paused and surveyed his sister to see what kind of reaction she may give, when she didn't say a word he decided to continue. "She was telling me about your interaction with a certain Sun."

"They're still going on about that?" Aubrey asked exasperatedly. "Well you tell her that I'll start suspecting that something is going on with her and Josh every time she so much as looks at him."

"Chill out there Aubs, I just wanted to make sure that there was nothing suspicious going on. You might be my sister but Josh may as well be my brother and I care about him a lot as well." Bailey threw his arms up in surrender, taking the brunt of his sisters anger that shouldn't have been directed at him in the first place definitely wasn't in his plan.

"No, the fact that you even had to come over here and check. You think that I would make somebody feel the way that I felt when I found out about Ryley? You think that lowly of me?" Aubrey asked angrily and Bailey noted that she sounded offended. And she was, so beyond offended because he was one of the few people that she had willing talked to for at least a month post finding out about the boy cheating on her and the fact that he still had even the slightest of suspicions hurt her feelings more then she let on.

"You know I don't."

"Tell Josh that I'm going to his room if he bothers asking and tell your girlfriend and Chloe that I'll stay the night with Josh if he's okay with that." Bailey knew better then to argue so he simply sighed and nodded as his left sister stalked away from him.

Aubrey knew that she was probably being quite unreasonable about the whole situation, she had gotten a lot more angry at everyone involved then maybe she should have. It just bought up such bad memories for her that she would much rather leave in the past, she had tried to push them behind her and for some reason all in one night they seemed to be coming back to her. She was distraught and her way of calming herself down was to write it all out as she hugged one of the pillows from the double bed close to her chest. She jumped as she heard her phone go off but picked it up after her heart had calmed down and smiled slightly when she saw who had dmed her. Funnily enough he was the source of what seemed to be half of her problems but she herself had no issues with the boy and wouldn't rid him from her company purely because of other people's issues, Aubrey decided that she would text Wil back the next day and returned to writing everything out, feeling slightly better that she had at least managed to make a new friend.

"Aubrey?" Josh's voice questioned delicately as he opened the door and looked at her, his eyes showing a certain tenderness that she still wasn't fully used to. "Bailey said you were a little bit upset and he suggested that I should check on you."

"I'm okay." She said once again, very unconvincingly that even she didn't believed herself. "It's just... you trust me right?"

"Of course I do, now tell me what's going on, you can trust me as well. I promise you I won't tell a soul if you don't want me to." He stuck out his pinky and Aubrey laughed as she remembered when he did that just before she told him all about Ryley and what he had done to her.

"Chloe and Tara aren't trusting me on something and it just really got to me. It's stupid, I'm just really not in the mood for any bullshit today." She admitted and he silently moved her forwards so that he cousins sit behind her. His legs were on either side of her body as she leant back to rest on his chest. "Can I stay here the night?"

"You sure can, but tomorrow morning when you're rested and in a better mood I want you to at least try and talk to them. Okay?" Josh asked and she nodded as her eyes started to flutter closed. "Goodnight beautiful."

"Night."
