Giovanna's POV

I stayed locked in my room for the next day or so, Kara was supplying me with food and water while everyone else just kinda watched?

"What do they do out there?" I ask Kara as she sneaks through the small opening between the door and the wall, "We just talk and you know, eat a lot of food." Kara says; blushing slightly.

"Food sounds good right now, have you got any?" I ask her as I pause my How I Met Your Mother episode on Netflix.

It's a great show, really.

"Look, you can't stay in here all day and night. They're really starting to worry about you, especially Emma and Stella." Kara says while handing me a sandwich.

"Shit, I totally forgot about them." I mumble, taking out my phone to quickly send a text to them.

To: Emmalyn<3 and StellaBear

Shit guys, I'm so sorry. Come up into my room and I'll apologize for everything, I'm so fucking sorry.

From: Gio (fucker)

Within seconds, there's several pounds on the door.

But before I could open it, the door swings open and reveals a pissed Stella and Emma.

"You little fucker, you're lucky I actually had the strength to pound on this door for you." Emma says as Stella attacks me with a hug.

"Are you okay though?" Emma asks me, making sure that she didn't whip my ass with the door.

"Told you that they worry about you." Kara says as she sits down carefully on the bed.

"It's just a laptop, it won't fall off if you wanna slam onto the bed." I say; winking mischievously at Kara.

"No, no it's not the laptop I'm worried about..." Kara says as she stares blankly at us.

"What did Michael do to you?" Stella asks me while sitting down next to Kara.

"Oh, um, nothing really. I overreacted." I say.

Lies.

"The boys miss you, Michael is a mess though." Emma says; biting her lip.

Lies.

"Well I guess I get to see how much of a mess he is," I say as I pause to stand up.

"I'm joining you for dinner starting tonight, let's just see how Michael handles himself then." I say as they all shoot a look to one another.

I knew what was coming.

I just didn't know how much it would hurt to actually see it.

-

''Ahh! Gio-raffe! There she is, where have you been?'' Ashton asks as I walk into the living room.

Michael immediately shoots his head up, but then back down to his phone.

I wonder what he's doing.

''Well um, if you must know, I'm actually on my period and I've had some really bad cramps that hurt like shit so I just stayed in my room while I could.'' I say. 

I was lying.

Well kind of, I was lying about the period part but not about the pain.

The truth is, I felt pretty sad about shutting Michael out like that. All he's ever been is nice to me and after just one night on the beach, I close him off.

''Yeah we didn't need to know that, you could've just said, well, I don't really know.. hah.'' Luke goes on.

He's so awkward, haha.

''Thought you should know why I've been such a hermit lately. Anyways, what's for dinner, I'm STARVING.'' I say, making sure to emphasize 'starving'.

''Wait, let me guess. You only came back out to eat so then when we're done eating a real dinner like a real family, you're gonna go back into your little hole and stay there until whenever. Sounds like a 12 year old, hormonal fangirl to me.'' Calum remarks.

''Shut up Calum.''Michael quietly says from his small spot on the couch.

''Oh shit, it speaks.'' Stella says.

''Fuck off.'' Michael replies, this time loud enough for everyone to actually hear.

''Michael, can we talk for a minute.'' I quietly ask.

He slowly and hesitantly gets up and follows me to my room.

''So this is where you've been for the past like few days.'' Michael plainly says.

''Okay, what's your problem, why are you being so bitter towards your roommates?'' I ask sternly.

"They said some things and to be quite honest, I'm not happy with them." Michael says; folding his arms over his chest.

"If they said things about me, you know I can handle it." I say as I gently rub his shoulder.

"But you've been fighting these fights on your own for too long. You don't deserve to be treated like this." Michael says sympathetically.

"I'm strong enough. I've been through worse than this." I say as I pull Michael out with me back into the crowded kitchen.

"I'm sorry Gio, I just got a little mad at you for ignoring me when I did nothing wrong. I'm sorry." Calum says and I nod at him, showing him that I accept his apology.

"Listen you sluts," I say as I (what Luke would call) pause for emphasis.

"stop saying that we're a family if you're just going to insult me, it fucking hurts hearing it come from you." I say.

"I don't know what I said wrong." Michael mumbles; looking up at me guiltily.

"It's complicated." I say as I turn away from him.

"It's only getting more and more complicated with you blocking us out for no reason." Michael says as everyone tenses up around us.

I stare Michael dead in the eyes, trying to communicate with him like that before turning away to Kara, "Get the car ready, let's get out." I say as I grab my jacket off the hook.

"Wait, Gio!" Stella yells after me as I rush out the door.

I turn to see her blue head of hair looking down at the floor slowly.

"Forget her." I hear Emma mumble before someone slams the door shut.

I take a second to look at the closed door just as my phone buzzes.
