**Ellie's POV**
Maybe Nick is a nice person. I should get to know him. About Josh, it's awkward waking up every morning in the same house as him. Bryce was mad at Josh but I didn't want to destroy their friendship so I asked Bryce not to be mad at him. I woke up, Saturday morning, I wore a reddish crop top and black trousers. Avani and I took some pictures for instagram. I posted two pictures of me and Avani, one of me and Bryce and one with Avani and Anthony.
I made a tiktok. I did "savage". I decided to look through the comments and maybe reply to some.

More tears started coming out of my eyes. I read all the comments. Most of them said that I should die. I heard my door open. I wiped my tears. All the boys and Avani walked in.

B- What was that tweet for?
E- Nothing.
Av- You're lying.
E- No.
J- Ellie, please talk to us.
E- Can you all leave, except Avani.
Everyone walked out. Avani sat down next to me and hugged me. I immediately started crying.
Av- What's wrong beb.
E- All the hate..
Av- Ignore what they say bubs.
E- What about Josh?
A

v- I understand he hurt you but you shouldn't think about that now.
E- I can't take this anymore..
Av- Come here.
I buried my head on her shoulder. I just wanna cry the shit out of me until I can't cry more. I started crying so loud I let a scream come out of my mouth. Avani hugged me tight.
Some of the boys walked in but Avani told them to leave.
I cried for hours. After a while I took a shower to clean myself. I wore a red hoodie and black shorts. I put my hair on a messy bun and headed downstairs. Everyone was there. Bryce got up and hugged me. Then came Anthony. He hugged me and whispered:
A- You okay?
E- Yeah.
A- If you need anyone I'm here for you.
E- Thanks.
I pulled away from the hug. I sat down next to Avani.
G- Hey El.
E- Hey Grif.
I decided to invite Nick over. I had 7 missed calls for him. When Nick arrived we changed into bathing suits and headed to the pool. I think Nick borrowed a bathing  suit from Anthony. Anyways we swam for a bit and the sat down enjoying the view. I turned around and Nick was staring at me. He started leaning in. I did the same. His lips touched mine. We started kissing. Our lips moved in sync. I pulled away after a bit. He pulled me into a hug. After about an hour, Nick left. I was walking down the hallway heading to my room. An arm pulled me inside of an other room.
E- Josh, what the fuck?
J- You kissed Nick.
E- You fucked Nessa.
J- I'm sorry. I thought it would make you jealous.
E- That's the thing. It did make me jealous. But not only that. It broke me.
J- Ellie, I'm so so sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. I'm a dick.
E- No Josh. Don't call yourself that.
J- But I am..
I could see the pain in his eyes. I felt horrible but I couldn't do anything.
E- I need to go now.
J- Wait.
E- No Josh. I want to go to my room.
J- Please..
E- You've done enough.
I started walking towards the door.
J- But I love you.
I turned around in shock. I walked up to him and placed my forehead on his.
E- I love you too, but we can't be together. The only thing that you do to me when I'm with you is make me feel pain and only pain. Bryce is mad at you for what happened, he won't let me date you.
Josh kissed me. It wasn't like any other of our kisses. It was a kiss full of anger. I pulled away. I started walking away once again.
J- Please, stay.
He sat down on his bed. I sat down next to him. I held his hands. Everything went quiet for a second. He turned around and hugged me tightly. I could feel tears coming out of his eyes. I grabbed his face and I could clearly see he was crying. I wiped his tears with my thumb.
J- Just like our first kiss.
E- Yeah.
I chuckled. He leaned in and kissed me. At first I didn't kiss back but then I did. It was wrong but it felt right.
