"Let me see them, Rich!" "You can't, y/n!" "And why is that?" "Because," "I can handle it, Richard."

"Not this time,"

"You are so fucking stupid!"

The redheads face drops at my tone. His eyes wide with fear and guilt. Then his head drops down. Eli can't even look at me.

"How dare you kiss someone's girlfriend! You knew everything that was going on! And you do stupid fucking shit like this!"

I yell with pure anger. "And not just someone's girlfriend, your best friends girlfriend. And then you give the pictures to them!"

"I didn't think Billie and I would even form a conversation, let alone kiss!

Don't blame me for something I didn't know was gonna happen!" Eli's eyes flare up to meet mine. I breath out my nose roughly. "You gave the pictures taken of you two kissing to y/n. Why?! Of all things! Who would even print those?!"

Eli's head goes back down, his eyes filling with more guilt, and sadness. He can't feel anything more then guilt and sadness right now. He knew he fucked up big time!

"Eli."

He knew who took them. I just know it. That reaction wasn't for show.

He then mumbles something. "What was that?" I ask.

"It was Grayson and his boys." Eli whispers just loud enough.

"Fucking shit," I say under my breath.

"He can't keep doing this to us." I repeat over and over in my head.

"I know what you're thinking. I know he can't keep finding little ways to mess with our lives. But Rich I-" Eli tried to speak out but cut himself off. "What is it now, Eli?" I ask. For gods sake what is this boy gonna say next.

"I liked Billie when y/n and her started talking. I backed off,

and the feelings of anything happening disappeared. But that night was horrible. She got blasted. I truly didn't think that we were gonna kiss. You have to believe me, Rich!" The fear in this mans voice was unsettling. Eli walked up to me and embraced me in a tight hug. I hug back after a second, realizing Eli was even touching me. "You have to trust me. I don't want to lose y/n over this," his voice was muffled but I could hear the voice crack loud and clear. He was on the verge of tears.

I honestly felt bad for him. He didn't know it was gonna happen, let alone be printed and mailed to our house by Grayson. Eli thought giving them to y/n would be the right thing to do instead of waiting for her to find out. And in a sense I could see why he did it. Grayson is ruining our lives. While Billie is just barely hanging on a strand to keep my trust. But I can't blame her for this either. She was so worried about people finding out to soon, and it got to her bad.

Maybe kissing him would clear things up, but at least get your girlfriend on board before kissing

someone else to get people off your back.

Billie is going down a path of depression and trust issues. We all just want to be happy in the end but it has to be ruined by Grayson or by other dickheads. Hopefully, just hopefully, y/n will understand and we could move on. What a show to watch.
