As the girls comforted her, the boys also came over. They quickly rushed upstairs and they found the girls already there. "Is she okay?" Daniel asked as she rushed over to them, "does she look okay?" Destiny remarked, "Don't start you too, Li needs our comfort right now!" Aria stated, Josh grabbed Daniel's hand and pulled him aside. "I thought what you said last night was all a joke," he remarked, "it was, she was next to me last night she saw it and everything!" He replied, "So how is this possible?" He asked, "I don't know either!" He replied, "Let's just forget this and go comfort her." Daniel said walking away from the conversation. After hours of staying with her and comforting her Elizabeth fell asleep. There were hesitant about whether they should leave or stay with her longer. But they didn't need to think too much since they all know who was staying and who was leaving. You see Li has this habit of holding or hugging something when she falls asleep and when she fell asleep she grabbed onto Josh's hand and mumbles "Please don't go." The others looked at each other and nodded their head. "What come on guys, you can't be serious," Josh said still holding her hand, "Come on man, just this on time I thought you guys were on good terms already," Daniel begged him, "holding her hands is not a problem, but what if her boyfriend comes over," he explained, "boyfriend?" The girls looked at him confused, "what don't look at me, he the one who told me that she had one," he remarked pointing at Daniel. "What did you do this time Daniel!" Destiny said grabbing his ear and pulling it, "Oww!" He cried out loud, "It was I Joke between me and Li!" He confessed, "Look Josh she doesn't have a boyfriend I was just Joking with you last night!" He said with his ear still being pulled. "Can you please let me go now!" He pleaded, Destiny sighed and released his ears. "My poor ear!" He cried holding his ears, "Look Josh it won't hurt staying with your ex for like an hour or two, plus you guys are friends so it won't be awkward." Destiny stated, "So please just stay with her for a while, so we can find out who released that video." She said, "Okay but I won't stay for long." He agreed. "Thank you!" Aria said as they walked out.
As they were coming downstairs Elizabeth's mom asked, "Is she okay?" "Don't worry, she's with Josh she'll be fine." Love replied holding her hand, "Well be back later to check on her." Destiny said as they walked out. Elizabeth's mom smiled and closed the door.
"That little bitch!" Destiny blurted out as they walked to the car, "What's wrong with you?" Aria asked the concern, "Look she's saying is Cora," Love remarked, "Why would Cora do it?" Daniel asked, "Who else will want to ruin Elizabeth's life?" Love asked as they entered the car, "I warned her not to mess with me but she didn't listen!" Destiny huffed and she turned on the car, "Things are about to go wild!" Sammy said to them, "Like wild, wild?" Daniel asked, "Bro, be for real right now!" Love said looking dead in the eye, "What, I just want to know the limit she's going to, you know Cora she has tons of shit on her." He remarked, "Okay babe, that's enough from you. You don't want Des to spill on you too do you?" She asked, "Nope, I'll keep my mouth closed." He said putting his hand over his mouth.
Back in Elizabeth's house in her room. Josh sat there in silence with his hand still holding her hand. "Just last night you were telling me you moved on but here you are holding my hand," he sighed, "what am I supposed to do now!" He sighed, looked at her, and slightly smiled. He caught himself staring for too long that the thought of kissing her came to mind. "You look so peaceful when you're sleeping," he said as he stroked her hair, "I admit what I did to you was wrong but I can't go on a day without thinking of you." H confessed, "If I could go back, I wouldn't do something stupid like that." She said smiling, "I low-key kinda miss you." He smiled.
That whole weekend the friend group stayed over at Elizabeth's house and comforted her. I was scared to school since the whole school could have seen the video by now but the others assured her that everything was going to be okay. So on that Sunday night the night before spring ended the girls slept over at her house and planned to go to school with her. They made sure that she was feeling fine and she was feeling safe.
On that Monday morning, the girls woke up earlier than they normally do. They tried so hard to wake Elizabeth up so she could go to school but she didn't budge. After a long trial of trying to wake her up, they finally managed to wake her up and got her to get ready for school. When they finished getting ready they met the boys outside waiting for them. When they got outside Li was covering herself with her hoodie so they couldn't see her. "Come on Li, cheer up everything is going to be okay trust me." Daniel said as he hugged her, "Right, you're going to have a little laugh of your own." Sammy added patting her shoulders. "We should go now," Josh said as he entered the car.
When they got to the school Elizabeth was scared to get out of the car afraid of the looks she will get. The other assured her that everything was going to be okay but she didn't budge. "I don't care what you guys say I'm not going anywhere," she cried, "Come Li, we promise it's going to be fine," Destiny assured her, "No it's not okay! Everyone has seen the video and they think it's me!" She hid her face not trying to cry, "you guys should go first I'll bring her," Josh said, they all looked at him confused and he smiled and nodded. They all sighed and walked out. Josh also got out of the car and went to the back seat. "Are you just going to sit here and cry like a baby?" Josh asked sitting next to her "Bro it's that your way of comforting someone," she said as she looked up, "what, do you want me to say "It's going to be okay?" He remarked, "Bro come on, Li you know your better than this, we all know that you're not the girl in the video so what's the point of acting like this." He stated, "Who cares what these people think, all that is important is that you know the truth so don't worry about what other people think." He comforted her, "So what if they think you're a whore, the only important thing is that you know yourself and you don't need to care about others." He said, "So if you don't get your butt up I have no choice but to drag you out of my car." He said shrugging his shoulders, Elizabeth smiled and burst out laughing. "I never know a dumb person like you could say something like," she smiled, "well you know dumb people can also be smart." "So are you coming or are you going to cry like a baby?" He asked as he got out of the car and reached his hand out to her, "well I guess I'll come out." She replied smiling she held his hand and walked out of the car.
