"How are you feeling now?" Demi asked.

"It's hard because like I get over him a bit and then I remember how happy we was together. I'm really missing him."

"Oh babe." She said and pulled me into a hug. "Have you messaged him?"

"No it's not got that far. I wanted to give him space and I'm not going back on my word."

"Please don't let what I said earlier get into your head either." Demi said. "He may not have been flirting with me and that's probably something you need to have a chat with him about."

"Yeah I think if we're out on the final night then I'll go and speak to him. I want to draw a line under it."

"Would you get back with him?" Chloe asked.

"Never say never but it wouldn't go straight back to fully trusting. We need to build up that relationship again."

"Yeah."

"How's your sister doing?" I asked Demi.

"Alright. She's gone out tonight with Diags and I think that could be make or break. At the end of the day her decision is always going to be hard. They're both friends with him and then you've got my cousin to add into the mix."

"She's got an unenviable task."

The next day Pete decided to take us all out to an island to celebrate our last full day in Thailand. We were all flying back late tomorrow so that will have to be a relaxing day.

On the boat ride there I ended up with Georgia, Tommy and Pete and we all had a good laugh

On the boat ride there I ended up with Georgia, Tommy and Pete and we all had a good laugh. Once we got there though I decided that I needed to go and have a chat to Courtney and Chloe. I didn't want to ruin my time with Shelby and Clelia so they could wait another day.

"Please could I have a chat with you?" I asked the girls as they sat around having a drink.

"Sure."

"I thought after last year we all had each other's backs and we finally all got along. So I just want to know why you didn't ask how I was during the whole Sam and Shelby thing. To me it just seems like you've taken her side and just completely forgotten about me."

"I'm going to be honest with you. It's just so awkward and I really don't know how to address the issue." Chloe said. "We're staying with Shelby and Clelia and I don't want it to be hostile all holiday."

"So why didn't you come up to me in private and ask?"

"It's just been hard and to be honest we don't really want to get involved at all."

"Do throughout this whole thing you've not spoken to Shelby at all?"

"Well of course but...."

"I really don't want to hear some rubbish excuse so you can leave it." I told them. "It doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would do. It's times like this when you can see who your real friends are."

It was becoming dark and I found a Little Rock wall overlooking the beach to sit on. It was so calming just watching the waves roll over the sand, hearing the birds in the trees and watching everyone else.

"Mind someone joining you." I turned and found Sam sitting next to me. "You look a bit lost up here."

"I like it. Just watching how far out you can see and realising all my worries are just insignificant."

"I've missed you babe." Sam admitted.

"Sam!"

"I know we agreed to give each other space but this whole thing has just shown me that I want you so much. No one else."

"But how longs that going to last."

"As long as you'll let it last."

"What about when you go and flirt with someone? Like even my friends have said you're flirty with them."

"Who?"

"Demi."

"Well I can assure you I was not. I'll be happy to speak to her and clear up the situation but I Definitely was not flirting with her." He said and pulled my chin to make eye contact with me. "Why would I ruin what we could have like that?"

"I don't want to have to make you change though but I can't cope with your flirty attitude."

"I promise you we can make it work. One way or another."

"It's not going to be any easier this time though"

"I know but I'm ready to work at it. So what do you say, can we just start again and build it back up to where it was?"

"We can try." I said and both our faces were covered in smiles. "Now come on let's go and have some fun."
