RUEL'S POV

My blood boils as I realise what the pictures were and I threw them onto the counter. I turn to Elliot, grabbing his collar as everyone yelled at me to stop

R: 'What the fuck mate. I thought we were friends'

T: 'Ruel, stop!'

R: 'I can't believe you would even think of doing that' my grip tightens around his collar as my fist lifts but I feel a hand stopping me from releasing my anger out of him

M: 'Ruel, calm down!'

I shake my arm out of her grip and run my hair through my hair, angered and frustrated

A: 'Elliot, we're done' I look at her with tears streaming out of her eyes, clearly just as hurt as I was 'I don't care when those photos were taken, how could you do that to Ruel...I'm going home' she wipes her tears and starts to walk towards the door.

G: 'I'll drive you home...Not cool man. Thought you were the loyal one.' he shakes his head before leaving the house.

T: 'I better go too...I knew you were keeping a secret from all of us. Don't try to deny that you didn't know about this' I watch as she gives Mia a bitch stare before leaving with a slam of the door.

R: 'When were those photos? Because I wasn't there for those'

E: 'Asia tour'

R: 'I wasn't fucking talking to you asshole, I was asking Mia, she apparently knows more than we thought'

E: 'You asked a question and got an answer!'

R: 'Get out of my house. I don't ever want to talk to you again'

M: 'Ruel, don't say that...'

R: 'No, it's true. Get out, I hate you' I say, my eyes fixated on Elliot and I watch him walk out of my house.

M: 'Are you ok? Do you want some water or..keep watching the movie?'

R: 'Leave me alone...Get out of my house Mia..'

M: 'Ruel-'

R: 'You kept this from me...Just leave'

I looked at the ground as I heard her walk out of the house and I storm outside and went into the shed. I plug in my electric guitar and earplugs, zoning out everything and everyone in the world. I just needed to play my music.

The Next Day

I woke up to a conversation downstairs and after I threw on a shirt, I looked over the railing to see Alannah and Coco talking. As Coco made eye contact with me, Alannah looked up with worried eyes

A: 'You're not mad at me are you...'

R: 'No, you're all good to be in the house' I chuckle as I jog downstairs.

C: 'I'll give you guys some space' she smiles at Alannah before walking upstairs to go into the study.

R: 'Coco' I say, still feeling her stay at the top of the stairs

C: 'Fine' she groans as she final leave sand Alannah chuckles

A: 'I love your sister' she smiles as I go to the fridge. 'So, um, last night was a bit hectic wasn't it'

R: 'Why did you dump Elliot? He didn't cheat on you' I pull out the orange juice and then 2 glasses

A: 'He lied. He hurt you and that's not the Elliot that I want to be a relationship with. I mean, I just am so disappointed in him...How could he kiss her knowing that you two had been dating for at least 2 years? I just wish it wasn't her in the pictures...There was a mix-up and that girl Elliot was kissing wasn't her, you know?' I slide the glass of orange juice across to her and she smiles
