Oliver walked over to me and put his arms around me, engulfing me in a huge bear hug.
“I love you, brother.”
“I love you too, man.”
Vince
Birdie, what the hell happened?
I’m sorry. I should have talked to you in person before I left. I know I messed things up for you and Bronson and you both probably hate me now.
I just don’t understand what happened?
I don’t think I’m ready to talk about it.
Was it Knox?
Birdie??
Adelaide
B,are you ok?
Yeah.
No.
Fuck, I don’t know.
I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye.
Girl, it’s ok. Mel and I are just worried about you. Can we video call soon?
Of course. Miss you both. xo
xo
Mel
Sam told me what happened. I am so sorry.
Thx, I don’t even really know what to do now. I’m staying at Sam’s until I find a place.
I also want to apologize for not telling you about…well, being gay. I haven’t really come out to anyone. I think my mom suspects and honestly, I think it’s why she pushed for me to be a part of this stupid competition. Probably hoping that a prince is just what I need to suddenly be straight. I really wanted to tell you and Adelaide. I didn’t want you to find out the way you did.
Mel, you don’t owe me any explanation. That is your story to tell when you’re ready. I just want you to be happy and if you and Sam make each other happy, then I’m happy for both of you.
I’m going to talk to Oliver tomorrow. I don’t think I want to officially pull out of the competition, I think it would bring too much attention, but he deserves to know at least some of the truth.
If that’s what you feel comfortable with, then I fully support you. I’m irritated as fuck with Oliver right now, but it doesn’t change that he’s a good guy at heart. I’m sure he’ll understand.
I hope you’re right.
Here for you, always.
This competition may be stupid, but I’m glad it brought us together.
HA! Couldn’t agree more.
