lia laid in her bed, kept awake by the thought of her boyfriend ignoring her.
they'd been fighting since he got back. he was mad because he'd seen lia talking to her lab partner, who happened to be a man.
joshua was always the jealous type. lia didn't mind it at first, until it got to the point of him getting aggressive.
she remembered him pinning lia against the wall in anger after seeing her hug a guy, a guy that was tutoring her. she had bruises on her neck for weeks, and told herself it was an accident.
but since then, josh only got worse.
but she loved him. and kept telling herself he didn't mean it, and she'd justify the worst things.
lia grabbed her phone, seeing the time. 5:45 am. she groaned and opened the messages app, to see nothing from josh. she sighed and just kept staring at the blank screen, nearly crying.
3rd person in somerville:
matt, chris, and nick hadn't talked to eachother (or anyone) about their newest findings. how could they?
nick spent his time sleeping. in his bed, on the couch, in class, the dinner table. trying to forget the feeling. hoping he would wake up and it would be gone.
matt spent his time in his room. not crying or laughing. just, numb. hoping it was a dream. never sleeping. not working in school. anxiety attack after anxiety attack.
chris pushed himself into his sports and school. he went to practice, came home, and practiced in the backyard. even when his parents told him to come inside and eat, he'd only think about lacrosse. he never slept, just did homework.
marylou was so worried about her boys, everytime she asked what had happened they'd all just shut her out. even her famous cookies didn't get the boys to talk. eventually she began to worry that something related to the allen's was the reason they were acting this way.
3rd person back in LA:
loreli was now driving to joshua's house, hours had passed and still no response. now it was 8:45. pm.
so she got into her car and drove.
"hello loreli! are you here for joshua?" mrs. brown exclaimed as loreli walked into the house, the clicks of her heels hitting the marble floor.
"yes, i'm sorry this is unexpected" she responded while fiddling with her purse that hung from her shoulder.
"well he's upstairs with emily,"
"who the hell is she?" lia asked blankly, the woman just shrugged and walked away.
lia wasn't jealous like josh would've been. she was scared. scared she was going to get hurt if she walked up the stairs into her boyfriends room.
but still, she did.
lia was greeted with josh shirtless, making out with a completely naked girl. she gasped and shut the door, making her presence known.
josh stood up right away as the blonde girl rushed to put clothes on, lia standing there stunned.
"what the hell are you doing?!" joshua yelled at his girlfriend, walking closer. loreli got scared any backed up, still stunned.
"i could ask you the same," was all she could manage to say. joshua simply grabbed the girls wrist when she tried to leave. "josh that hurts," lia said as she watched his knuckles get white.
"i just figured that because you were sleeping with other people that i could too," he spat, grabbing lorelis other wrist with the same pressure as the other.
"i was not sleeping with anyone else!" she yelled, trying to escape joshua's grasp. once the blonde girl had left josh let it all free.
he pushed the girl against the wall, moving one of his hands to her neck, using the other to slap her repeatedly. he didn't stop while he screamed at her.
"WE ARE OVER YOU SLUT" joshua said, ending the sentence with a punch instead of a slap.
loreli was speechless. she physically could not form words. josh simply let go of her and she ran out the door.
3rd person in summerville:
for the first time in 2 weeks, the triplets were together in the same room, all awake, and not forced.
"i'm gonna follow her. we can't avoid her forever." nick said, his brothers nodding.
"let's all follow her."
3rd person in LA:
john and jacob greeted loreli when she walked in the door. luckily, the bruises hadn't formed on her yet and she was wearing a turtle neck.
jacob had an absolute happy face, john not so much.
"yes?" she asked quietly, confused but not wanting to break into tears.
"my job is relocating. we're moving." john stated simply, making loreli forget about what had happened 29 minutes before. he face brightened right away, she hated la. the fans never left her alone. once she got bombarded with questions while she was walking to see her mothers grave.
"what?" she asked happily, a smile stretching across her face.
"back to somerville!" jacob couldn't contain his happiness, and finally let it spill. loreli gasped in shock before she started jumping up and down in excitement with her brother.
