"Ugh! Well you're ugly! "
I chuckled as I listened to the rambling between Ty and Emma as I quietly made my way to the kitchen after arriving just now. It was so funny that she said that, given that they are literally each other in different genders.
They didn't fight often, but when they do, it was always quite funny.
"Well good to see that everyone's still themselves" I made my presence known as I grabbed an apple and bit into it for dramatic effect. I watch way too many movies.
"Victoria!"
"Tori! "
"Yay girl's night!" I gave Emma a deadpanned look at her statement. "What? I already knew you were coming, remember? But that doesn't mean I didn't miss you"
She grabbed me into a hug, soon after which Lincoln and Ashley joined.
"By the way, love the hair" I blushed as she ran her fingers through it.
"While your man has been sulking for five days, you're out getting a makeover. I like your style" She winked, making me laugh nervously.
It was then and there that I noticed I was in the same house as him. I involuntarily looked around, seeing that he wasn't anywhere near here.
"He's in his room," Caleb said, looking down. "I haven't seen him like this since-"
"Ella" I finished for him, feeling a pang of guilt for the pain he has probably been going through.
"He hadn't come out since you left," Ty added. "Only for dinner and a beer, then he disappears again for 24 hours" He sighed, making me feel much worse.
"I'm sorry guys" I looked down, fiddling with my hair.
"You don't have to be sorry Vic. He's the one who messed up" Emma said soothingly. "I honestly thought you would've taken longer to come back"
"Speaking of, what did he do? " Caleb asked as my heart rate sped up.
"He...He accused me of some things I didn't do, then said some other mean stuff that I'd go a lifetime without hearing again" I muttered, giving them a look to say please don't question further.
One, because it would reveal Ashley's pregnancy which I hoped was still a surprise. And two, I really didn't want to repeat what happened.
Ashley gave me a pat on the back and a weak smile as I slowly made my way up the stairs.
