Brian’s POV

After watching that video of Elody and those guys, I just can’t shake it from my mind. What the Hell am I supposed to think? She let those three guys take advantage of her, and film it! I can’t believe I was actually starting to fall for her. Maybe I should just go back to our tour bus, and stay there, until the guys come back, and we go back to our tour. I’m sitting in my car, with my head in my hands, when I hear a knock on the window. I look up to see Matt.

“What?” I ask, as I roll down the window.

“Brian, what are you doing?” He asks.

“What do you mean?”

“You didn’t even hear her out, you just took off.”

“Is that what she told you?”

“Is that not what happened?”

“Fine, but I don’t understand what there is to explain about letting three different guys take advantage of you, and filming it.”

“She didn’t know what was happening, Brian. They had drugged her.”

“I’m sure.”

“You know exactly what Liam is capable of, what makes you think his friends would be any different? What you really should be worried about is who would even send that video to her. That video happened in the past, and someone wants to dig it up, and stir shit around now.”

“I know exactly what Elody is capable of, too. She slept with her boss for almost two years, behind his wife’s back, and I’m supposed to believe she’s the most trustworthy person?”

“I’m not saying that she hasn’t lied before. Haven’t we all? You really need to think about her, Brian, and how this is affecting her. You need to hear her out, regardless of what you believe, and give her a chance to explain her side of things. Hell, go visit Liam, if you have to, and get his side of the story.Just please come back and talk to her.”

“Fine. I’ll give her a chance.”

“Thank you. I’ll see you back at the house, then.” He walks away, and get back into his car. We both drive back toward Elody and Juliet’s place.

Elody’s POV

We’re all sitting around discussing our favorite movies, when Matt and Brian walk in the door. I stand up from my place on the couch, and walk over to Brian.

“I’m sorry. Can I please explain, now?” I ask.

“Yeah.” He says, and we head upstairs to talk.

“I’m really sorry about that video. I never thought you would take it the way you did. That video took place like two years ago, on Liam’s birthday. He told me he wanted me to go out for drinks with him and a couple of his friends. I don’t remember anything in that video. I just remember having some drinks, and waking up in my bed the next morning. I never knew what took place that night, until I watched that video. I would never have agreed to what they did to me.” I explain.

“I’m sorry that I overreacted. I should’ve waited for you to explain, in the first place.” He says.

“I forgive you. I’m sorry that you had to see me like that. I never wanted any of that to happen, I never asked for them to do that to me. I don’t know who sent that video to me. At first, I was thinking that it was Liam, but he is in jail, so how could he?”

“I don’t know. We will figure it out, though. I’m not scared of a fight.”

“I’m so glad that you care that much, Bri, but I really would rather you not get incarcerated.” I laugh.

“Why not? Would you miss me too much?” He smiles.

“Nah.” I laugh. “Yeah, I would. Who would I get coffee with in the morning, and gossip to?” I smile at him. He takes a step closer, puts a hand behind my neck to pull me closer, and kisses me. I’m sort of shocked, but I can’t say I didn’t see this happening eventually. He pulls away, after a minute.

“I’m sorry… that was really forward of me.” I laugh, and pull him back in, to kiss him.

“I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.” I say, smiling, as I pull away.

“I really do care about you, Elody. I like you.”

“I like you, too.”

“I’m not sure what this means now…”

“Before anything does happen between us, there’s one more thing I need to get out in the open.” I say.

“What’s that?” He asks.

“I’m pregnant.”
