Intro: This is the beach. The place to find the perfect summer romance and we found some hot singles who want to try.
They think they are here to find love, but they'll live the dream for twenty four hours before we ruin their paradise and send them to "ex-hell".
We collected all their exes and they'll show up during their stay at the villa.
Some ex's want revenge. And others want romance. One thing is for sure, all hell will break loose.
They'll be terrified. But, whose ex is next?

[villa]

After the boys left the villa, the girls decided to go to the open area and chat. Even if they weren't the closest friends, they thought that since their vacation wasn't going to last forever they should at least try to get along.

-So... how were things before I came?- Gwen asked.

-Things were quite normal, besides the fight during Heather's first night here.- Zoey answers.

-Wait... Heather got on a fight on her first night? I guess some things never change.- Gwen says and Heather shows a fake smile.

confessional on
Heather: Do I like her? No. Do I trust her? Hell no. But I'm going to keep it cute for now.

-And the couples are basically the same. Courtney and Duncan, Heather and Alejandro, Bridgette and Geoff... -Dawn says.

-Wait a damn minute... There's no Alejandro and I, what we have is totally casual.

-Sure...-the girls say in unison.

-Honey, you can say that to anyone but me. I'm in that bedroom too, you know?- Courtney says.

-Just because we had sex, doesn't mean that we are a couple.- Heather says- But... I'm really surprised that you can hear something with all that noise that you guys make...

-Wait... you guys do it with others in the room?-Bridgette asks, making Courtney extremely embarrassed.

-Well... There's always a first time for everything.- Heather jokes.- So you and Geoff? I'm not judging, just surprised.

-Nothing. I mean besides making out and cuddling.

-Maybe if you guys went to the penthouse...- Gwen jokes.

-Is the penthouse all of that?- Jo asks honestly.

Chris McLean: Hey! We spent quite a lot on that room.

-You'll probably won't pay to much attention to penthouse once you get there.- Gwen says, and the girls that went there nod.

-Am I the only one who's not interested in any of the guys?- Zoey asks.

-I'm really confused right now... So I guess not.- Dawn says.

-I'm just getting to know everyone and let things flow.-Jo says.

confessional on
Zoey: Well... I was in Jo's room last night... There's more than she's telling. But, I learned my lesson.
Jo: I'm not lying... I did slept with Brick last night. That's it! But I won't say that in front of his ex, who's clearly still into him.
Dawn: After what happened in the game last night, I decided to talk to Brick. Maybe it'll make things easier for me.
confessional off

They somehow changed the subject, and started to talk about their life outside of the villa. Questions like "what's your perfect Saturday night?" or "Would you rather a night out with your girls or 'Netflix and chill' with your bae?" even "Your to-go karaoke song?" were made. It only ended once they heard the door.
Seeing that only Alejandro was back in the villa, everyone started to worry. And speculate that something bad happened.

-Well... two of my exes came. And they are on a date with Brody and Lightning.- he said.

confessional on
Alejandro: I'm worried about what this means for me and Heather. I truly am.
Heather: Honestly I'm chilling. I knew his ex was coming, it was really obvious.
Duncan: Just when you think you understood this show, you realize you didn't.
confessional off

Chris McLean: You haven't seen anything yet... *chuckles*

-Dude... That's so bizarre.- Geoff said.

-Heather... can we talk?- Alejandro says. And they go sit on the balcony.

-So... The four deadly words, huh?- she says.

-This is serious... My exes are here.- he says.

-Okay? I also have two "exes" in here, I don't see...- she stops her sentence- I get it... Look if you still have feelings for one of them, it's fine. We can stop whatever this is.

-No! It's not what I wanted to say. Believe me, I still want this.- Alejandro says- I just wanted to make sure that we're still on the same page.

-Really? You pulled me aside for this?- Heather asks- Is there anything else I should know?

Chris McLean: Anything else?

confessional on
Alejandro: I wanna tell her, but how?
Heather: What is he hiding? Did he really pulled me aside for this?
confessional off

Before he could answer, they heard the tablet and returned to the living room.
"It's a really hot day. Gwen and Tyler, maybe you should have some ice cream."

Not long after they left, the door was open and the four people that were on the date arrived at the villa.
Introductions were going well, but they were interrupted by the sound of the tablet.
"We've collected information about all of you, from your friends/family and from the confessionals. Now let's see how well you know each other with a game of two truths and a lie."

{Note: just like in the actual reality, not all confessionals are used so some of the itens weren't brought up before}

confessional on
Alejandro: Fuck... Now I'm screwed.
Heather: Damn it. Hopefully it won't be so bad...
Geoff: Dude... That's fucked up.
Dawn: This won't end well.
confessional off

Chris McLean: Well... not for you, but for me it'll be fine.

Everyone was apprehensive, they were in the living waiting for the new message.
"About Dawn...
1- She's never been on a serious relationship.
2- She's still into her ex.
3- Her first crush in the villa was Trent.".

confessional on
Dawn: It could be worse right?
Brick: I really don't know what to say.
Trent: I'm flattered if it's true, but I never saw her in that way...
confessional off

They received plaques (from production) with the numbers: one, two and three; and they need to raise the plaque with the number of the sentence they think that contains the lie.
Most of the people raised plaque one, except Geoff and Taylor that raised plaque three.

-Wait how do we know that she won't lie?- Brody asks- Not trying to be mean, just asking.

-There's no reason why I'd lie.- Dawn says trying to defend herself. And they hear a beep.

"Good question, Brody. If only there was a way of knowing the truth... Oh, wait! There is."
Following the message there were three videos. The first it was a unused part of her audition tape, where she talks about her two year relationship. The second showed her in the confessional, talking about her possible feelings for Brick. And the third also showed her in the confessional; where she confessed that, out of everyone in the villa, she was interested in Trent.

-God, I feel so exposed right now.- Dawn says visibly embarrassed - Trent, before you ask me anything, that happened during the first day. I was asked if there was anyone who caught my eye, and I answered "you". But I don't have any feelings for you. Sorry if it made you uncomfortable.

-No, it's fine.- he said.

confessional on
Dawn: Well, I didn't know how to talk to Brick about us. Now I don't have to worry about that...
Brick: I did come thinking about the possibility of making things work between us, but something already happened between me and Jo...
Jo: I feel really bad right now.
confessional off

The atmosphere was already awkward, but that didn't stop the game.
"Alejandro, let's see.
1- He started to develop feelings for Heather, even if he says that their relationship is just casual.
2- He and his exes have plenty of unfinished business to solve.
3- His family thinks that he came here because he's ready to settle down."

confessional on
Heather: There's no way that his family thinks that. But then I'd be admitting that he has feelings for me... *giggles*
Alejandro: I'm screwed, not only she's gonna find out about my feelings for her. But also she'll find out about what happened between me and Anne Maria, before I could tell her.
confessional off

Almost immediately everyone raised plaque three. After a few seconds, the tablet received three new videos.
The first one showed Alejandro at the confessional, and after being asked about Heather he admits that he's starting to feel something for her. The second, showed the Anne Maria talking about her relationship with Alejandro at the beach. And finally, a video with two people, his mom and older brother (Carlos), they were asked if Alejandro could start something serious during the reality; Carlos just laughed and his mom said "It'll make me really happy, but I don't think that it's going to happen.".

confessional on
Heather: Wow... What he did to Anne Maria was fucked up.
Anne Maria: I honestly don't care about his new fling or whatever. He did something wrong, he must deal with the consequences.
Lightning: Heather is so sha-quiet. This is not good.
confessional off

-What do you think of your in-laws, Heather?- Duncan asked trying to break the ice.

-Duncan, I'm not in the mood.- Heather says.

-Heather, can we talk after this?- Alejandro asked, sounding really worried.

-There's nothing left to say. We agreed on having a fling. No feelings. If this is not what you want, okay we end things now.- Heather says, trying to remain calm.

-So this is it? You'll just pretend that there's not a small a part of you who's also catching feelings?- he says.

-Even if that was the case, what you did to them is awful. I dealt with fuckboys before... I'm done with them.

Chris McLean: Ouch...

No one knew what to say, they were just hoping that this game would be over. But it wasn't the case.
"Brick, it's your turn.
1- His longest relationship lasted four years, and it ended two months after he proposed.
2- He hasn't been with anyone outside of the games.
3- He still had hoped to be with Dawn before he arrived".

confessional on
Geoff: Dude was engaged... No way! Right?
Jo: He probably came here to be with her... That shouldn't hurt me, but it does.
Dawn: Maybe there's still hope for us, right?
Brick: I feel really bad.
confessional off

No one knew what was the lie, everyone ended up choosing a random plaque. Many plaques with the number one were being hold, but some people held the other options. Once again, it was time to see the truth.
The first video, it was a "deleted" scene from his audition tape where he talks about his worst break up, when he found out that his fiancé was cheating on him. The second showed he and Jo making out in one of the bedrooms, then cuts to show some movement underneath the duvet. And finally, another unseen moment from his audition tape, where he suggested that something could happen between him and Dawn.

confessional on
Dawn: That was awkward. I'm not sure if this changes things for me or not...
Brick: I feel like I'm such a player, but it wasn't my intention.
Jo: I just got the confirmation, and it sucks.
Brody: At least, it can't get any worse than this.
confessional off

Chris McLean: Are you sure, Brody?

The silence was so uncomfortable, but no one had the energy to speak. But the tablet knows the best moment to make an appearance.
"Last but certainly not least, Duncan.
1- Courtney wasn't the first girl from the villa who called his attention.
2- He died his mohawk pink.
3- He's never been cheated on.".

confessional on
Heather: Fuck! I could pretend I don't know the answer, and say it's the first one. But he'll find out anyway.
Lightning: This won't end sha-well.
Courtney: This is a little surprising since I was the first girl that he made a move. But I also was attracted to other guys when we came.
confessional off

Duncan seemed pretty confused, but didn't say a word. Almost everyone raised plaque number two, but Heather and Lightning raised plaque number three making Duncan even more surprised, but he kept quiet and waited for the videos.
The first video showed a confessional from the first day, when the contestants were arriving, and Duncan said something could happen between him and Zoey. The second, showed one of his friends from home, Cody, and he told that Duncan's most embarrassing moment was when he had to die his hair pink after loosing a bet to Heather. And finally, the last video showed Heather in the confessional talking about finding her ex boyfriend with Gwen while she was with Duncan.

confessional on
Heather: I'm done with this.
Duncan: What the fuck? I can't believe she knew that and never told me.
confessional off

Immediately after the end of the video, Heather left the living room followed by Duncan (who was visibly pissed) and some other people.

-Heather, what the fuck?- Duncan screamed.

-Duncan, breathe!- Courtney said in a failed attempt of calming him down.

-No. I need to know why my best friend lied to me.

-Duncan, it's better if you talk later.- Lightning said.

-Shut the fuck up. Wait a minute... You knew?- Duncan said remembering that he raised the right plaque- You told him and never told me? Say something for fuck's sake.

-I was drunk as hell and ended up telling him. But do you honestly think I wanted to tell anyone that my boyfriend cheated on me with someone I knew?- Heather answered one a loud tone- You know better than anyone how much I gave to that relationship, you know how it affected me.

-I had the right to know.

-Yes, you did. But I was seventeen, heartbroken and mad about the fact that you put me aside.- Heather said with a few tears falling out of her eyes - Sorry I was immature, but I needed you. And if I told you the truth, you wouldn't handle it.

-Why am I surprised? It's always about you. You didn't told me because you wanted the attention.- Duncan said- You need to get your shit together.

-Duncan! You're going too far.- Courtney said visibly disappointed.

-Heather, breathe!- Lightning and Alejandro said at the same time.

-That's rich coming from you. You were the one who showed up in my apartment, in New York, after not talking to me for months because of your breakup.- she said- You know what? I'm done. You can fuck yourself.

She said and left the room, and the boys followed her. Duncan's breathing was still irregular and he scream a cuss word.

-She made a mistake, she shouldn't be crucified for that. - Courtney said- I gotta go, she needs me!

Chris McLean: That was brutal.

When Gwen and Tyler arrived from their date the villa looked like a funeral. Those who weren't so affected by the game were feeling down, but we're trying to distract themselves. But those who were affected were feeling horrible.
The hours passed really slowly, between small talks and a few snacks some of contestants were trying to move on.

confessional on
Taylor: So much for "getting drunk and working on my tan".
Anne Maria: I knew this was going to be crazy, but this is a whole new level.
Tyler: This so awkward.
Gwen: Bridgette told me what happened, at least, no one's judging me.
confessional off

Many hours passed, and it was night already but for once they weren't ready for a big party. But the tablet had its own plans.
"Maybe all you guys need in order to get better is a good old karaoke night. Anne Maria, Taylor, Geoff, Brody, Brick, Bridgette, Alejandro, Courtney, Heather and Trent; hope you're ready to sing."

confessional on
Courtney: I just hope that this goes well.
Heather: Maybe this is what I needed, a karaoke night.
Bridgette: I love karaoke! This'll be awesome..
confessional off

[Karaoke]

They went to a private area that was super dark, only illuminated by colored lights. The room had, obviously, a very modern karaoke machine, a huge dance floor and a bar. The music was really loud, and some of the girls started to dance.

-Guys, let's toast!- Geoff screamed- To a good time! And getting wasted!

Everyone raised their glasses and started looking for songs to sing.

{note: the songs I chose are kinda/really old, but I chose them 'cause they are my (or my friend's) favorite songs for karaoke}

-Just to set tonight's tone.- Geoff said before the intro of "Give me everything" started.

Since it's literally impossible to not dance to Pitbull, everyone started jumping and singing with him. Definitely the bad vibe was gone.
Let's say that Geoff wasn't the best rapper, but that's what makes everything better.

-Come on, let's sing a duet.- Courtney said as soon as Geoff ended his song.

-As long it's not a love song, sure.-Heather said. Then the brunette took her to the machine, where she typed "Toxic" by Britney Spears.

confessional on
Courtney: Well, I payed attention to our conversation earlier today. It might not be my favorite, but I wanted to do something for her.
Heather: She's the best. That was really nice!
confessional off

The girls were really excited when they heard the song and surprisingly the boys were having a nice time either, probably because they were getting drunk and wanted to enjoy the party (or maybe because the two were doing quite a show).
As soon as they walked out, Taylor stepped in and sang "Just dance" by Lady Gaga, followed by Brody that sang "Moves like Jagger".
They were really enjoying, but since the girls were dancing too much they decided to take their heels off. Once they sat down, Alejandro stepped in and sang "Wonderwall". Immediately everyone started to make joke about him and Heather.

confessional on
Heather: Yes, it was cute. Yes, I absolutely love that song. Does that mean I want to change my mind? No... even if I still wanna kiss him.
Alejandro: That won't get her to forgive me, but I wanted to do something nice for her.
confessional off

-Wait... Trent hasn't sung yet.- Bridgette pointed out.

-Come on, dude. You need to sing something.- Geoff said.

-Fine, I'll sing something.-Trent said. Since last song wasn't a upbeat one, he decided to sang "I'm yours".

He was a very good singer, even if he was pretty drunk. But at the moment they weren't interested in high notes or good singing. When he finished everyone was clapping.

-Girls, why don't we all sing together?- Anne Maria suggested, and everyone nodded.

-Come on, I have the perfect song.-Taylor said as they walked towards the machine. She typed "Run the world (girls)".

The girls were feeling themselves. Nothing like a Beyoncé song to bring people closer.
Many songs later, they decided that the best way to end their night was choosing one song that everyone wanted to sing, and they chose "I gotta a feeling" by Black Eyed Peas.
They had so much fun that they didn't want to go back to the villa, but all good things must come to an end.
Just before they left, the tablet started beeping.
"Bridgette, a little bird told me that tomorrow it's your birthday. So why not start your celebrations with a night at the penthouse with a guest?"

One look at Geoff was enough for him to understand what she wanted, and he kissed her as a confirmation of what he wanted.

[penthouse]

As soon as they arrived at the penthouse, they lied on the bed. There was a mixture of tenderness and shyness in looks that they were exchanging.

-You know, I never thought I'd be this interested in someone when I first thought of the show.- Geoff confesses.

-When I first came here, I thought it was stupid to hope for romance... -she says- But I'm really happy that I met you!

He kissed her. It was a sweet kiss, and when it stopped the most genuine smile was on their faces. They didn't want their moment to end, but even if none of them said anything it was clear that they were falling for each other.
They were really tired (and really intoxicated) so they just made small talk and kissed a few times; and were still in each other's embrace when fell asleep.

[villa-morning]

When Geoff and Bridgette joined everyone for breakfast they were surprised, everyone was in the kitchen and sang happy birthday to Bridgette. Each one of the contestants congratulate her with a hug and a few kind words, and Geoff gave her a kiss.

confessional on
Bridgette: That's a nice way to celebrate my birthday. Besides the hungover, everything is great.
confessional off

Everyone was trying to get along, even if that meant "stay quiet and fake your smile".

confessional on
Geoff: It's obvious that everyone was pretending to get along, but at least Bridge is happy. Hopefully they can keep up with the act 'til the end of the day.
confessional off

Chris McLean: I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Hours passed and it was almost noon, everything was calm (mostly because practically no one was speaking to each other).
But for Heather something didn't feel good, so she decided to be alone for a moment and think about what she might be feeling. She was so quiet that didn't notice when Dawn approached her.

-A penny for your thoughts?- Dawn asked.

-Just thinking about... things- she chuckled a little.

-Your aura seems a little bit troubled, wanna talk about it?- Dawn asks- Is it because of Duncan? Or maybe something with Alejandro?

-Yes, but there's more. I feel like something bad is gonna happen.- Heather says.

-Worst than yesterday?- she asks and Heather nods.

Their conversation was interrupted by the loud sound of the tablet.
"A new person is joining you today. Heather, Jo and Gwen; head to the beach to seem them."

confessional on
Heather: Last time I had this feeling, Gwen arrived. Now, I don't even need to see him to know that our ex is coming.
Gwen: Now that everyone knows that me and Heather share an ex, things might be awkward if he arrives.
Jo: I'm confident that it won't be mine. They share an ex for crying out loud.
confessional off

[beach]

Gwen was by far the most nervous of them three, since she kept playing with her black chocker. Heather and Jo were quiet, obviously for different reasons. One of them was sure that she was fine and the other didn't want to worry about something so evident.
After a few moments they saw a male silhouette. His tall and tanned body immediately made Heather cuss, but when he was close it was possible to see his blue eyes.

-We're so screwed, Heather.- Gwen said.

-What a shocker!- she said ironically- Justin's here.

Chris McLean: Is Heather right, and something bad is about to happen? Will Justin's arrival cause drama in the villa? All those questions any I still wonder whose ex is next?
