REAL LIFE (JULY 17),

Baylen and Ella have been in Boston for a whole two weeks. Some days consisted of Baylen hanging out with the triplets while Ella went off with Tucker. There were also some days that it would just be Ella and Baylen hanging out, or Baylen, Ella, and Chris, or Baylen, Ella, and Nick. Or maybe it was just Ella and Chris or just Ella and Nick. Either way, Ella hasn't talked to Matt in 8 days.

Whenever the girl had gone over to the triplets' house to hang out with Nick and Chris, she would rarely see Matt. Occasionally, she'd see him come out of his room for water or something, not even looking up at the girl.

She knew that he was purposely ignoring her because there were times when she had come over with Baylen and Matt would say hi to Baylen and not her. She found little offense to the boy's actions, but then remembered that Matt was just being a petty prune.

But that didn't stop Ella from being with her friends. In fact, she was almost always in Chris's room with Nick and/or Baylen.

"Truth or dare Chris," Ella asks.

She, Nick, Baylen, Chris, Tucker, Matt, and River were all sitting at the beach on a big blanket as the sun began to set.

"Dare." he answers, "Let me write something on your forehead." Ella replies, "Ok... but we don't have a sharpie." Chris reasons, "Yes we do." Ella smirked, showing him her sharpie.

"How did you get that?" Chris asks, "Don't worry about it." Ella smiles, standing up and walking over to Chris to write on his forehead.

She sat in front of him and leaned close to him to write on his forehead.

In a matter of seconds, 'I WATCH PORN' was written on Chris's forehead.

"Are we about to kiss?" Chris jokes at how close their faces were, "Shut the fuck up." Ella replies with a giggle before going back to her seat.

"What did you write?" Chris asks sternly after everyone laughed at what Ella wrote. "That's for us to know and you to find out." Ella winks at him to which he rolls his eyes.

"Fine whatever. Ok... River. Truth or Dare." He says, "Um after that truth." she answers.

Baylen and Ella shout "PUSSY." with laughs.

"Dammit, ok. Who's the most attractive triplet to you?" Chris asks with a smirk. "Ummm to be honest, Matt," she admits.

"Woah ohhh." Everyone oohs and ahhs causing River to blush.

"ok ok. Ella truth or dare." River switches the topic, "Dare." she answers. "I dare you to text your ex crush. NOT celebrity crush- Matt-." She coughs to cover up when she said, Matt. "Your actual ex crush." she continues.

hey, ik you blocked me which is good on my behalf but I did

like you and I can't deny it anymore, I really liked you, more

than a celebrity crush

In a matter of seconds after Ella put her phone down saying she sent it, Matt's phone notification goes off. He reads it and then looks up at Ella who had her eyes widened at the boy. He smirks then looks back down at his phone.

I knew you did

"Ok... uh. Um, Tucker, truth or dare." Ella smiles at her boyfriend, getting her mind off of Matt.

"Truth," he replies, confused at the interaction between Matt and Ella.

"Ok, so a little birdy told me that you've been doing something that I don't know about. This was about a week ago when we first started dating, so what have you been doing?" Ella asks. Tucker tenses up, not noticing the smirk on Matt's face.

"Um, can I tell you in private?" he requests, "Sure," she whispers and the two walk away so nobody can hear them.

"Um Ella, I don't know who told you I've been doing something and I don't even know how they would know but uh, I've been... taking uh dance classes. Yeah." Tucker lies. "Oh, okay um let's get back to the group then," Ella replies, knowing something's off.

He nods his head and they go back to the group of friends. Tucker's face is blank while Ella's mind is running a mile a minute trying to figure out what Matt said about Tucker and what Tucker said. She knew he was lying, he had to be. Or was Matt lying?

"Ok, Matt. Truth or dare." Tucker starts, smirking already knowing what he was going to tell Matt.

"Um, dare," he replies, glancing back in forth between Tucker and Ella.

"I dare you to show us all who texted you a few seconds ago." he challenges, smirking harder than ever.

Matt slowly brings out his phone and goes to messages, before hesitantly showing everyone Ella and his messages.

"WAIT YOU ACTUALLY LIKED MATT?!" River exclaims, "Yeah no shit Riv." Nick comments to which she flips him off in reply.

"You told me you didn't like him." Tucker says to Ella, "I uh... I- I don't, I j-" Ella begins to stutter. "Ella can I talk to you in private." he interrupts, "Fine." she sighs, so they go off again.

"Ella, come on, I can't date you if you still have feelings for him." Tucker says to her, "I don't like him. I don't have any feelings for him. I like you Tuck, not him." Ella assures him, holding his hands in hers. He pulls them away gently.

"Look Ella, I really like you. But I'm not gonna be with someone who likes someone else." He speaks softly, "Are you...?" she asks.

"I'm so sorry El," he whispers, putting his forehead on hers.

"What did I even do wrong?" she questions. "I may be the guy you want, but Matt's the guy you need. He's your soulmate El, not me. We aren't meant to be." Tucker explains, "Tuck, we are. We're meant to be, I promise." she argues, tears almost spilling from her eyes.

"No, we're not Ella. It's always gonna be you and Matt. It's Mella, not Tella." he whispers, leaning back from the girl.

"Come on Tuck," she pleads, "Ella no," he replies.

"Tucker. Come on." she says in a hopeful voice, "No Ella. It's over. I'm sorry." he says.

They're both quiet, so Ella just walks back to the group.

"Um, I'm not feeling that well. I'm gonna head home." Ella tells the group as she collects her phone and the rental car keys, wiping a tear that quickly fell from her face and onto the blanket.

"Ella, are you crying?" River questions, "Uh Nah it's just my allergies." she lies before walking away. She gets to the rental car, digging through the backseat looking for her phone charger since her phone was about to die.

"Ella. Ella." she hears someone shout from behind her. She turns and it's Matt.

"Look, Matt, I can't do anything right now, I can't handle anything. I'm not in the mood for you to rub into my face that things with Tucker weren't going to work and how right you were, so, please. Save it till the morning." Ella says.

Instead of speaking back, Matt just hugged the girl immediately.
