✱Elsea's p.o.v✱
                          
Dad has been pissed all weekend. Not at me, at Justin. When I came home from Ethan's place last Saturday I told mom and dad about what had happened, and dad wasn't really surprised. He said that he got "bad vibes" from Justin, and it's not impossible that he's right. Maybe I was just too blind to see it.
                          
Anyway, I'm on my way to school right now. I'm driving today since I don't really have the energy to deal with people today. Last Friday really tore on me mentally, and I've been thinking much since.

As soon as I walk through the doors I meet up with my girl gang as I usually do. And of course we meet Justin and Amanda together, I love my life.
                          
"Justin, Amanda" I nod towards them and Justin smirks. "Hope your tongue had fun down her throat last Friday. I sure had fun"
                          
"So you did find out" Justin mumbles and fiddles with his fingers. 
                          
"Oh I didn't found out, I saw it with my own eyes. It was super fun, I loved it" I sass and Amanda chuckles so I turn to her.
                          
"Please, did you really thought he liked you?" She laughs and I give her a glare.
                          
"You know, I though we were friends Amanda. It hurts that you went behind my back like that" 
                          
"Oh darling, do you really think people like you for you? Please, those girls only stand behind you right now because of your fame. Come on, like you don't know already, am I right girls?" Amanda turns to the girls behind me and I look at them. They all look down at the floor, pretending not to hear or something which makes the message clear.
                          
"You know what? Screw you, I don't need any of you" I storm off towards my class, leaving everyone behind. Wow, that was completely unexpected. But still not, I'm aware people use me but I didn't thought my closest friends was like that. Guess I was wrong.
                          
"Hey Elsea! Wait" Olivia screams behind me and I slowly turn around. "You know I'm not like the other girls, right?"
                          
"I don't know what I know anymore, my whole world has been shaken up these past days" I sigh and drag my hands through my hair.
                          
"I've been with you through thick and thin, haven't I? Forget those backstabbing girls, you'll always have me" 
                          
Instead of answering, I throw myself on her in a hug. Those few words just meant the world to me right now, it seems like I have no one left. But I choose to see it this way, a bunch of bad people just left my life and that's honestly a blessing.
                          
Lets face it, my friends in school isn't my only friends. My job allows me to meet new people with the same interests as me. Also my parents friends has children my age, so I'll be fine. I don't know, maybe I'm one of those persons who shouldn't have regular friends. Maybe I should stick to the persons that's more like me. And by that, I mean people that knows how it's like to be in the public eye. I should just stop trying so hard and surround myself with true friends, like Olivia.

I open our front door and I see mom sitting on the couch which is very unusual since it's 3 pm, she usually works at least a few hours longer.
                          
"You're home early" I say to her and sit down beside her "is dad home yet?" 
                          
"I know, I had to pick up Esther from preschool. She has fever" she sighs and I tilt my head "and yes, I think he's in his office" 
                          
"Poor little girl" I say and mom giggles.
                          
"Are you talking about me?" Dad suddenly comes out from his office and he almost scares me.
                          
"Not really, but we could be" mom says and dad comes over to her and kiss her quick. I love how in love they still are, even though it's been 14 years since they got married, and even more since they met.
                          
"How was school today Els?" He asks as he sits down opposite us.
                          
"Beside that I lost all of my friends, it was as usual" 
                          
"What do you mean?" Mom says and tilts her head, looking at me.
                          
"I found out that people only likes me because of my, I guess you can call it, fame. Olivia is the only one left" I explain it shortly since I don't want to think about it too much.
                          
"What the heck?" Dad says, but more like a question than a statement.
                          
"Yeah, they were all lying whores. Too afraid to speak up" I grunt and look down at the floor, thinking about it all again.
                          
"Elsea! Language" mom warns while dad laughs hysterically.
                          
"That's my daughter" he says while mom gives him a glare, but soon turns to me again.
                          
"But on a serious note, I'm so sorry honey. They don't deserve you" mom squeeze my thigh lightly, just to show that she's there for me. Before I got the chance to answer, Wayde enters the room.
                          
"Mom I'm bored" he whines and I walk up to him.
                          
"Wanna go to the park?" I ask him while looking at dad who shoots me a thankful look. Wayde nods with loads of excitement and I take his hand. "I'll talk to you later mom and dad, see you"
