Harry's and Matt's phones went crazy with messages and phone calls. But they only answered Shelby's, Esther's, and some family and friends. The girls were hurt, but they loved Harry and Matt. They all decided they needed to meet up somewhere for the weekend and talk. Harry and Matt had meetings all week about how they would take care of this picture in the media. Matt and Harry decide they shouldn't go to the same hotel when they meet the girls. So they set up rooms at two hotels and met the girls at the airport. Both girls walked up to their guys instead of hugging and kissing them. They both slapped them in their faces. Both stood their ground. Harry and Matt look at each other, then back to their girl.

*M&E*

"I deserve that. I'm sorry, Es."

"You hurt me, Matty. You lied to me."

"I know, and I'm very sorry. Please let me take you to the hotel so you can rest. Then we can talk some more, okay?"

Esther looked at Matt with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, but I need my own room."

"Okay, I'll get you your own room."

Esther nodded. Matt looked at Harry, but he was talking to Shelby and trying to stop her from crying, so Matt and Esther left the airport for their hotel.

*H&S*

"Shelby."

"I asked you before I left. You lied, Harry. I'm so mad at you right now, Harry."

The whole time, Shelby was yelling; she was crying.

"Shelby, babe, please let's go to the hotel. You can rest, and then we can talk tonight."

"I want my own room. I won't stay with you."

"Okay."

Harry and Shelby left for their hotel. Harry looked around for Matt, but he didn't see him anywhere on their way out.

*M&E*

"Es, text me when you're ready to talk, and I will return."

Esther nodded, and when Matt left, she sent a message to Shelby.

{We need to talk.}

*H&S*

Harry got Shelby her own room.

"I'll text you later. Maybe we can have dinner and talk."

Shelby nodded.

*S&E*

Harry left, and Shelby looked at her phone. She had a message from Esther.

[We need to talk.]

{Yes, we do.}

{Where?}

[There is a little cafe between our hotel, so let's meet there. Say about 30 / 40 minutes.]

{Meet you there.}

Esther and Shelby both cleaned up and left their rooms to meet up.

*H&M*

Harry started texting Matt the minute he left Shelby's room.

[Hey, how is Esther? Is she furious at me? Please text me back.]

Harry went to his room to get a drink. He needed one. He opened the door, and Matt was already making them a drink.

"Oh yes, I need that so much right now."

"And to answer your message, Harry. I don't know. We have not talked yet. I do know. She is very hurt by me."

Matt took a big drink of the drink he just made.

"The same with Shelby. We are going to dinner tonight and talk."

"That's good. Esther and I might stay in and talk. I'm not sure I want everyone to know about my mess."

Harry looked at Matt.

"So, I'm your mess up?"

"No, no. Harry, I didn't mean it like that. Harry, please, look at me."

Harry walked over to the sofa and sat down. Matt walked over to Harry. He moved in between his legs.

"Harry, you are not a mess up. I was talking about how all this went down. I'm sorry. Can I make it up to you?"

Harry looked at Matt. Matt pushed Harry back to the sofa. Then he...
