Chapter Six

Damien

Damien: If you want me to stop messaging you just tell me

Damien: Dont just ignore me

◆◆◆

Damien laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He knew he was going home today and he was so embarrassed. He couldn’t stand going back out into the living room, let alone back home. He talked a big game before he left and told everyone he knew he was going to get married on TV. Leaving now meant he’d have to face everyone. Everyone would know he failed.

He was trying to be tough the day before when he got into a fight with Jason. He thought Brielle would like a tough guy. Girls who look like that always want tough guys. He knew that if they met outside of the show, she would have fallen for him in a second. She was probably just putting on an act so people thought she was more sophisticated than she really was. Everyone acts for the cameras, right?

Brielle hadn’t messaged him in over 24 hours. Damien told the other guys in the apartment they’d been messaging all day to save face. He knew Carl could see right through him and Asher knew he was struggling but no one else seemed to question him when he said he’d been talking to her all day. It wasn’t exactly a lie, he had been messaging her all day. But she didn’t respond. Not once.

He didn’t want to pack his bags yet, he thought Asher was cool but didn’t want word to get out that he thought he was out before it was confirmed. He hadn’t unpacked much anyways. Packing would be the final nail in the coffin.

Instead, Damien sat on his bed, slumped against the wall, and waited to be called to the living room for the elimination. The minutes passed by slowly. He could hear Brandon and Peter joking as they walked down the hall and wondered why they even bothered being nice to each other. This was a competition. You can’t compete with friends, especially not for a girl.

“Can everyone come to the living room please?”

Mark’s voice filled the bedroom and Damien groaned. He wasn’t upset he was missing out on marriage, he was upset Brielle would embarrass him like this on national television. Weddings were overrated anyway.

The other guys were all in the living room by the time Damien made his way down the hall. He stood in the back as far away from everyone else as possible.

“How’s everyone feeling today?” There was an affirmative murmur from the group but no one spoke up to share more.

“Uh...Peter? How are you doing?”

Peter looked down at his knees. “I guess fine. We’ve been talking but I don’t really think we’ve made a very strong connection. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m sent home today, to be honest.”

Damien’s ears perked up and he quickly blurted, “We’ve been talking a bunch. All day.” He saw Carl roll his eyes but didn’t address it. He didn’t want to be challenged in front of the rest of the group.
