Shreyas' POV.

"I miss you so much.", Jess tells me with a small sad smile.

"I miss you too.", I sigh as I lie back on my bed and clutch my laptop tightly as I place it on my lap so that it doesn't fall.

It had been almost half a month since we left for this tour and we still had a few weeks left for this to get over.

We were on tour until two weeks before Shubman and Smriti's wedding and as soon that got we had to leave.

Tired was an understatement. I just wanted to go home and cuddle with Jess with an entire week.

"How was practice today?", she asks me as she pulls her hair away from her face and tucks it behind her ear.

"Everybody's doing good, the team's in good spirit, except the fact that Ishan is quite silent nowadays.", I tell her worriedly.

"That's unusual.", she frowns, "everything okay with him?".

"We have no clue.", I shrug, "whenever we ask him, he tells he's fine but obviously he's not...".

"He's probably confused with everything that has happened since he took it too fast. He'll be okay in a while, don't worry.", she assures me.

"Yeah you're right.", I sigh and then look down at my phone placed on the bed as I hear the notification of a message.

I take it up to see that I recieved a message from Ishan saying-

From: Ishan
Could you come to my room rn? Need help with something urgent.

To Ishan:
Sure man, I'll be there in five minutes.

"Talk about the devil.", I tell Jess,"Ishan needs some help with something urgent apparently, gotta go."

"Make sure he's okay and take care of yourself too okay? I love you.", she tells me with a tired smile.

"You too, I love you so much.", I tell her as I blow her a flying kiss virtually.

Cheesy, I know but I miss her so much.

I enter Ishan's room to see Abhay and Shubman also in the there, sitting on his bed.

"What happened to Ishan?", I ask them.

"No idea, he just texted us to come here.", Abhay tells with a frown.

"I hope he's okay, he even told Smri and Anu that he wanted to talk to her after some time.", Shubman continues.

"What about Kash?", I frown worriedly. To say the situation between them now was a mess was an understatement. They barely even spoke nowadays. Jess, Smri and Anu told me during our previous group call that Kash barely spoke and just worked all the time and Ishan here wasn't talking much either and just playing.

"I think it might be something to do regarding the situation with her.", Abhay wonders, "He probably needs our help for that."

"I hope so.", Shubman sighs, "I don't want him screwing things up even more."

"Haan, Kash has been working a lot, bohut zyaada stress ho jayega uske liye.", I tell them.

Ishan's POV

"Guys... hey.", I tell them awkwardly as I come into the bedroom.

"Oh my god, you can actually speak!", Shreyas exclaims in mock surprise.

"Stop it.", I whine.

"Bhai hum gabra gaye the.", Abhay tells me with a concerned look.

"Aur itne dher restroom mei kar kya tha?", Shubman frowns at me.

"One thing at a time please.", I groan as I join them on my bed.

"Yeah okay, chill.", Shreyas tells as he pats my back, "what happened though?".

"ithinkiminlovewithkash.", I ramble out nervously.

Too fast, dammit.

"Kya?", Shubman asks me with a confused look.

"Uh, I think I'm in love with Kash.", I confess after taking in a deep breath.

"Happy realisation day!", Abhay mocks me.

"Yaar mazaak udana bandh karo tum log.", I whine as I throw a pillow on Abhay, "I'm in a crisis, madad karo yaar."

"Chalo then tell us, what do you want help with?", Shubman tries to calm me down.

"So, the first thing is, I don't know how to breakup with Aahana.", I rub my forehead with my index and middle finger, "I got confused about my emotions and dragged her into this mess."

"Look I know this is hard, but be honest with her. Of course, she'll end up getting hurt but you can't avoid this. She'll probably end up yelling at you, but this is kind of the consequences of your actions.", Shreyas explains.

I hate that what he said he isn't wrong.

"You're right.", I sigh, "I'll do it."

This was gonna go bad but well, it's not like I have any other option.

Jessica's POV

"So how did it go?", I ask Ishan as all of us look at him curiously.

So Abhay ended up calling Anu, Smri and me on a group video call saying that we needed to help Ishan and filled us with whatever was going on.

Well, this was gonna be hard to solve but we've still gotta help him.

"Uh, she obviously got very sad about it.", Ishan says.

"Is she angry with you?", Anushka asks worriedly.

"Not really, she was quite understanding about it and I feel even more horrible now.", he tells gloomily.

"She'll be fine soon, hopefully. Don't worry okay? It'll take some time but she'll be fine.", Smriti comforts her.

"How's Kash by the way?", Ishan asks us.

"I just have two words to describe it: a mess.", Anushka tells him.

"I'm pretty sure it'll be hard to talk to her, she probably hates me now.", he groans.

"She doesn't Ishan, don't worry. She's just hurt but that doesn't mean she doesn't love you. She's always loved you.", I tell him.

"How do I tell her about my feelings though?", he looks at us confusedly.

"That might be hard, but we'll help you with it.", Smriti assures him and he gives us a grateful smile.

Things were finally going to get better.
