Once I get out of the car I run into the house.

I open the door and see Michael, Sierra, and Ashton sitting on the couch watching TV. Luke and Calum are sitting on the floor.

"Uh hey guys" I say with a little shortness of breath 'cause I just ran inside.

"Sup" is all Ashton says.

"Why you out of breath" asked Michael.
He must have seen my slightly heavy breathing.
I'm surprised he noticed.

"Um I.. thought it would be a good idea to run from the car to the door. Exercise"
I thought off the top of my head.

Wow I'm dumb.

"It's not that far away maybe like a few feet or so" Luke comments.

"Ya I don't know why..."

Tori walks in and saves me from making up another excuse.
"Ok guys guess who we saw"
No no no
She not going to say it.
"Mia's crazy ex boyfriend"

"Tori can I talk to you a second" dragging her into the kitchen before she can answer.

"What the hell" I throw my hands in the air "they don't know about what happened"

She stays quiet for a second or two. "Maybe you should tell them. I mean you'll be living here for a while"

"I don't know if I want to do that. I mean they might not like me. Kid at 16 crazy ex chasing me"
I start pacing around the kitchen with my hands in my pockets.

"Mia your over exaggerating. The boys will understand trust me" she comes over and puts a hand on my shoulder.

I don't think I want to tell them all about my life yet.

"No. At least not yet. Until I get to know them better I'm not telling them about what happened"

"Mia. But what if there's something wrong. If I'm not around there not going to know what to do"

"First I really hope nothing happens. But if something does then I'll find my way out of it"

Luke pops in the frame of the door
"You guys coming to watch the movie? It's Monsters Inc."

"Ya" I tell him "be right in"

I look at Tori "I'm not telling them yet and I don't want you too. K?"

She throws her hands up in defeat "fine. What ever you want princess Mia"

"Please don't ever call me princess again. Thanks"
I smile and walk out of the room.

I go into the living room and plop down on the couch next to Michael.

He turns his head over to me "so I heard you bought hair dye today"

"Yep" popping the 'p'. "It's a light purple"

"I can help you dye it tomorrow if you want. You could call me experienced" he points at his head.

"Ya that would be great. Thanks" I give him a smile and turn my attention back to the TV.

I could see Luke look at the TV too I think he was looking at me.

I must have fallen asleep on the couch cause I could feel someone shaking my shoulder.
"Mia the movies over"

I open my eyes and realize I'm leaning on Michael.

"Sorry Michael I didn't know I fell asleep on you" I lean forward and get off the couch.

"It's cool. Your cute when your asleep"

I could feel myself blush.
I turn around and grab Sierra who fell asleep next to Calum.
"Mia it's fine I'll take her upstairs"

"Are you sure?" I ask him

"Ya it's all good. I might even sleep on the couch 'cause I don't feel like going upstairs. Is it ok if shes with me"

"Uh ya I guess that's fine"

"I'm just afraid I'll wake her if I carry her upstairs"

"Ya she's a light sleeper so that's fine. Good night Calum"

"Night Mia"

I walk over to Michael.
He looks at me "hey I'm going to bed I'm tired night" he kisses my head before he goes upstairs.

Luke walks over to me "hey"

"Hi" I say awkwardly.

"In the morning I usually grab coffee for everyone. You wanna come with me" he just looks at the ground with his hands in his pockets and plays with his lip ring.

"Sure" I answer and he looks up.

"Ok. I'm going to bed now goodnight"

"Good night Luke"

He walks up the stairs.
I was about to but forgot my phone in the kitchen.

I go I and grab my phone off the counter.
I turn around and look out the window.
Something moves past. I big black shadow.
It stops I front of the window and looks at me.
I can't see who it is because it's to dark.

I run into the living room.
"Calum"
I yell in a whisper loud enough for him to hear but not to wake up Sierra.
I shake his shoulder so he gets up.
"What" he mumbles

"There's something outside the kitchen window"

"Uh" he sets Sierra on the couch and walks to the kitchen.
He goes over to the window and looks out of it.
"Mia there's nothing there it's late at night no one would be up"

"But" I stop talking cause I don't know what to say.

"Exactly. Your just tired. Go get some sleep" he walks back to the couch.

"Good night Calum"
