i was sat on the couch just watching the boys do their thing. i fiddled with the sleeves of my cardigan.
the boys were goofing around, laughing at each other and tweaking little things in their music. i would catch sammys eyes on me every once in a while.
after they finished up they asked me if i wanted to go eat with them. "you are the expert of this area, you know." jake said with his hands on his hips. "we dont know whats good around here."
i nodded. "sure. theres a bar about 3 blocks from here. they have great food." i said standing up. "sounds great." josh nodded.
after they finished packing everything up we made our way down the stairs and out the door.
i lead them down the street. "so whats your story, jackie?" jake asked nudging past josh so he could stand beside me while we walked.
oh lord, here we go.
i sighed. "oh its small talk time?" i joked. "no, im just curious." jake shrugged. i laughed.
"so i was born here, raised by my dad in a tiny apartment. my dad got lucky and a friend of his gave him the studio." i started to explain.
the boys listened to me eagerly as we walked.
"it was always just me and my dad. then me and awsten met. awsten is my best friend and has been since i can remember. its always kind of been the three of us." i shrugged. "not much to tell, im boring."
josh shook his head. "i dont believe that. what are your interests? hobbies?" he asked
"uh.." i shrugged. "photography, music, specifically vinyl.." i said while looking at the ground.
"thats awesome!" josh said enthusiastically. "no wonder you and sammy gravitate and flow."
"shut up josh." sam said from behind me. was he embarrassed? why didnt he like his brothers talking to me?
i just laughed it off.
we got to the bar and made our way inside. the waitress greeted us all. "hey jacks! whats up?" said the short red head waitress.
i smiled. "hey may!" i said giving her a hug. "who are these cuties?" she said while we hugged. i laughed at her.
may was a regular at the record store. she always chatted with me while she shopped. we got to know each other well.
"this is sam, jake, josh, and danny." i said pointing to each person. josh waved and sam gave her a small smile.
"lovely to meet you." jake said from behind sam.
may took our orders and we all made small talk for a while. once she brought out our food we all fell silent. all but josh.
josh was telling stories as loud as possible. slamming his fists on the table and talking in such a loud, theatrical voice.
we all listened and laughed along with him as he told a story about a fisherman and his many wives, or something like that.
may came back and chimed in. "you have to be the loudest but funniest creature ive come across in this bar." she said with her hands on her hips.
josh blushed and we all laughed. "oh come on joshua dont get shy now!" his twin said pushing his shoulder.
may laughed and slipped a piece of paper into josh's hand and walked away. jakes jaw dropped.
"no way!" i laughed with my hand over my mouth. we all started dying as josh sat there, in shock.

we started leaving the restaurant and jackie walked right by my side down the sidewalk. "you guys are so fun. i never seem to have fun anymore." she said looking up at me.
i was walking her home at this point as the other guys went down a different block towards the apartment.
"you're welcome with us any time." i said taking her hand.
she smiled and squeezed my hand. her phone started ringing. it was awsten.
she answered.
"what? oh my god.. slow down.. what?!?" she dropped my hand and stopped walking.
