You: I..still love him..all these memories coming back to me was like..how it use to be

Zach: Why don't you tell him that?

You: He's with Lera isn't he?

Zach: No. Y/n he broke up with you before that whole thing happened yesterday

You: He did?

Zach: Yea he confessed his love for you. He still loves you. He never stopped loving you.

I stared at the floor in shock. I didn't know how to react.

Zach: You should talk to him

You: You think so?

Zach: Yea

I got up confidently and turned to the kitchen.

You: Well here goes nothing

Zach: You got this girl

I took a deep breath and went to the kitchen where Corbyn, Daniel, Jonah, and Jack were talking. I look at Corbyn and his head turned to me and he made eye contact with me. I immediately got nervous.

You: Hi

Corbyn: Hey what's up?

You: Uhm..I...uh

I felt the other boys' eyes on me as the palm of my hands started to sweat. Quick think! Don't just stand there like an idiot!

You: Your hoodie. I..I wanted to return it.

Corbyn: Just leave it on my bed in my room. I'll put it away later.

You: Ok..

I walked away and went back to Zach. He looked at me and bursted out laughing. I quickly covered his mouth with my hand. The boys heard the commotion and looked over at us.

Jonah: You guys ok?

You: Yup just dandy

Zach: She said your ho-

You: Ahhhh! Ahaha! Zach always cracking jokes you know!

Zach: No she was gonna..

He couldn't finish his sentence due to his laughter.

Jack: What were you gonna do y/n?

You: Nothing

Corbyn: Sure?

You: Uh..I..uhm..

Zach: She was gonna ask-

You: Blah! Nothing!

I ran to my room and shut the door. I laid in bed and hid under my covers. I cuddled Pascal and fell asleep for a bit.

A little later I woke up to Daniel shaking me.

Daniel: Come on we're gonna watch a movie!

You: Ugh five more minutes..or ten...make it twenty

Daniel: Come onnnnn!

You: Oh my god fine!

I got up as he walked out. I quickly changed out of Corbyn's hoodie and into a large t-shirt that fit me like a nightgown. I walked out and saw Corbyn on the couch. I threw the hoodie at him.

Corbyn: Hey what was that for?

You: Just cause

Corbyn: Ok well shush I'm on the phone right now.

You: Oh in that case I'll go put it in your room.

I grabbed it from him and folded it as I made my way up to his room. I went in and placed it on his bed. His room looked much different than the last time I saw it. He had his own little studio. A wall with Polaroid pictures. It was clean and tidy. I looked on his dresser and saw some pictures of him and a brunette girl. Christina. He dated her before Lera. Before me. Why would he still have them up? I went over to his studio and looked at the paper that was on top of the key board to his laptop. Song lyrics. I read them to myself and they were beautiful. We've had a few good nights and a couple of bad ones. A few bad fights but I'm glad that they happened. And at the end of the night, I can honestly say I'd do it over and over and over again, yeah. But you look. You look so perfect dancing next to me. I wish the sun would look the other way. They seemed very nostalgic. I saw some other lyrics too and read them. Tell me, have you seen a sunset. Turn into a sunrise. Kiss right through the night? 'Cause we should try that sometime. Hold you 'til the mornin' and if I said I'm fallin', would you just reply? "I know you are, but what am I?" These lyrics were beautiful. Whoever they were about, Christina most likely, they're one lucky person.

Corbyn: What are you doing?

You: Oh I'm sorry I was putting down your hoodie and I got a bit snoopy I'm super sorry.

Corbyn: Uh..Don't be it's fine.

You: So...you and Christina huh?

Corbyn: What do you mean?

You: You still talk to her?

Corbyn: Why does it matter to you?

You: No it doesn't I..Iwas just curious..

Corbyn: I..ok..yea I still talk to her..

You: Oh..how is she?

Corbyn: She's good.

You: Uh..I'm sorry I'm being nosy..again. Are you gonna watch the movie with us?

Corbyn: Uh yea I can't watch the whole thing though cause I have somewhere I need to be so

You: Hm alrighty then

I left the room and went downstairs to the couch. Not gonna lie it did break me a little to hear him say that they still talk. It's a good thing I didn't tell him how I felt. I saw Zach in the kitchen so I went to him.

Zach: Hey did you tell Corbyn about...

You: No uhm even better turns out he still talks to Christina so that'll be fun when she comes around.

Zach: Wait what? Christina Harris?

You: Yea

I went to the boys in the living room. And I needed to know. I was scared to ask but I need to know, it's killing me.

You: Guys did you know that Corbyn still talks to Christina?

Jonah: Christina as in his ex Christina?

You: The one and only

Daniel: I thought they were done

Jack: They're always on and off

Zach: Ok but why would he tell y/n that he loves her and then go off running with Christina? And most of all he lies to all of us. We never know that they're talking until days maybe weeks after they get together

You: They're together?

Zach: I didn't say that I'm just saying..we keep running in circles because of him.

I thought to myself for a second as I looked at the ground. Corbyn came running down the stairs and sat on the couch.

Corbyn: Lets get this party started!

Daniel: Can we watch friends?

Jonah: Oooh! Yes!

I sat down next to Zach as they put on friends. A few episodes in and we got to the break up scene between Ross and Rachel. I teared up a bit.

Jonah: Ross is so stupid

Corbyn: What do you mean?

Jack: Dude he cheated on Rachel and then said the girl was different no girl ever wants to hear that.

Corbyn: At least she knows he cheated.

You: That's not the point. The point is he cheated in the first place.

Corbyn: Dude he cheated that's it he could've done worse

You: What are you implying?

Corbyn: Rachel's overreacting

The boys looked at him in shock as I gave him a death stare. I saw Daniel pause the show as I sat up.

You: Corbyn..what's your definition of cheating

Corbyn: Full on getting married?

You: He had sex with another girl..

Corbyn: So?
