My Guys.

Michael

"You okay, beautiful?" I asked when she walked into my room when I walked out of the bathroom. She gave me a small smile and nodded before climbing under my covers. "Do you want to eat something?" I sat besides her.

"I'm not hungry." she sighed. "Am I a horrible person, Michael?" She looked at me with a sad expression.

"Not at all, my beautiful." I stroked her hair softly. She sighed and turned the other way.

"Jasmine, what do you want to eat?" Xander walked in. He and Alex went with her to the clinic this morning.

"Nothing..." she whined. "I just want to be left alone."

"Then go to your own room or eat something." he said.

"Fine. I'll go to my room." she mumbled and got out of my bed and was about to walk out but I got up and gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Sweetheart..." I guided her to my bed. "Gheobhaidh mé í le hithe. Ná bí buartha." I said calmly and he nodded and left. (I'll get her to eat. Don't worry.)

"Jasmine." Alex walked in. "Come look at this new curtain I got. It makes my room completely pitch black."

"That sounds scary. Why would you want that?"

"Because somehow, I got the room that receives the most amount of light and it's not fun. You're not scared of the dark, are you?" He laid on his stomach on my bed.

"No..."

"Prove it." he got back up in attempt to make her feel better.

She smiled and got up "Fine." She grabbed the bottom of my vest and dragged me to Alex's room where it really was pitch black. "Why would you not want some light to come in?" she asked, standing closer to me as Alex closed the door.

"Because it's annoying."

"You're annoying. Can I go now?" she headed towards the door but Alex pulled her back.

"Scared?" he asked.

"Unimpressed." she replied, pulling me out of the room.

. . .

"Guys..." she caught our attention after dinner when I came back inside.

"Yes?" Xander asked, putting the plates in the dishwasher.

"Okay I just want to say that this decision is entirely up to you and you don't have to listen to me but I was just wondering if-" she began mumbling.

"Say that again." I asked.

She sighed. "It's okay never mind." she shrugged.

"No say it." Leo responded.

"I just said I was wondering if you guys were willing to stop smoking because I don't like it." she looked at the floor, avoiding eye contact.

"You want us to stop smoking?" Xander asked.

I looked at Alex who was visibly stressed but I don't think she realised. Personally, I just smoke casually and so does Xander. Leo and Alex however...they smoke at least twice a day which is weird because we rarely used to smoke a few years ago.

"Only if you want to! I don't want to like pressure you or anything. It was just a suggestion." she shrugged.

"Yeah okay." he shrugged. "I can do that."

Her shoulders dropped "Yeah?" she asked with a small smile.

"Yeah."

"Same." I agreed. "What about you Alex?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
