•{ leila's POV }•

i woke up around 11am, and everyone was still asleep except for chris. i slowly untangle myself from matt without waking him up, grab my phone and make my way towards chris. "hey kid" i say sitting down. he sits up, making space for me on his bed, "morning" he replies with a yawn. "how long have you been awake?" i ask him.

"i didn't sleep"

"what are you talking about? i was up until late and you guys were all asleep"

"no, i just had my hood on and my phone brightness was low. i heard your whole conversation with matt last night"

i smile a bit "you idiot" he laughs. he looks around and sees that everyone is still asleep "you wanna go get food from down that cafe down the street?" he asks. i hesitate for a moment, then look at matt and he seemed fine, he looked better

"you haven't slept tho aren't you tired?" i ask. "nah, im ok, cmon let's go" i smile and go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, put my hair in a plat and put a bit of makeup on. i change into some loose jeans, a white tank crop top. i also grab some sun glasses cause it was pretty sunny. i grab my purse or handbag or whatever and chris went to the bathroom after me so he could get ready. after about 5 or 10 minutes her came out and we went towards the door.

i step out of the hotel room and close the door behind me. we take the elevator down to the main floor and the lady at the front desk notices us "look at you guys, up and ready after so long" she says. we smile "have a good day you two" she says "thank you, you too" we reply.

we walk down the road listening to music from my AirPods. i put on the left AirPod and chris puts in the right. i let him pick the songs he wants until we get to the cafe. i noticed chris fidgeting with his bracelet a lot and i just knew his stressing about matt. i stop walking causing him to stop too, "what?" he asks. i say nothing and just give him a hug "he's ok" i say softly. he hugs me back tighter and rests his head on top of mine "thank you" he mumbles.

after a few minutes we pull out of our hug and continue to walk to the cafe. he left his arm around my shoulders and i left mine around his waist as we walked. once we got to the cafe, we order what we wanted then sat at a table.

"leila, im gonna ask you something and you have to be completely honest" chris says as we sit down "uh oh. im in trouble" i say taking the seat in from of him. "no, you're not idiot" he says laughing a bit. i stare at him while i wait for him to say something "do you have feelings for my brother?" he asked.

"chris... we established this already, nick is gay, we just act like that for fun"

"no you dumb shit, my other brother"

"ewww, justin is literally OLDER than my own brother"

"are you stupid?! you better be fucking playing with me"

"what?"

"matt?!!"

"oh right, that one"

he looks at me unamused and i laugh "im just kidding- i love messing with you boys. your reactions are hilarious and yall are so gullible"
