Kenzie's POV:
My eyes flutter open, and the house is way too silent for anyone else to be up. So I get out of bed, and head to the counter to check the time on the stove.

Don't judge me. I think I lost my phone last night.

The stove time reads 9:42. "Shit!" I mumble, turn around, and look at Kinsler's bed. He's not there. Matter of fact, the guys aren't here either. Trying not to freak out, I start looking for my phone.

When I find it, it is sitting on my bathroom counter with a full battery. Which is weird because if I left it in here overnight then it'd be dead because when I got home last night it was at ten percent.

Ignoring how it is fully charged, I unlock it, and check my messages. One from the group chat saying that they are fixing to be here, and one from my boss saying that I can have tonight off because someone called in asking for an extra shift.

Last one is weird because I never asked to take off. But again, I ignore it for now, and open the message from the guys.

Miles: Don't freak out. We took Kinsler to school, and got him breakfast

Eli: We also got us donuts and coffee

Dravon: Also, we may or may not have requested for you to be off tonight

Miles: If you're up then start getting ready. We want to help you get the beds and whatever else you need.

Me: YOU GUYS BASICALLY KIDNAPPED MY BROTHER!

Me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'may or may not have'? Because I am pretty sure you did!

Me: What kind of coffee and doughnuts?

None of them answered after that. I let put a huff, and start getting ready for the day.

After a short but very hot and relaxing shower, I get out, throw my hair into a towel to dry, brush my teeth, and put on a black cropped tank top, with a white crop top jacket, and a pair of charcoal grey sweatpants.

When I am finished getting ready, I head back to the living room where I am met with the guys.

"You think she's mad?" Eli asks not even acknowledging my presence. Dravon and Miles shrug.

    "I don't know. She yelled at us through text. Maybe her shower will calm her down." Dravon says, and the other two nod.

They all have yet to even notice that I am standing in the doorway looking at them.

"She has reason to be mad if you think about it from her perspective, but she'll get over it." Miles tells them, and Dravon and Eli nod.

    "Okay. If we get murdered I'm going to tell her it was all your idea." Eli says, pointing to Miles.

"Great! So I know who to kill in the most gruesome way." I say, and they all jerk their heads towards me. "Who's idea was it to get breakfast? They won't be killed in a very tortuous way." I say.
