014.

THERE WAS A KNOCK ON HER DOOR, she thought it would be madison, but when she opened it was drew holding a pack of beer in his left hand. "we're all watching harry potter in my room," he said while chewing gum and stuffing his phone in his jean's pocket using his other hand.  "what time?" she asked, pulling the sleeves of her full-sleeve t-shirt down. 

"in fifteen minutes," he replied, "didn't you check the group?" 

"nah, i was taking a nap," she ran her hands through her hair. it was a saturday and they had the day off, arabella had decided to sleep a lot because of the late night shoots that she and drew had. both of them usually got back to their rooms at three or four in the morning or had to get up early at five in the morning for shooting the early morning scenes.

"you gon' come?" he hoped she would, but she looked really tired. "yeah," she nodded, yawning and covering her mouth, "do you still have my wine?" he smiled a little, "haven't touched it since we watched that movie," he mumbled and she half-smiled. "i'll freshen up and come in a few minutes," she put her hair in claw clip before saying goodbye and closing the door. 

he crossed the corridor to his room, opening the door after scanning the key and tidied the room a little. he took it arabella's bottle of wine from the small refrigerator, keeping it on the counter in the small kitchen with her wine opener, that he found in a drawer. he turned on the television, opening the first harry potter movie and dimming the lights a little. 

he heard continuous knocks on the door and went to open it. rudy, chase and madison entered with a case of beer in rudy's hands. they settled in, chase and rudy on the floor while madison settled herself under the blanket. next, austin and carlacia came with some take out that they kept in the kitchen.

austin sat on the small two-seater couch by the window and carlacia snuggled in bed next to madison. arabella came a few seconds after them - still looking sleepy and tired, and sat next to austin. drew sat down on the floor next to rudy after jonathan and madelyn were all settled in too. arabella later moved to the bed with madelyn, lying in the front when drew turned on the movie. 

they all watched in silence, except for when somebody did something completely idiotic on the screen or in real life and all of them burst out laughing. drew and rudy made snarky and funny comments which made everybody laugh, but drew cared more if arabella laughed. he knew she was having a rough couple of days because she wasn't getting enough sleep, and the amount of sleep she got really affected how she generally was. 

the warm early may heat was fortunately not at its worst, and the cool air conditioning made the room just perfect to be in. half way through the movie, everybody took a small break. drinking and eating, going to restroom and having a small pillow fight, changing seating positions and finally, turning the movie back on.

arabella was sitting on the ground in between chase and madison and drew was sitting next to madison, everybody else was either on the bed or the couch. madison was lying with her head on arabella's shoulder, eating grapes and smacking chase's hand away whenever he tried to reach for one. 

arabella found herself turning her head to look at drew, something she promised herself not to do every time she did it, but she still did. she didn't even know why she was doing it, she would just steal a glance every four or five minutes, sometimes catching him looking at her - but he'd always act like he was calling chase for something.

it was weird, there was this weird tension in the air since he had talked to her about wolfgang. she had met wolfgang this week, he was in town to meet an aunt or something - arabella knew that that was a lie because he didn't really have an aunt who lived in charleston, all of his relatives lived either in new york or delaware.
