We Go Together (Zack Merrick/ATL)

August 12th

*Vi's POV*
I woke up the next morning, to find the room empty. There was a note taped to my forehead, and it said:

Vi, we have an interview at 10:30, we decided to get breakfast before we went, so we bought you some pancakes, we had time before we had to get to the interview so we put them in the fridge for you. Watch our interview! Its on channel 34!

The boys xx

I checked the time on my phone, seeing it was only 10, I got up, and went to look for the pancakes in the fridge. I found a styrofoam box and assumed it was the pancakes. On the box was another note, this time from Jack.

Vi, sorry, I got kinda hungry on the way back from breakfast.

Jack xx

I opened the box, and saw that a bite was taken out of the pancake. I texted Rian, knowing he'd actually read and respond.

To: Dawson

Tell Jack I'm going to kill him. He ate my pancakes! :(

From: Dawson

Yeahhh, sorry about that. I'll tell him. gotta go, interview starts in 15! Xx

I didn't respond, instead I just finished off the pancakes, while watching whatever was on TV before the interview. It was some talk show, I didn't care enough to watch.

Finally, the show was switched to the boys, and I watched intently. It was like every other pre-tour interview. All the questions were focused on the tour, albums, and what the routines were on tour. About 15 minutes into the interview, they mentioned me. I shouldn't be surprised, since I am their opening act, but I was.

"So, how are things with Vi? No fights, everyone gets along?" John, the interviewer asked.

"Well, at the moment she wants to kill Jack." Rian said, laughing.

"She's mad at me, because we went to breakfast and brought her back pancakes, and well I ate some of them..." Jack explained.

"Yeah. She's great. She's an amazing singer, and she gets along with us really well. She's like a sister we've always wanted." Alex continued, giving an actually answer.

"That's good! No relationships so far?" John asked.

"Nope, she's a very beautiful girl, but I don't think she's interested in losers like us." Rian spoke, laughing quietly. I wasnt sure if it was because he knew that me and Zack were going on dates, or if it was because he just called them all losers on live TV.

Soon after, the interviewer ended the interview, thanking the guys. It cut to commercial, and I decided to call them.

"Hey Ri! Put me on speaker!" I said, not giving him the chance to respond.

"Hi!" The guys all responded in sync.

"Nice interview. You guys played that whole relationship thing off well. I'm officially calling you guys 'my losers' from now on. Thanks Ri." I said through the phone, laughing.

"Hurry up and get home! Its so quiet here." I continued.

"Okay okay, we're on our way home." Alex stated.

About 20 minutes passed before they barged through the door. I gave them all keys, they basically live here anyway.

"MY LOSERS ARE BACK!" I yelled, running over to them and tackling them all into a group hug.

They didn't even acknowledge me, they gently pushed me off, and ran to go order pizza.

"Hey. That was mean!" I said, pouting, trying not to laugh. Zack stayed by my side and hugged me.

"Better?" He asked.

"Better." I said, hiding my face in his shoulder.

We stayed like that, even when the guys came in the room, talking about 'relationship goals'.

"God" I said stepping away from the hug, wrapping one arm around his torso. "You guys are like teenage girls!" I laughed.

"What? Its not our fault that you two are the cutest couple out there!" Jack defended.

"We aren't even dating!" I protested.

"Yet!" Zack, surprisingly, spoke up. "We need to go on more dates. But until then, you can't really talk about 'relationship goals!" He said, laughing.

Until the pizza came, that's all they talked about. Me and Zack. And shockingly, I was okay with it. I'm comfortable around all of them, and even though relationships are kind of awkward for me, it was cute to see them all gush about us. Knowing that even the guys thought we were cute made me happy. Its one thing for the fans to be like that, but the guys aren't even disgusted by our (somewhat) PDA.

The doorbell interrupted Alex's explanation of what OTP stood for, and Jack jumped up, running to the door.

He came back, and set the food on the table. We got our plates, and filled our cups up with our drink of choice before heading to the living room. For once, we all sat around the coffee table, and not on the couches. I always liked doing that. I don't know why, but sitting on the couches when eating with a group of people was weird to me.

It was quiet, so I decided to ask a question that was on my mind all day. "Who stuck that note on my forehead?" I asked, laughing.

Alex raised his hand, before shrugging. "I knew you wouldn't see it anywhere else."

"True." I laughed.

"I'm so nervous for that interview, on Friday." I said, finally deciding to speak my mind.

"Why?" Rian spoke.

"I'm not sure, I guess its just a big step for me. Like it makes it official that tour starts soon, very soon, and that this is real. That I actually met you guys, that I'm talented enough to tour with a famous band, let alone my insane best friends. Its only been what, 3 months? And all this stuff has happened. Before I met you guys, my life was boring as shit. I did nothing, didn't have friends, and didn't leave the house. So thank you. I raised my cup, the guys following.

"To an amazing tour!"

Exactly 1000 words, cool! I hope this isn't getting boring, the prank war will continue, and the interview that they are doing should be pretty cool. It won't be like the typical ones, its gonna be like 'who in the band is most likely too' type questions.
