Recap

"Sorry?" I said making it sound like a question."Am I supposed to?" I asked.

Who the fuvk are you guys?

"No its just that most people do, is all." Aaron said.

"Okay, but what are you guys from though?" I asked curiously.

"Vine and YouTube" Shawn informed me.

"Cool" I said trying not to sound unsure of what to say but I unfortunately failed at that.

"Yeah its fun." Jack G. said.

"What are you guys' last names" I asked, directing my question towards the Jacks.

"Johnson" Jack J. said, getting up from the couch and going over to Brook and Skylynn to play with them.

"Gilinsky" Jack G. said.

I gave them a nod in return.

 Riley was basically drooling over the guys and wasn't even trying to hide it. Nobody talked for a while so it felt kind of awkward for me. I started laughing at Riley's drooling and since Shawn was sitting by me he looked at me weird.

"Whats so funny?" He asked, looking up from his phone.

"Nothing" I said, getting up from the couch. I grabbed Riley's arm and pulled her to the kitchen.

"Stop drooling, yeah?" I said making her giggle in embarrassment.

"Whatever. Its not like they saw me."

"Sure they didn't." I said, sarcastically." Taylor couldn't take his eyes off of you."

"Yeah, right." She chuckled as she rolled her eyes, voice filled with sarcasm.

"He was." I said giving up because she's stubborn as hell. "Whatever."

Riley's the type of girl that doesn't believe that anyone of the human race would ever find her somewhat attractive. Even though I think she's the definition of beautiful she can't bring herself to believe. The only person that knows about her having low self-esteem because she hides it very well. She doesn't like pity and if people knew about her low self-esteem, they wouldn't treat her like they normally do. They would feel like they couldn't joke around by insulting each other and that would just annoy her. She would like to be treated normally. That's the one thing I hated about Riley, she never thought she was good enough for what she got. But the only time she thought about her not deserving anything she got was late at night, when she couldn't sleep. She wouldn't think about it during the day cause she would block it out of her mind and distract herself.

I went to the fridge opening it and looking for something to drink. I settled on drinking a soda and asked Riley if she wanted one. I told her to look for cups in the cupboard. She held out the cups as I poured the soda into the cups.

"So do you like any of the guys?" She asked me sounding desperate to talk about boys.

"Nope" I said popping the 'p'.

"Don't lie" She giggled.

"I'm serious."

"Well, what if you had to choose one to like, who would it be? And why?" She asked curiously.

"Well luckily for me I don't have to choose" I told her happily, leaving her in the kitchen, walking back to the living room and plopping down on the couch.

My phone began to vibrate in my back pocket making me laugh as the ringtone began to play, 'Baby Come Through'. I took it out and checked the screen to see the caller ID, Bertie.
