-Dahlias POV-

Ding! A text pops up on my phone just as I roll out of bed.

'Three more days!' Calum sent it as a group text.

'Yay!' Maya's reply comes in.

I turn to look over at her. She's under her blankets with her phone over her head.

'I can see you...' I type.

Maya's throws the blanket off. "Creeper!"

'You can see me?' Michael texts.

Maya and I read it at the same time and start to laugh.

'No, not you! Me!' Maya quickly types.

'I WAS ASLEEP BEFORE ALL THESE TEXTS WOKE ME UP.' Ah, Ashton is awake now.

'And Luke replies in 3...' I send.

'2...' Michael does the next number.

'1...' Calum finishes.

'Boo. You're annoying.' Yep, now Luke's awake.

"Morning!" I yell at the wall. Ashton room is on the other side.

"I'm starving!" He yells back.

"The hotel management will be so happy when we leave..." Maya looks amused.

"Nah, they'll miss us!"

"Mmhm, sure. Like how we miss that kid that lived across the street last year?"

"Ew. I hated that evil child."

"He was like a horror movie in a four foot body."

I shudder. "Thank goodness they moved."

"Uh huh."

Checking my phone again I see multiple unread texts.

'Yeah, the girls were kidnapped, that's why they're not responding.'

'Oooo, save them Luke!'

'Stop.'

'I can hear them screaming for you two. Calummmm! Luuuke!'

'Stop.'

Wow, they're all so immature. And I love them all so much.

'Thanks for saving us! *eye roll*' I type.

'See, they're fine Ashton!'

'Nah, they're dead.'

'...'

I laugh and go get changed, then walk over to see them all sitting on their couch, texting in the group chat.

"Wow."

"Hmm?"

"You're all sitting here. Together. Texting each other."

"Yes we are."

"Okay," I sit on Calum's lap.

'Come join us Maya. We're being antisocial!' I send the text to just her.

'...Okay?'

'They've never been this quiet before. It's shocking.'

'Okay I'm coming.'

I laugh at her response.

"What's so funny?" Calum whispers in my ear.

"Nothing. Why're you whispering?"

"Because everyone is quiet."

"Yes we are so shut up," Michael looks up.

'Okay.' Calum texts.
