~Kendall's POV~
I drove Toby to Jack's place and I saw Rhett and Link outside.
"Hey you two!!"
I high-fived them and gave them hugs. Toby just waved awkwardly and rubbed his eyes.
"Let me guess. He didnt get enough nappy time?" Rhett whispered to me.
"Guess not.." There was a squeal of tires and a electric blue pickup pulled up the street. A girl with auburn hair climbed out of the cab, a white box and drinks balancing on top of her hands.
"Delanie.."
"That's Delanie?"
"Who's Delanie?" Rhett and Link both looked seriously confused.
"A childhood friend and love of mine." Toby was staring at her. As Delanie got closer, I could see how she looked. She didn't look too well.
"Oh!" She almost spilled the coffee as she spotted the four of us.
"Delanie is it?" Link went up and shook her hand. The boxes almost went tumbling down.
"Careful!" Rhett grabbed the coffee from her and smiled. "Come on, I don't think Toby would mind you staying here while we worked."
Delanie's blue eyes just shined with joy as she followed behind Rhett and Link. The boys were leading her while I stayed with Toby on the curb.
"She looks worse than I thought."
"What?" I acted like I didn't hear him.
"Nothing.. Come on." He grabbed my arm and hauled me through the front door.
~Michaela's POV~
'Michael.. I might not be coming back to Florida.'
'Y baby?'
'Delanie's happy here.'
'Bull. Leave her there. She doesn't need u.'
'Ur an ass michael.'
'So are u.' I slammed my phone against my mattress and cried. Jack came in, sitting next to me.
"Michaela.. You okay?"
"Michael's being a jerk."
"I'm sorry. Toby, Kendall, Rhett, and Link are here if you wanna come out."
That's when he left me and closed the door.
~Link's POV~
I sat on the couch eating a raspberry filled doughnut and watching Delanie. She moved so off.. She didn't look right. And it would be rude to point that out.
"Hey." She walked by me and smiled, her blue eyes shining. I could see why Toby fell for her. She's cute.
"Hey. Delanie right?"
"You asked me that outside." She laughed a little before sinking into the chair more.
"Oh yeah.. Haha. Something wrong?" I took another bite of my doughnut and ended up biting my fingers.. Guess I ate too fast.
"Just getting recovered is all."
"From what?"
Delanie looked up at me. There was sadness in those pretty eyes and I felt really bad. I didn't even know this girl for 2 minutes and I already wanted to be her bestie.
"Nothing.. Just didnt sleep well." Toby walked by and sit down.
"You eating?" He offered her a cinnamon roll and she shook her head. Delanie crossed her legs and that's when I noticed the mythical shoes she was wearing. I was wearing the same pair.
"Hey!! We got the same shoes on!"
Delanie looked at her feet then mine and smiled. Toby was staring at her like he was expecting some great emergency to happen.
I got up, beckoning Toby to follow.
"What's up with Delanie?"
"She. Nothing. She's just tired is all." His pupils dilated, which usually means people are lying.
"Toby.."
"Why do you care?"
"Well you should care!"
Toby's face just turned into this mask of pain and misery.
"You think I don't worry about her! She's tried to kill herself twice!! You think I'm not worried?!"
That's the answer I wanted. I wanted to know what was wrong with Delanie. After Toby realized what he said, he tried to take it back.v
"What? No., no.."
"Toby.. It's fine. All I wanted to know was whats wrong. Come on. Lets go work on the video."
As we walked back over to the couch, Jack's younger sister, Michaela, walked in in nothing but a long t-shirt and underwear.
"Michaela!" Jack snapped. She finally looked up at saw me and Rhett there. Her face flushed and she got really embarrassed.
"I'm sorry!" Michaela ran back into her room and slammed the door.
"Sorry about her.. Boyfriend troubles."
~Toby's POV~
Delanie's mood seemed to lighten up when Link started talking to her. Rhett just kept observing her from a distance.
"Hey Rhett." I playfully punched his arm and he looked up.
"What Toby."
"Hey man.. Is something wrong?"
"Yeah.. My little mans sick and I don't wanna be away from him."
"Look. You don't have to stay here. Go to him. We'll call you when we start okay?"
Rhett smiled and stood up, "I'll see everyone later."
"Bye Rhett!" Kendall, Delanie, Jack, and Link all chorused at the same time.
"Okay guys.. Lets get started."
