     My left leg was uncomfortably stretched under Ashton's torso while the other was going straight back. My right arm was over calums leg and the other was crossed on another color. I was on the verge of collapsing into the jungle of limbs.

   Michael sat cross legged on the floor with the spinning wheel because he insisted on being the instructor.

Luke lay strewn across with one of his lanky legs over my arm and his face in between Calums legs.

"Can I please give up?" Luke pleaded.

Michael looked up from the wheel he was spinning back and forth like a child and gave Luke an astonished face.

"No! That defeats the whole purpose of the game," Michael said with wide eyes like a puppy.

"Right foot yellow," Michael called out after he spun the wheel.

Ashton groaned as he tried repositioning his leg to the yellow dot.

Shuffling and a loud thud was heard seconds later as I turn around to find Calum laying on the floor with his face scrunched up in pain.

"Ya I'm out," Calum said causing Luke to chuckle as Calum brought his body off the floor and walked over to the couch holding his back with one hand.

Ashtons body maneuvered around so he could talk to me.

"Wanna pretend to fall so we can get out?" He whispered to me and Luke so Michael wouldn't hear.

We both nodded our heads and Ashton quietly counted down from 3.

"One," he finally whispered before collapsing on the mat and rolling over not long before me and Luke. We all fake groaned and lay on the twister mat.

"Come on guys, none of you could make that step?" Michael asked slightly pouting.

I got up first and sat down on the couch near Calum.

"Sorry Michael," Ashton shrugged as he wedged his way between Calum and me, followed by Luke on the other side.

Michael sighed and got up, discarding the game that was on the ground.

I look at the time on my phone and slide it back into my pocket.

"Ya, this time I really should be leaving, it's getting late," I say as I get up from the couch.

"No, please don't go!" Ashton said before getting up and trapping me in a hug. "I haven't seen you in forever, you can't leave me!"

I wiggle my arms free and gently push Ashton off of me.

"I'm sorry I don't want t-"

"Please don't get just yet, we need to talk!" Calum says as he attacked me with a side hug.

I laugh lightly and bring my hand up to pat his back as he pouts with his bottom lip out.

"I really am sorry," I felt bad for leaving these boys but I didn't want to interfere in their guy time or whatever they call it. "We can catch up another time, I promise."
