Chapter Three // Netflix and Boxes of Memories

I sat on my couch drinking beer and watching American Horror Story, when my phone buzzed.

Brendon: what are u doing??

Ellie: ahs and alcohol, y?

Brendon: because I'm bored; sounds amazing can I join?

Ellie: sure🙂

Brendon: I'll be there in ten

Brendon rang the doorbell and I yelled, "IT'S UNLOCKED!!"

Brendon walked around the couch and plopped beside me, holding a beer. "Friday nights, they're the best," Brendon joked and I rolled my eyes.

"I've never done something cool on a Friday," I shrugged.

"This is cool, we're cool," Brendon replied. "Let's be honest, Tate is sexy."

"He is," I laughed, and Brendon busted into laughter.

"So you're going to admit another person is sexy when we're together?" Brendon chuckled.

"Is Jennifer Lopez sexy?" I asked.

"Yes," Brendon said absentmindedly.

"See, we both admit we have crushes for hot people that we'll never have a chance with, simple as that," I shrugged and Brendon nodded.

"Does that mean I have a crush on you?" Brendon questioned and I stayed silent staring at him.

"I'm a blogger, you're in a band adored by millions, I think it's the other way around," I responded and Brendon shook his head.

"So many guys are attracted to you, single and young guys, you have plenty of people," Brendon smirked.

"You do too!" I laughed.

"Fine, we both have crushes on each other," Brendon accepted, and stuck out his beer, "cheers, my love."

I tapped my beer to his, and we both drank them.

"Tate is nice to her, but that's a bit extreme," Brendon chuckled, his arm around my waist.

"Yeah but he made a promise," I replied and Brendon nodded, turning to me.

"But promises don't always last," Brendon looked me in the eye.

"Yeah, that's a different story," I shrugged and Brendon smiled at me.

"You're great and hiding your feelings, but I hope you know I can see past your outside," Brendon whispered.

"Okay," I nodded.

"You don't have a problem with that?" Brendon chuckled and I shook my head. "Why?"

"Because I trust you with keeping my feelings away from other people," I answered and Brendon smiled.

"You're beautiful when you don't even try, it's weird," Brendon chuckled and I felt my cheeks burning. "I should head out soon before I get to drunk."

I grabbed Brendon's arm as he got up. "Just stay," I mumbled and Brendon sat beside me again, rewrapping his arm around my waist, and laying his head against mine.

"I don't have any clothes," Brendon stated, and I shook my head.

"My brothers have extra clothes upstairs from when they visit, you can borrow some of their's," I replied and Brendon nodded.
