- it's one am again, like always, if there's any mistakes be nice to me because I'm fragile, thanks -

Vanessa's point of view

"Can I have a hug?" I asked Calum and he nodded. I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Michael, set up the Xbox?" Calum asked and he nodded. I yawned and Michael laughed. "You just got home from school, come on, don't fall asleep."

"I'm tired." I said and Michael asked if I could play a game with them. "I dunno..." I trailed off.

"Please! I want you on my team because Calum sucks." Michael said and I nodded as he handed me a controller.

"Let's go. I'll whoop both of you guys' asses." Calum said as I put my earbuds into my phone. I put one in and then pressed shuffle on my music.

Voodoo Doll played and I smiled because I love this song. I hummed the song and then went to create a class before any of them could. Michael groaned and I rolled my eyes as I quickly loaded all the guns I wanted.

I quickly fixed my score streak and then let them fix their classes and stuff. I kicked my feet up on Calum's lap and he chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"You need a teammate to whoop my ass, that's all." He said and Michael rolled his eyes. My bracelets jingled together as I picked my phone up, changing the song and accidentally skipping ahead in it.

"My friends say I should lock you down, before you figure me out and you run away," I hummed as Michael changed some of the settings.

"Do you always listen to our music?"

"Yes." I answered and Calum rolled his eyes. "Call me lucky cause in the end, I'm a six and she's a ten, she's so fit I'm insecure, but she keeps coming back for more."

Michael started the match and I waited for it to load. "Damn Daniel-"

"No."

"Okay." Calum said as he messed with my Vans. "I untied your shoe."

"Tie it back." I said and held my leg up, putting my shoe near his face. "Lace it back up since you untied it."

"No." He said and I pouted. "Mikey won't do it either."

"I'll sing for you if you tie my shoe Michael." I said and he quickly tied it. "Never thought I'd see the day were Michael does something so someone sings to him. Always thought I'd have to do something for him so he'd sing to me."

"You're lazy."

"You're rude." I shot back to Calum as I loaded my class. I quickly ran around and then chuckled. "If we win, you're cooking us food Calum."

"If I win, you're both cooking for me." He said and I shrugged as I gunned him down. "What?"

"What!" I said and he pushed me off of him as he sat up, turning his snapback around. "Like that will suddenly make you good at this."

"Ooh Calum, get rekt." Michael said and Calum scoffed.

"Michael! You died! You freaking suck dude!" I said and he told me not to yell at him. "I'm not yelling, I'm projecting my voice in your direction so you can get the picture that I'm trying to paint, you suck." I told him.

"Leave it to Vanessa to be a sassy little shit."

"I get it from my dad, fuck off." I said to him and gunned Calum down again. "You suck. You'd think you could beat a little girl at video games."
