Glitch || s.m.

11.0

I wake up to an empty bed, without Simon. I sigh before sitting up and rubbing my eyes. Was that just a dream?

I pick up my phone and check the time, eleven. I also see the text messages, so I go into them and read them.

Alex how was ur bf?? ;)

Sammy where'd u go?? U told me ur knee was better...

Jake guess who's coming to London???

I smile reading over Jake's message before quickly typing a reply.

Jayden shut up!? I missed u little bro

Jake is my little brother, by two minutes. I never let him forget it, but he decided to go to University in America, so I haven't seen him in such a long time. I wonder how he's got time with school, but decide not to ask him and just be excited.

I sigh before quickly replying to Alex, ignoring Sammy for now, not knowing what to say.

Jayden He's not my bf

Alex then have him hmu ;)

Jayden he has a gf Alex

Alex oh...

I roll my eyes at her desperation, before leaving the guest room. I notice that Simon's door is shut, so I decide not to bother him and go downstairs.

I enter the kitchen and notice Vikk is in there eating a bowl of cereal.

"Morning," I mumble before sending a smile his way. He smiles back at me, while I look around confused. "Um, where are the glasses?"

"In the cupboard right in front of you," he responds, politely. I quickly get one and fill it with water before sitting down across from Vikk, him now being the one I know the least.

With dinner last night I got to know the other three boys quite well. At least the best I could in the time I was with them.

"So, how's life?" I ask, not being very creative with my approach to conversation. Vikk shrugs before taking another bite of his cereal.

"I've managed to get back up to date with my videos, but I'm assuming you don't want to hear about all that. Otherwise, it's just been quite busy," he admits, and I nod along, even though I don't actually understand what he's talking about.

"Honestly Vikk, if you want to rant to me, go for it. I may not understand some of it, but I'll manage," I say, clearly telling that he's under some stress with it. I hope he's not like this all the time, because that's a lot of stress for one person.

"I don't know, YouTube just seems like a lot more work recently. I guess, the more subscribers you get, the harder it is to keep them happy," Vikk sighs, starting a rant. He continues to talk about it for a long time, filling me in on how he feels.

He answers any questions that I have and helps me understand that it's like this for almost all of the guys.

I feel sorry for all of them having that weight on their shoulders. I guess being a YouTuber isn't as easy as it's made out to be.

"Honestly, I still love it though. Making the viewers happy really does make it all worth it. And we get amazing opportunities, so I shouldn't be complaining," Vikk finishes, and I watch as he stands up and rinses out his bowl before setting it in the sink.

"That's a lot of stress for one person Vikk, you have all the right to rant about it," I mutter and Vikk sends me a small smile before walking towards the kitchen door.

"Thanks for listening Jay, and if you want cereal, it's just there. The milk's in the fridge," Vikk points out so I nod smiling to him before he leaves. I hear his feet going up the stairs, so I let out a sigh.

"Hey Jay," Simon smiles, coming into the kitchen, not leaving much time for me to be alone. He goes over and grabs the cereal that Vikk just pointed out to me. "Want some?"

"Please," I mumble before standing up and walking over to him, not really sure what to do. I should probably leave soon.

"Sorry for leaving you, I had to record with Josh," Simon brings up causing me to realise it wasn't a dream. He quickly grabs two bowls and sets them down before pouring cereal into them. I smile to myself realising exactly what had happened last night.

"That's fine," I say as he pours the milk into the bowls as well. He grabs two spoons from a drawer next to him before putting one into each bowl. He hands me my bowl before he takes his and walks back to the island, sitting down and starting to eat.

I sit down across from him, sitting where Vikk has previously been since Simon sat where I had been.

"Do you have classes today?" Simon asks suddenly, apparently only just remembering I go to University. His eyes go wider slightly while staring at me.

"No," I say, chuckling slightly, "I wouldn't have stayed over if I did."

"I was scared," he breathes out, putting a hand over his chest, over exaggerating. "Wait, what about your job?"

"No, Simon. Don't worry," I mutter before eating more of my cereal. He winks at me jokingly, before Harry joins us in the kitchen.

"Well, if it isn't my third favourite person," Harry announces before messing up my hair by rubbing my head, causing me to scrunch up my nose and slouch in my seat, trying to get out of his reach.

"Third?" I question, seeing as Harry is leaving me alone and probably getting his own bowl of cereal, but I'm to lazy to actually look.

"Yeah, after Katie and myself," he laughs causing me to roll my eyes, after making eye contact with Simon. Simon shrugs before Harry sits down next to me, smiling.

"Well, sorry to break it to you, but you're my fourth favourite," I retaliate causing his smile to turn into a frown. He looks away from me and sticks his nose in the air, pretending to be snobby.

"Who's your first favourite?" Simon questions propping his elbows onto the island and his chin on top of his palm. He looks at me, waiting an answer so I smile at him.

"Of course it's you, babe," I say, over exaggerating babe. Harry quits his act, looks at me, and pouts instead, sticking his bottom lip out quite far.

"Babe?" he asks sadly, clearly not being serious.

"Sorry, you missed your chance, Harold," I smile, causing him to roll his eyes at me, and Simon to chuckle slightly.
