Carter's POV

I woke up to 4 arms wrapped around me. I opened my eyes to look at the people and room. For the second time in a few hours, all the memories flooded back to me and I suddenly realized where I am.

I look at Ashton and Bryana's peaceful sleeping faces and feel a smile creep on my face. I stretch a bit and sit up gently, trying not to wake them up. I crawl out front the end of the bed and walk out of my room and down the stairs. I go into the kitchen and I grab a water bottle.

I walk out and hear noises downstairs. I set my water bottle down and walk slowly towards the basement door, which Ashton showed me in the tour he gave me. I open it slowly and listen for what the noise is. It sounds like a video game.

"What?" I whisper to myself as I walk down the stairs to see who's playing video games at 5 o'clock in the morning.

I get to the bottom landing and peak around the corner. Smiling, I shake my head and watch my uncle from behind.

There sits Michael (A/N shocker) playing some video game with guns and cars and what appears to be a lot more violence. I decide to stop staring and walk up to him. I come out from around the corner and walk towards him.

"Hey Mikey" I break the silence, which causes Michael to jump in fright and look at me with wide eyes.

"Jesus, Carter! You scared the shit out of me! When'd you get down here?" I laugh at his reaction and sit beside him on the couch.

"Like a minute ago. I heard noise and decided to investigate." He nods his head and goes back to his game.

"Well sorry if I disturbed you." We both chuckle and I tell him that he didn't and we both watch the screen intensely.

"What is this game?" I ask after a minute or so of listening and watching him play.

"Oh, it's Grand Theft Auto San Andreas." He answers, not breaking eye contact with the screen.

I nod my head and continue to watch him play. After about 10 minutes of watching, I notice him start to glance at me every minute or so. He does that for about three more minutes until he pauses the game and sets the remote down. I look back at him and raise an eyebrow. He just stretches and leans back, looking at me.

"So, how are you feeling?" He says, his eyes holding both curiosity and seriousness. I tilt my head in confusion as my eyebrows knit together.

"Um, good, I guess. Why?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. Michael just shrugs and continues to answer,

"Well you just moved in and this drama and I wanted to know how you were dealing with all of it." He says with a bit of concern. I nod my head as I mimic his shrug.

"I'm okay. I mean, the whole 'Luke and girlfriend' thing is a bit hard but other than that, it's been great. I really like it here." I smile as all the good things that happened rush through my mind. Michael starts to smile back when he sees my smile come to life.

"That's great, I'm glad you like it. And with the whole 'Luke' thing, I wouldn't worry too much. I mean, he'll come to his senses sooner or later." I nod at his response, hoping that it happens soon.

"Thanks Mikey, I hope you're right." We smile at each other and Michael opens his arms for a hug. I move towards him and gently fall into his arms. We both giggle a little before he grabs the remote again, with me still in his arms, and continues to play. I just smile and watch him play, enjoying the loving company. Not too long after, I start to get drowsy and end up dozing off, thinking about Luke coming and apologizing.

---------------------------

"Awe! Look at them!"
"That's so cute!"
"I have to get a picture of this!"

As I start to wake up, I hear a few different voices around me followed by a flash of a light and the shutter of a camera. I feel the arms around me, who I know remember to be Mikey, tighten slightly and his body shift as he starts to wake up too. I then hear his groans and protests as he hears more shutters.

"Guuys, stop" He grumbles and moves a little, causing me to lay more on his chest and someone standing in front of us to let out a loud laugh. I decide to open my eyes to see who was taking the pictures and awing over the moment. I scrunch my nose and eyes as I stretch slightly and slowly open my eyes, letting them adjust the light of the room. Bryana, Ashton, and Calum stand in front of us with grins on their faces and adoration in their eyes.

"Dang it, Calum! You woke her up!" Bryana turns to Cal and smacks his chest lightly as he holds his hands up in surrender, apologizing after. They all turn back to Mikey and i, smiling again.

"Good morning, sunshine!" Ashton says happily while grinning. I smile back and mumble a good morning back, sitting up and stretching more. Mikey sits up after me, running a hand threw his hair and rubbing his eyes. We all exchange mornings and decide to head upstairs to eat breakfast.

"We had no clue that you left us this morning," Bryana says while hugging me and explaining how the trio searched all over for Mikey and I. We get upstairs and start for the kitchen, Calum mumbling about his hangover. We all sit at the island, Ashton starting on breakfast while Calum gets everyone coffee, a tea, or juice. We all sit and chit-chat while Ashton makes pancakes.

"Eh-hem." Someone new in the room clears their throat, causing everyone to shift their gaze the door. A messy haired Luke stands awkwardly by the door, shifting his weight and looking at everyone with sorrow.
