i walked past the room half an hour later, and the two were in bed, blake asleep, half on george's chest, and george with his eyes open.

"hi." i smiled, walking in. "is he alright?"

"yeah. we kinda just kissed for a while then talked a bit, and he went to sleep."

"are you alright?"

"um, yeah, thanks. my parents were a little shocked but they said they'd support me no matter what." george said with a small smile.

"good," i said, "but, what do you want to do now?"

"i'll probably just go to sleep too."

"are you sure? i know he's hurt, but you don't have to do everything he does."

"yeah, thank you. i know, but i'm pretty tired too." george said with a small smile.

"alright, sleep well." i said and walked out, pulling the door too.

i woke up suddenly and heard sobbing, realising it was blake.

"i'm gonna go check he's alright." i said to a now-awake reece, and got out of bed, went into the dogs room and grabbed louis, before wandering into the 'sleepover room' where the two had stayed.

blake was sat up, face in his palms as george was holding him gently.

"are you alright?" i asked softly and both boys looked in my direction. "i brought a fur ball, if that helps?"

blake nodded a little and i handed him louis, allowing him to cuddle the puppy. "thank you." he said.

"did you have a nightmare?"

"yeah." blake mumbled.

"do you want to talk about it?" i questioned softly and blake nodded, "with who?"

"um, can i just talk to you?" he asked quietly and i nodded, as george let go of him and, i assume, walked into my bedroom to talk to reece.

i sat down next to nlake, "um, so, my parents completely hated me, and i'd done something to make you really disappointed with me, and my parents got me and george, and started to torture the other in front of the other, consecutively. and it was really killing me."

"blake, it's alright. that would never happen, okay?" i said, hugging him gently.

"thank you so much, for everything." blake said and i nodded.

"it's fine." i smiled. "do you want me to explain to george?" i asked and blake nodded. "alright, well you get some sleep and cuddle lou if you want."

"george." i said, walking into my bedroom, then explaining the basis of blake's nightmare.

"oh." george mumbled, thanked me and went to cuddle blake again as i got back in bed, reece pulling my front to his.

"wake up." reece whined, poking my cheek and i yawned, wrapping the covers around me tightly and rolling away from him, trying to get back to sleep.

i heard him chuckle, "you're so annoying."

"thank you." i mumbled sarcastically and he put his face next to mine on the pillow and pecked my lips before attempting to pull the covers off me.

"nope." i giggled, "either you cuddle me or you leave." i said and i lifted the edge of the covers, allowing him to cuddle me.

half an hour later, at about 11, i finally got up and picked up the labradors and bambi, taking them downstairs, reece following, and walking into the kitchen, where blake and heorge were sat at the island.

"good morning." i smiled and they both smiled back.

louis was on the sofa, but ran over when i filled up his and bambi's bowls and i put bambi down too, still holding the labradors, which i then put on the island.

"tea?" i asked.

"please."

"yeah."

"of course."

i made the drinks, giving one to each boy and drinking one myself, sitting in the middle of the island, the puppies wandering to me and collapsing in my lap.

"what d'you guys want to do today?" i asked.

"i don't mind."

"dunno."

"what do you want to do?"

i laughed at their useless responses and shrugged, "i don't know."

"nandos?" george suggested.

i nodded, "sure." and bake and reece agreed too.
