"he did what?" katt asked in disbelief and took another sip from her coffee. you sighed.

"he was fucking another girl on the couch while i was out grocery shopping. i happened to come home early and there they were." you said, trailing off a bit. you were clearly bothered by the topic. you felt her hand on my arm trying to comfort you. you smiled at her touch.

"everything will be alright. who needs him anyway? you're just as good, if not better, without him." she said leaning back once more. you shrugged half heartedly as you both switched your attention to the door, hearing a jumble of noisy guys barge in with devilish grins upon their faces. they stopped at the sight of both of you, exchanging confused looks. katt got up to address the situation, in other words, you. "guys, this is y/n. she'll be staying for a while until she can find a place of her own." she said and you shyly waved. they came over to approach you.

"i'm max, katt's boyfriend. we haven't officially met yet but i'm glad we did." he said shaking your hand. you looked up at katt a bit surprised.

"boyfriend?" you asked. she nodded.

"she didn't tell you?" he asked looking at her confused as well.

"not at all." you said but you weren't angry, just surprised.

"i thought i did? oh well, now you know." she said as the others came by.

"i'm ian." the tall one said. he had decent sized square glasses on with these beautiful hazel eyes. you were a bit intimidated at first but he seemed like a nice guy. the guy next to him though, was much more attractive.

"george." he said as he flashed a quick smile. he sat down on the other couch on his laptop, seeming to block everyone out. ian sat down next to you and max next to katt.

"so should we hold off filming today?" he asked max, who was already looking in our direction. "after all, we do have a guest." he said with a smile on his face.

"yeah i think we should. what brings you here today, y/n?" max asked. you shook your head.

"bad break up. nothing i can't handle." you said curling your hair behind your ear. it got silent for a second before the conversation was revived.

"sounds like a perfectly good reason to drink." he said, going to the counter and pulling out a few liquor bottles. with a few clanks he's already got a few shot glasses filled. he brings them over and hands them out. "fuck men." he says before taking it. you laugh and drink up, wincing at the strong taste of the vodka.

"fuck men." you repeat remembering what happened. you checked the time.

"so, y/n, where are you from?" ian asked you, sparking a conversation since max and katt seemed to be deep in theirs. you look over to him.

"h/t, but i decided to move to australia spontaneously i guess. i'm planning to move to new york probably sometime soon though." you explained and his eyes lit up. him and george exchanged looks.

"new york you say?" he asked. now they were both looking at you. you gave them both confused looks.

"uh yeah. seems kind of cool." you said.

"where in new york?" george asks, it seems to be the first thing he's said all night. you direct your attention to him.

"i don't really know... either brooklyn or manhattan. i want to be close to time square though, so somewhere around there." he nodded at the statement and went back to typing. you looked back to ian. "why's it matter?" you ask.

"george here lives there. it's just funny you bring it up." he said and you nodded. funny coincidence you guess.

"and you? do you live around here?" you asked and he chuckled.

"oh god no. sometimes it feels like i do though." he laughed. "no i live in california, i just come down here to film with the boys."

"film?" you ask. he shakes his head.

"you don't know?" he asked a bit surprised. you shake your head this time.

"no... is there something i'm supposed to know?" you asked and he looked a bit relieved.

"ah... no. we just film small things, nothing big. for something.." he searched for the words. "something stupid. recreational i guess. that's all you really need to know about it though." george huffed.

"just tell her, ian. not like we got much more to lose." he says, not looking up from the computer.

"why? she doesn't need to know about the videos in extraneous detail." he said turning to face george. george shook his head.

"whatever you say." he looks up to me this time. "don't go thinking we're insane when you find them eventually." he jokes.

"i'm not sure if i should be scared or concerned at this point." you say, smiling. ian shakes his head smiling as well.

"trust me, you're good with what you know right now." he said yawning. "alright i'm thinking it's about time i hit the hay."

"really? it's not even 10 yet." max says somewhat whining.

"cunt, you alone tire me out. nighty night." he said getting up. before walking away he turns to you. "it was nice meeting you." he said and you nod your head in agreement.

"you too." you say as he turns away to go to bed. katt gets up as well.

"i think i should too. i've got to be up pretty early for work tomorrow." she yawns then turns to you. "you're okay with sharing a room with george, right?" she asks. you nod.

"of course." you say. she smiles.

"good. goodnight guys." she announces then walks away. max follows her as well, saying goodnight on his way out. you're left with just you and george.
