It's been a few hours since Jack arrived and I think doing well so far. The guys are getting on with him, I think we're onto a winner with this guy.

We're all in the bedroom, Jack had just gone with Blair somewhere, and that was when the guys asked what we though it him.

"I think he's alright... Bit shy but..."

"We'll soon get that out of him."

"Yes you will..." The guys just laugh.

It's true though these 4 are morons as you know.. They could make the shyest person become confident.

"I don't know if it's just me or this trial feels different... I mean... It's not like with Brad, Sam, Cam, Kason or Riley..."

"Except Cam they got pretty close to him."

The memories... A time before Brook and Mikey. I can't actually imagine what it would be like without them two... Yeah even Brook. Annoying as he is..

"Yeah... I think it's because us four are a close unit now, we've had a longer time to know each other. Where as like back a year ago we were still finding ourselves and it was just me and Rye."

"God... It's only been a year and half.." I look at Rye who looked like he was reminiscing. "That's mental." Andy just nodded in agreement.

"And I think because we're physically here watching it play out... As before we were watching it through a computer screen."

"Yeah.." Liv nods in agreement at Laura's comment. "I can't actually imagine it without Brook and Mikey..."

"I know..."

"Aww you guys..." Mikey and Brook got up and had a moment with Andy and Rye.

"Shut up Mikey... You're a corner."

"What? I didn't say anything." He looks round completely confused.

"Oh... I get it..." Rye smiles and Mikey just looks at us completely oblivious. "What are you on about?"

So I show him the video. "Ohh... Okay."

"Yeah..." I slowly nod as he now got what I was on about. "Jack you're a corner."

"Alright." He's just like 'okay cool.' There will come a point where he stops gong with the flow and ends up saying some sassy comment back.

It will. I can see it happening.

"I wanna sing a song. Liv hit me with a song. Press shuffle first song.."

"Er... Alright..." She got her phone out and the first song that came on Girls Talk Boys 5 Seconds of Summer. "Yes!"

"When the girls talk! When the girls talk boys!"

And they're off... One by one we all got roped into singing, it was fun.

"That gave me an idea.. I'm gonna do that song thing.." No one had clue what I was talking about. "You know when you press shuffle. First song that comes on is our song..."

"Oh right okay.."

"Right... Let's go alphabetical order..."

"So Andy's first..." Brook mocks. "Shut up Brook..."

Here's what came up:

Andy: Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean?

Brooklyn

Emphasis on his name because I can't mention it without internally wanting to throw up.. I'm such a nice person...

Danni: Two Door Cinema Club - Ordinary

#Awkward. If you hear the song you'll understand why...

Laura: All Time Low - Break Your Little Heart

Mikey: We Are The In Crowd - Manners #AwkwardAgain Song. Listen. You'll understand..

Rye: Twenty One Pilots - Lane Boy

(Genuine songs which came up when I pressed shuffle each time. I recommend them all. 👍)

"Yours and Jack's song though.."

"Hey Jack.." I wink at him and I couldn't have made him feel more awkward. Lolz. I can't believe I just said lolz...

"Do break up song..."

This should be fun...

Andy: Fall Out Boy - Rat a Tat

Brook: All Time Low - So Long, And Thanks For The Booze.

Laura: Jimmy Eat World - Dizzy

Liv: Nothing But Thieves - Six Billion

Mikey: Busted - On What You're On. Seriously this is getting ridiculous...

Rye: 5SOS - Everything I Didn't Say

"Well that wasn't at all weird.. I'm gonna make some tea. Anyone want one?"

We all put our hand up. "Really?"

"I'll help." I get up and went into the kitchen with her. "That song thing wasn't at all awkward..."

"I know... Like literally every song that came up for Mikey was like relatable... In a bad way..."

"I bet it was..." I nod. "You don't still have feelings for him right?"

You couldn't have been more blunt could you Liv?

"I.. I.. I dont know.." I slightly stammer, looking at the floor mentally slapping myself.

"Oh Harri..."

"Of course I still have feelings for him. They're not just gonna go are they? Nothing is gonna solve that..."

"I know that..  It's just..." I quickly cut in before she goes further. "I love Andy okay? Nothing's gonna change that. That guy means everything to me. Yeah, I still have feelings for Mikey but I love Andy more.. Okay?"

"Okay..." she holds her hands up. As if to say 'I'll say no more about it.'

"Good... Now can we make these brews?"

"Mancunian mums be like."

"You wanna brew?" We both shout at the same time, before laughing our heads off. "Hurry up will you?"

"Shut up Rye!"

"Rude!"
