The Summer That Started It All (feat. BVB)

Family

Krissy's POV

*[The following morning: Between Alyx and I, all we remembered hearing last night was share house because we were still in shock about moving in with the guys. As Alyx and I made our way downstairs, the guy's were letting them selves in with the key I had given to Andy before they left last night. We all met with smiles as Ashley and Jake came in lastly carrying trays and bags of Starbucks coffee and food. We all took a seat in the living room and Jake and Ash passed around the coffee; each cup had someones name on it. Alyx and I both got a mocha cappuccino, and then Ash gave us each a chocolate chip muffin along with a bear claw. We all sat in silence long enough to sip our coffee before I finally broke it.]*

"So Andy... Tell us about this share house. Both Al and I don't remember much from last night..." Andy smirked at me and chuckled. "Okay, so it's a five bedroom, five bathroom share house. It has pool, a hot tub, and a skate park in the back yard... There's also...." before he could even finish, Ayx was up out of her seat yelling over him. "SKATE PARK?!" I joined her. "POOL?!". The guys all chuckled and shook they're heads. Alyx and I turned to each other and began to pinch each other. CC came over and stood between us laughing. "Girls, girls, girls! Your not dreaming!" he replied putting his arms around both of us. Andy cleared his throat and both Al and I sat down at CC's feet staring at Andy waiting for him to continue. "There's also, an 8 car garage, and the basement is rebuilt and they've laid down flooring and installed heaters and lighting. Today, they're installing windows as well. It's two level's in all, not including the basement..." he trailed off looking from Alyx to myself. We both stayed silent, pondering what he had said. "So, we..." Andy motioned from himself to the rest of the guys... "Would love it, if you'd consider rooming with us...". He paused and they all looked at us in silence allowing what as just said to sink in and register for the second time since last night. I got up pulling Alyx with me and we walked into the kitchen.

"Al, if they're as serious about having us go with them as they seem, this could finally mean we don't have to be alone anymore... I mean, with your parents having passed away, and my father running off..." I trailed as she nodded, understanding every word I was saying. "Kris?" she asked looking at me with pleading eyes. "Yes?" I answered back. She nodded her head, and I nodded mine. We walked back out hand in hand and stood before the guys. Al and I both looked from one another before smiling and nodding to the guys. They got up and were cheering as they came over and huddled into a group hug locking us in the middle. Jinxx was the first to pull away and he cleared his throat as he did. "You two never have to be alone again. We're all like one big family." he said with a smile as he flipped his fringe out of his face. All Al and I could do was smile from ear to ear as we were both at a loss from words; not out of shock, but out of sheer happiness... "Family..." Alyx and I said at the same time. We then hugged each other and shed a few tears of happiness before turning back to the guys. "What now?" Alyx asked curiously. "Well, we can either start moving in today... Or, we can go check it out and make any modifications to it that we want..." Andy replied with an excited smile. "Modifications?" Jake asked looking at Andy and raising a curious eyebrow. "Painting." Andy said with a playful punch at Jake. We all agreed on going and checking it out before moving in. The seven of us left the house and I locked the door behind me. Alyx, Jinxx, and Jake went and hopped in his car; Ashley, myself, and CC in his. CC and Andy beeped at each other before heading off down the road. About ten minutes later, Andy's blinker turned on as he pulled into a rather large drive way with a gate blocking the way. From what I was able to see, he pulled up beside a standing box, punched in a code, and the gate quickly slid open. As CC drove his car past the gate, it quickly slid closed. The entire house was gates--no doubt for the guy's safety and privacy. We parked our cars and got out. Both Alyx and I shot excited glances at each other. And turned around so that he could face us and he opened his arms wide. "Welcome to our new home family!" he exclaimed as he dug around in his pocket for a set of keys. We all followed him up to the large double door, he unlocked it and swung it open standing back and ushering us all in. We walked in quietly and wide eyed looking around. Andy closed the door and went around the corner to what I assumed was the living room. He stood in the middle of the room and did a sort of ballerina spin. "Ta-da! And this girls, is the living room." he gestured smiling. "This room is bigger than my entire kitchen and living room combined..." I said looking around me. "You ain't seen nothing yet! Come on!" Andy took off like a little kid with us all trailing behind him to walk into the other room on the opposite side of the house which we all knew was the kitchen. There was a double oven/stove, a dishwasher, a double sink, and a microwave oven. Right smack dab in the middle of the kitchen was a rather large kitchen island with bar stools set u around it. "Seriously? This kitchen is..." I began to say before Alyx finished my sentence. "Huge." she said looking around. Andy smiled and led us past a set of stairs and down a hallway with two doors on either side of it and another set of stairs at the end. He opened the first door on the left. We wall walked in and he looked at Jake, CC, and Jinxx. "This, is one of the three bedrooms you guys can fight over." he said looking from Jake, to CC, to Jinxx. He then showed us the other two bedrooms on the same side of the hallway as the first one. The rooms were identical in size and layout, so there wasn't much to fight over. On the right side of the hallway, were the first two bathrooms. They were again, identical except the first one had a stand up shower along with a Jacuzzi, whereas the other had an old fashioned bath tub as well as a Jacuzzi.
