Aubrey's POV:

"Eth? What the hell are you doing here?" I laughed, hugging him.

He hugged me back.

"You really thought I was letting my baby brother and my best friend leave to LA without me?" He asked me in doubt.

"So, you're joining the road trip?" I asked playfully.

"Yep!" He poked my nose.

"This is great!" This is awful.

"Yeah.. wonderful," Gray put on a fake smile.

We both know Eth likes me. A lot. And we both know that he likes me. A lot.

But only I know that I like both of them. A lot..

"Well, how about that pizza, eh?" I joked.

Ethan scratched the back of his neck nervously. "We, uh- we don't actually work here.." he chuckled.

Just then, Jack stepped out...

And when I thought this couldn't get any worse.

I love them all to death, but.. they all actually are in love with me.

Me and Grayson aren't even dating, but we've kissed a million times! Ethan and I never dated, and we kissed once and he took such good care of me that time back in junior year. Jack and I have never had much of a romantic moment, but he's always there for me and held me when I was weak and vulnerable.

And now I'm going to be living with all of them?!

"Jack! Hey!" I hugged him as I felt Grayson's eyes burning holes into the back of my head. Or, rather, Jack's head.

"Hey. You didn't think I was gonna let you two do this alone, did ya?" He punched Gray's shoulder lightly.

"Ha, of course not! It's so great to have you guys here," he lied, smiling at them.

"So.. are you guys riding with us, or..?"

"Uh- if you don't mind? We kind of, um.. took a bus? But you know.. best friends?" Jack reached out for a hug. We all did a mini group hug, which, by the way, was hell for me.

"Well, then.. let's get going! Right after we get some freaking pizza," I winked.

-

"Alright, I found a cheap one, two beds.. um... how is this gonna work?" He scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, shit. I didn't think of that," I said.

"We can alternate?" Jack suggested.

"Alternate what? Who gets to sleep with Grayson?" Ethan joked.

"Let's not?" He sarcastically smiled, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Dumbass, I meant who gets to sleep with Bri.. in a.. non-perverted way."

"That definitely puts my mind at ease.. thanks, Ethan," I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. It's about a half hour away.. should we try it?" He asked mostly to Gray.
