Default Title - Write Your Own

Those were quickly knocked out of my head as the doorbell rang loudly, making me jump slightly. Brian and Jimmy chuckled at my reaction to which I furrowed my eyebrows and slouched. Neither me, Jimmy or Brian got up for a while, always looking at one another, waiting for someone to get up and answer the door. But none of us did.

"Fine, I'll get the door!" Zacky sighed as he came in from the other room and went toward the front door. Within seconds I heard the door open and a chorus of hi's and hello's, before footsteps of people walking in.

"See you cleared out the spare room for Ana then?" I heard Matt say and in that instant, Jimmy popped his head over the boxes again.

"YEAH THEN BUILT A FORT FROM THE EMPTY BOXES!" Jimmy yelled like an over excited toddler, making Brian and I snigger.

"The fuck?" I heard Matt say before his head popped over the edge of the box so he could now see Brian and I. "The hell's going on in there?" Matt chuckled, getting everyone's attention. There was a clamour of footsteps then 5 more heads with Matt's looking over the edge of the boxes, all with the same expression of 'what the hell?' I saw one girl's expression change when she saw me though – Michelle.

"So the rumours are true?" She hissed, raising an eyebrow at me. I just furrowed m eyebrows and narrowed my eyes at her, unsure of what to say. "I'm just kidding!" She exclaimed, seeing my expression as her face changed from what had seemed like disgust to over whelming joy.

Before I even knew what was going on, Michelle had crawled through the gap in the boxes to join Brian, Jimmy and I, (which was easy for her as she was so petite) and launched herself at me. She hugged me tight and I cautiously held her back gently, shocked by her sudden change.

"I can't believe it's really you!" She squealed and held me by my shoulders.

I chuckled slightly and so did Brian. "Yeah, it's definitely her." He added in. Michelle suddenly spun round to face him.

"Oh hey Brian." She half-whispered with a devious smile, and moved slightly toward him which wasn't difficult as the 'fort' was so small. She leant over and kissed his cheek gently then giggled. Brian's expression just looked completely fed up, with a sarcastic smile plastered across his lips which confused me. She sat next to him and I watched her look him up and down. Although it was completely stupid, I felt myself becoming envious, maybe slightly angry at her when she was with him like that.

It was crazy, I quickly managed to snap out of it. They dated for Christ's sake! They're probably just really good friends. They've known each other all these years while I was away! Maybe she's just like that with all the guys and she's overly friendly? Maybe...

"Ana you still with us?" I heard Val laugh as she crawled through the boxes and sat next to me. I didn't even realise I had completely zoned out. Matt was next to attempt to crawl in but he slightly knocked the boxes as he did.

"Hey watch it!" Jimmy yelled and made the boxes neat again. Matt then sat down next to Val and smiled at her.

"There's no chance all of us are fitting in there..." Zacky laughed, shaking his head.

"That's okay, we can make do." Michelle laughed and then without hesitation, propped herself up on Brian's lap, making more room. Brian's arms flung backward, out of her way as he sat freakishly still, seeming quite uncomfortable.

"Um... Okay then." Matt laughed as he readjusted and Val lifted herself onto his lap. Unlike Brian to Michelle, Matt actually had his arms around Valary.

"Come on then Lace." Johnny sighed as him and who I assumed to be his girlfriend Lacey, crawled in, with her sitting delicately on his lap.

I wanted to ignore it. But I could feel Michelle eyes on me. She had her one arm around Brian's shoulders, keeping her up as he still kept his hands slightly behind his back and out of her way. But she just kept staring. I tried to avoid eye contact with her but it was so small in there, any time I glanced up I would catch her evil glare.
