"It's Only In Harmony Hollow" Or Is It?

Chapter 5

(Graser's P.O.V)

OTTAWA, CANADA

4:31 A.M.

I'm so tired...

It's four in the morning, as you guys know, and I'm recording a video with Will. Close to the end of the recording and I hear a beep...

Is that Will's phone?

Will keeps talking, so I guess he didn't notice...

I'll tell him when we're done.

I snap out of my thoughts and started randomly singing. Just to annoy Will, of course. He starts to complain about it, but I just kept singing. Will finally said his outro and I stopped singing; then said goodbye.

"Finally, that took forever." I groaned.

"Oh by the way, Will, you got a message. I heard the notification during the recording." I continued.

I hear shuffling in the background. He must be getting his phone, so I waited a few more seconds.

"This was sent to me twelve minutes ago, Graser. Why didn't you tell me?" He spoke up.

"I don't know"

He became silent again, but I heard him typing in the background.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's just Shelby..."

Isn't it one in L.A?

"Oh ok. What's she saying?"

"She just wants to talk about something." he responded.

I thought of nothing else to say, so I just hummed backed. It's been about five minutes and Will is still silent.

"Is everything ok Will? You have been very quiet." I worriedly asked.

"It's nothing." He quickly replied.

"Ok?"

What's going on? Why did Will suddenly act different?  Is Shelby alright?

"Hey Graser, I have to go, I'm going to meet up with someone. I'll talk to you later." Will said after two silent minutes.

"Ok, see ya." I try to say casually.

After leaving Minecraft and TeamSpeak, I got up from my chair and stretched. I turn around and face planted onto my bed.

There's something Will isn't telling me.

Two Weeks Later

CALIFORNIA

Late Morning

We're on our way to Vid-con! When I mean 'We', I mean Will, Shelby and I. Will is at the back while me and Shelby in the front seat. It's great to see these two again and also it's the first time they meet each other IRL.

I haven't asked Will about what happened two weeks ago, but I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'm going overboard on this and Will was telling the truth, but it's not wrong to ask.

"Graser." Shelby said, snapping me back to reality.

"Yeah?" I questioned, looking at her.

"Will." she stated. I turned around and looked at Will.

"I've called you seven times." he plainly said, glaring at me.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought."

"Figures. Anyway, can you give me the AUX cord."

I grabbed my phone and removed the cord. Then gave it to Will.

"Thanks." he smiled and plugged it into his phone.

I turned back to Shelby and noticed that she looked nervous. She doesn't have a proper grip on the steering wheel and it makes me worried. I reached out and placed my hand on hers. She stiffened but her eyes are still on the road.

"Shelby... Are you alright?" I questioned softly.

"Uh, y-yeah. Why do you ask?" she quickly looked at me then turn back to the road.

"Well, you seem nervous."

"I'm not nervous, Za- Graser, don't worry." she softened and smiled at me.

She's adorable

"Ok." I smiled back, my hand still holding hers.

"Ahem..." Will 'coughed'.

I let go of Shelby's hand and looked forward, slightly blushing. I glimpsed at Shelby again and noticed that she was also blushing. Looking at the rear mirror, I see Will smiling like a weirdo.

'I hate you' I mouthed, glaring at him.

"Less than three, dude." he smirked.

And I thought Liam would be the death of me.
