Two Months N.M

t h r e e

Devon Devereaux

I quietly closed the door and walked down the wooden steps and across the street to where the boys were.

"Hey," I said as I hopped on to the top of the bench next to Jai. I sighed as I sat down.

"What's wrong?" Jai whispered in my ear as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Nothing," I shook my head and looked at him.

He sighed, "Baby, you can't lie to me." He whispered to me.

"Not your baby," I playfully rolled my eyes causing me to smile.

"What's wrong?" He whispered again.

"Nothing," I shook my head again.

He sighed. "Reese tell you about LA?"

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, "How do you know?"

"He told us when you left a little bit ago," he said. He sighed again, "Its a good idea, Dev'."

"No, it's not," I shook my head.

"Give me a reason why it isn't a good idea?" Jai asked.

"Sage and Cole." I said. "Reese." Jai sighed. "You know how Reese is when he gets drunk. Who is gonna watch Sage while Cole is out and Reese is working, she hasn't even started kindergarten yet. Cole, what if he starts getting into drugs and alcohol more than he already is and starts to become how Reese was." I said my eyes getting slightly glossy.

"They are gonna be fine, this isn't college, this is a trip away from all of this," he gestured to around us, "for awhile. To see Nash and Hayes," Jai said. "You will be back, this isn't years away, this is a few months." He looked at the boys, "And me and the boys can help with Sage and Cole."

"You should go," Tucker spoke up.

I looked at all the boys and I didn't realize that they were listening and stopped their own conversation.

I sighed, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I can't go."

"No," Josh said. "You can go, you want to go, it's just that your choosing not to."

"Dev', just go." Mikey said. "We got it here."

I sighed and got up off the bench. "Fine, I'll go tell Ree'." I said.

"Good," Jai nods and smiles.

I sigh again and head back across the street. I walk up the crappy wooden steps to the crappy wooden door.

I walk in and shut the door quietly to not wake Sage. I walk over to the couch and sit down next to Reese. "Tell me more about this trip." I sigh.

Nash Grier

"Nash, can you get me a beer!" Sam shouted as I started to walk out back.

"Yeah!" I shout back as I grab a new one from the table outside then walked through the gate to get to the pool. "Here," I say holding the beer out for him.

"Thanks." He said while opening it.

"Aye, yo so are we having that party Thursday?" Dillon asked.

"Yeah," Johnson answered.

"Nash," Hayes said as he walked out of the house.

"Yeah?" I asked turning to him.

"Devon is flying out Thursday." He said.

"Wait, really?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah," Hayes nods. "G, J you two still okay with our friend staying here for awhile?"

"Yeah," JJ said.

"Of course." Gilinsky said.

Hayes sat down next to me and started to type away on his phone.

Can't believe she is actually coming out here.
