"we're staying all night, we never slow down, i think we better do it like we're doing it now"- charli xcx

"Guys, you won't believe what just happened!" Charli said walking into the house into the kitchen where her three friends were eating breakfast.

"Wait, that's not the shirt you left here with and you didn't come back last- Charli did you and Corbyn-" Charli cut Emilia off quickly waving her hands.

"No! No, I woke up in Zach's bed." Jessie choked on her on her water.

"What?" The three said in unison, Charli rubbed her head and ran her fingers through her hair roughly.

"And then it gets worse, I walk out of Zach's room to leave just as Corbyn was coming out of his room."

"Oh no, what did he do?" 

"He just looked at me and then he walked past me as if I wasn't there. I just left after that." 

"How'd that even end up happening, Charli?" Leylah asked, Charli sat at the island and pressed a fist against her cheek as she told them about going to visit Corbyn, the girl and then talking with Zach which resulted with her in his bed.

"We were talking I swear and I was upset and he was upset and-"
"Wait, why was Zach upset?" Emilia interuppted ,Charli thought for a moment and then shrugged 

"I don't know, or I don't remember, either way, I can't get the look on Corbyn's face out of my head. I need a shower." Charli got up from her seat and marched her way to the stairs, her friends looking at each other in utter confusion. 

"I don't think I can focus on editing this video now," Leylah said and the other two agreed. Its been so long since anything like this had happened, they weren't sure what to do.

Charli stood in the shower letting to hot water run over her body and she wanted to feel guilty about what happened, so bad she wanted to feel bad for even slightly hurting Corbyn but she couldn't find that feeling at all.

What worried her was the fact this put new things in perspective for her and Zach and she wasn't sure she wanted anything with him. It wasn't that she didn't love him, they had been friends for years, but her heart belonged to someone else and always would.

After Charli had taken her shower and got dressed, she could hear Andy had arrived. His voice carried loudly through the house and she ran downstairs to greet him. He was in the kitchen blabbering about the decor of the house to the rest of the girls who hadn't moved from earlier. Andy's green eyes lit up as he turned around seeing Charli entering the kitchen.

"Oh, Charli! I was just telling the girls about why I specifically picked this house for you all, it was a hard find I can tell you that. Anyway! We got stuff to discuss, we've got interviews coming, radio show talk, and the team is preparing the tour greatly for you."

"When will we be able to see our tour bus?" Leylah asked as she pushed around the straw in her cup. 

"Very soon, we don't want to ruin the surprise! We're planning on having a meeting with the team Saturday so we can go over your act, the choreography, how the meet and greets go, all that stuff, it's going to be a lot of information but you girls can handle anything am I right?" Andy said cheerfully and the girls looked at each other then nodded smiling at him before letting him explain everything.

After Andy left, it was silent between them for a while.

"We've uploaded the challenge and our vlogs. For today, we could go out today, maybe vlog some more?"Emilia suggested and Leylah nodded," Yeah we could, I moved my date with Jack to tomorrow, I think we just need some time together."
