Hitch Hiking • WHY DON'T WE [#1]

four

Unfortunately Tayla thought leaving me home alone with the guys was a good idea while she went to pick up Beatrice from the airport. Why? I don't know. But what I do know is that it'll be nice to have another female around, there is way too much testosterone in this house.

We haven't​ even been here a week and the guys had already trashed the living room. A bag of chips layed sprawled out on the floor, empty soda cans were strewn about, along with candy wrappers. Not to mention how loud the guys get when they're playing their video games.

Tayla didn't seem to care, probably because they were enjoying themselves. Tayla had also talked to their manager and worked things out, the guys would be staying here the entirety of their vacation and it is up to my aunt to make sure they don't die or do anything too stupid. Of course she passed that job to me.

The guys' fans called me the band 'mom'. I honestly didn't think they knew I existed but since I've met the guys I've gained a lot more social media followers and people who usually would never talk to me back home started talking to me. That's what bugged me.

"ALRIGHT WHICH ONE OF YOU LARDS PISSED ALL OVER THE TOILET SEAT?" I yell from the downstairs bathroom. Unfortunately not every bedroom had a bathroom so there were only two main ones other than the master.

Guys are so disgusting. I think to myself. First whoever the culprit was didn't bother to raise the lid, second they peed all over the toilet seat, they didn't clean it after, and lastly the toilet isnt flushed.

I marched out of the bathroom and stood in front of the guys crossing my arms in a scolding way in the process. "can't see through you Ansey." Corbyn says using the nickname he had found for me.

"Too bad. Which of you was it?"

"Zach."
"Jonah."
"Zander."

I roll my eyes and look at them all, "whoever it was better go clean the toilet right now. I don't care what my aunt says, this house does have rules and there will be no peeing on toilet lids. We had enough of that when my uncle was around."

Zach stands up and groans, "sorry! It was dark when I peed and I didn't want to wake anyone up."

"That doesn't make any sense, there is a bathroom upstairs near your room."

"Jonah was pooping."

"There's so many unanswered questions but I can't bring myself to ask them. Go clean the toilet." I instruct, Zach does as he's told and I frown at the rest of the band. "you guys are terrible."

I looked over at Jack who was typing and smiling at something on his phone so I pulled out my phone to see what he was doing.

He had posted an Instagram story of me lecturing Zach about the toilet with the caption 'mother Anslie back at it again'.

"Your fans actually call me that. What have y'all started?" I plop down in the chair next to Jack. Of course the guys had become too absorbed into whatever game it was they were playing to pay any attention to me, they even had Zander hooked on it.

I was thankful whenever Beatrice and my aunt arrived.

"ANSLIE LEWIS LOOK AT YOU!" My best friend grins smothering me in a bone crushing hug. She knew all about what was going on in my life recently and thought the whole divorce incident was funny, which admittedly after the embarrassment of it all it was humorous.

"Hi Bea." I return the hug. Now the guys were all up off their asses and ready to greet Beatrice. "you boys have made a mess." Tayla sighs and sets her purse down at the dining table.

"We'll get to cleaning it don't worry, T."

"What yall are on a nickname basis now?" I ask them. They all laugh which I didn't understand what was so funny.

"Anyway," I frown and motion towards Beatrice. "this is Beatrice. She is my friend and doesn't need to be corrupted by your male ways. She has a boyfriend anyway."

Beatrice nods and waves at the guys. "big fan though, you guys are great."

"Aw thanks." Jack smiles and cuts a glare at me, "at least shes nice."

I stick my tongue out at him. "I'm nice it's just when you trash my house I may not seem nice."

Bea laughs and looks at Zach, "yeah I saw the post about Zach peeing everywhere. Yikes."

Zach laughs. "I'm not disgusting all the time okay I just forgot."

"I fear the day you get married." I shake my head and lead Bea up to my room. Unfortunately there wasn't a couch or anything fancy in here but we did have an air mattress somewhere.

"So the guys have hogged all the rooms so you're stuck with me, we can alternate on the bed and air mattress if you want." I offer. She nods and places her stuff down.

"Man it feels like it's been forever since I've been here." Bea sits on the bed and sighs dreamily. "those were the days."

"I know." I take a seat in the bean bag on the other side of the room. "So," Beatrice smirks over at me, "what's it like living with those guys?" 

"They're slobs most of the time," I shrug, "who knows though? They could get better. I mean it is only the start of the summer." 

Beatrice nods and lays back on the bed, "I can't believe we're staying with Why Don't We for the next month." She starts to giggle as if all of the fangirling was finally catching up to her. "This is insane!" She continues. Her fangirl session continues for another five minutes before she sits up straight and looks over at me. 

"You good now?"

"I'm good now."
