Paper Moon

chapter 48

Halos pov
Kellin has been acting wierd. He won't let me leave his sight. Every since he got a call earlier he's been watching me like a hawk.

"Kellin is everything okay?" I asked causing him to jump. "Huh? Oh, yeah everything's fine. How about, since it's almost bed time, we watch a movie? Yeah let's do that! MOVIE TIME EVERYONE!!" Kellin pulled me to the living room. I was gonna quetion his sudden outburst but couldn't becuase Jack ran into the room screaming.

"Whoooooo MOVIE TIME!" I luaghed at his behaviour. "Lets watch Dumb and Dumber!" Justin said sitting on the floor. "A movie about your life!" Gabe commented. "Ooooo you just got burned!!" Nick yelled. "Shut up because you're the brother in the movie!" Gabe said smacking Nick on the back of the head.

I burst out laughing, "you guys are idiots." Justin looked at me with a mischievous look on his face. "Ha ha, so funny huh halo?" Justin said and he got closer. I covered my mouth and shook my head no.

"No Justin it's not funny" I said and snickered. Justin have me a look that said 'I dare you'. "It's freaking hilarious" I said still luaghing. He scoffed, "your gonna regret that."

"Oh really?" A chorus of 'ooo's filled the room. Justin pretended to walk the other direction before he grabbed me and started to tickle me.

"I'll give you something to luagh about" Justin said as he mercilessly tickled me. "J-justin!" I squirmed to try and get away from him. "Help! A!anyone" I luaghed.

"You look like you're having lots of fun, we wouldn't wanna ruin that for you" Gabe said shrugging. The rest of the guys voiced their agreement. "Sc-screw you" I luaghed. "Well then, I guess I won't be helping you anytime soon" Kellin said.

"This is also for tackling me at the beach" Jusin continue to tickle my sides. "I'm- I'm gon- gonna-" I cut myself off with my own laughter. "Youre gonna what?" Justin asked daringly.

I stopped attempting to cover my sides and rolled away from Justin. I quickly jumped to my feet. "Justin, I'm gonna, fight you" I said taking a second to catch my breath.

I grabbed a pillow and used it as a shield. Justin raised an eyebrow, "is that so little one?" I nodded.

"Or, or we could watch a movie" Jack suggested. I squinted at Justin, "ok, but I'm watching you" I said pointing from me to Justin. I went and took a seat next to Nick so we could watch the movie.

I could feel myself starting to drift off so I got up and started to head to my room to call Jack Barakitty. "Where are you going?" Kellin asked. I held up my phone and smiled.

"I'm going to call Jack, I promised him." I said giving him a smile. Kellin nodded, "wanna do that in the kitchen instead?" He carefully asked. I looked at him confused but nodded anyway. I went into the kitchen.

I sat on the kitchen floor and face-timed Jack. He answered the second I called. "Halo! I love you and miss you but Alex misses you too. Talk to your dad!" He dropped the phone on I'm assuming my dad's lap.

"Hey dad!" I said and smiled. "Where are you? It's dark" was the first thing from his mouth. He looked a bit worried too. "Um, in the kitchen, we were watching a movie then I remembered I needed to call Jack." I turned the camera so he could see the light coming from the TV. The kitchen and living room where separated by half a wall.

The worry left his face, "so all the guys are in the room next to you?" He asked. I nodded, "are you okay? You guys keep acting wierd." Alex looked alarmed for a second before shaking his head no. "Everything's fine, are you okay?" I quickly nodded.

"Are you sure? It seems like you're hiding something." I said starring at him suspiciously. "Everything's fine as long as you're okay.  I'll see you tommorow okay?" I nodded,"okay."
