Career /// Jack Avery

"Uh.. Jack heyyyy" I say dodging his compliment, setting my camera down on my bed. He walks deeper into my room sitting down on the chair at my vanity.

"Makenna, you're seriously so talented, Aspen didn't tell us you could sing" His voice made my ears sing, I smiled lightly moving my gaze from the floor to his eyes.

"You can call me Kenna or Ken or whatever you'd like, and thank you so much" The words flow from my mouth like vomit. I slowly walk towards him, needing to look in my vanity mirror, I bravely, if I do say so myself, take a seat on his lap before fluffing my curls and puckering my lips in the mirror, checking myself out. He laughs lightly before placing his warm hands on my hips,

"So Kenny, what are your plans for the day? The boys and I have a free day we can take you around if you'd like." I smile as his offer leaves his lips.

"Well I did want to go shopping for new clothes, so yeah I'd love that." I say before standing up and walking towards my closet pulling out a pair of black heeled booties and my small black leather backpack. I put my vlog camera in the bag along with my wallet, lipgloss and phone charger. Jack stands from the chair before leading me out of my room and down the stairs. The boys are in the living room and once I spot them I obnoxiously lay across Zach, Daniel and Corbyn. Jack sits there laughing as the boys sigh as this is a regular thing for me. Jonah walks into the living room with chips in his hand and once he catches sight of me wiggling around on the boys laps and throwing my hands up touching Zach's face all over, he erupts into a fit of very girly giggles. Jack records us and before the video ends the boys push me onto the floor lightly as I dramatically fall screeching in fake pain. The boys got scared for a moment until I laughed loudly before hopping up.

"Boyyyyyssssss" I sang. "I need to go shopping!" I look at all their faces as they change. Corbyn's face shows light fear, Zach just laughs at my stupidity, Jonah looks at me like I'm foreign, and Jack and Daniel look at me like they want to do my shopping for me. I pull my phone from my back pocket and call an uber before grabbing Daniel and Jack's hands and dragging them towards the door.

We arrive at The Grove and the boys energy level spiked incredibly as it would for 5 teenage boys. I pull out my vlog camera saying a quick intro before feeling myself being dragged into stores by the boys.

"Kennyyyyyy" Jack whined behind me as he followed me throughout TopShop carrying my clothes. I rolled my eyes.

"Jackyyyy" I whined back. "You offered to stick with me so suck it up." I finished with a jokingly harsh tone. I winked before turning back to the racks.

I finished in that store a few minutes later, checked out and met the rest of the boys in the TopMan section of the store. Jack grabbed my hand dragging me to racks before rummaging through like some kind of deranged animal.

After about an extra hour or two walking around stores, I bought a new pair of stan smiths and a few other pairs of sneakers and heels. The boys bought a lot of stuff too, Daniel and Jack both getting another pair of Yeezys. We were now sitting at this pizza joint just talking and bonding. Jack was sitting next to me in the booth and we were all just laughing at some stupid joke Zach said. I was interrupted by Jack's hand intertwining with mine under the table. The sudden touch of his hand caused my laugh to squeak, making all the boys look at me quizzically. Ouch this is awkward.

"Uh yeah my laugh is kind of ugly so what." I say hoping the boys would let it go, they did, except Corbyn. His eyes held my gaze for a few seconds, his brows furrowing like he knew something was happening and Jack didn't make it any better either by blushing a Zach shade of red. I broke his gaze before pulling my hand from Jack's.

"Alright, I'm ready to put these bags in my room, are you guys ready? We can hang out at the house if you'd like?" I finish, looking at all the boys waiting for a response.

"Yeah, let's go." Corbyn says meeting my gaze once again with quizzical eyes.

————————————————————————————————----------------------------------------------

We get back to the house, or my house, or whatever. The boys are all out back and I'm up in my room situating myself, putting all my new clothes away. I'm humming lightly to a song I heard on the radio when someone walks in, clearing their throat to get my attention. I stop humming turning around to meet the same gaze that made me question so much.

"Jack." Corbyn said.

"What about him?" I ask slightly scared as to what he's going to say.

"Stay away from him, for your own good." He says as my jaw slightly drops.

"Why?" I ask again, becoming intrigued.

"He's going to hurt you Ken." He says before walking out of my room. I try and brush off what he said as I change into a sports bra and a pair of running shorts, I wipe my makeup off before throwing my hair into its signature messy bun and putting my glasses on my face. I take a deep breath and jog down the steps meeting the idiotic boys that were laughing outside. I join them on the couch outside, sitting on the arm beside Zach. He smiles at me as I join the conversation.

Damn, what the hell did Corbyn mean when he said that?
