Karen's POV

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in my bed. I must have fallen asleep last night. I looked down at my phone. I had dozens of text messages from all my friends.

Me,Jacky & the baby love you.

Jackybear♡》
Im trying not to worry but you're making it difficult please answer ASAP

I sighed. It was midnight. Everyone was probably sleeping. I got up and changed into sweats and a sweatshirt. I turned on the lamp on my nightstand. I crouched down and pulled a small box from under the bed.
I opened it and took out the bracelet. The bracelet I had given all of our group of friends. I traced the initials with my finger.
Maybe moving back here was a mistake

The Next Day

I woke up, startled as I heard someone twist the doorknob. I looked around and noticed I had fallen asleep again but this time on the floor. I looked at my hand and saw the purple bracelet. I heard a knock on the door.
"Karen?" I heard Zach ask softly.
"One moment please" i replied before quickly hiding the bracelet and the box under my bed.
I ran over to my closet and changed into my leggings and my University of Chicago tshirt.
I opened the door. Immediately,  he wrapped his arms around me.
"Karen i thought you were hurting yourself again."
"Zach, Im okay. Im not going to repeat my past."
"Thank god you're okay" He said , letting go of me.
He was the only one that knew about my real past because he was the only one I trusted.
"Do you want to go shopping?"
"But aren't girls going to recognize you? What would they think when they see me with you"
"So? You're my best friend and I have the right to show you off." He replied,smiling.
"How do you not have a girlfriend yet? You're the youngest one but you are the most matured and sweet one" I stated as I slipped on my black converse.
He shrugged.
"Are you ready to do some shopping gurrrlll?" He asked, in a fake girl voice.
I nodded and laughed. I havent been to the mall in ages.  In Chicago, my roommates would go party and I would stay at home to study. I never left my room unless I was running errands or buying lunch. I rarely went shopping because I was too busy with all the stress. We left the house, which was empty. Apparently, Zach had already requested for an Uber so it was waiting outside. We climbed in and sat down.
"Why are you taking me shopping again?"
"Because you need to distract yourself from Jonah and from everything. You've been here for a couple of days and youre already a mess." He teased
I nodded, agreeing. Minutes later, We arrived at the Beverly Center, which is a huge mall near Beverly Hills. Zach put his shades on and helped me out. We walked inside and headed to H&M because Zach showed me a tweet of Justin Bieber who had released new merch there.  We looked around and finally found it. We both devided to get Black Matching Long Sleeve Ones. He gave me his phone and I looked at him confused. He put on a fur coat and walked around the store like a model. I laughed and started recording him for his insta story. We continued walking around the mall, fooling around. Im suprised we didnt get kicked out. Eventually, we grew tired and decided to go home.
"Oh God whats in this bags?" He complained.
"Your clothes."
"Oh Right"
"Oh my God!Are you Zach Herron??" We heard a girl scream behind us as we waited for our Uber. Zach turned around and smiled.
"Thats me"
I put my phone away since Zach and I were taking selfies on twitter before the girl arrived.
She turned to me.
"Can you please take a picture of us?"
"Sure" I snapped a picture and then they started having a conversation. I stepped aside and sipped on the water bottle Zach had bought me.
"So are you guys dating?"
I spit out the water and burst out  laughing.
Zach joined a few moments later and the fan looked so confused.
"Im sorry" Zach told the fan when we finished laughing.
"Um.."
"This is Karen. She's my best friend and we are definitely not dating. She's not my type."
"Hey" I whined, playfully slapping his shoulder. He laughed and shrugged.
"Im so sorry I laughed in your face. That was incredibly rude. Here let me buy you something to drink to make it up to you."
"Aw you're so sweet. I would love to have a drink with both of you."
We walked toward Coffee Bean for coffee.
We all ordered Vanilla Ice Blended and waited for our order. I made sure Zach had cancelled our Uber because i didnt want them to charge him for waiting.
As soon as we got our drinks, We all sat down at a table and began chatting.
"So how long have you like Why Dont We?"
"For four years now" she said smiling.
"Wow that's what i call a loyal fan" I replied.
"Yes I am! But ive never been to any of their shows or met them before"
"Wow. I remember when I was like you. I used to be a fan well I still am but back when we didnt know each other, I was like you. I didnt go to any of their concerts or meet & greets but one day i finally did and look at me now. Im best friends with Mr.Zachary Herron"
Zach nodded,agreeing.
"Thank You"
"Anytime"
The girl looked at her phone.
"Oh no I have to go. Im so sorry. I wish I could hang out with you guys but I have to get to work."
"Its totally fine."
"Hey do you think I could take a picture with you?"
"Um Im a mess but sure"
We took a selfie and she thanked me again before leaving.
"Wow"
"And you say im the famous one" Zach teased as we got up and left Coffee Bean. As we walked outside we heard a camera flashed.
Oh no..
It was paparazzi.

I was really bored so i decided to show off they're frienship a little. I know it's a crappy chapter but it will get better.
This week has been amazing because on wednesday i got 'invited' by Jonah and yesterday they liked my tweet from their main account. And i know i didnt get a big follow or message or anything but it meant a lot to me.
