I wake up to a very familiar chuckle. “Yo, shut up, Zach.” I snuggle more into my pillow, which is weirdly hard. “Why is my pillow hard? Did you put a boulder in it or something?” He laughs even more and my pillow moves.

“Autumn, you’re lying down on my chest.” My eyes snaps open and I shoot up.

“I’m sorry! You weren’t able to move because of me!” I panic.

“No, it’s okay. You might wanna check Twitter though.” He smirks.

I glare at him. “What did you do?”

“You’ll see.” He stands up. “I’ll be downstairs making pizza.”

I roll my eyes at him and divert my attention to my phone. Sure enough there were a lot of notifications. I check Zach’s account first since he was obviously the one who did all these.

My eyes bulged out when I saw his tweet.

@Graser10: You posted a picture of me sleeping, it’s time for me to get you back! @TwinTwo [Insert photo URL here lol]

Linked was a photo of me sleeping on his chest. No wonder everyone’s freaking out. He knows I hate it when they ask about Grautumn. I never really knew why. I feel like Zach only flirts with me because of the ship and not because he like likes me. He’s probably only friends with me for the fans to be happy, you know. I hate it. I hate ships.

Oh wow, my mood suddenly dropped. I sighed. I’m going crazy.

“Autumn?” Zach calls. “You okay?”

“Uh, yeah! Be down in a sec!” I shout back. I changed to more comfy clothes since I was still in my outside outfits. I grabbed black sweatpants and just kept my tank top on. I also tied my annoying hair into a high ponytail. I ran down the stairs and saw Zach sitting on the couch eating homemade pizza.

“Hey, eat with me.” He says with his mouth full.

“Are you sure you didn’t poison it?” I look at him seriously, sitting down.

He laughs, hard. “Would I be eating it if it was poisoned?”

"Yes.” I giggle. “You wouldn’t give up pizza for the world.” I got a piece and sat down in an indian position.

There were a few seconds of comfortable silence when Zach spoke. “Can you believe we’re finally meeting them in a week?”

“I’m so excited, Zach. It’s gonna be so much fun!”

“Guys are gonna swarm around you, I know it.”

“No, I’m pretty sure all your fangirls will ask you to marry them or kiss them or something.” I shrug. Just the thought of it makes me feel jealous.

“I’d say no anyways.” He looks at me. “No need to be jealous.”

“Who told you I’m jealous?” I raise my eyebrows up at him.

“You sound and act like it. I would be jealous too.” He smirks.

“W-what?” I blush and look down.

“You’re so cute when you’re flustered.” He says. I look up to face him and our faces are suddenly so close. He looks at me in the eyes and leans forward.

I gulp. I feel myself getting closer and my eyes start fluttering close. I can already feel his breath on my face. Almost there.

“Open the goddamn door!” Somebody shouts, banging on the door.

I jump away and Zach runs his hand through his hair, groaning. I stood up and unlocked the door to see Summer on the other side. “Thanks.” She says.

Damn it, Summer. It was so close.

Zach glares at her and she shot me a confused look. I frown at her too, you ruined the moment! I sighed. “Later.” I mouth to her. “So…” I say.

Zach clears his throat. “I think I should go. See you guys.” He stands up and leaves right away, slamming the door behind him.

“What happened?” Summer asks.

“You happened, man. We were about to, uh, you know…”

“What?” She’s so confused right now.

“Figure it out yourself. I’m just gonna record something.” I rush up the stairs and decided on what song I should sing. It’s gonna be my first video with my face.

I put my kimono on from earlier, just to look a bit better and then set up my camera and all. I practiced first and memorized everything I needed. I then press the record button.

“Hey you guys! I’m doing this with my face today since Summer and I did a face reveal live stream a few hours ago. You can watch that on my gaming channel, TwinTwo. Today, I’ll be singing Bubbly by Colbie Caillat.” I say.

I started the intro on the guitar then sang.

“I’ve been awake for a while now. You got me feeling like a child now. 'Cause everytime I see your bubbly face, I get the tingles in a silly place. It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose. Wherever it goes, I always know that you make me smile, please stay for a while now. Just take your time wherever you go.”

I finished the song and ended the video with an outro.

“Thanks for watching and see you at PAX, if you’re going. Bye!” I smiled.

 For some reason the song reminded me of Zach... He was gonna kiss me. Okay, that’s it. After PAX, I’m telling him how I feel. If he somehow doesn’t feel the same way, then I should stop falling deeper.
