laela's pov:
i shook my head as a sad attempt of getting rid of the many thoughts going through my head and headed down the stairs.

i reached the bottom right as zion and karsen were walking out the door, his arm over her shoulder.

i walked into the living room and plopped down onto the couch next to austin.

we all started catching up on each other's lives when brandon came rushing from the studio, laptop in hand.

"guys, we have a new completed song!" he cheered.

"which one? better be healthy, that shit's fire." i laughed.

"no, it's 10,000 hours! healthy's still in the works." he chuckled.

"ahh, what! can we hear it?" i asked.

"actually i thought it'd be better to wait 'til z and karsen came back." he explained, sitting down next to charlotte.

i nodded, understanding.

"can someone play music?" fiffany asked.

"i got you," i replied. i turned on my phone and connected it to the surround sound speakers the boys set up.

i pressed shuffle on my spotify playlist and 'with you' by chris brown played.

"i need you boo," i sang.

"no one else will do," brandon continued.

"with every kiss, and every hug," nick belted.

"you make me, fall in love." we all sang together.

the night continued with music and dancing and pizza. it was my turn to order, since we had a system so it was fair.

we continued jamming out when we heard the doorbell ring.

"FOOD!" i yelled, grabbing my wallet out of my bag and taking out the money i needed.

i jogged over to the door as edwin continued singing along to beautiful by bazzi.

i opened the door to be met with zion and karsen's eyes. damnit, i want my pizza.

"oh, what's up?" i asked.

"i forgot my key." zion laughed.

"of course," i rolled my eyes playfully and let them in.

"false alarm!" i yelled to the rest. "it's just zion and karsen."

they all groaned.

"i'm so fucking hungry." nick complained.

"what food are y'all waiting for?" zion asked.

"pizza, what else?" i smiled.

"yikes, have fun getting fat. seems you're already on that path. " karsen mumbled the last part but i heard it loud and clear. so did the rest apparently.

"uh, who the hell do you think you are to say that?" charlotte raised her eyebrow.

"a skinny girl?" karsen laughed.

zion's eyes stayed wide.

the doorbell rang again. i quickly got up from the carpet and put my money in my back pocket.

i blinked the tears back. god, it's been such a long time since i cared about my figure. why am i starting again now?

i opened the door to see the pizza guy.

"hi! order of two large meat lovers pizzas for laela?" he smiled.

"that's me." i said pulling out the payment.

"that'll be $32.79, please." he politely asked.

i handed him $40 and told him to keep the change. we exchanged pizza and money.

"thank you so much!" i called out as he walked away.

i shut the door and walked toward the kitchen.

"pizza's in the kitchen!" i told them.

"i don't want any." karsen said, staring down at her phone.

"and no one asked you." i rolled my eyes and walked away.

"damn girl," alexys whispered to me.

i smiled sarcastically at her and we joined everyone else (- karsen) in feasting.
