there's a beautiful girl and a handsome guy

•

it was 11:30 pm. zane and phoebe had been talking about everything and anything for most of the evening and night.

silence fell in the room and zane noticed the absence of wit coming from the now-sleeping girl's mouth. realising phoebe's slumber, he draped a blanket over her stationary body.

he sat in an armchair, looking at her for a few seconds before heading out of the house. he thought she was beautiful.

phoebe woke up on a couch, looking at a ceiling that wasn't familiar to her. she experienced about 3 seconds of panic before realising where she was.

she started to worry about Nate not knowing where she was when she suddenly remembered all that had happened yesterday and realised,their relationship was gonna be over in a matter of hours ,so where was the point in trying to please that asshole?

as her mind started to calm down, she sunk into the blanket that zane had put on her the night before. she forgot about all her worries and let sleep take over her mind and body.

a few hours later, she was woken up by scott's voice and a vlog camera being waved in her face.

"so guys, say hi to my new friend phoebe" scott indicated that he wanted her to do something funny for the camera.

all phoebe did in return was release a groggy groan.

"hi camera" she said sleepily.

"wow you're just so entertaining" scotty muttered with a chuckle, before turning his camera off.

"did you sleep well?"

phoebe sat up. "man, your couch is pretty comfortable." she rubbed her eyes and got up. "i should probably head out. i wasn't supposed to stay overnight"

"no no no. I'm making everyone breakfast - ya like pancakes?"

"i-i don't want to intrude"

scotty grabbed hold of her arm "phoebe, listen, it's no problem... really."

"fine" phoebe smiled, finally giving in. "i'm just not that hungry"

"really? i haven't seen you eat the whole time i've known you and i met you," scott glanced at  the clock that was conveniently placed on the nearest wall to where they were standing "... sixteen hours ago."  

"i guess i am a bit hungry"

"i told ya." scott paused, then sort of jumped in an extremely obvious way to indicate that an idea had popped into his head, "hey, i could totally use you for clickbait. NEW MEMBER OF THE VLOG SQUAD?! shall be the title!"

"you call you and your friends the vlog squad?" phoebe laughed and scotty nodded.

"i know it's pretty lame - in my defence i didn't come up with it" scotty put his hands up "anyway just do what you're good at... a model pose"

scotty snapped the photo and it made for some quality clickbait.

i've got long ass acrylics on so it's super hard to type whoops.

sorry, this took a while to write. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to writing so semi-decent chapters don't cut it here folks.
