corbyn and i have gotten really close recently whilst he was helping me prepare to "flirt". he's like an older brother to me and i'm so thankful for him

"corbyn!" i yelled

"WHAT" he yelled back

"what do i wear"

"mmmmm. let me think let me think. AHA" he yelled pushing past me into my closet

"good choice. the closet. where the clothes are. dumbass"

"rUDE" he yelled throwing a bra at me

"WOAH MAN"

"what? u need to go shave. u know just in case-" i cut him off sO FAST

"OK WE GET IT BYe" i went into my bathroom and ran the shower

"LARA CAN I COME IN" he yelled

"yeah sure"

he has a girlfriend and i like jack, so it's not weird. we're best friends, besides zach. and lindsay

after i got ready i went to a restaurant with zach so he could teach me how to keep up a good conversation because the boys thought he was apparently the best at talking to girls. it's obviously jonah but i was fine with underage boy

"ok, so what will you talk about?" he asked

"uhhhh"

"see that's not very fun. you need to keep a good conversation up or else he'll get bored. talk about like the olympics or sports. he likes that"

"ok yeah but i don't even know the names of teams" i said

"true. hmmm. OH! you can talk about tour! we're leaving on thursday so ask him-" i cut him off immediately

"excuse me what" i said

"i said we're leaving for tour  did he not- tell you?" he asked looking confused and simpathetic

"no. he didn't. i guess that's why he wanted to hang tonight." i sighed feeling my eyes get watery

"lara don't stress about it. i'm sure there's a reason he's not telling you. it's probably hard for him" he said wiping the tears that kept slipping out

"hard for him? he's going on tour for months with 4 awesome boys, living his dream. he gets to meet people that he makes so happy every single day. he gets to be with you guys, having fun. what's better than that?" i said

"it's a lot harder than it looks lara. it's so much work, barely any sleep. lots of shows and fans to meet. we love it but it's not all fun and games" he said rubbing my cheek

"i'll ask him why tonight. that's what i'll talk about. thanks zach" i smiled a little and he smiled laughing a little bit hugging me

"so what can i get you handsome" a girl who looked about my age asked while biting a pen looking at zach

her shirt was clearly very tight, and her cleavage was cLEARLY OUT, but like whatever

"uh i'll have the grilled cheese" he said uncomfortably

"i'll have the-" i was cut off

"that's all?" she asked smirking at him

"i'll have a coke too please" he said looking at me trying not to laugh

"k what do u need" she said annoyed

"i'll have the same" i said smiling

"you busy after 3? that's when my shift ends" she said sliding zach a piece of paper which i hoped was only a phone number

"actually, i'm not. me and my girlfriend have plans. sorry sister" he said grabbing my hands and giving me a look that i understood as 'please go along with this she's scary and i'm uncomfortable i stg i will punch you with my plate if you don't go along' so i went along as one would

"yeah. sorry sis" i smiled

"you're not dating. you're too hot for her" she said growling

"really? watch then"

scuse me?
