third person pov
it's been about a month (sorry lmao i'm impatient) since elle and dahlia left the hospital, and a lot has changed. because they were all graduating in a few months and a few of them were already 18, the kids had all convinced their parents to allow them all to move into one huge house down the street from austin and elle's old house. elle & grace & dahlia started an extremely successful youtube channel, while the guys struggled to find one last person to complete their new boyband called PRETTYMUCH. they became very recognized by social media sites, and they are now known as a group to the public. as for everything else, everyone is awaiting dahlia's birthday which is in exactly one week.

dahlia's pov
"thank you so much for watching, lovelies!! i'll see you guys next friday!" i blew kisses and covered my camera before smiling and turning it off. a knock echoed through my room shortly before grace walked in.
"ima go to chipotle, you want anything?" she asked, smiling.
"actually, can i come with you? i'm tryna leave honestly i've been here all day."
"kk, leaving in 5" she said, walking back to her room. i got up and changed into a striped unif shirt with black dickies and black high tops. i tamed my wild mess of curls and grabbed my glasses which were, unfortunately, IDENTICAL to brandon's. ever since i went to the optometrist a few weeks ago, i guess i have to wear them now. ugh. i knocked on grace's door and was greeted by a pearly white smile and jet black hair. we walked downstairs to see edwin and brandon screaming at each other while playing an intense game of mario cart.
"it's not my fault you picked a shitty map, EGGWIN!" brandon yelled.
"WELL MY BAD, I LIKE PEACH BEACH OKAY!" edwin retorted. we laughed at them and zion walked by, kissing grace's forehead before we walked out the door.
"so how's it going with zion, g?" i asked, wiggling my eyebrows flirtatiously. she giggled, gripping the steering wheel.
"we've been good, honestly. it's crazy to think that it was almost a year ago when i met him. dahl, i've never felt this way about anyone before." she said truthfully. i 'awed' at her, smiling.
"anyways, how's austin?" she asked, excitedly. i giggled.
"i mean, i've never been happier in my life. i was so sad before him, he changed everything." i said, looking down and smiling
"oh my god that's so cute." grace yelled. i zoned out for a second while she was talking.
"sorry, what were you saying?" i asked, a shade of light red dancing upon my cheeks in embarrassment.
"what do you want from chipotle?" she asked. i gave her my order before sitting at a table and waiting while she went to the register when my phone started blowing up.

i was scrolling through my timeline when i felt someone tap my shoulder.
"excuse me, are you dahlia rhodes?" a girl with long blonde hair asked.
"yeah, what's up?" i asked, smiling.
"oh i'm cynthia, i hit you up awhile ago on the gram but you must've not seen it. i dig your channel, that shit's fire." she said. i think she might've been the most chill girl i've ever met. i laughed.
"oh my bad, girl! you're so pretty, jesus christ." i said, looking at her.
"thanks hun, much love. anyways, i'm doing my own youtube channel right now, but i've kind of been struggling. do you h-" she was cut off by grace walking back to our table.
"hey, d. who's this?" she asked, flashing a smile.
"grace, this is cynthia. actually, i was just talking to her about her solo youtube channel and how we should -" grace stopped me and grabbed a pen from her bag. she quickly scribbled down her number onto cynthia's hand, yanking my arm.
"it was nice to meet you, we've gotta go. that's my number, text me and we'll talk more!" she said quickly as we walked out the door. i ripped my arm out of grace's grip.
"girl, what was that for? you completely blew her off." i said, a bit annoyed.
"trust me, you don't wanna trust her. i know things about that girl, lia. i happen to know she's super into austin. you really want her to join our group?" she asked. i sighed and shook my head.
"austin can do whatever he wants. i'm totally okay with it. whatever he decides to do and who he decides to date is out of my control, im over it. i think she could be nice, can we at least give her a chance g?" i pleaded. she held a straight face for a moment before nodding and smiling.
"BUT don't forget we need to text elle and ask first." i agreed and we drove back. i twisted the key through the locks and opened the door to see all the boys in the pool in the backyard. grace and i smiled at each other, giggling quietly. we walked upstairs and saw elle's door was slightly open. she was editing her video for wednesday when we interrupted her. austin and brandon jumped out, walking through the door with water dripping everywhere. i laughed and sat on the couch.
"i hope you guys know you're definitely cleaning up your mess." i said, laughing and shaking my head. brandon laughed and grabbed a towel while austin stood there, trying not to make it obvious that he was staring at me.
"you okay, porter?" i asked. he nodded and walked away. i got up and went to the kitchen to see brandon grabbing snacks from the pantry.
"b, is austin doing okay?" i asked. he shrugged.
"i think so. he's been happy-ish, but he's alright." brandon said. the rest of the guys started coming in and we all sat on the couch.
"let's throw a party." i said eagerly.
"i'm down" said zion. the rest of the boys agreed. i smirked, and laughed.
"alright then. zi and grace, invite everyone and tell them we have a pool. austin and brandon, go get snacks and foods. edwin, you and elle are in charge of alcohol. i'll stay here and clean." i said laughing.
"i'll help, i have nothing better to do." nick said laughing. everyone nodded and walked away.
austin's pov
dahlia's eyes lit up when she talked. her smile was so beautiful. jesus christ, im so in love with her.
"baby, i feel like we haven't talked all day!" i yelled, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind and hugging her as my head rested on her shoulders. she smiled and turned around.
"i'm sorry, i've been busy i guess. i promise, we'll have more time together tonight." she winked stupidly and i laughed at her. she kissed me shortly and everyone walked away and started doing their jobs, leaving me with brandon.
"so, snacks! you're good with snacks, let's go to the store?" he asked.
"yeah, lets gooooooo." i laughed. he nodded and we walked out to the car. i was sitting in the passengers seat when i was scrolling through instagram and noticed a new chick on my timeline.

zion's pov
"would it be weird if we invited charlotte?" i asked. grace made a weird face and shrugged.
"i don't know, but this is dumb. screw invitations, let's just say open pad. byob right?" she asked.
"c'mon, what kinda question? obviously." i said. we laughed and sat on the couch watching black mirror (fav !!) when i turned to grace and met her eyes. i stared at her for a moment before she became confused.
"what's wrong, baby? you okay?" she asked, pausing the show.
"i just can't get over how beautiful you are, grace." i said, smiling. she blushed and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"awe, z."
"i haven't asked yet, so i'll ask now. would you please come on an official unofficial date with me?" i said, being dumb and goofy. she laughed and grabbed my hand.
"i'd love to." she said, leaning in and kissing me sweetly.
dahlia's pov
"i think we finally finished. wow, for a new guy, you sure keep up with cleaning better than anyone else!" i said laughing as nick wiped the sweat off his forehead. he laughed and we sat at the edge of my bed.
"so tell me about yourself. how do you guys do things around here?" he asked, intrigued.
"well, for starters, we're super tight, we all have the same dry humor, we get into lots of arguments, there's some couples in the subcategories of our main mini groups, but i'll explain that after." i said, widening my eyes and realizing how crazy our group was. he chuckled.
"so there's chaos and couples. what about you, pretty girl? are you in a relationship?" he flirted. i blushed and laughed.
"i'm with austin, elle's with brandon, and grace is with zion. it looks like your open spot is with edwin." i said, laughing my ass off. he laughed along as we began bonding and taking about where he grew up and how he got here. my phone buzzed and i grabbed it, pushing my glasses up.
cyn🖤🌈 : hi sis !! heard you're having a party, cool if i cruise early ? sorry, nothing better to do lmao
i laughed, quickly responding.
me: ofc girlie, come whenever && we have a new roomie to introduce you to hehe
cyn🖤🌈: cool beans, cya in 10
"who's that?" nick asked.
"oh, this is cynthia, possibly our new co owner for the youtube channel." i said, pulling up a picture of her.
"damn, she baaaad." he said, scratching the back of his neck and stretching. i giggled.
"oooh, new crush?"
"nah, too soon." he said. i looked at the clock and read the time. 4:33, damn. i realized i had hella time to kill, so i decided to get ready extra early. nick and i went downstairs when the doorbell rang and i ran to see cynthia patiently waiting behind the door.
"what's good, lia." she said, smiling lightly. i greeted her in and grabbed the other girls as we all ran upstairs to get ready for the party.
we were all so excited, but we had no idea how much we were getting ourselves into that night.
