the love we're hoping for is dying

Chapter Twelve - Hide and Seek

Ophelia's PoV

"Hey Guys! Today Jake and I are both heading over to the sidemen house and we're gonna film some videos for everyone's channels! I haven't seen them all since we moved down to London, which was about 3 weeks ago, so I think this visit is pretty necessary if you ask me." I spoke to my camera as if it was another person.

Jakes head popped round my door and chuckled at the sight of me stood talking to a camera.

"Speaking of Jake, here he is! Say hi Jake" I swivelled the camera around to face Jake.

"Hey Guys. Phe the Uber's here we gotta go" Jake spoke smiling at the camera.

"To the sidemen house we go!" I shouted excitedly at the camera grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

"Jesus Phe you're like an excitable puppy" Jake rolls his eyes at me.

"Did you guys hear what he just called me?!" I laughed at the camera. Jake took notice and laughed along quietly too.

I finally pocketed my camera and jumped in the Uber.

———

"Come on Jake! Stop taking so long" I rolled my eyes at Js slowness.

"Phe would you slow down. I can only walk so fast you know" Jake complained at me.

"Ugh, fine. I'm just excited to see the guys it's almost been a month you know?" I sighed frustrated.

"Yeah I get that, but you know how unfit I am" Jake jokes. I only rolled my eyes playfully at him.

"If it wasn't for the stupid Uber then we would already be there!" I mutter angrily.

"Yeah, well things happen Phe and that Uber just so happened to break down on us today. Just imagine if it had broken down on someone trying to get to the airport or someone who's in labour, something crazy like that" Jake drones on.

"Yeah, Yeah jake I'm not in the mood for your wise words" I muttered.

"Their house is literally there anyway, look!" Jake spoke suddenly.

"Oh, yeah" I laughed lightly.

Jake rolled his eyes softly at me and rang the doorbell.

"Hey Guys! Come in" Si opens the door to Jake and I. He smiled brightly at the two of us and stepped out the way allowing us both to enter.

"Sorry we're late mate, our Uber broke down so we had to walk the rest" Jake says while he gives si one of those weird man, bro whatever hugs.

"It's good man don't worry about it. You're here now anyway" Simon smiles at the two of us.

"HEY GUYS I HAVE ARRIVED" I shouted loudly at the guys who all jumped at the sudden loudness in the room. Jake and I both laughed at their reactions as I zoom in on their faces. I'm sure that will make some great slow motion videos.

"Fucking hell Phe I love you but please don't make my ears bleed" Ethan laughs loudly at my entrance. I giggle in response and hug all the boys.

"So, what we filming today lads?" I ask eagerly, staring them all down.

"Well, we thought that we could film a hide and seek video in 'the sidemen house' because you know who doesn't like a bit of hide and seek?" Vik explains to an eager looking Jake and I.

"Sounds good to me! Jake?"

"Sure, let's do it. I still find this whole YouTube thing kinda weird, but oh well" Jake chuckles oddly.
