Bre's POV

    "What do I wEAR?" I yell through the hotel room and all the other girls rush over to me and start going through my bag.
     "This one or this one." They say, finally picking.

     They all look at each other before nodding. "The first one." I run into the bathroom and change. Normally I hated skirts but oh well.
     I walked out and playfully twirled around,  laughing. I heard a knock on the door and my eyes widened "I-" Ella shut me up and pushed me over to the door.
     I opened it and smiled, seeing Zach standing there. He smiled back. It was awkward. Very awkward.
"Uh-" I start talking and hear Morgan sigh before shoving me out the door and closing it. "Sheesh." He smiles a little bit.
We walk to the elevator and his eyes widen. I laugh slightly and he scowls at me and I try to contain my laughter.
"Would you rather take the stairs?" I ask, laughing again. He sighs, before shaking his head. I step in and he just stands there.
I roll my eyes before grabbing his hand and pulling him in, him mumbling something about 'I hate elevators' under his breath.
We were on the top floor. Floor 9. Which means it we had to be in the elevator for quite a while. And Zach hyperventilating was hilarious. I know that sounds mean, but oh well. It was.
The elevator dings signaling we were at the lobby and it was at that moment I realize I still had ahold of his hand.
     I instantly drop it and my cheeks flush red. I sigh as we walk outside and I walk to my car. I give it a hug. "I'm so sorry." I whisper and then get in the passengers seat.
Zach holds his hands out for the keys and I sigh as I put them in his hand. "Crash my car and you're dead, Zachary."
He rolls his eyes at me as he puts the key in the ignition and turns it. "I'd never crash your car." He says and I nod.
"Mhm." I say sarcastically and he rolls his eyes at me again. "If you keep rolling your eyes they're gonna get stuck like that." I tease and he looks at me and rolls his eyes again and I laugh. He puts the car in drive and I sigh, sticking my hand out where the door should be and pat the blue car.
"It's okay. He's not gonna crash you. Hopefully." He pulls out of the parking lot and I grab the aux and plug it into my phone.
I scroll through my Why Dont We album thinking about which song to play. I settle on Hooked and turn it on and Zach laughs before looking at me.
"Eyes on the road!" I yell before covering my eyes but immediately uncover them when the song starts.
      I immediately start singing but stops when it gets to Zach's part. "Are you sleeping with an octopus?" His eyebrows raise and his eyes flicker to me before back to the road.
     "Am I sleeping with an octopus?" He asks and I nod. I roll my eyes at him.
     "Because you sing 'Everybody says that I'm sleeping with the enemy.' And in the Hooked music video, the octopus is the enemy. So are you sleeping with an octopus? Because if so, that's called beastiality and Zach I'm worried."
     He shakes his head, keeping his eyes on the road. "I'm not sleeping with an octopus."
    "Then who are you sleeping with? Spill the tea, sis." I say and he shakes his head again. Before mumbling something I didn't hear. "Speak up, Zachary."
     "I'm not sleeping with anyone, Breanna." I debate telling him not to call me that, but in the end I just let it go. It wasn't that bad.
    He realizes I've been quiet for a little while and looks at me for a second before looking back at the road. "Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?" He asks me and I look at him.
    "No one calls me that anymore. It's weird." I say shrugging. He looks at me for a second again before smiling.

Ella's POV
Right after Morgan shoves Bre out the door

"Now we don't know what happens until she gets home." I say and smile but Emma shakes her head, grabbing her computer.
She types something and then the inside of Bre's car pops up. "Bingo. This is a live cam from the radio that I was able to hack into."
     We all look at her and she shrugs. There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I say, standing up abd walking to the door. When I open it, four boys are standing there. The Why Dont We boys. I open the door wider and let them in.
     "We were just about to spy on Zach and Bre." Mackenzie says and they all raise their eyebrows and walk over to where Emma's computer is and their eyes widen as Bre and Zach get into the car.
     Zach holds his hands out for the keys and Bre sighs before putting them in his hand. "Crash my car and you're dead, Zachary." He rolls his eyes at her and I take in a deep breath.
    You don't just simply roll your eyes at Bre and live to tell the tale. The other three realized that too. All our eyes were wide as we watched the screen. "I'd never crash your car."
      All the boys laugh but the other girls and I were just sitting there, terrified, waiting for her to blow up for rolling his eyes at her.
     But she doesn't. She just says "mhm." And he rolls his eyes at her again and to our surprise, she laughed.
     "Keep rolling your eyes at me and they're gonna get stuck like that." She said and Zach looked at her and rolled his eyes at her again.
     Zach puts the car in drive and she pats the outside of her car since the doors were taken off. "It's okay, he's not gonna crash you. Hopefully." She mumbles the last part and we all laugh.
She grabs the aux and plugs it into her phone, playing Hooked. He laughs and looks at her. "Eyes on the road!"
This is when things got weird. "Are you sleeping with an octopus?" Bre asked and all of us looked at each other.
Zach looks at her and raises his eyebrows. "Am I sleeping with an octopus?" He asks again and she sighs.
"Because you sing 'Everybody says that I'm sleeping with the enemy.' And in the Hooked music video, the octopus is the enemy. So are you sleeping with an octopus? Because if so, that's called beastiality and Zach I'm worried."
"I'm not sleeping with an octopus."
