Swimming in Stars | Byron Langley

four

The next afternoon after I woke up, I left my room and saw Joe pulling a jacket on his body.

"Good morning Lex," He joked.

"Hey," I said with a yawn.

"Byron and I are going to film something with Caspar." He said. "Do you want to come?"

"And spend the day with Byron?" I laughed. "No thanks."

"You guys are eventually going to have to be nice to each other." Joe said. "You're going to be living with each other a long time."

"He's a prick." I said. "I'm not nice to prick's."

"He's only a prick because you act like a bitch." He said, "And you tried to stab him."

"That part was not my fault, that falls back on your for not telling me."

"You're ridiculous Lex," He said.

"No," I shook my head, "You just think it's funny."

"You guys both freaked out pretty hard." He shrugged. "Plus looking at you with that knife was really cute."

He messed up my hair.

"Joseph Sugg, you'll be next." I said. "This time I'll actually use the knife."

"Right," He laughed and walked past me.

I turned, crossing my arms and huffed. Byron walked from his room and smirked at me.

"What are you going to do while we're gone? Hang out with all your invisible friends?"

"I'm not twelve." I scowled.

"You look twelve," He smiled and walked over to the hall closet behind me.

He pulled out a coat, pushing his arms through. He stared at me while he did so.

"You ready to go?" Joe asked Byron.

"Always," Byron smiled as he continued to look at me.

"I'm inviting Josh over." I said to Joe without breaking eye contact with Byron.

"Alright," Joe said, "Behave."

"Yeah, behave Alexis." Byron said.

They walked out of the flat and I groaned in anger. I hurried to my room and unlocked my phone. It was still opened on instagram. I saw that thirteen people had followed me. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I clicked on the heart and saw that Caspar, Josh, Jack, Conor and Mikey had followed me. The other eight people were fan pages for the guys.

I followed all the guys back, excluding Byron. That jerk didn't deserve it. I texted Josh through dm, inviting him over. He agreed, saying he'd pick up pizza. I smiled, pleased with myself. I walked over to my closet and searched for something nicer to wear instead of the sweatpants and baggy shirt I was wearing.

I pulled out a sundress and dropped it on my bed. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, along with washing my hair. I went back into my room and changed into the dress. I brushed through my hair and looked at the full length mirror I had.

I heard loud knock on the front door. I smiled and took a deep breath before walking out. I pulled the door open and saw Josh smiling while holding a pizza box. I let him in and shut the door.

"Where are Joe and Byron?"

"They left," I said, "And I wanted company."

"Oh," He said with a smile.

"I'm starving," I said ad grabbed the pizza.

Josh and I had spent the afternoon watching TV and fucking around. We got to know a lot about each other and he was a really nice guy. Currently I had my legs draped over his lap, his hand resting on them. We were watching a criminal minds episode. It was about six – thirty which meant that Byron and Joe had been gone most of the day. So when I heard the door open, I wasn't too surprised.
