"I'm not sure where Jonah is right now, but I'll show you around." Daniel smiled as I followed him.

"This is the kitchen where we.... uh well eat and make cereal." He laughed. 

"Daniel, did you see where I left my air pods?" A younger guy asked walking into the room on his phone. "Oh wow." He said once he looked up seeing me.

"Hi there." I smiled.

"Holy moly." He quietly said walking up to us.

"You must be Zach? The one with the fart pickup line?" I asked. 

"That's me! You're Blakely, oh my god, your voice is insane!" 

"Hopefully a good insane." I laughed.

"Oh definitely." He blushed.

"Oh uh, Daniel's touring me through your guy's beautiful house." I stated.

"I'll go find my air pods later, I'll help you tour her around." He said as he shoved his phone into one of the pockets in his shorts. 

"Alright. Next is the living room...." Daniel began saying.

They then showed me the backyard, where each of their rooms are, the basement, upstairs, bathrooms, and which room is gonna be mine.

"So that's all I think." Daniel said thinking.

"Yeah, I mean it's just your usual house." Zach laughed.

"Usual my butt! Your guy's house is amazing!" I shouted.

"I bet your house is wayyy better." Zach said.

I laughed.

"Nah it's small, but also I live alone so it works out." I laughed.

"Ahh cozy." Zach smiled.

"Zach, just stop talking." Daniel laughed.

"Oh my god, Blakely is here and you didn't tell me?" A curly headed boy said entering the living room.

"Well, you were in your room with the door shut so I just assumed you were sleeping." Daniel said.

"Okay... true but you could've woken me up! Oh hey, I'm Jack by the way." He winked.

"You're the one that likes space...?" I guessed.

Wes told me a little of each of the boys at one of our meetings. I just can't remember which facts go with who.

"Actually that's Corbyn." The curly head laughed.

"The one that likes watermelon then?" I tried again.

"That's me." Daniel laughed.

"Skateboarder?" I tried once more.

"Bingo." Jack laughed.

"I heard my name?" A guy with blonde hair said walking into the room.

"You must be Corbyn, the one who likes space." I said.

"That's me! And you're Blakely, I'm a big fan!" He shook my hand. "Where's Jonah?" He then asked the rest of the guys.

"No idea, but he's definitely missing out." Zach said checking me out.

Shoot I think I left my charger downstairs.

I walked downstairs to go find it... but I found something different.

I found Blakely standing in our living room with all of the guys standing around her talking.

Great.

"Jonah! Look Blakely is here!" Daniel said seeing me.

I walked over to them. I knew if I didn't I would get crap from Tyler and all the guys.

"Hey." Blakely said softly.

"Hi." I simply said. "Have any of you seen my charger?" I asked the guys.

"No." They all said but one.

"Where is it Zach?" I asked sternly.

"Oh uh I dunno." He awkwardly replied.

Okay.

Obviously I know where it is.

I hid it between the couch cushions.

I knew Jonah wouldn't come down from his room when Blakely came over so I hid his charger, knowing he would come look for it. And luckily, it was perfect timing.

"So what should we all do?" I asked and fell onto one of the couches. 

"Uh..." Jonah said confused.

You could tell Jonah didn't want her here or anyone if anything.

After what happened recently, Jonah hasn't been the same. He's never happy, never excited nor can be surprised... I don't think he even gets at least 7 hours of sleep at night. He's such a different person. Well... maybe not, he's still in love with coffee.

Zach is such an idiot.

He knows neither of us want to hangout with each other. It's a mutual feeling.

RINGGG RINNNGGG

"Excuse me." I said and walked to a corner of the room to answer my phone.

"Yes Tyler?" I asked through the phone.

"Blakely is at the house right?" He asked.

I looked over at her. All chatty with the boys and smiling.

"Yup." I rolled my eyes.

"Perfect. Her manager and I want to talk to the two of you. We have to make a contact about the relationship. We'll be there soon." He said and hung up the phone.

Oh yay.
