"i know what you're going through." i said quietly. i could almost feel the tears forming before i took a deep breath and blinked them away. when i looked back up at her she just looked at me concerned and confused. i shook my head as i opened the first aid kit.
"you need to clean them before you wrap them." i explained.
"i know." she laughed. referring to her knowledge in the medicine field.
"it was just a moment thing." the followed as i took out the astringent from the mirror cabinet. i dipped a cotton ball into the fluid before gently grabbing megan's wrist and placing the cotton ball into it. she immediately hissed and grabbed my free hand, squeezing it tightly. soon after her wrists were clean, i wrapped it carefully before putting all the supplies.
"i could've done this myself." megan pouted as i held out my hand to help the small girl off the large counter.
"i know. but it was my turn to help you." i smiled as she took my hand before getting ready to jump off the long marble counter, before she was stopped. she returned a smile before we froze.
i'm not sure why but it was just a moment thing. i looked into her eyes as i move closer to the counter, her small hand still in mine. she looked from my eyes to my lips as i did hers. she slightly licked her bottom lip as i inched closer to her, watching her eyelashes flicker as she waited.
"jonah?" a voice boomed from outside the door, along with a loud knock. i cursed under my breath as i backed away from megan.
"yeah?" i said clearly annoyed as megan smiled and kept quiet.
"are you done in there? corbyns making breakfast." zach piped from behind the white door.
"give me a minute zachary." i hissed before hearing him mumble a response. his mumbles were followed by footsteps leading away from the door. i rolled my eyes before gripping megan's hand tighter as she jumped from the counter. she laughed as we exited the bathroom and walked down the hall.
"nice try marais." she whispered, still lightly giggling at my failed attempt to hiss the girl next to me. i chucked it off as we entered the kitchen.
ironically, i didn't feel like laughing at all. i was really hoping to make a small move on megan. but i guess she didn't feel that way. i shook my thoughts away as corbyn handed me a plate of french toast and a smile.
"do we ever eat anything other than pancakes, toast, and eggs for breakfast?" jack complained as corbyn set down his plate as the blonde frowned.
"what do you want? a five star restaurant burrito?" corbyn said, rolling his eyes.
"there's only so much you can have for breakfast jack. i'd like to see you cook breakfast for everyone one of these days." megan said, lightly laughing at corbyns remark along with her own.
"thank you." corbyn huffed before handing megan her plate as well. megan nodded before sitting down next to me. i couldn't help but smile at megan's words. she's right in the fact that by everyone, she includes herself and alex. she is part of our family now. it's weird to think about it honestly. we met her before daniel fainted, then she took his place and sang at the concert, then we all became friends, got into a car crash, and now are closer then ever. who knew this was what our lives would be like.
"jonah?" megan said, snapping her fingers in front of my face as she giggled. i finally snapped into reality and looked to her.
"finally." she smiled, playfully rolling her eyes.
"so what do you want to do today?" zach asked, shoving more french toast into his small mouth, as alex rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. i shrugged my shoulders before taking another small bite of the golden toast in front of me.
"we only have about a week and a half before tour starts again." daniel pointed out. making alex and megan drop their forks as their mouths dropped open.
"what?!" they both yelled, as they looked around.
"why haven't you guys said anything?" megan asked, looking directly at me. i shrugged before giving her a sorrowful look.
"how long is tour?" alex asked zach, before the brunette boy racked his brain for the answer.
"four and a half months." daniel responded, as zach gave up and finished eating.
"four months?!" megan and alex screamed once more in sync, causing everyone to slightly flinch at the two girls. megan looked at me as she pouted, clearly kind of hurt. not by us of course, but by how long we'd be gone.
"sorry girls. it'll go by fast. it always does." corbyn pointed out, jack, daniel, and i soon nodding as we agreed with our fellow band mate. zach looked up, nodding late as he pulled his girlfriend close. there everyone sat, mostly upset at the previous topic, but also thinking about what we could all do before tour.
"we've done like everything there is to do in la." daniel explained, rolling his baby blue eyes in frustration. everyone nodded in agreement as they groaned, getting annoyed with the boredom that flooded the quiet room.
"wanna just go to the beach?" corbyn muffled, his hand holding his chin up. everyone nodded as they went their different ways.
"meet you at manhattan beach in 30." megan whispered as her and alex shuffled out of the house quickly. before i could nod, the door closed behind the two girls. chuckling to myself i quickly ran upstairs and changed.
"finally." zach groaned, playfully rolling his eyes before hugging his girlfriend, who he has waited for for an extra 15 minutes than planned. alex giggled as zach picked her up as the two headed for the water. i smiled at the two as i set my towel down on the warm sand before sitting on top of it. i haven't seen zach this happy in well, ever. megan soon sat next to me on her own towel. she wore the white bathing suit we got one of the first days we met when we were supposed to meet everyone at the beach, but got too caught up in shopping to be there on time. i smiled as i remembered the fun day the two of us shared. the next week would hold much more fun memories. enough to last four and a half long months without her.
