Dumbass // Nick Mara

-8-

I was finally moving to California to live out my dream of being an actor. And the best part? I lived close to my brother and his band. I had dropped off my stuff at what was going to be my new apartment, now waiting for my brother to pick me up. 

Brandon = B Abigail = Abs

B: hey, I'm outside
Abs: alright

I head downstairs to see my brother waiting in an all white sports car. He smiles over at me and hops out the car. "Hey Abby!" Brandon wraps me in a hug and pulls my head into his chest.

"Hey B." Brandon pulls away and looks at me.

"It's been so long."

"Yea, I know."

"When do you start on your new movie?"

"Uhm in about two months."

"That means you have two months to get to know my bandmates, c'mon." Brandon open my side of the door for me before jogging over to his. We drive for about ten minutes before reaching a three story house.

"Wow... This is yours? It's Huge!"

"Well I mean five guys live here so it has to be big." The door to the house opens and a curly headed boy walks out with a wide smile. He had silver hair and an outfit that I knew only he could pull off. I step out of the car and he wraps me in a hug. I hug back with a  small smile.

"You must be Edwin. Brandon talks a lot about you. Kind heart and loves hugs. I think we'll be good friends."

"Well I hope mami." I smile and laugh at the new nickname that I've already acquired. We all head inside and wow... they're house was amazing. The first thing I see is a long sleek black couch sitting against the wall with two other chairs facing inwards on either side. A short coffee table sits in the middle of the chairs and a long curved flat screen has been planted on the wall.

The kitchen, which was equally as large as the living room, was decorated with a gigantic stainless steal fridge and two separate stoves on either side. The marble counter tops were smooth as if they were just cleaned and the only thing that stands out now is an orange colored smoothie.

"That's Nick's." Brandon says from behind me.

"Who?"

"Nicholas Mara. Another member of the band." Edwin say grabbing it and putting is back into the fridge.

"Ah, so where is everyone else?"

"They are upstairs in the gaming room." Edwin says.

"Fortnite?" Brandon asks.

"Obviously. C'mon, I'll show you." Edwin grabs my hand softly and leads me up two flight of stairs then to an open space where three boys sat. There were windows lining the wall behind the television and they showcased the rest of the boys' neighborhood. All three boys sat on a black leather sofa completely unfazed by our presence. My eyes fall onto the giant television that was currently turned onto a game called Fortnite. 

"Land at Tilted bro." A boy with short brown hair said. He had sharp canines that added to his amazing features. His jawline was sharp as well as his cheekbones. His voice sounded the slightest bit nasally, but cute nonetheless. He glances over at me as his character seems to be floating down and gives a small smile. My legs felt weak. His eyes were an amazing brown and the smirk that lingered on his lips caused me to blush.

"Hell no! I'm trying to get a Victory Royale!" A tall, lanky, light skinned boy says between the two obviously Caucasian boys with a focused face. He as well had prominent features that were... different. One of which being his hair. The root color was a dark brown, almost black, while the tips of the dreads that hung in front of his eyes were a bold blond. His eyebrows were as dark as his roots and the hair that could clearly be seen on his upper lip.
