I'm so excited to see Corbyn again after the longest time! I'm visiting him and his band in LA and I have met them before and I'm friends with them. But considering I'm only 17, Zach's caught my eye. I haven't seen him in forever but we've dm'd on instagram which moved to actual texting which is a big accomplishment with me because of how awkward I can be around boys. I see the plane land as I check my phone when I'm connected back to cell service getting a spam of messages.

I open up and quickly answer the texts as the seatbelt sign turns off. I switch my phone off and grab my backpack and head off the plane.

"CORBYN! ZACH!" I shout as I see them standing by the conveyer belt with my suitcase. I run up to the two familiar boys and give corbyn a big bear hug.
"I missed you so much!" I said engulfed in the hug,
"Not as much as me!" Corbyn says. I smile as I look over to Zach.
"Well look at you, you have gotten taller." I scoff. He breaks out in a smile as he hugs me. He was a little taller than me so my head rested perfectly in the crook of his neck.
"I missed you y/f/I" He says as you blush at the nickname. Corbyn looks at you wiggling his eyebrows and recording it and posting it on his Instagram story after, tagging you both.
"Ready to go home?" Corbyn asks as we let go. I nod my head in exhaustion.

I get tons of dm's when I get home to the boys house. I was gonna stay at the hotel but the boys insisted for me to have a sleepover with them, and knowing them, I couldn't say no to their cute faces.
I walk into the familiar home as I'm greeted by the remaining boys, Daniel, Jack and Jonah arguing over the remote.
"Y/N!" They shout excitedly when they see you. I smile as a run to them and give them a big group hug.
You and the boys agreed to catch up first.
"So yeah, that's what's going on with me? How about you guys?" I smile.
"Well," Daniel says as he started talking,
"Oh, I'll be right back I'm gonna get something to drink." Zach says as he gets up to get something. "Do you want anything?" He asks me.
"No, thanks though." I say as I listen to Daniel.
When Zach leaves the boys stop and all stare at me giddy.
"You know Zach likes you right?" Jack smiles.
"No, he doesn't." I scoff.
"Of course he does, he's been texting you nonstop after you left and honestly his face lights up whenever you do." Jonah adds.
"That doesn't mean anything, we're just friends. Plus HAVE YOU SEE. THE GIRLS HE HANGS OUT WITH." I add.
"Yeah, but it's not the same." Corbyn says.
"Yeah yeah." I say.
Honestly I probably like him back too, but I mean, he wouldn't like me, look at me.

After an evening of fun, that consisted of playing truth or dare, the boys annoying me trying to get me to play fort nite and more, the boys and I decided to change into our pjs and eat some dinner. Zach's been acting more awkward and uncomfortable than usual. Which isn't out of the ordinary but the boys probably caused it so I leave it to be ignored. The boys decided to actually get food for dinner as Zach and I stay home. As I munch on a small snack waiting for the boys I see a bunch of instagram dms from the post from Corbyn. One from a fan account I follow sending me a picture.

fanaccountusername: Hey, Ilysm And I love Zach and I wish I knew him personally and I don't wanna judge him but I wanna say be carful, with boys. I know Zach is prolly a good guy but better to be safe than sorry. No shade to him or you just some info.

I look at it a bit confused but I realize what she means. No wonders he's been acting more uncomfortable. He doesn't like me, and even if he did he would play me, like the other girls. That's all he is? Honestly it makes sense. He probably feels sorry for me.
I don't tear up or anything I'm not emotional I just am silent from him. I don't want him to pity me, that's just messed up. He sits on the couch right by me as I edge a little away from him. I turn on the tv before he opens his mouth.
He looks over at me as I see he looks at me with confusion but instead smiles after. I sigh.
He doesn't need to act like he likes me ya know.
The boys get home as once they do I get up to walk to the kitchen to help get plates for the takeout. I can sense the boys looking at Zach who's shrugging from the side of my eye.
They probably are telling him to stop pitying me. Honestly please though.
