Real Life - Sequel To GroupChat

IX

Echo's POV

"So not to be mean or anything, it's great to see you, but what exactly are you doing here?" Daniel asks after we all take a seat on the couch.

"Oh ya know, just gonna plant my alien eggs in your backyard." I deadpan. They all look at each other then at me with worried expressions.

"I'm joking." I ease and they all visibly relax.

"Good, cause I don't want no little slimy alien babys running around in my backyard." Jack chimes and I gasp.

"Are you saying I wouldn't have cute alien children?" I ask mockingly offended.

"Yes- well no- I just- I give up." He throws his hands over his head and leans back on the couch, his head over the side.

"That's what I thought." I laugh. "Now! Where are the chips?" They all give me a weird look and I give them one back.

"What?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

"You just make yourself right at home, don't you?" Daniel asks. I give them a goofy smile and nod my head.

"You best believe I do. Now, how about those chips?" They all shake there head and Zach stands up.

"I'll go get them for you. Does anyone else want anything?" He asks the group.

"Yeah, can you get me some water?" Jonah politely asks him with a smile. Zach gives one back and covers his mouth with the palm of his hand; is he trying not to laugh?

"S-sure." He giggles. He exits the room and I turn to look at the others. They all shrug and I clap my hands.

"Okay, now we need a movie or show. Either or is fine with me." I smile.

"Okay, will do." Corbyn says and grabs the remote turning on the T.V and going onto Netflix. "Okay what do you want to watch exactly?"

"Mm," I hum, taping my chin with my index finger. "Oh, I got it! Stranger Things!"

"Sounds thrilling." I hear from behind me. I turn around and see Zach walking over to us.

He hands me a large bag of dill pickle chips and places a glass full of ice on the coffee table infront of Jonah. We all give him a weird look but he just sits down and smirks.

"Wait." He says and I throw my head back in laughter clenching my stomach.

"You- I- wow." I say while trying to catch my breath which only leads to me to me having a coughing fit.

"Are you okay?" Jonah asks rubbing my back as I regain my breath and the coughing stops.

"Am I ever?" He gives me a side eye and raises his eyebrow at me. "Yes, I'm fine Jo, now Stranger Things?"

Corbyn clicks play on the first episode and I open my chips, immediately putting one in my mouth. I turn my body around so that my legs are on Jonah's lap and my back is propped against the arm of the couch with a throw pillow behind me. I lay the chips on my stomach so I can get to the easily and smile; finally everything is right again, if only I knew of the storm that was going to come crashing through the front door.
