Jack Avery's POV
Ashley was very supportive of me and her brother's relationship; I've honestly never seen a sister that adored her older brother as much as she did.
"I'm glad he found someone who doesn't just use him. He's always been quite fussy and closed off when it comes to his love life... Clearly, it works considering he's ended up with you," Ashley smiles, adding mascara on my already dark and long eyelashes.
I refused to put anything on my face. The last time foundation touched my skin, I literally broke out really bad... Maybe it's because of those certain ingredients but I'm not taking any chances this time.
"Heh, I'm surprised Corbyn is actually into me... I mean, he's so hot and dreamy. Overall, he isn't just a stupid Secondary School jock." Me and Ashley have just been sitting on Corbyn's bed gossiping about everything and nothing.
After applying lip gloss, she stands up and takes something out of her bag - straighteners! Immediate alarm bells start ringing.
"No way! I'll look like some blonde emo ripoff!" I shout, laughing. She starts giggling along with me, I've never had a friend who's been so feminine as her.
It was a nice change from the usual like Zach and Jonah. If those two tried putting mascara on me, I would literally have black spots everywhere. The aftermath would be pure chaos.
A beep comes from my pocket, I pull my phone out and my smile drops. Zach had posted on his Instagram a picture of Daniel and him kissing while on holiday boat.
The caption was: 'Out on private cruise with this cutie, never met someone so reliable as him. He's the best thing I've ever had happen to me, no one compares to him x'
My heart starts pounding and my face drains of colour, that was our thing. We used to post pictures of us doing cute things together with a caption that'd be evidence to how important we are to one another.
Ashley puts the straighteners down and looks at my screen, her smile fades as well when she sees how much it seemingly effected me.
"Ex?" She asks in a gentle tone, sitting down next to me. It was strange how she didn't seem to recognize Daniel but I didn't really think too much about it. Just because Corbyn knows Daniel's family, doesn't mean everyone does.
"He's my best friend... Or at least, was. I don't think we are anymore..." I reply flatly, turning my screen off without liking it unlike I'd normally do. It was always race to like each other's post before anyone else.
"Oh, that's even worse..." She mumbles, looping an arm around my shoulder and embracing me in a careful hug. I lean into the hug, allowing her to run her fingers through my curls soothingly.
"Guys, hurry up!" I hear Corbyn yell, banging constantly on the door causing both me and Ashley to jump and laugh. "We'll be there in a minute!" I respond, thoughts of Zach already leaving my mind.
We aren't who we used to be anymore.

We were now sitting in the backseat on Saskia's car. Ashley was sitting in the passenger seat while me and Corbyn sat in the back.
He had a reassuring hold on my hand, he could probably sense the nervousness flowing off me in thick waves. I was extremely anxious, I hadn't even introduced Corbyn to my parents yet here I am already meeting all of his.
"They're going to love you! Don't be so nervous, Jack!" Saskia says from the front seat, now turning down the radio after 'Story Of My Life' by One Direction comes to an end.
"Haha, I hope so." I answer sending her a sweet smile, I was bouncing my knee in a need to move. I was containing so much stress, I was beginning to fear my curls would drop out. Apparently to this family, my curls made me look adorable and innocent.
In my opinion, they were just cool. That's about it really, I guess.
Ashley had convinced me to put in an effort so we decided on a pair of ripped black jeans, which took being too tight to a whole new level, and one of Corbyn's white shirts that gradually descends into a light blue. It's not a exactly over the top because I didn't want to come across as a try hard.
Along with that, the jeans themselves made my small waist and bum look stunning. I would've went for a size up that fell down my hips slightly but these were nice. They were actually Ashley's, I refused to wear one of her belly tops so that didn't happen. Thankfully.
I also had a faint layer of strawberry lip gloss on and mascara.
When we pull up outside a casual dressing restaurant, my heart starts speeding. I was so nervous, I could practically feel the sickness creep up my throat. I felt like I was going to completely throw up.
While entering the restaurant, Corbyn grips me head soothingly and sends me a charming smile. Two men were waiting for us at a table, both sent me a questioning look until noticing me and Corbyn's hands.
"Dad, Jordan... This is my boyfriend, Jack. He'll be joining us for dinner," Corbyn introduces, leading to me a seat beside him and Ashley.
Ashley sends me a welcoming smile as Jordan scans me over. His face doesn't tell me how he's feeling, it's just blank.
On the other hand, Corbyn's dad was grinning from ear to ear. "It's nice to meet you, boy! It's about time Corbyn found someone," He says, chuckling slightly as Corbyn pretends to make a gasping noise.
"It's nice to meet you too, Sir." I found it quite ironic to be calling my teacher's dad sir as well.
The dinner went smoothly I'd say. After awhile, Jordan gave into the whole protective brother persona and we spent most of the dinner chatting about good games that's in stock right now.
The four of us (me, Corbyn, Jordan and Ashley) went back to Corbyn's house to hang out. We took loads of pictures, had loads of fun and I actually decided on annoying Zach by posting a picture of Ashley pecking my cheek while Jordan pointed the camera at us in a selfie position.
In the picture, the three of us were laughing while the TV played Fortnite in the background with random junk food spread out on the table.
The caption was: 'These two nutters are actually crazy, I love them so much xD'
