One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter Twenty-Seven.

I quickly got up and walked to the door. I opened it to see a redheaded girl that was about my height.

"Oh, hello." I said and she smiled at me.

"Hi... Kylie told me to give this to you. I-I'm her new roommate, Sandra." she said and my eyes widened slightly. She handed me my English textbook and I smiled.

"Uh, thanks... Sandra." I said and felt Jack walk up behind me. 

"Jack?" Sandra asked and I looked down at my textbook. Playing with the worn out edges.

"Hey." Jack said and I looked up to Sandra smiling at Jack. "How've you been?"

"Good... how about you?" she asked him.

"Just fine." he said and I sighed.

"It was great meeting you, Sandra." I said and she looked back at me.

"Oh, yeah. You too." she said and I slowly closed the door. I walked back into the living room and set my book down on the table.

"That wasn't very nice. She was just being neighborly."

"I didn't say anything. I just thought you might like to-"

"She's a lot prettier than she was the last time I saw her." Jack said and I sighed quietly. 

"I'm glad." I said and laid down on the couch. I got on my phone and started scrolling through my Twitter feed. Wow... Joey Graceffa really did tweet at Lauren.

"I honestly thought she stopped going he-"

"Jack. I don't care about Sandra." I said and sat up. He looked at me and I looked at him.

"Of course... yeah. Sorry." he said and I sighed. I reached for the TV remote, but Jack beat me to it and sat it down next to him. He pulled me closer to him and I kept staring into his eyes. He licked his lower lip and I kissed him softly. He kissed me back, rubbing his thumb across my cheek. I tugged on the collar of his shirt and he quickly took it off. He looked down at me and in one quick motion, my shirt was off, too.

Lauren's POV

"Yeah! Sounds great. Okay... alright... talk to you later! Bye." I ended my phone call and squealed. The passenger door of my car flew open, and soon Ricky was sitting next to me. "Oh, hey." I smiled.

"Why are you so happy?" he asked me, smiling too.

"Because I'm a YouTuber." I said and he pouted. "What?"

"I thought you were going to be happy because I was here." he said and I rolled my eyes. I kissed his cheek and started my car. 

"Why would I be happy about that?" I asked him and he poked my side. I squealed and glared at him. I drove down the street and I could feel Ricky staring at me. "What?"

"Nothing." he said and looked out the window. I stopped at a red light and poked his shoulder. He looked at me. "What?"

"You wanna go do something?" I asked him and he smiled at me.

"Like what?" he asked.

"Well, I need to go visit my brother at the hospital... we could stop by there and then go out somewhere." I said and Ricky nodded. 

"Sounds good to me." he said and kissed my cheek.

Ali's POV

I heard a knock on the door and quickly sat up. I quickly grabbed my shirt off the floor and pulled it over my head. I walked to the door and opened it slowly.
