30. Yomp

Jeremy and Reece were disgusting. They were ruining my game of battleship. Luke couldn't focus for shit. He kept looking over at them. They weren't even doing anything. Just watching Frozen and trying not to look at each other too long.

Disgusting.

Of course I could just be bitter because I keep getting messages on twitter and instagram about how Ashton would be happier with Halsey and how I wasn't even close to his social range and that I was clearly only dating him to get more famous. The crazy part is that I don't want to be famous, I just want to be with Ashton.

"Zoe, it's your turn." Luke said. I snapped my gaze from the TV and back to battleship. He was surprisingly good at this. 9/10 times it was a hit.

"I don't know, H-8?" I asked, "Like how I feel about this game right now?" He crunched his nose at me and shook his head.

"Miss, G-9?" He asked. I frowned at him.

"Fuckin sunk. You win." I said. I thought about flipping the box but the pegs tend to run away and I didn't want to have to look for them for the rest of my life. I stood up and decided to walk to the kitchen for food.

The fridge was empty. This is what happens when your siblings come to your house and invite people as well. I shook my head and started back to the living groom before my phone rang.

"Hell-o," I answered the phone before I even looked at who it was.

"Zoe!" Ashton called back, "Hi! I love you!" He sounded funny.

"Wait, what?" I asked, "Are you okay?" I heard a few male voices loudly calling in the background.

"I'm great. I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I want you to live in LA in my house, probably. Okay I love you bye." The line went dead and I was left as confused as I was when that started. He was clearly inhibited in some way. I didn't really care what was causing the inebriation I thought that was the cutest thing that has ever happened to me.

By the time I got my pink face chilled out the living room had one sleeping Luke, one blushing Reece, one laughing Jeremy, and two cuddling gay boys. I decided to skip out and go on to bed.

After I had showered and gotten dressed for bed I decided to send a text to Ashton.

You called me like an hour ago, I'm sure you're very drunk. Just be sure to drink some water lmao

I got in my bed and cuddled up to the blankets. It had been an eventful day. I met a ton of beautiful male models, which I took pictures with to make Ashton jealous. Reece got a new boyfriend even though she isn't gonna call him that until months later. And my dear Jo-Jo finally found a boy to his taste. Life was good.

The next day started with Reece waking me up and telling me that we were all gonna watch a new video that was put up on Lorelei's YouTube.

"It has Calum in it and Luke ordered sandwiches so we could have a small viewing party." She said rolling her eyes. I stood up and walked down the two whole flights of stairs to my living room.

"Welcome to the party." Luke said from the floor where he was trying to hook something to my television. As I sat down I noticed Alex was still here. I also noticed that Jeremy was not.

"When do the sandwiches get here?" I asked. Luke sighed as he flopped onto the couch next to me. He shrugged and pressed a few buttons on his phone. The video flashed up on the screen.

"HURRY UP." He yelled into the kitchen where Jonas and Reece were making themselves drinks.

Her intro was....not bad? I mean she had a cute font and a fun little photo set of screen caps of past videos with nice music playing behind it. It did a soft fade into the actual video.
