JAYCEE'S P.O.V

I needed to take time off; everything came at me way too quickly. My eyes couldn't and still can't take in the sight I saw, but I know it was real, and I'm going to have to accept it. l know that Jett and Josh saw, and I can't have them go off telling family. So I would have to talk to them about earlier today as soon as possible. I didn't even know what to say; I can't even bring myself to re-live it. I got out of my room and went downstairs to see the boys racing again on the Xbox, and Calum on the couch, scrolling through his phone. He's still here?

"You're still here?" My lips repeat. His head turns up and smiles as he moves over on the couch.

"Yeah, I thought I'd stay a little longer, and see if you needed help or anything," he said as I sat down beside him, bending my legs to the side and resting my head on his shoulder.

"Calum, it was peer pressure, and I don't know what to do. She just wanted him to accept her and fall for her, but she's not being the true Bri she is," I sigh, shutting my eyes.

"I know baby," he kisses my forhead, "but I did have a talk with Ash; more like a fight though, and he said a bunch of crap... I don't even know at this point," he sighs. "Ash said Bri wasn't just another girl. I know he genuinely cares for her, I could see it in his eyes, but he's never been like this so he just doesn't know how to act."

"I know, but that doesn't give him a reason to shove cigarettes in someone's mouth," I groan in frustration. "I need to give these two a talk though before anything spills," I say standing up, eyeing the boys and changing the subject. pausing the game with a spare controller.

"Okay you two. What you saw earlier today, mom and dad can't know, okay? I need to figure it out, so please, I beg of you to keep your lips locked. Just please forget about this afternoon?" I crouch down and look at them, with pleading eyes.

"What happened this afternoon?" Josh replied. I smiled with relief and rubbed my knuckles against his head, and patted Jett on the shoulder.

"Thank you. I mean it." I say, a smile growing on my lips.

"But can you do me a favour?"

Of course; always a catch with him. "Get out of the way. Im first place and need to keep my streak," Josh raised his eyebrows and I scoffed and walked away back to the couch with Calum. His arm wrapped around my waist as I layed my down on his shoulder. I needed a distraction from all this.

"Hey, can we go out tonight? Like to a restaurant or the movies, please? I need something else on my mind," I sigh, and start yawning.

"Yeah, yeah of course. How about both? We can be the typical cliché couple; for one night?" He smiled, immediately making me repeat his actions.

"Sounds good; as long as you're there."

"You're so needy."

I glare at him, and he purses his lips. "Sorry," he mumbled, attempting at a straight face, but he can't help but smile and giggle.

"Why don't you invite Luke and his girlfriend? I've been meaning to call her up and befriend her, but with all this crap going on, i-"

"Alright. I'll message him. What time and where?"

"How about 6 at The Cheesecake Factory? Then we can catch a film around 8 sometime?" I suggest, with pleading eyes.

"Anything for my baby girl," Cal presses his soft supple lips on my forehead, another time, as he messages Luke, inviting along Lex. It's about 2 o'clock at the moment, so I leave to go upstairs for a hot shower. The hot water cascading down my body releases the tension built on my muscles, definitely giving me a feeling of relaxation. As I step out of the shower, I grab the towel to wrap around my body, and it ends just above my knee. With my hair damp, I blowdry it, and once it is almost dry, I straighten it like usual.
