changes are weird, huh?

"So that means that Ma-" she began to say as Mason's phone rang, interrupting her. She saw an incoming facetime from "jirafe cunt", who she and Ryan assumed was Cameron's name. 

They looked at each other, laughing at Mason spelling 'giraffe' incorrectly. They decided not to answer, but to instead go shopping.

Lillie changed into ripped mom jeans and a pink cropped "clickbait" hoodie, pairing the two with white Yeezy's Mason had bought for her from GOAT, grabbing her phone from her room as well before they left. Ryan got an Uber to a nearby mall as Lillie put her hair into a bun, ignoring all of the boys' calls (under Ryan's command, as "payback for Mason being an idiot, again).

After a couple hours of shopping, the two returned to the apartment to see Lillie's car returned to her parking space, which prompted them to knock on the door rather than climb the stairs again. 

Mason immediately opened the door with a scared look, which immediately turned confused upon seeing Ryan and Lillie laughing with shopping bags in their arms. Eric immediately burst into laughter, he and Cameron knowing exactly what had happened.

"Great, he infected her." Cameron said as he stood up to greet Lillie. As he stood, she was taken aback by his height, but also thinking he was quite attractive, especially with the added height.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Cameron, Fitz," he smiled, taking the bags from Lillie's tired arms, giving her a rest. "Nice to meet you as well," she replied. "Mason's mom, according to the lad himself," she laughed as she let her hair down.

"Oh what a coinkydink! Cam's my dad!" Mason exclaimed. Cameron and Lillie exchanged glances as she let her hair down, the two laughing at Mason's remark. "Well I reckon I'll go sort my laundry," she said as she picked her bags up, heading to her room. 

"I've gonna unpack, I'll be back," Cameron stated as he followed Lillie to her room, carrying his luggage with him. As the two started to work in silence, Lillie began to speak up.

"So Ryan tells me you guys are wanting to get a house together?" She asked, breaking the silence. "Yeah, well the boys are. I'm getting a separate place. I don't like living with people," he admits. 

"Same here. I'd usually live alone, but Mason and I planned to move in together years ago. Plus the cunt can't go three minutes alone without doing something stupid," she said, causing the two to laugh.

"Yeah, I mean I guess a lot will change once Mason leaves. I'll have to move places, though. I can't afford this place alone, so I reckon I'll have to move back to Geelong unless I can find a new roommate, but I don't really want one," she laughed awkwardly, beginning to get lost in thought as she turned away from Cameron.

Cameron's POV-

"I reckon I'll have to move back to Geelong unless I can find a new roommate, but I really don't want one..." Lillie sadly admitted as she turned from Cameron. "Why did Ryan only tell her WE were looking for houses? Why not the girls as well? He didn't mention the girls' house at all?" he thought to himself as Lillie played music while they cleaned.

After they finished, the both of them walked back into the living room, where the other boys were chatting about god knows what. After deciding to go to a park, Cameron pulled Ryan aside to talk before they left. "What's up?" asked Ryan.

"You didn't tell her about the girls? Or about Mason?" Cameron asked in disbelief. "She seemed so sad talking about Mason leaving, why wouldn't you tell her?" He continued. "Relax, Mason's got a plan. He wants to ask after she meets the girls because apparently she's more antisocial than Toby," Ryan admits. As Cameron gets brought up to speed with the plan, the group heads to a nearby park.

Lillie's POV-

After arriving at the park, the 5 hiked up a large hill, smoking and getting to know each other as the night passed. Throughout the entire day, something stirred in Lillie, tough unable to understand what was wrong, she shrugged off the feeling. Rather than ignoring how she felt, it only weighed heavier as the night went on.

Eventually, she left to walk alone, clearing her mind with the fresh air and stars above her. Walking down the hill a bit further, she lie on the grass, watching the night sky above her. Suddenly, Ryan's words struck her.

"Actually, we're looking for a house for the boys as well."

Mason was leaving, and she didn't know what to do.
