Moving in

Nién

Joe's POV

Today's the day! I slide off my bed and go straight to the bathroom. I do my usual routine of brushing teeth, showering, my vocal warm ups (singing in the shower, with hot water running) then, I change into my clothes while fixing my hair.

It's about 9 now. Vj, Jules, and niko are up already. They're cleaning up the house even though it's pretty much spotless but, I join them. We want the house to look perfect.

Everyone is awake by 11 and I'm sitting on the couch waiting for my family, Ana said they'll be here soon. A second later they barge through the door "HEYY" they all yell, I get up and run towards them, giving them a hug. I tour them around the house and head upstairs to show them the room.

"Hey" Trace says coming out of the shower with just a towel around his waist.

"My family is here" his eyes widen and he tightens the towel, then he runs toward his room.

"Does that.. Happen a lot?" My mom asks, I shrug because it the first time I've seen it happen but we haven't been living here for that long. I lead them towards my room where they look around quickly.

"HEY" I hear one of the guys say, not sure who but I think it's Vj. The Caigoy family travels downstairs to see Patrice there with a few of her and Vj's friends. I remember them from VJHS. I check the time and it's almost 12, the crowd should be rolling in soon.

"You guys go have fun. I'm gonna fix up my room and hair" they nod and I head upstairs and I take a seat on my head, just thinking about how the day will come. It's obvious that people will ask us to sing but, I hope the day will turn out great.

"HEYY" I hear from downstairs, I go down curious of who it is and nonetheless it's the girls next-door. I glance at each of them, stopping when I see Erin. Whoa just.

Whoa

She looks.. I don't even know how to describe it. Gorgeous of course but, I'm mesmerized. Her hair is straightened and her outfit is on point. I feel a tug on my back pulling me out of my trance. "I see you broseph, you like her" Angie explains all in one breath. I was a bit shocked at first but then I realize how obvious it must've been. Ana and Lisa May come over while Isa is talking to Kamy. "We all see it, even mom was questioning it" I feel sweat start to form behind my neck, that must be really weird to mom. Oh well, I ignore them and go over to the girls welcoming them by giving them short, tight hugs. You know, patented teddy bear hugs. People keep coming into the house in small groups and I gotta say I'm excited for this party until..

Barrys POV

I was dreading this, everything was good until "HEYY NIKO." I know that voice, I sneak over behind Joe "wheres barry?" I told them all about my problem so they said they'll keep me safe until I'm found. Yeah I know, not the best thing to hide from your girlfriend but, I don't know maybe she'll get distracted or something. Joe scoots toward the stairs so I can run up them when she's not paying attention.

"Thanks Joe" she turns my way and Joe stiffens up. I see someone behind me.

"What's going on?" Jill whispers.

"Wanna help?" Joe asks and she nods. "Distract her facing that way" she slides over to her and talks to her a bit, I don't know about what but, they're talking and she's faces away from us. Joe moves slowly towards the stairs, I sprint up the stairs once we reach it and go into my room, locking the doors.

Joe's POV

So that worked out well, it won't last long but at least he's safe for now. Almost everyone is here at 2 so I start to socialize with everyone. I'm talking to one of Trace's friends until I see Erin, I excuse myself and walk towards her. "Hey! So how do you like the party?"

"Good so far! I don't know a lot of these people though so I feel awkward" I feel a bit bad for her so, I stay by her side talking to her for a good hour. "Joe we've been talking for like an hour, you can go see someone else or something" i laugh a bit

"It's totally fine, I'd rather talk to you than like half of the people here" a smile forms on her face.

"You're the best" she mutters, probably hoping i didn't hear her but, I can read lips pretty well. I keep talking to her for another hour, just wishing this time we have together will never end
