Moving in

TEN

Erin's POV

Oh my gosh. Joe is the best. I felt a bit awkward being there and I really didn't know anyone, I'm not even that close to the guys, yet. But Joe didn't leave me for majority of the party, we talked for about 3 hours. It was great because we didn't run out of things to say. It's about 6pm right now and the guys called Joe over for something they need to do. I tried to find someone to talk to but they all seemed preoccupied, until Kamy came up to me. We talked a bit until someone came over and interrupted us, taking Kamy away. I could tell she didn't want to go but, I let her. "Hey!" Some random girl came up to me.

"Hi! I'm Erin"

"I'm Ana" we got to talking for a bit and I learned that she was actually Joe's sister, no wonder why she's so pretty and nice.

"Anak lets go I'm tired" Ana's mom says. It's about 9 now and I understand that she's tired so I say my goodbyes to the Caigoy family and they head out.

"DOES ANYONE NOW WHERE BARRY IS?" The guys call out and some random girl screams about how she's looking for him too.

Barry's POV

This party sucks. Ever since I ran upstairs I've been locked in my room half of the time, hiding from Sophia. It's not that I didn't have a choice, I did this on my own feel will but you know, I wanted to enjoy myself but I hate confrontations. I checked the clock, 5pm. I've been sitting here playing on my DS for a good 4 hours, I guess you can't say it was completely bad but still. There was a knock on the door. I suddenly became scared "Hello?" It was a girl's voice.

"Yes?" My voice cracked as I said that.

"What happened a while ago?" Wait, that can't be Sophia, she would've been screaming at me already for ignoring her. I sneaked towards the door and peaked out.

"Oh hey Jill" she fake smiles at me and waves. "Sorry about that it's just" I sighed as she rolled her eyes. "It's my girlfriend" her smile dropped "she's mad and I don't want to confront her, how did you even get up here anyway?"

"I just came up, no one stopped me" a laugh was in her voice.
"Oh shoot that can't be good because then she'll be able to come up here" I become scared again but now that I'm looking in the hall a few of my nerves were relieved.
"Do you want me to take guard or something?" She starts shuffling towards the stairs
"No no it's okay you don't have to" I'd feel bad if majority of this party was spent doing me a favor
"Oh okay" there's a silence "Wait what have you been doing up here?"
I chuckle a bit "I've just been playing on my DS"
"Pokemon?"
"Mario Kart"
"Ooh you gotta play me sometime" we both laugh, her smile drops again "well, anyway, hope you get things right with your girl" she walks away.

"Wait Jill" she turns around "should I talk to her?" She hesitates a bit then, gives me a nod then walks away "thanks" she keeps walking. I get out of my room, head downstairs and instantly find her.

"BARRY" oh no. I'm scared, there's a pull on my arm and I'm dragged into an empty room. "Have you been avoiding me?"

"No" my voice cracked. I tried to think of a cover up "I was in my room finding something and I couldn't find it but I need it then I got tired of looking for it and took a nap" my voice was rushed, so she wasn't convinced. Dang it.

"Good excuse" she rolled her eyes as I feel my palms become sweaty "but seriously. Why did you ignore me HUH? YOU SPEND WAY TO MUCH TIME WITH THE GUYS. It's a lot worse now that you LIVE WITH THEM" I shushed her

"Quiet down. I don't want everyone to know about our problems. And I'm sorry okay? It's for something I love to do" we are still downstairs and there's people in the other room

"And what about me you don't love me?" I was a bit offended/hurt with her words, but I tried to reason with her. We went back and forth like that and of course I was wrong so she forgave me. "I'm glad we're okay now" her voice was a bit harsh then she walked away.
I didn't feel okay. Sure, we've argued before but, she said a few things that shook me up a bit. I don't really want to talk about it though. I pressed my back against the wall and slid down to the ground. Then I scuttled behind the table. My knees are pulled into my chest, and my head is resting on them. I knew this would happen.
