So we didn't. We stayed there, exactly like that.

Sonny's POV
I was starting to get worried. Andy and Jack had been gone going on two hours now. I'd somehow managed to get Brook calm, and he was now asleep on my lap. Rye, I could tell, was also really worried, but he tried to play it off as if he wasn't. After Brook had calmed down and fell asleep, he came back and sat next to me on the couch. Not even 10 seconds after, he'd gotten up and started pacing the room. It then became a cycle of him sitting on the couch for a few seconds, then pacing for a few more seconds. It was making me anxious just watching it.

"I'm gonna go shower," Rye said out of the blue, in the midst of his pacing, making his way out of the room. I only nodded in response.

Now alone with my thoughts, I couldn't stop worrying about Jack and Andy. Even though I knew that they were most likely fine, just talking things out, I couldn't help but be worried. What if Andy had lost track of Jack, and they were both lost somewhere. It was starting to get dark. What if someone tried to hurt them - either one of them - out there?

I was so lost in my thoughts and worries that I didn't realize that someone had walked into the room and sat next to me until I felt their head on my shoulder and their hands running through my hair. I leaned into the touch, and soon realized it was Jack. I looked up to see Andy sitting there, just watching us. "Where's my boyfriend?" he asked.

"He said he was going to shower," I told him.

"Oh, okay," Andy said, turning to make his way upstairs, too.

"Why are you so upset?" Jack asked softly, his hands still running through my hair.

"I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. I guess I just let my thoughts go and they went too far," I told him, laying my head on his.

"What were you thinking about?"

"You and Andy," I said honestly. "I was afraid you were lost, and that it would get dark and you would get hurt. I don't know. Like I said, it was just my thoughts going on without me."

"Sorry I ran off like that. I was just really, really mad and I needed to cool off before I hurt someone."

"You don't have to apologize. Are you better now, though?" I asked.

"I think so. I'm a little bit confused, still, I guess."

"What are you confused about?" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, his face turned red and he lifted his head off of my shoulder.

"I... I don't know. I'm just confused, okay?" he said defensively.

"Okay. That's fine," I told him. "You're fine, okay?" I whispered.

He nodded, laying his head back onto my shoulder. We stayed like that, in silence for awhile. Slowly, one of my hands made it's way around Jack's waist, the other playing with Brook's hair. It wasn't long before I heard soft snores coming from Jack, not for the first time that day. I didn't fall asleep, though, just enjoyed being around the two younger boys for awhile.

Andy's POV
I was sat on Rye's bed, waiting for him to get done showering. I wasn't exactly tired, but I was a bit worn out from running around chasing Jack. I fell onto my back, cuddling into my boyfriend's blankets and pillows that smelled like him.

Before I knew what was happening, I was being kissed awake by a semi-naked Ryan. "If you don't wake up, baby, you aren't going to go to sleep tonight," he said before placing more feathery light kisses all over my face.

"Didn't mean to fall asleep," I told him, before sassily adding, "But put a shirt on!"

"Why would I do that when I could stay shirtless?" he asked.

"Because Rob said we have to film a vlog."

"So?"

"I'm the only one allowed to see this," I said, standing up and wrapping my arms around his neck. But before I could kiss him, Robbie walked in and we jumped apart.

"Guys, we need to start filming the vlog," he informed us. "And Rye, put some clothes on!" he added before walking out of the room.

"See?" I asked, giggling.

"Fine," he rolled his eyes before getting ready the rest of the way.

"Your hair, mate!" I said before attempting to fix it up for him.

"What's wrong with it?" Rye asked.

"It's all over the place, babe."

"Oh well?"

"Oh well," I smiled, and leaned in to kiss him before we made our way downstairs to the rest of the boys.

Brook's POV
When I woke up again, I was on Sonny's lap. I looked up to see him, still awake.

"Hey, mate," I said groggily.

"Hey, Brooky," he smiled.

I felt a hand going through my hair, but it wasn't Sonny's. I looked over to see Jack, his hands still running through my hair, even in sleep. I smiled at that.

"Hey, Sonny? I need you to film a bit for the vlog." I looked to the door to see Robbie there with the camera. Seeing as he needed Sonny, I sat up so that he could, too.

"Brook, take my place?" Sonny asked, and I realized he was talking about Jack.

"I don't really think that's a good idea." Sonny looked at me sympathetically, while Robbie just looked confused. Oh yeah, he'd been sleeping when everything had happened.

"Just come here, Brook," Sonny said, lifting Jack's head off of his shoulder and standing up off the couch. I sat in his place, Jack's head falling onto my shoulder. Sonny and Robbie walked out of the room, and Jack cuddled further into me.

"I'm so sorry, Jacky. I love you so much." I kissed the top of his head, hoping things would go back to normal once he woke up.

Eventually, Andy and Rye came into the kitchen, laughing loudly. Jack stirred next to me, so I told them to be quiet.

"Are you two good, then?" Andy asked.

"I hope so. I really, really hope so, And," I told him.

"Well, me too, then," he said.

"I thought we were supposed to be filming a vlog?" Rye asked. "I know I didn't put a shirt on for nothing." Andy giggled beside him.

"Yeah him and Sonny are working on a bit for it, I think," I told them.

"Oh, okay. Pasta then?" Andy asked, giving Rye puppy dog eyes.

"Sure, baby." Rye looked at him with adoration, and I hoped, even more than before, that Jack would forgive me.
