Bunking With Boys

Chapter 22: Dr. Phil and Denial

Avery's POV

It was Friday night which meant it was time for our family movie nights, as Bentley liked to call them.

We all gathered blankets and pillows from every part of the flat and created a sort of fort-like thing in the living room with snacks that would fill me up for fucking days.

It was pretty fun if I'm being honest. Gave me something to do I guess.

The only issues was, we could never agree on a movie. Ever. And the majority of the time these "movie nights" ended up with someone having a black eye while we watch Dr.Phil.

Dr. Phil, our peacemaker.

And just like any other Friday, the routine followed as suit.

"Don't you dare insult the god of all gods like that again you piece of shit!" Bentley yelled flailing his arms around furiously.

"I don't really think snoopy is the "god of all gods". " Victor tells him in air quotes, with a slightly freaked out look on his face, trying to settle the debate but only making it so much fucking worse.

"Victor," Bentley says all too calmly. "If you ever disrespect that glorious little doggo again, I will not hesitate to shove a cactus down your throat while you sleep."

"OKAY!" Elliot shouts jumping in front of Victor and holding his arms out to Bentley in a stop motion. "That's enough guys."

Dawson just sighs in his spot next to me and flicks to the Dr. Phil show, once again.

And almost immediately, everyone settles down and focuses on the show. Except for one dipshit.

"Aye Keegan, turn off the phone and get invested into this petty drama. Someone's about to get arrested." Axel tells him munching on popcorn, not really caring what Keegan was doing, as his only concerns were on the tv.

"Yeah, sure." He mumbled still smiling at his phone, paying absolutely no attention to Axel.

Callum looks to me then to Keegan with a devious smirk on his face and I shake my head at what he's about to do and turn to the tv once again.

Callum quickly leans over and peaks at his phone before Keegan realizes and immediately shuts the screen off.

"Is that-" he starts with wide eyes and a smirk on his lips before Keegan grabs him in a headlock, shutting him up before he can share anything.

"Aye!" Callum yells throwing his legs around, accidentally kicking over the popcorn.

"Asshole!" Axel yells staring at his snack on the ground in despair. He looks up to Callum and Keegan with a glare and says "Kill him." then he picks up some popcorn off the floor and angrily turns back to the tv.

"Should we stop them?" Victor asks munching on his sour strings.

"I'd usually say yes, but we don't any more bruises tonight," Elliot tells him quietly with a wince and shake of his head.

Victor just nods and looks away from Callum struggling vigorously.

"I still have the power here bitch!" Callum yells. "You were texting-" then suddenly he's stopped when Keegan let's go and shoved a pillow over his face, muffling the screams.
