Karoline's POV

I only got a glimpse of sleep which was only possible because of these guys especially Max since he had been comforting me the whole time. Weirdly, the Blake that couldn't keep shut was utterly silent. All of them were in this room. Max, Jay and Mason were both on the bed, beside me. Alex, Jason and Aiden were sleeping on the floor more like Alex and Jason were sleeping on Aiden. Blake was sleeping on the couch.

I have been looking at each and every human over here, trying to get my thoughts away. Someone shifted beside me and I realised that it was Max so I quickly shut my eyes and pretended that I was sound asleep. I didn't want anyone to worry about me so I thought I will just pretend to be okay.

Once he stopped moving, I shifted so that I could face him. I took my time to take in his features. He had curvy hair, highlighted cheekbones, plump lips and long and thick eyelashes. What did guys do to deserve such thick eyelashes!!??

"Hazel?" I heard and obviously it was Blake so I shut my eyes again so he would think that I am sleeping but has anything expected happened!? "Stop pretending, I know your awake."He whispered. Now that my little act was out, I looked towards his direction to snap at him but before I could he said "Let's go make breakfast " to which I replied with a nod and tried to slowly get up.

I was stuck between these two bulls. My left hand was under Max's head, his one hand was on my waist and Jay's leg was on my legs so basically they had me trapped. If someone walked in on us, it would for sure look like we were having a threesome. I blushed at that idea and Blake got me out of my la la land as he said "you coming, or?" "Yea, a minute."

Finally after sometime I was able to get myself out without waking anyone. He slowly opened the door and went down. I first went to the washroom in the next room and then followed down. However, I was afraid. Afraid that if he would ask any questions and I won't be able to answer him.

As I reached the kitchen, I was greeted by his back. Noticing my presence he asked "What do you want to make?"
"I am fine with anything." I replied shortly
"Will omelet and toast be enough?"
"Sounds good"
"We could make waffles too." He added. "Sure"

To be honest I was fine with anything. Heck I didn't even want to eat but I don't want to look like a sulker and weak infront of these guys. I have to be strong...

Weirdly, none of us talked. He didn't ask any questions relating to my outburst last night or my nightmares. Our conversations were short and just about this breakfast. "What's cooking?" Mason asked enlightening us with his presence and soon the rest followed slowly by slowly. We were done with the waffles thus I thought of changing my clothes as they got quite dirty.

As expected Max was the last one to wake up so I crossed paths with him on the way up. He gave me a look of concern but I didn't want it nor his pity so I hurried up but he caught my hand. "Are you ok?" I gave him a brief smile and said "I am perfectly fine, don't worry and sorry about last night. Just never mind it." I tried to make it as convincing as I could which I think, worked as he left my hand and I made my way upstairs.

This time I didn't forget to lock the door, don't want the Blake incident again, now do we?

MAX'S POV

I woke up as the sun rays hit my face and with a stiff neck. Last night's events ran through my head. Her cries rang in my ear. I wonder what that was about. I hope it's not serious, however I do know that it was because of the call that she received. Unfortunately we couldn't hear the exact thing that she was talking about. I just hope she will be okay. I went down and there she was, coming up. Her eyes were still heavy. She looked up as she heard my footsteps. She tried to go up as soon as she can thus without wasting any second I grabbed her hand and asked "Are you ok?"

I heard her taking a deep breath as she replied with a smile "I am perfectly fine, don't worry and sorry about last night. Just never mind it." Her eyes didn't hold that shine but instead they were saying much more and something totally different from what her mouth just said. Without pushing it further, I let go of her hand and she left to go up. I made my way downstairs where everyone was. Each asking questions relating to her as soon as she left. "Did you ask her anything?" I asked directing towards Blake as he was here with her long back before us. "No but I will, soon." He replied with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

Knowing that he is stubborn and stupid at times I warned him "it will be inappropriate for you to poke your nose into her business."
"What do you mean to say?" He blankly asked. "What I mean is that everyone has secrets that they don't want anyone else to know."

"It's called secret for a reason." Jax replied. "It must be because she was either refused some branded clothes or tickets to super famous boy band." Jason added. "Well she should be glad that she is here with the hottest and sexiest people on the world." Replied Mason. Always the cocky. Well no one knows but I kind of hope it is a silly reason.
