AS PROMISED, BLAKE facetimed scout a few hours later. he had just finished recording and had left the studio. scout picked up after a few rings, "hi shortcake," the boy greeted brightly. the girl laughed slightly at his enthusiasm and said hello as well. she appeared to be walking, he heard a door opening and the soft jingle of keys as she set them down on a table. "did you just get home?" he asked. the girl sighed slightly as she plopped down onto what blake assumed was a couch. "yeah, kinley and i has a sleepover last night and she made me breakfast in bed this morning."

blake smiled at the girls' friendship, "what did she make you?" "oh, you know, the works. pancakes, bacon, orange juice." she groaned and leaned back on the sofa, hands on her stomach, "i'm so full though." sitting back up she asked, "how was recording? did you finish the ep?" blake nodded, "yeah we finished everything. our manager popped in towards the end and told us that we would be dropping it sometime next month. but we have the next couple weeks off so i'm probably gonna stick around here with the boys for a week and then go home the next."

listening intently, scout nodded, "that sounds like fun. i'm sure your family would love to see you again." blake nodded in agreement, he hadn't seen his family since before he went to los angeles and he missed them greatly. being away from his family was one of his least favorite parts of the job. don't get him wrong, the traveling and singing was amazing but being away from the people he loved all the time was awful. "you okay?" scout asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"yeah, i'm fine. i was just thinking about how much i hate constantly being away from my family. i adore my job, i do, but i miss them so much." scout mouth curved downwards slightly, feeling sad for the dark-haired boy on the opposite end of the screen. she wished so badly that she could just reach across and squeeze his hand or give him a reassuring hug. "i'm sorry blake." realizing that he was making her sad, blake quickly jumped in, "don't be shortcake. like i said, i love my job, i get to live out my dream every single day. i just meant that i do miss my family sometimes and it sucks. but, for the most part, everyday is a good day. i didn't mean to make you upset."

smiling again, scout said, "i know blake. let's talk about something else, something happier. how are the boys doing?" blake's mouth turned upwards at the mention of his best friends. "they're great. i mean, we all miss you and kin tons but, other than that, we're all good." "we miss you guys too blake." noticing that they were once again talking about upsetting topics, blake veered the conversation towards something happier. "so, the other day, the boys and i were out and about. we found this lovely little cafe that reminded me of you. i forced them to go inside and..." the two continued talking for the next few hours until reece and george returned home and demanded blake get off the phone and play video games with them.

as he hung up, blake thought about scout. she was beautiful, funny, sweet, and she made him smile more than anyone else ever had before. she was perfect for him, his other half in every possible way. what had started as a mere flirtation had turned into something much more. blake was falling in love with scout finemoree.
