the boys were up early cleaning up the aftermath of the party, nick was quiet.
zion and austin was looking around the house for lauren, hoping she didn't leave early.
"have any of you guys seen laur?"
"not since last night." edwin shrugged.
"i saw her last when she walked in."
"well.." nick said.

"what did you do?"
"i didn't do anything, it's just that brandon isn't here either." nick shrugged.
"they're best friends nick, stop having a stick up your ass." austin said as he went upstairs to brandon's room, knocking on the door.
austin put his head up on the door, hearing nothing.

he opened the door and saw brandon laying in bed, cuddling with lauren..
"we're cleaning up the house." zion said, loudly.
"five, ten more minutes." brandon said, his voice muffled by the blanket.
"bumblebee i'm already pissed off with you. let's go."
"hold on, let me put some clothes on."
"why're you guys so loud." lauren groaned.
"maybe if you guys woke up early and helped clean."
"aus, shut up you sound like a mom."
"i swear ima pull you out of this bed."
"you're going to regret that as soon as you do it." she laughed.

both zion and austin made a disgusted face and walked out of the room.
"what does this make us?" brandon asked.
"well.. i like you." she giggled.
"here's this, since we never really talked about it. let's start out slow, hm?"
"so this," she motioned between them. "is slow?"
"you know what i meant." he laughed, pecking her on the lips.
"i'm going to go downstairs."

lauren got up, putting her clothes on and went downstairs.
their was an awkward pause as she made eye contact with nick, then shaking it off.
"good morning." she smiled.
"you should've woken earlier, i'm just saying." austin said outloud.
"shut up." she laughed.

she heard nick mutter something under his breath but ignored it.
"the party was so fun, i wish you didn't walk away." edwin said.
"no, it's okay ed. what she did was much more fun, wasn't it lauren?" nick growled.
"mature about things, my ass." she got up in his face.
"lauren, i don't want you to start something you can't finish."
"no nick, continue. you keep saying shit."
nick stormed off, going to who knows where.
