My Brother's Best Friend

Neighbours

Elizabeths POV

I watched the news as Parker left to get the mail, all schools had been shut down due to the global pandemic of Coronavirus. I sighed in relief knowing I wouldn't have to go back to that hell we call the school. I was about to call Parker but the door opened and he came in

"Looks like we won't be seeing your friends anymore I'm completely devastated," I said dramatically

"Shutup, I actually wanted to talk to you about that" Parker started

"Why you did hear the school was shut down right?" I asked

"Yeah,  but when I ask you this no sarcastic or witty comments," Parker said and I could tell he was serious so I straightened up

"Fine,deal," I said waiting to hear his question

"Since you already know about Grayson's dad I think if he had to stay there all day things would go south for him..." he started to get quieter

"And?" I questioned even though I knew where this was going

"I think Grayson should live with us" he finished I almost rolled my eyes and groaned but refrained

"Okay fine," I said knowing things probably wouldn't go over well if Gray did stay with his deadbeat dad. 

"That was way easier than I thought it would be," he said happily like I was his parent who told him he could get a puppy

"He better not spread coronavirus in this apartment Parker," I said getting my last word in even though the boys have been hanging out nonstop. Then the door opened again and in walked good old Ollie and Liam.

"What now?" I sighed knowing they were up to something

"Is Parker here?" Ollie asked with a smile on his face

"He's talking to Grayson," I said and by the looks of their faces they were scheming or had already schemed something

"Grayson is staying here right?" they questioned Ollie smirking

"How did you know?" I asked wondering if I was the last person to be told this whole plan

"Oh Ollie here is the one who suggested it mostly so we could all live next to each other" Liam said nonchalantly

"What do you mean live next to each other," I said my voice almost pleading 

"Well my dear Elizabeth we just bought the two-bedroom apartment next door so now were neighbours we couldn't get a three-bedroom because you know were broke but you have an extra spare room so I casually mentioned it to Parker and now we can be together forever," Ollie said smiling and coming over to hug me

"I hate you guys" I sighed accepting the hug, to be honest, I was kind of excited to see us all basically living together especially with no school. I just wish Mikaela could be here too.

Parker came out of his room smiling noticing the boys I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch as they explained how well their plans worked out. The boys showed us the apartment next door and it was pretty similar to Parkers and mine but slightly smaller I let them all have their man time and walked next door to my own apartment and sat down and the couch enjoying the silence and freedom from school. It was comforting. I heard the front door open

"Can't you guys just stay there for a little while longer" I moaned lying on the couch till I heard clanking around and sat up 

"oh, it's you," I said looking at Grayson carrying three bags of his stuff. I was surprised he could carry them all as each looked to be packed full
