Chapter 6: See Ya Later Babe

Bryce POV

I wrap my arms tightly around Rory, not wanting to let go. Why she wants to spend the night here I don't know, but usually she's glued to my side even with the boys, other than Blake and Jaden, so I guess I should be happy she wants to be social. "God I love you sweets," I murmur into her ear. Everyone is standing and sitting around the living room and the next room, not really listening.

Everyone meaning: Mia, Kouvr, Josh, Jaden, Curtis, who showed up like and hour ago, Nick, Ryland, Blake, Griffin, Thomas, Alex, Charli, Addison, Dixie, Tayler, Nate, Kellianne, Jack, James, James Charles, Nessa, Olivia, Kio, Chase, Tony, Ondre, Avani, Anthony, Larray, Michael, Calvin, Patty, and Paper.

There really are so many people here. Like I guess Blake, Josh, Griffin, James Charles, Nessa, maybe Kio, maybe Anthony, Curtis, Jaden, and I are all gonna leave soon, but should I be leaving my social anxiety riddled girlfriend here by herself. I smile down at her cuddled into my side, still not letting go.

I trust Thomas and Tayler to watch out for her... I think. I mean what is the worst that can happen.

Plus I'm not exactly sober but I'm the most sober, so I have to drive home and I don't really want to risk her that much. The other boys will be fine, but she's so small.

"Do you have to go Bryce?" She looks at me with big eyes, and we look into each others' before Mia interrupts,

"Yes he does. Because were going to be fine, and we're gonna have a great night, and Bryce is going to leave, alright?" Mia glares at me to agree over Rory's head.

"Yeah babe, you're gonna have fun. The boys and I are just gonna fuck around," I get a glare for Rory when I curse making me smile, "tonight, and you're gonna have fun tonight okay? I'll be back tomorrow." She pushes her face into my chest.

The three of us all jump as Party and Alex start yelling something about a bit Alex wants to do. I don't really care, but it makes almost everyone run out of the room. Only Blake, Thomas, Kouvr, who is visibly rolling her eyes at her boyfriend, Avani, Anthony, Charli, Olivia, and Nate stay with Mia, Rory, and I in the living room. Blake, Anthony, Chase, and Thomas are sitting on the couch in deep conversation, while Kouvr, Charli, Olivia, and Avani are talking off to Mia's side.

I squeeze Rory tightly, once more, making her squeal before letting go. I sigh, resting my hand back on her waist.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow Ror, okay?" She nods slightly. I turn and walk over to the boys, but not before seeing Avani and Charli giggling and running over, with Kouvr, to Mia and Rory.

Oh god, what have I gotten her into.

Blake POV

"So that's real, seriously? That's like... new Bryce?" Chase says, confused.

"I really honestly don't think it's a new Bryce, I just think he's been so... not out of control but also he has been sorta" Anthony replies. We're all watching Rory and Bryce hug, and Thomas and Chase are still shocked.

"We've all decided there's nothing bad she can do. She's a tiny little angel. And she is making him seem better. The fans don't know about her yet, actually I think Alex and Thomas' vlogs will be the first time. But I'm hoping they see this too. She's bringing out the best part of him." I don't want to say this, but with that, I hope he doesn't start doing the opposite to her, he just can be a bad influence. Just then Thomas says just what I was about to say.

"The other thing is too, I can she her like open up when he's around. Like her eyes get bright and she gets a little louder, y'know?"

"Exactly, he's helping her anxiety slowly. It's really cool." After I finish speaking we notice Bryce walking back over, Rory left behind him with the other girl's. Just like what we were talking about, she seems to want to sink into the ground now that Bryce is leaving. She looks down, not interacting with the rest of the girls who are making plans for what they're going to do all night.
