twentyfive.

"Hey guys," she heard Bryce's cheerful villain voice. "You're shopping together now, next you're gonna tell me you've found an apartment together." Everyone was silent, deciding to ignore Bryce and his strange small talk. "Holy shit. Have you guys found an apartment together?"

"No, dude. What the fuck. We aren't even together." Justin hissed, pushing the cart ahead. But Bryce and Zach followed. Zach and Elizabeth were having their own conversation, and Justin continued to ignore Bryce and do the shopping. "El's having a party, are you guys coming?" He asked, Zach now present in their conversation.

"It's tomorrow." She added.

"I'll go. I know you guys can't buy drinks so I'll supply the alcohol, be there at 8." Bryce spoke, walking away. Zach has stuck around, walking with Justin and Elizabeth. Not that they minded.

"Thank God that rodent is gone, he dragged me to the store. I don't even know why, also, I'm down for a party." Zach spoke, making the other two giggle at him. "Can I hang with you guys today? If that's okay." Elizabeth looked up at her giant friend, smiling happily at him.

"You don't even need to ask." Elizabeth commented, throwing bags of potato chips into the cart. "We're going to buy some clothes for Justin, to keep at my house, if you want to join." Zach nodded, following them to the checkout. After everything was paid for and they were back in their car, she drove it all home as there were frozen things that couldn't be melted.

Justin, Zach, and Elizabeth had packed all the groceries away, then got back into the car to go shopping. Again.

Hours passed, and the trio entered the house with a myriad of bags from different stores. Elizabeth had bags from Victoria Secret, the boys watching her every move in that store and making funny 'ooh' sounds at everything she picked up. The boys had bags from different stores, Zach offering to buy everyone's clothes, but Elizabeth had declined. She bought hers and Justin's things, Zach paying for himself.

"That store is so embarrassing, I felt like a creep standing outside of it." Justin groaned, his hands over his face. "What did you get?" He asked Elizabeth. Her eyes widened as she ran upstairs and into her room, folding everything and putting them away. Justin has joined her in the room, folding his clothes and putting them in the drawer underneath her bay window. "Seriously, what did you get?"

She huffed and smiled, pulling her new items from her drawer. "Very skimpy lingerie." His mouth dropped, looking away with his cheeks flushing red. She giggled and put them away, closing the drawer before he looked back at her. "It's okay, you can look now." Before she walked over to him, she heard Zach cough at the door.

"Can I come in?" She hummed in response, as he dove onto her bed. "Holy shit, this is comfortable."

"Yeah, man. I know." Justin spoke, Elizabeth hitting his arm before Zach had heard. Justin laughed down at her, leaning his forearm on her shoulder.

"Are you boys staying the night?" She asked, sitting at her bay window. "I have a guest room." Zach and Justin both nodded, Elizabeth leaving the fight of the guest room up to them.

"Well I need to grab some things from home." Zach spoke, leaving the room and going out to his car. Elizabeth and Justin enjoyed a comfortable silence together, before Justin stood up.

"Me too. Are you going to be okay here for a while?" He asked. She nodded, feeling him wrap his arms around her. "Thank you for being there for me, I really mean it. Nobody has been there like you have."

"Always, Foley."

He smiled before leaving her house, giving her time to figure out dinner and tidy the living room. She heard her phone ringing, so she darted upstairs to grab it. Seeing her dad calling.

"Hey, dad." She spoke, laying on her bed. "Is everything okay?"

"Hey, mija. I just got your text, everything is okay, considering your tia." He explained. "I won't be home for a while, I'm so sorry." She rested her head against her pillow and sighed. She missed her dad incredibly.

"That's okay, do you think I can have some friends over?" She questioned.

"Of course, I don't want you to be alone." He replied. "I love you, mija."

"I love you too dad."
