i wake up to banging on zachs door.
zachs quietly asleep on my chest and snoring slightly.

"open the fucking door. i know y/n is in there." corbyn, my cousin, yells from the other side.

"corbyn chill we just slept." i whisper loudly trying not to wake zach up.

"we're gonna have a talk when he wakes up." corbyn yells and storms down the stairs.

zach flutters his eyelashes and looks at me.

"what happened?" he asked with the raspy morning voice that kills me every time.

"corbyn's being overprotective again." i said playing with his hair.

"no it's my fault. i shouldn't have locked the door." he said getting up.

he looked at me indicating i need to get up too.
he grabbed my shirt from the floor and gave it to me.
i put it on and we walk out.

"your bed came while you were sleeping y/n." daniel said as i sat down.

"awesome." i smile grabbing the waffles that jonah made.

"i told you not to be loud." jonah joked and i smacked his chest.

"why the fuck was the door locked." corbyn yelled.

"it's my fault corbyn. don't take it out on y/n. i shouldn't have locked the door. all we did was cuddle. i wouldn't do anything else." zach said in defense.

the last sentence hurt me and i think daniel noticed.

"well don't do it again herron." corbyn said a tiny bit calmer.

i finished my breakfast and rushed up to my room so i didn't have to see zach.
i'm guessing the boys set my mattress up cause it was already set up.
i flop down on my bed and daniel comes in.

"you ok? it looked like what zach said affected you." he said sitting down next to me.

"nah it didn't. i just have a headache." i lied.

"want me to go get you some advil or something?" he offered.

"could you?" i ask.

daniel nodded and walked out.
i rest my face in my palms and let out a sigh.
daniel comes back with some water and the pills.
i take them and hand him back the glass.
i lay down and he does the same.
we stay like that until i get up.
he takes that as my headache is better and leaves.
i get dressed for the day and go to my office to do some work.

"y/n!" zach yells from downstairs.

i rush down and see what's up.

"so i have a surprise for you all." he starts.

"yea, hurry up." i say jokingly.

zach moves out of the way to reveal a girl.
she's blonde and kinda has the same features as his ex.

"this is my girlfriend bri." he said.

my heart breaks at the word girlfriend.

"hey nice to meet you all." she says and fake smiles at me.

"hello i'm y/n, the boys' assistant." i say.

"fun!" she says.

i roll my eyes and go to my room.
i close my door and quietly start balling my eyes out.
a knock on my door makes me wipe my eyes.

"come in." i say a bit shaky.

"i knew it." daniel said coming in to hug me.

"knew what?" i toughen up.
