i wake up to my alarm going off.
i get up and go downstairs.
i see jonah making coffee and some chocolate chip waffles.
somethings up.
he only makes those when something's up.

"hey, what's up with the waffles?" i ask pouring a cup of coffee.

"i shouldn't be the person to tell you." he said flipping them with a worried face.

weird.
i stir in my creamer and sugar and sit down at the island.
the next person to come down the stairs was jack.
he looked confused too.

"what's up with the waffles?" he said.

"i can't say." jonah replied and jack sat down pouring some orange juice in a cup.

the three of us talk until daniel and corbyn come down.

"what's up with the-" corbyn started.

"don't. ask." i say tired of people asking.

jonah finished the waffles and sets them down.

"i'll go get zach and bri." i said getting up.

"no don't!" jonah yells but i go anyways.

the door was locked so i started knocking.

"zach?" i call out.

the weird noise stops and the door opens.
i see zach with swollen eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"hey sil, what's wrong?" i ask hugging him.

"b-bri bro-broke u-up w-with m-me!" he sobbed.

"oh baby. it's ok. you were too good for her anyways. she doesn't deserve you." i rub his back.

he cries into my shirt and hugs tightly.

"silly, there's chocolate chip waffles downstairs. our favorite." i said and he looked at me.

he loved when i called him silly.
that's our nickname for each other when we are sad or really close at times.

"hey you gotta eat and leave your room." i said looking back at him.

"f-fine." he breathed.

we walk down the stairs with him in front of me.
i make faces at the boys to not ask once we see them.
zach sits down in his seat at the island and jonah serves him some.
i serve myself some as do the others.

"hey silly, you want whipped cream?" i ask zach.

he nods and i go get the whipped cream.
i pour some on his and my waffles.

"can i have some?" jack asks and i hand him the bottle.

i finished my waffles and wait for zach to finish.

"can you not work today? and spend the day with me?" zach asked as he finished his waffles.

"of course sil." i smile and wipe the whipped cream off his face.

i take mine and his plate to the sink and rinse them.
i put them in the dishwasher and walk back towards zach.
he gets up and we walk towards the couch.
we sit down and he pulls me in for cuddles.
i lay on his chest and he gives light kisses on my forehead.

corbyn's pov
"i honestly think they'd be a cute couple." i say and daniels head whips towards me.

"what?" he exclaims.

"yea, i mean they're always acting like it and hitting on each other." jack says.

daniel lets out a sigh.
