Hudson, Asher, Colton, Parker. Hudson, Asher, Colton, Parker. HUDSON, ASHER, COLTON, PARKER. Wide eyed, I watched on as the realisation that these four boys were in my house, in my dining room, on my chairs, chatting to my parents, sunk in.  ‘Chronic’ was one of the biggest boy bands in the world, adored by teenage girls the world over. I had never been one of those adoring fans, like Peyton, but you know, when they’re in your house and you haven’t exactly brushed your hair, shock certainly registers.    

Standing there, I couldn’t do anything but fight my instinct to flee. I then realised ‘why fight it?’ and turned on my heels to escape, but it was too late.

‘Hey look, sleeping beauty has arisen’ said Hudson with a chuckle.

‘Ave!’ said Parker, moments before crashing into me with a hug.

‘Hey … Parker’ I said patting him on the back. How the hell did he know my name? And why were they here? What the hell was happening?

‘Aren’t you going to say good morning to your girlfriend?’ said Asher to Colton. Looking around the room for Colton’s girlfriend I was interrupted by Parker.

‘Yeah say good morning to Avie-bear’ he said wrapping his arms around my shoulders and pushing me towards Colton.

What-the-actual-mother-fucking-eff!

‘Morning…Babe’ Colton said weirdly, giving me a stiff hug.

‘Okay, seriously what the hell is going-’ I said before being interrupted.

‘Can I speak to you in your ah room … babe’ Colton said taking me by the hand.

‘We will just be a minute’ he said to everyone else. The last thing I saw before being dragged up the stairs was Parker winking at me suggestively. Thundering up the stairs like there was no tomorrow, Colton held onto my hand, pulling me up behind him. His hand around mine sent electric pulses up my arm and shivers down my spine. The way he held my hand so tightly, yet so soft, it made me blush. 

‘Which ones your room?’ he asked.

‘Ah that one’ I said pointing, still looking at our entwined hands. Pulling me inside and shutting the door behind us, he then pulled me over towards my couch and pointed to it.

‘Sit’ he said. Doing as I was instructed I sat down on the chaise lounge and watched as Colton paced back and forwards in front of me.

‘Alrighty then umm I’m just going to say it: what the hell!’ I said throwing my hands up.

‘What do you ah mean?’ he asked strangely.

‘I mean, you, extremely famous person that I have never met, is in my house and is apparently, according to three other very famous people, my boyfriend’ I said.

‘Wait! You don’t know me! You’re not my girlfriend!’ he said starting to smile.

‘Hey! Don’t look so pleased buddy, I’m a catch!’ I said ‘But no, I’m not you girlfriend’

‘Something weird is happening’ he stated.

‘No! Really? This is normal for me! It’s not for you?’ I exclaimed ‘Yes this is weird! Thankyou captain obvious!’

‘Okay calm down’ he said hands up.

‘I’m sorry I’m just really weirded out, what is going on?’

‘I don’t know’ he said ‘I just woke up this morning and you can imagine my surprise when the boys tell me “we’re going to see Avery” and I’m like “whose Avery?” and there like “Your girlfriend!” I mean me, a girlfriend? It was like they didn’t even know me!’ he said face-planting my bed.
