closed minded; blake gray

13; day one

I pulled into the driveway of the humongous house and my nerves started going again. I didn't want to take my medication before I left because I was driving, and if I took it now, it would take too long to kick in.

So basically, I was screwed.

I got out of my car and grabbed my suit case and duffle bag, taking out my camera, "Hi guys, I know that I definitely look like I'm in a different spot for today's video," I said to the camera, trying to distract myself from being nervous.

"This video is me spending a week in the hype house!" I said excitedly. Just then, the front door opened and a familiar face walked across the street to get to me.

"Hey Bails," Ryland said with a grin, taking one of my bags for me before giving me a hug, "I've known you long enough to know that you'd be nervous to come in, so I'm here to drag you in," he said playfully, which made me laugh, "Guys, Rylands here."

Ryland took my camera and started to walk away, saying things to the screen that I couldn't exactly hear. He motioned for me to follow him towards the house, so I did, not trying to think about how many people were actually in there, even if I already met most of them.

"So this is my room," I said to my phone, reversing the camera and showing the entire guest room that was mine for the next week. 

Blake smiled from the other end of the facetime call, "Wow, that room is actually pretty big, I can't to visit tomorrow- wait a second, is that Nick?" he asked once my camera passed the boy on my bed who was scrolling through his phone.

Nick's head popped up at the mention of his name and he grinned, "Is that Blakey Bear?" I went over to the bed and sat next to Nick, who took my phone to talk to Blake, "Hi sexy."

Blake laughed at Nick, but he didn't seem to find it funny. He had this far off look in his eyes and it was really weird, "So uh, what are you guys doing tonight?"

I shrugged, "Not sure, probably just watch a movie or something. I'm tired from unpacking all of my things."

Nick brought his face closer to mine, so his left cheek was practically touching my right. I could see Blake show an emotion that I've seen a few times before- jealousy.

"How about I come over tonight and hang with you guys? And I was planning on coming tomorrow anyway so I can just stay over," Blake said all too  quickly, making my eyes widen.

"Blake, it's already 11:30, are you sure you want to drive all the way over here?" I asked him, completely surprised by his impulsive decision. 

He nodded, "Yeah, I'll be there in 20." he said, hanging up.

Nick let out a laugh, "he's so whipped it's insane."

I frowned, "You can tell?"

He nodded, "Who can't tell. Did you see how jealous he got when I got close to you? But then again, I'm just a total ladies man," he said with a smirk, making me reach over and slap his arm. 

As promised, Blake made it to the Hype House within 20 minutes, but when he walked in, everyone was in my room for some reason. Thomas and Mia were sitting on the couch in my room with Alex and Kouvr, Nick and Ryland were smushed on the bed next to me, and Calvin, Patrick, and Michael were all jumping around and just making all of us laugh. As usual, Thomas had his vlog camera out and was recording the three of them being maniacs.

Blake went around the room, hugging each person in the room until he saw me. He grinned and instead of waiting for me to get off the bed, he jumped on top of me, absolutely crushing me into a hug. 

I groaned, "You're killing me, Blake Gray."

I felt someone move to our side and I looked up to see Thomas recording us with his vlog camera, "Awww, young love at it's finest."

I escaped from Blake's hold and grabbed the nearest pillow, flinging it at him. Thomas laughed and walked away, beginning to record some of the others. 

Blake sat down in between my legs and leaned back so my front was against his back. The back of his head was leveled to my chin, so I rested my head on top of his, "I have a feeling they're not going to be leaving my room for a while now."

Blake frowned, "Do you want me to kick them out?" I shook my head with a small laugh, "No, it's kind of entertaining."

Calvin jumped onto the bed, which already had 4 of us on it, and he jumped up and down like a little kid, "Bailey, since you're new to the house, we have to do an initiation. But, since you're the baby of the house, we'll go easy on you."

I frowned playfully, "I'm not a baby. I bet I could whoop your ass right here right now." I said, slightly moving Blake over and standing up on the bed, face to face with Calvin.

I could feel Thomas's vlog camera on us as I rolled up my sleeves, ready to fight him. "Oh yeah?" Calvin asked, flexing his muscles, "You have another thing coming if you think you can handle these muscles."

I let out a laugh because he definitely thought that his muscles looked bigger then they actually were. Without saying another word, I wrapped my arms around his waist and tackled him back onto the bed, completely landing on Ryland and Nick. 

I quickly got off of him as Nick and Ryland yelled and pushed him off of them. I doubled over from laughing so hard and held my stomach from the pain of laughter. While I was off guard, Calvin picked me up and lifted me over his shoulders, spinning me in circles. This honestly only made me laugh even more.

Eventually he got tired and placed me down, the both of us collapsing to the floor because of how dizzy we were. We were both cackling at this point and Thomas just recorded us with disappointment, "Why can I not tell who won that?"

By the time everyone got out of my room and I finished showering, it was already 2 am. I quietly headed back into my room, considering Blake had his eyes closed and was laying on my bed. 

I tapped his shoulder and woke him up, "Blake, get under the sheets, you're going to be cold." I quietly said, and he just nodded, letting out a yawn. He got up sleepily and got under the covers with me.

His arms instantly pulled me closer, and my head went to his chest comfortably, "Goodnight Bails."
