"If one more person asks me for one of their numbers I'm going to loose it Kev"

I scroll through my photos of the boys while Kevin continues to laugh rather loudly on speaker.

"Well babylove, your best friends with  a couple of the hottest boys since MJ, can you blame them"

I roll my eyes and sigh. I've been living with a couple of boys ever since my parents died 10 years ago in a car accident. It's been cool, you know living with them was like having 5 older brothers to prank you and give you spoiled blue cheese in your Omelette(note: never let them near the stove). I guess you can kind of say they're, a little, famous.

"OH MY GOSH ITS WHY DONT WE!!! SIGN MY FACE SIGN MY FACE!!!!!"

Well they're home. So, the boys I live with, their names are Jack Avery, Daniel Seavey, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, and Zach Herron. Also known as Why Don't We, the pop rising singer songwriters with thousands of limelight's across the globe. Great right? NOT

"Oh dang boo, was that a screaming fan?"

There's a lot of movement going on as I watch the boys scramble through the door. Scratches and red patches lightly kissing their cheeks, they're flushed.

"Call ya back"
*beep*
"Well if it isn't the all mighty boys of wonder, or somethin"

I take the last  sip of my fresh ice cold kiwi mango and look into the bottom of the empty glass. I whisper or something under my breath as they walk into the kitchen and begin raiding cabinets searching for something to fill their always empty stomachs. Zach looks into the cabinet most likely looking for some chips or something then turns to me and smirks.

"Don't worry Hail's, we'll sign your face too, all you gotta do is ask"

He snickers at his "hilarious" joke and stuffs a handful of Cheez-its in his mouth dead set on him being the funniest person ever. The boys focus on me for my comeback, I hate this, I've never been one to clap back but when it comes to Zach, it's different.

"Keep telling jokes and I might just have you sign your own death certificate, how bout that?"

Even their laughs are harmonized, like for real they're stupid talented you don't even understand. All of us laugh at our friendly banter all except, Daniel. He's completely zoned in his own world right now. Corbyn, Jonah and Jack are already spread out on the couch controllers in hand and Daniel by the kitchen counter drinking a bottle of water. His bodies there but his mind, blank and elsewhere. I stand up and walk over to him wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Hey Dani, where are you, you look kinda, out"

He snaps out of his daze and smiles. His bright glistening blue eyes piercing through me. His smile knocking the air out of me. Wait, what why am I thinking like this? It's Daniel, he's like my brother. I quickly shake the thought out of my head and continue to ensure the wellbeing of my friend. I smile back at him then raise an eyebrow. His hands making their way to my lower back.

"It's just...never mind"

He strokes the back of his neck lightly in a shy way his cheeks growing hot. What's gotten into him, he's always chill. I let go. Out of all of them I'm closest to Daniel, from the day his mom took me in to live with them, to the day I moved in with him and some of his closest friends, to the day we started getting fans knocking on our door, it's been me and Daniel against the world. Well at least until he got a girlfriend. Skyler Ray, America's sweetheart babylove, model, actress, disgusting human being, but what's acting for am I right. Daniel is a quiet kinda kid not as bad as Corbyn but he's just not into Drama, Sky Ray...she's all drama. Zach finds this rather amusing looking up from his nearly empty bag of Cheez-its and laughing.

"Yup, definitely nothing at all Dani"

He gives Daniel a disappointing look then goes back to eating. I look around and realize the boys are all avoiding my gaze, most definitely hiding something. I walk up to the TV and stand right in front of Corbyn and Jonah's Fortnite game dead set on hearing the truth. I look straight into Corbyn's eyes as he tries his hardest to avoid me. He can't lie to me.

"Bean?"
"Anything to say?"

He closes his eyes then opens them, the boys on their toes practically begging him not to crack. I just didn't get the big secret. They normally tell me everything. Corbyn sighs then looks to the boys.

"I think she should know guys, I-I don't get the big secret, I think the whole world should know what a bad person she actually is"

His calm quiet voice rippling through the pin drop silence. I look to the other boys who nod in agreement. They all look to Daniel who's still scratching the back of his neck, out and silent. Jack throws the controller on the couch next to him and sits up straight directing his words at Dani.

"Yea, Skyler Ray, his girlfriend, cheated on him. I never liked her, she was always just trouble, I knew it from the start I just didn't say anything because I didn't wanna hurt Dani, I didn't wanna crush his Happily Ever After"

His words rough and edged, he was bleeding with anger his voice upset but regretful. He looks to Daniel and smiles, behind the smile a look of reassurance telling him he'd be ok. With that he stands and walks out the room. The room falls silent once again as we all look towards Daniel who seems as if his world was just flipped upside down. I drop my eyes to his hands gently wrapped around one another. His bright blue eyes dull and cold. Corbyn sitting uncomfortably on the couch next to Jonah who's showing absolutely no emotion and Zach against the table island arms folded. Daniel looks up and each of us then takes off. His jeans jacket flowing behind him as he grabs his skateboard by the door and then slamming the door behind. Once again a deadly silence that Corbyn then breaks.

"Should we go after him?"

His words directed at no one in particular looking around worry in his eyes. Jonah stands and glides over to the fridge to get some water.

"I don't think we should, he seems pretty steamed just let him cool off"
