“You’re adorable when you’re trying to seduce me,” Rosalie teased causing you to pout.

“Adorable is not what I was going for but it’ll have to do for now,” you replied as you slipped your hand under her blouse. Rosalie’s body jerked in surprise.

“[Y/N]!” She whispered through gritted teeth. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m just trying to get a taste of you baby,” you purred. If it wasn't for the fact that blood didn’t run through her body anymore, you could’ve sworn she blushed.

“We’re in public, stop it.”

You pouted but complied. “You’re no fun.” Rosalie rolled her eyes but kept her smile hidden. You were such a child when you didn’t get what you wanted. She opened the book in front of her and started reading.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom,” you told her and she nodded without saying a world.

Truth was, you didn’t really have to use the bathroom. You just needed an excuse to adjust your outfit. While you were unbuttoning your shirt you heard the sounds of the lock click behind you. Turning around you saw Rosalie standing there with a smirk.

“Reserved, huh?”

“Well, I-” you paused not having anything to say. She had caught you off guard and you weren’t prepared for her being in there with you.

“What? You have nothing to say now?” She took a step forward causing you to take a step back. “You see, you actually kind of inspired me out there…” she took another step forward and you took another step back. “Maybe I should step out of my shell and join the wild side.” At this point your back was against the wall, leaving you trapped under Rosalie’s gaze.

“Looks like you have nowhere to run, Kitten.”

Suddenly, you’re being pushed against the wall. Her hands are holding yours down, chest to chest with no chance of escaping. You whimpered causing Rosalie to smirk, her face finding its way to the crook of your neck, biting that specific part right below your ear that made your entire body shiver.

“You’ve been very naughty today, haven’t you sweet girl?”

You nodded and she looked at you.

“Use your words baby,” she shifts her mouth from its spot against your ear and slowly begins kissing down the side of your neck. Her mouth reaches your breast and she takes a hard bite at your nipple causing you to cry out in response.

“Y-yes...”

Her hands are all over you, wanting to feel the shivers coming from your body. Her mouth makes its way back up to your neck where she begins to suck on your skin, releasing it with an audible pop.

“Rose,” you moaned as she bit you again, this time harder than before.

“Don’t make a noise sweet girl. Let’s see how quiet you can be for me,” she slipped her fingers into your pants. Her hand made her way towards your underwear, pulling the piece of cotton that blocked your entrance to one side. Rosalie wasn’t shocked to find that you were pretty much soaking through your underwear.

“I’ve barely touched you and you’re already wet.”

“Ro-“

“No no no, don’t say a word. Make a noise and I’ll stop, that’s a promise.”

She slowly began to circle your clit and you could feel yourself becoming more aroused than you were before. You brought your fist to your mouth and bit down on it to keep your moans from slipping out.

Rosalie was enjoying watching you struggle because of her. You were at her mercy with nowhere to go. Your legs began to shake and Rose watched you proudly. You had never looked more beautiful.

Rosalie suddenly slipped a finger into your heat and you almost moaned in delight. She began pumping her finger in and out of you just to watch you twitch. The pleasure running through you caused your back to arch and hips to buck. The two of you began to sloppily kiss again, unable to get enough of each other until Rosalie added a second finger causing you to break away from the kiss and grip the edge of the sink.

You could feel the knot in your stomach as your orgasm began to build.

“F-fuck Rose,” you let out without realizing.

She suddenly pulled away and paused. Your hips began rocking, searching for her fingers to continue.

“I told you my rules, baby,” she whispered, placing her forehead against yours.

“Please Rosie, I need you.”

“God you’re cute when you beg,” she slipped her fingers back inside of you and you had to fight to hold in the moan you wanted so badly to release.

“Imagine what everyone out there would think if they knew you were in here begging me to finger you.”

You could feel your legs trembling.

“Go ahead baby, cum for me. Make me proud.”

With one final breath you find your release. Gasping and shaking against Rose’s fingers.

“Good girl,” Rosalie smiles at you, kissing your forehead as she enjoys watching you come undone because of her. Your body feels numb against hers and she uses her weight to keep you up.

She pulls her hand from your pants and places her fingers into her mouth.

“Tastes like sugar,” she says, sucking her fingers clean.

You chuckled, “You can’t even remember what sugar tastes like Ro.”

“Yeah but if I did, I’m sure it would taste like you.”

You rolled your eyes and she laughed. She could be so corny sometimes, it was one of the things you loved most about her.

“God Rosie, who knew you had that in you?” you rhetorically ask pushing your hair out of your face.

“Well I certainly did not but you just kept teasing me and I had to do something about it.”

“Well then maybe I should tease you more often,” you responded. She laughed and gave you a kiss.

“I love you, [Y/N].”

You weren’t any different. You spent most of the weekday’s thinking about the weekend when you would have Embry in front of you again. You called him every night just to hear his voice and your heart ached every time you thought about the distance between the two of you.

You didn’t plan on meeting Embry. In fact, the two of you had met accidentally. You had gone to the movies with one of your best friends and Embry was with Jared, Paul and Quil. The whole movie theater was packed and the only two seats left were next to the three rowdiest boys you had ever met. You ended up dozing off during the movie, your head accidentally falling on to Embry’s shoulder. You looked so peaceful that despite not knowing who you were Embry didn’t want to disturb you.

When the movie ended, he woke you up and that’s when the two of you locked eyes and sealed your fate. When he first told you about the imprint and his shapeshifter abilities you thought he was crazy and refused to speak to him. Though your heart ached to be near him you couldn’t understand anything he was telling you. Two days later, Embry appeared at your doorstep insisting you hear him out. Unable to resist those beautiful brown eyes of his you complied. Lacking any confidence to form words around you, he shifted, nearly scaring you to death. Needless to say, you believed him after that.

What you never expected was to fall for him so fast, but it was hard not too. Embry was loving, caring, honest, loyal and quite possibly the most adorable person you had ever met.

Embry had always made it a point to surprise you at school but this time you thought it was your turn. You had a week break and you decided not to tell Embry so you could see his look of surprise when you showed up on the doorstep.

Pulling up to Emily’s home you could practically feel your heart racing with excitement. You just missed him so much. You watched Emily’s head look out from behind the screen and you saw her eyes widen.

“No way! Y/N? I can’t believe you’re here!” She pulled open the door to run out to you.

“Hi! Yes, I’m here, in the flesh,” you pulled her into a hug and sighed in content at the embrace.

“God we miss you around here, it’s been two months. Graduate already please,” Emily begged and you chuckled.

“I’m almost done I swear, soon I will be here and then you really can’t get rid of me.”

“Trust me, I won’t try.”

“Where’s Em?” You asked and she gave you a knowing smile.

“He should be here soon, he went to the supermarket with the rest of the guys. Does he know you’re coming?”

“Not at all, I thought I would keep it a surprise,” she squealed and pulled you into the home to catch up all the things that have been happening for the last two months.

As Embry was at the store he mind started to wander with thoughts of you again. He couldn’t help it, he just needed to be around you.

“Oh look, Embry is daydreaming about [Y/N] again,” he heard Jared snicker and he turned to glare at him.

“Not funny.”

“Oh please it’s very funny, that’s all you think about,” Paul commented.

“Hey, I have a right to always think about her she’s so far away. At least your imprints are here with you.”

“Relax Em, she’s almost done with school,” Quil informed him and he rolled his eyes.

“I’m done with this conversation.”

The three boys laughed and walked toward the register to pay for the items. Embry’s mind filled with thoughts of you again as they walked back to Emily’s. He wondered what you could be doing, how you could be feeling. Whether you decided to go to class today in pjs or if you actually woke up and got yourself ready. A smile was brought to his lips when he imagined you falling asleep at your desk, drool seeping into the textbook you used for class.

When they got closer to the house, the smell of brownies instantly overloaded their senses.

“Emily’s baking again, today truly is amazing,” Jared commented with a sigh.

Embry could smell something else, something familiar, something like … home. Suddenly it dawned on him, he could smell your scent but he was confused. You weren’t supposed to be here. Coming to an abrupt pause in front of the house, he focused on the scent, trying to see if his mind was playing tricks on him.

“You okay Em?” Quil asked coming to his side.

“[Y/N]...” he whispered. As if you could sense him, your face appeared behind the screen.

“Hey hey hey, look who it is!” Paul yelled happily. You walked outside and immediately Embry dropped the bags and ran to your side pulling you in a hug. He kissed your head, he kissed your left cheek, he kissed your right cheek, he kissed your nose and suddenly he was kissing your lips. You heart did flips, once again feeling complete. This is what home was. No, this was who home was.

“I want a hug too Embry, she’s not just your girl!” Jared joked and Embry sent a glare his way. The three boys laughed and walked inside to give you a moment alone.

“Baby, I missed you so much,” he said kissing your lips again.

“I missed you too,” you responded pulling apart.

“What are you doing here? Not that I’m complaining but shouldn’t you be in school?”

“We had a break, I decided to come see you instead of staying on campus.”

“I could’ve come to you,” he responded cupping your cheek in his hand. You applied more weight to his hand, wanting to feel his skin again yours.

“No I wanted to come,” he kissed you again. You loved this feeling. You loved him.

“How about we ditch these lame-o’s and go home to have a marathon?”

“WE CAN HEAR YOU! STRONG WOLFY HEARING EMBRY!” Jared yelled from inside the house causing you to laugh.

“I would like that,” you whispered to him and he pulled you into a kiss again. You chuckled, he was kissing like he would never get to kiss you again.

“Are you going to kiss me after everything I say?” you asked.

“Maybe,” he responded while giving you another kiss.

“Come on,” you directed interlocking your hand with his.

When the two of you reached Embry’s house you had already figured out what movies you wanted to watch, starting with your favorite. Embry picked you bridal style making you scream, he laughed as he walked the two of you into the house.

“What was that for?” you asked punching him in the chest as he placed you on the sofa.

“Just practicing for the future,” this time it was you who initiated the kiss. He took a seat beside and you cuddled up into his arms.

“I’m so glad you’re home,” he told you.

“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

“So, movies?”

“Definitely movies.”

You smiled contently. You couldn’t have asked for a better life, for a better guy. To be in love and loved by Embry was everything and more. There was nothing you would ever change about it.

It was like any other day when you weren't at work. You weren’t really into the whole YouTube thing but you supported anything that Sam and Colby did. When they had decided to move to California you didn't hesitate to jump at the chance to leave with them. You had decided to do it differently though. You transferred colleges, stayed on campus and found your own way around the city. The boys admired you for it, but mostly they just loved that they could keep you around.

You were in the backyard with Aryia, Corey, Sam, Kat, Kevin and Jake. It was a hot day in the summer sun and you liked to take advantage of the fact that Sam and Colby had a pool. It made you jealous sometimes. Your apartment barely had a kitchen and though Colby had asked you plenty of times to come live with them you couldn't deny you loved the feeling of independence in your small home. 

"Colby, are you coming in with me?" you asked as you stood up from the chair.

"I will in a second, I'm kind of comfortable right now," he responded. You rolled your eyes but nodded anyway. You could feel the eyes on you as you pulled off your shirt. 

"I'm offended you didn't ask me [Y/N],” Sam stated but you knew he was joking.

“Didn't think you would want to leave my darling Katrina's side."

“Forget him, I'm joining you,” Katrina stated standing by your side.

“Hey! I'm right here!" Sam yelled causing the rest of the guys to laugh as you and Kat ran off. 

"Honestly Sam, I'm convinced Kat is going to leave you one day for [Y/N]," Jake joked causing another round of laughter to erupt.

"Colby, watch!" you yelled as you ran from the gate to the pool, doing a flip as you jumped into the water. A smile crept onto his face in admiration as you came above the water with a smile on your face.

"Where'd you learn that?" Colby asked.

"YouTube," you responded with a grin before Katrina gained your attention. 

"I can't believe you’re not dating her,” Aryia acknowledged while shaking his head. Colby looked at him in confusion. 

"Date her? Why would I date her?" he asked.

“Look at her, she's drop dead gorgeous," he responded.

“I don't know, I’ve just never seen her that way. She's my best friend."

"Our best friend," Sam corrected.

"I'm with Aryia, I’ve always thought you two would start dating. I mean, you basically are without the other stuff that comes with it,” Aaron commented.

"Man I would date her in a heartbeat, given the opportunity,” Kevin said. Colby wasn't sure why that comment suddenly made him uncomfortable or why he suddenly couldn't take his eyes off of you as you splashed water in Katrina's face.

“You would have to get through me first, I’ve already got her number,” Aryia teased.

"Oh please, none of you have a chance with her," Corey shot at them.

"That’s right brothers, I’ll be the real winner here. I see her more than the two of you,” Jake stated. 

"First of all, none of you are getting with her. She's like a sister to me and I won't allow her to be tainted by you hooligans,” Sam informed them. All the guys began to laugh besides Colby. He couldn't get their words out of his head and suddenly he was looking at you differently. You weren't the same girl he once knew. At once, all these new and different feelings were coming at him. Did he like you? Did he want to date you? And why did his pants suddenly feel tight at the sight of you in bathing suit? He just couldn't stop these sudden waves of emotions. 

You could feel him staring, and turned your head to send a smile and wave his way. He shifted before returning the gesture. You had decided you waited long enough, you just wanted your best friend to go swimming with you. Angrily, you stepped out of the pool and headed to the circle of boys.

“Colby, are you coming in or not?” You asked him. You tried your best puppy dog face causing more unknown feelings to arise inside of him. 

“Um no, I uh, I’m good, actually,” he answered. You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion quickly noticing the look Sam gave Colby. Suddenly you felt awkward and unwelcomed, had he not wanted to you to come over? Did you intrude on their little get together? 

“Right, well, okay,” you softly said before turning back to head to the pool. 

“What the hell was that?” Sam asked Colby when you were out of earshot. 

“What?” Colby questioned. 

“You’ve never said no to her, what’s going on?” 

“Nothing, I just didn’t feel like going into the pool.”

“Well, I do,” Aryia said aloud, standing to pull off his shirt. 

“Me too,” Kevin and Jake repeated simultaneously. The three of them took off running into the pool, making the two girls shriek as water splashed on them. 

Corey turned to Aaron, “Five bucks Aryia takes her out before Jake.” 

“Deal,” Aaron grinned shaking his hand. 

“What about Kevin?” Sam asked. 

“He’s got no game,” Corey joked. 

Colby watched as you jumped on Jake’s back as he proceeded to attack Aryia. With an ache in chest he decided to head into the house, he suddenly didn’t want to watch you around other guys. He didn’t like the idea of another guy having your attention. He was so used to being the main guy in your life and he wanted to keep it that way. 

A few days had passed without a word from Colby. You had no idea what was going on. It was weird. You and Colby had never let so much as a day go by without texting each other. But you had felt the weirdness since that day at the pool and you weren’t even sure if he wanted you to text him. 

With a groan you threw your head onto your pillow. You had the day off from work today, and it was usually spent with Sam and Colby but you didn’t want to cause any awkwardness. When your phone began to ring, you had hoped it was Colby but it only turned out to be Aryia. 

“Hey A, what’s up?” you answered. 

“Hey [Y/N/N], I was just wondering if you wanted to carpool to the party tonight? Ya know, to save the earth and stuff.”

“Party?” 

“There’s a party at the trap house tonight. Colby didn’t tell you?”

“No actually, it must’ve slipped his mind when we spoke, when did he tell you?” you softly asked, you were hurt but you didn’t want to show it. 

“Last night. So whaddya say? Wanna save the environment with me one carpool at a time?” 

“Sure A, sounds like a plan,” you chuckled at his lame attempt to be funny. 

“Perfect! I promised the guys I’d help them set up though so just bring a change of clothes with you. I’ll pick you up in 30 minutes!”

“30 minutes is not enough time to get ready Aryia!”

“You’ll be fine, you can get ready there!” 

“Fine.”

“Toodles!” He parted. You sighed before screaming into your pillow. What was going on with Colby? 

You began to slowly pack a bag for tonight, despite not being in a partying mood. You figured you could show up in jeans and a shirt then change into your favorite black dress, the one that hugged you in all your favorite places. 

Aryia had arrived exactly when he said he would. When you went down to his car, he gave you a kiss on the cheek as he opened the door for you. It took you by surprise, causing you to blush. That was new, Aryia had never been affectionate with you. 

The drive to the trap house was quick, you didn’t live that far from the boys. Making it easier to visit them whenever you wanted. However, this time you wanted to stay as far away as you could. 

As Aryia drove through the gates you noticed Sam, Colby and Jake placing balloons around the house. You watched as a huge grin appeared on Sam’s face at the sight of you. Immediately it eased some of the nerves you had. 

“Well if it isn’t my second favorite girl in the entire world,” Sam said as he approached. You watched as Aryia stepped out of the car to greet Jake and Colby. 

“It’s me she’s here!” You yelled pulling him into a hug. 

“With Aryia I see.” 

“Yeah he offered me a ride and also informed me about the party that I knew absolutely nothing about Mr. Golbach.”

“What? Colby didn’t tell you?”

“No, he didn’t” Sam furrowed his eyebrows but decided not to comment. 

“Where have you been? I haven’t gone this many days without seeing you since your parents took you on vacation.” 

“Oh god, worst week of my life,” you suffered. “I just took a few days to myself.”

“Well don’t do it again, I don’t like when you’re gone for this long.”

“Sir, yes, sir!” You saluted jokingly and he rolled his eyes. 

“Don’t keep her all to yourself Sam,” you heard Jake scold and you turned to see him walking toward you, Colby slowly following behind. 

“Jakey!” You yelled and he groaned. He absolutely hated that name and you loved to tease him with it. He wrapped you into a hug before threatening to kill you over the nickname. 

Next it was Colby. He looked uncomfortable and you weren’t sure if you should open your arms for a hug but he had beaten you to it. With a smile you pulled him in, but today it felt different. It was like Colby was holding on to you for dear life. Like he wanted to remember what it felt to have your body pressed against his. You suddenly felt your face get hot. You weren’t sure why you were blushing, you never had before but this was a different kind of intimacy. 

You and Colby had always been close. You’ve slept in the same bed before, wore his clothes, sometimes cuddled but this was different. You could feel his breath on your neck and you were sure your knees were going to give out on you any given second. When the two of you pulled apart, you were sure your face was as red as a tomato but the two of you didn’t mutter a single word to each other. 

“Well let’s finish setting up so we can get this party started!” Aryia yelled while fist bumping. You laughed and slowly made your way into the house to greet everyone else. 

Before you knew it the house was decorated as best as it could be and people began to arrive. Looking down at your outfit you had decided now was the perfect time to change. You had made your way towards Colby’s room where you left your bag of clothes. You had been in his room so many times you didn’t need to turn on the light just to change into a dress. Besides, you had enough light from the moon to guide you, you would be quick anyway. 

You had only just taken of your shirt and pants when the door swung open. Colby froze in his tracks, the light from the hallway highlighting your features. 

“I'm sorry,I uh, I- I’ll just go,” Colby stuttered. 

“Wait don’t go,” you responded. “I need someone to zip up my dress for me.” You informed him as you put on the dress. You didn’t feel uncomfortable changing in front of him, you had always done it before. 

Colby stepped inside, closing the door behind him, allowing the moon to be the only source of light that surrounds you. 

“We’re okay right?” You asked him as you turned around. 

“Yeah we’re fine. Why?” You could hear his footsteps approaching you. 

“You’ve been avoiding me ever since the pool party and I’m not sure why.” 

He didn’t respond. You could feel his hand grab the zipper, he slowly pulled up the zipper. His finger grazed along your back, as if purposely trying to feel your skin against his own. Your breathing slowed, the moment between you two felt intense. When he reached the top his fingers lingered for a moment before he removed them. Remembering that he never responded to you, you decided to face him. 

“Colby-”

You were interrupted by the feeling of his lips on yours. On instinct you began to kiss back. Your body suddenly craved his and you instantly knew that all along you were meant to be with him. He was your one and only, you weren’t sure why it took you this long to figure it out. 

When he pulled away, he looked at you before tucking a piece of hair behind your hair. 

“My window frames you like a Monet. If tomorrow we go back to being just friends, I'll think about the way you look tonight.” 

“Colby, I don’t want to go back to being friends. I never thought about us as an us until today and now I can’t stop thinking about it.”

“Come join us outside,” George offered. You looked up at him and smiled. You had to admit, he always seemed like the cuter twin to you. He wasn’t as loud and mischievous as Fred but he had his moments. He was sweet like sugar and had a heart of gold.

“Yeah come join your two best friends and watch us do crazy stuff,” Fred encouraged.

“As much as a I really really really love you guys, I just want to stay in today and read,” you informed him and he pouted.

“Well then I’ll join you,” George stated while jumping over the couch to lay across it. He sent you a wink causing you to slightly blush.

“George! I thought we were going to trick the fourth years into eating puking pasties,” Fred gave him an incredulous look while getting closer to his face.

“Eh, sounds boring. I’d rather stay in and … read?”

“You want to read? Unbelievable! I can’t believe my brother is leaving me for my best friend,” Fred huffed and began stomping out of the common room.

“She’s my best friend too, Fred!” George yelled at him. Fred had slammed the door in response causing you and George to laugh.

“You didn’t have to stay in with me George,” you told him. He looked at you and smiled.

“I know I didn’t have to but I wanted to,” you began to blush again and attempted to hide your face. Suddenly George jumped from the sofa and ran upstairs.

“George?” you called out softly but received no response. You huffed and stood up to head back to your dorm. You had no idea what you had done but you hadn’t expected George to run away from you.

“Where are you going?” you heard him softly ask the moment your feet touched the steps. You turned to face him, not expecting him to be right behind you.

“I thought- nevermind, I’m not going anywhere.” George smiled and jumped onto the sofa causing you to chuckle.

“Come sit with me here, I feel so lonely,” George pouted. You rolled your eyes but obliged. He immediately pulled you into a hug causing you to involuntarily nuzzle yourself into him. It wasn’t uncommon for the two of you to be cuddling. You didn’t think much of it because friends do that sometimes. Right?

“I went upstairs to get some candy!” He exclaimed.

“I thought we were going to read?”

“That’s boring,” he responded, emptying his pockets full of anything he was able to find.

“Is that crystallised pineapple? That’s my fa-”

“Your favorite, I know.”

You smiled at George and grabbed them out of his hand. You stuffed a few of them into your mouth and he chuckled as he watched you eat them. He continued to gaze at you with a lopsided grin.

“What?” you asked.

“Nothing, nothing. Just enjoying watching you eat the candy. Did you know that you do this thing where you scrunch up your nose when you like something?” He asked, causing you to subconsciously cover your nose.

“No I didn’t,” you answered, suddenly feeling insecure over it. He laughed and pulled your hand away from your face.

“Don’t cover your face, it's cute. It was just something I noticed.”

“Wanna know something I noticed?” you asked, picking up a chocolate frog and breaking off a piece for him which he gladly ate from your hand.

“What?” he asked with his mouth full of the chocolate.  

“Well I don’t know if you noticed but you and Fred do have a feature that sets the two of you apart,” you stopped to take a bite of the chocolate and George opened his mouth for more which you fed to him. “You have a birthmark on your neck, that is not super noticeable but it does exist.”

“MY CHOCOLATE CHIP!”

You jumped at his sudden outburst and he laughed at you.

“Jesus George!”

“I’m sorry, [Y/N/N]. I just got excited because no one has ever noticed him before. He’s like my best friend.”

He put one hand on his birthmark and one on his heart.

“I thought I was your best friend?”

“Well I- I mean you are- I just meant-” you put your hand on top of his.

“George, I’m joking,” he began to blush from the sudden contact.

“Okay, what shall we eat next?” George asked, trying to take the attention away from him. You began to look through the sweets and try to find one that you had never tried before.

“Glacial Snow Flakes!” You exclaimed holding the box over your head. ‘“I’ve never had them but I always wanted to try it.”

“You’ve never had these? Unbelievable! Open your mouth,” he demanded. You rolled your eyes but obliged nonetheless. He placed one of the snowflakes into your mouth and you almost moaned at how good it tasted. It completely melted onto your tongue, you had never tasted anything more sweet.

“I can’t believe I’ve never had one of these before, they’re amazing.”

“I know!” he replied, eating one of his own.”

“Do you have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans?”

“Is that even a question? Of course I do!” He pulled it out and dramatically posed with it. You gave him an applause and the two of you started to laugh again. It was nice to spend time alone with George. You felt like you hadn’t had a lot of time to do it recently. Life just felt too busy this year.

“5 knuts says I can eat a bean without cringing,” You challenged and he smirked.

“Oh you’re on!”

The two of you place one bean in each hand. On the count of three, the two of you ate. Your mouth began to burn, you could taste a slightly metallic and bitter flavor but you held it in you to not cringe. You noticed George’s mouth twitch and it immediately made you excited. You swallowed your piece and you watched and George began to cringe.

“I WIN!” You yelled immediately jumping up and down, doing a little dance.

“Gross! I had earwax, do you know how sour it tasted!”

“I don’t care! I win, you lose! I had soap and it was bitter Georgie. Just admit your defeat.”

“I will not admit a loss to someone who is shorter than me.” This caused you to immediately stop and stick out your tongue at home.

“I am not short!”

“I’ll prove it to ya,” he replied while getting up to stand in front of you. You felt your breath hitch. You couldn’t explain it. Before this year you were to be near him without a problem, and suddenly his presence just seemed to take your breath away. He had become the light in your life without ever realizing it.

Catching you off guard, George suddenly grabbed you in his arms spinning you around. You screamed and laughed as the two of you spun in a circle. You began to  wrap your legs around him to keep yourself from falling or losing grip. When George came to a stop, neither of you let go. You held on to each other tightly as if letting go meant losing it everything. Before you knew it, George’s lips were on yours. It caught you off guard but it didn’t stop you from kissing back.

Your heart was pounding. It was like gravity was pulling the two of you together. For the first time in your life, everything felt right. In that moment you knew that no matter what happens in life you would always remember this moment. You will always remember what it felt like to be in his arms, to be held so tightly like he needed you to survive. You had never felt cared for in such a simple yet marvelous gesture.

When the two of you pulled apart he smiled at you like you were his entire world and the truth was, you were.

“I wanted to do that ever since I met you.”

“I’m so glad you did, George,” he gave you another peck on the lips and you smiled up at him.

“More candy and cuddles then?”

“Definitely!” You dropped down from his embrace and went back to the sofa. “Well are you going to join me then?” You asked, patting the space next you. He smiled and sat down and you immediately moved into his embrace. You were content here.

You knew that you had more sweet memories like this to come and you couldn’t wait for it.

He could remember the night clear as day. It was a perfect cliche. A candlelight scenario and a kiss he couldn’t forget. He had never been so enamored by someone before you came along. You had brought out a side of him he didn’t know he had. He felt rebellious, like a teenager, knowing he shouldn’t be doing what he was. It was such a rush. Like a natural high just being around you.

But he knew it was too good to be true. That much you made pretty clear to him when he attempted to turn your friendship into something more.

“So I have something I want to ask you…” he softly said as the two of you laid down in Griffin’s guest room. The sound of the party was muffled by the closed door. It wasn’t a surprise that the two of you had retreated away from the party.

“Shoot for it,” you replied as you placed your head on his chest. He slowly began to play with your hair causing you to close your eyes.

“I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me.”

Your eyes shot open. Suddenly you were panicking about where this conversation was going to go. You instantly removed your head from his chest

“Like a date as in to potentially be in a relationship with each other?”

“Um yeah. I just- I really like you and I want-”

“Sam stop,” you interrupted. “Please don’t finish that sentence. I-I can’t date you. You shouldn’t have told me that. You just- you can’t like me, okay?”

“No, no not okay. You can’t tell me that I’m not allowed to like you [Y/N]. I mean for fuck’s sake why wouldn’t I like you. You’re perfect to me.”

“Sam please, don’t do this.”

“What’s so wrong about the thought of us dating? We just kissed like it was no big deal.”

“Because I thought we were just having fun. Sam, there will never be an us and you should’ve just kept your feelings to yourself. We’re better off as friends,” you got up from the bed to leave the room but like usual, Sam wanted to have the last word causing you to freeze the moment he began to speak.

“You’re wrong, I think we could have something great. You’re just scared to admit that you have feelings for me. I’m not stupid, you’re just not bold enough to tell me the truth.”

“Fuck you, Sam.”

You pulled open the door and slammed it behind you as you left the room. You were so angry. How could Sam be so selfish and ruin something so perfect? Your friendship was fine as it was, why did he have to go and catch feelings?

As you stumbled down the hallway you could feel the tears threatening to leave your eyes. Because you knew that deep down, you would’ve done anything at the chance to date Sam. To be his one and only. To give him the love you knew he deserved. But a part of you also knew that dating Sam meant potentially losing him if things went sideways and you weren’t prepared to deal with that fact. You knew it made you selfish but you didn’t care. Sam was just way too important to lose and you didn’t know if you could survive without him in your life.

“[Y/N]!” Someone yelled causing you to turn your head in their direction.

“Hey Mike,” you said immediately placing a smile on your face and wiping your eyes.

“Is everything okay?” He asked and you nodded, barely able to form any sentences. You could feel your head pounding with every bass drop that played throughout the speakers. You just needed to leave.

Movement down the hallway tore your attention away from his. You watched as Sam walked out the room.

“I’m gonna go home, okay?” You told Mike.

“Do you need a ride?” he asked.

“No I’m good. Just enjoy the party for the two of us.”

“Okay, but text me to let me know you got home safe.”

“Sir, yes sir!” you joked. You gave him a quick hug before making your way towards the door. You had to do your best to sneak out because you were pretty positive that if any of your other friends saw you trying to leave you would’ve been stopped.

You didn’t know where this placed yours and Sam’s friendship. You just wanted everything to go back to normal but you knew deep down that wasn’t going to happen.

Sam didn’t expect weeks to go by without seeing you. He didn’t know how to be himself anymore. The two of you used to see each other at least every other day. Now he just found himself staring at the ceiling. He thought he was going insane. He’d spend his days scrolling on your page and watching your posts. He wondered who you were with and how you’ve been.

Everyone was beginning to worry. It was painfully obvious that Sam was hurting and you were keeping your distance. The only issue was that no one knew why.

Sam paced in room. He was debating on whether or not he should call you. He didn’t know if you wanted to hear from him or if you’d yell at him again. In his brain, no matter what he did you’d always seem to stay. There was no getting rid of you. No magic, no doctor or mechanic could fix a heartbroken brain. A brain that could only replay images of you. It was madness because he knew that fact was that he couldn’t move on.

A knock on his door pulled him away from his thoughts. His heart was pounding, a part of him hoped it was you but he knew it wasn’t. Swinging open his door he was faced with a cheery looking Mike.

“Howdy partner!” Mike yelled causing Sam to flinch.

“Um hey Mike. What are you doing here?” He asked as he stepped to the side to let him into the apartment. What he didn’t expect was the rest of his friend group to be following behind.

“Wait, what? Where’d you guys come from?” He questioned as everyone walked in and took a seat on his couch.

“We decided that enough is enough,” Tara said while folding her arms.

“What are you talking about?”

“No more sulking, just go and talk to [Y/N] already,” Colby demanded.

“It’s not that simple guys. I’m sure she doesn’t want to talk to me.”

“Bullshit Sam! She’s spent every day with Kevin, Aryia and I because she doesn’t know what to do with herself without you. She loves you man, she’s just scared of losing you and getting hurt,” Mike told him.

“And believe me, as much as I love her, I don’t know if I can sit through watching Beauty and the Beast again,” Kevin said.

“If she’s spent every day with you wouldn’t she be suspicious that you three couldn’t hang out with her today?”

“We asked Griffin to distract her tonight,” Aryia answered.

“Look I won’t call myself an expert on love but you two seem to really love each other and I think it’s important for the two of you to work whatever you went through out. You’re going insane Sam, you barely leave the house and you smell like shit,” Jake stated.

“HEY!”

“I mean he’s right, you’re kinda stinky,” Corey agreed.

“Things will work out Sam, but if you’re not willing to try then it will never change,” Devyn informed him.

“Okay guys I get it, I will speak to her. Can you guys go now? So I can figure out a plan.”

“Well you don’t have to be so rude about it but sure,” Reggie told him causing everyone to laugh.

“[Y/N] is probably going to come back to our place tonight so make sure you come by,” Mike made sure to tell Sam as he stood up. Everyone gave Sam a hug and wished him good luck as they left.

Sam sighed as he sat back down onto the couch. His friends made it seem like it was so simple to talk to you but it wasn’t. He wanted more and you didn’t. There was no coming back from that. Things would never be the same even if you guys started talking again.

About twenty minutes had passed before Sam heard another knock on the door. He groaned before getting up to open it again.

“What do you - oh, [Y/N] …” he was frozen. He didn’t expect you to show up at his house. He just thought it was Mike again. But seeing you standing there, almost felt surreal. 

“I’m sorry, I-I shouldn’t be here,” you stuttered while turning on your heels.

“Wait…” Sam grabbed your arm forcing you to look at him. “Please don’t go.” You nodded and followed him inside without saying a word.

You took a seat on the sofa and Sam followed suit, sitting right beside you. You suddenly laid your head on his shoulder out of sheer habit. You could’ve sworn you heard Sam’s breath hitch at the movement. You felt so content, so at peace. Like nothing or no one in the world could ever harm you. It was as if you were made to exist in a world that was purely just you and Sam.

Sam didn’t know how to feel. A part of him was happy that you were here with him but another part of him was angry at you for showing up and pretending like you didn’t hurt his feelings. Your words replayed in his head like a broken record now that you were sitting beside him. He didn’t deserve the way you treated him. But mostly, he felt like he wasn’t worthy of your love.

“Why are you here?” He asked you after his thoughts had settled.

“I was out with Griffin today. He wanted to go grab lunch at his favorite restaurant place and he brought me along since I was the only one who enjoyed eating there. For the first time in weeks I had found myself kind of enjoying myself. I was enjoying that I was able to leave the house and get some fresh air. Then Xepher called, and Griffin’s face flashed with love. Suddenly, I couldn’t stop thinking about you and where I went wrong and how much I really fucked things up…” You sat up to face him.

“Sam, what I’m trying to say is that you were right. That night of the party when you accused me of having feelings it was true. Sam it’s always been you. But I didn’t want to date you, I couldn’t date you because dating you meant potentially losing you and I couldn’t lose you. I know it’s selfish but fuck Sam I’m very selfish when it comes to you because you’re my everything and I don’t know if I could ever live without you in my life. I lov-” you were cut off by the feeling of Sam’s lips on yours.

Everything felt right, everything felt perfect. You didn’t want to stop but you knew you had to catch your breath. You placed your head on his as the two of you stared at each other to slow down your breathing. Suddenly, you laughed then he laughed and before you knew it the two of you were in a full fit of laughter.

“We just kissed,” Sam said in between laughs.

“I know... it was weird but a good weird,” you chuckled.

“I love you [Y/N].”

“Yeah, we set up?”

“Of course.”

You watched as Sam turned back around to face everyone and you quickly averted your eyes to not raise suspicion. Colby joined your side while placing a kiss to your forehead. You smiled up at him. He was such a blessing in disguise.

“Everyone grab your last slice, we’re gonna get started in like 5 minutes,” Sam had informed the group. You looked toward your boyfriend with a puppy dog face and he chuckled.

“What?” Colby asked with a smile on his face. He adored you. Everything about you drove him crazy.

“Get me another slice of pizza, please babe,” you pouted and he rolled his eyes before nodding. “I love you!” you yelled as he walked to the kitchen.

“Man, you got him WHIPPED,” Kevin remarked making everyone laugh.

“Fuck you Kevin!” Colby shot back as he sat down next to you with a slice of pizza. He took a bite and handed it to you. You gave him a kiss before biting into the pizza yourself.

“I wish someone loved me as much as [Y/N] and Colby love each other,” Jake fake sobbed into Tara as she smacked him on the head.

“I’m literally your girlfriend, Jake,” Tara rolled her eyes causing everyone to laugh.

Colby began to play with your fingers as everyone finished eating their food. You had never pegged Colby as the affectionate type but he always seemed more at ease when his skin was touching yours.

“Alright! Welcome back to another blind hide and seek guys!” Sam said into his camera as everyone sat around the sofa.

“Hi,” Jake waved.

“We got so many people this game is going to take six years,” Sam continued, completely ignoring him.

Sam began to explain the logistics of the game, everyone making comments whenever they could. The rules were simple, everyone hides in one spot except for the couch and you can only move once.

“Alright, I'm gonna go out there. I’m gonna give you five minutes on the clock.”

The minute the door closed behind Sam everyone jumped up to find a hiding spot.

“Guys don’t forget to record yourselves if you’re not with other people,” you informed them as they started to disappear throughout the place.

“Babe, Kevin and Mike have a smart plan to hide in the bathroom. Wanna join?” Colby asked.

“No girls allowed!” Mike yelled.

“Yeah, no girls allowed!” Kevin repeated.

“Guys, C’mon it’s [Y/N]. She’s barely a girl,” Colby defended.

“Cole!” you yelled punching him in the stomach. You heard laughter fill the small apartment.

“Can you hold my phone for me? My pants are too tight today and I’m afraid it might fall out.” Colby asked while handing you his phone. Mike and Kevin moved closer and dragged Colby away before you even had the chance to respond, leaving you stuck with his phone

You had decided to join Cassie near the plant. You knew you were probably gonna get caught instantly but that didn’t bother you. You just enjoyed spending time with your friends.

“I’ll go under the stairs and you go behind the plant,” you directed. Cassie had fit herself perfectly in the corner. You had managed to lower yourself as much as you could under the stairs. The good thing about this was that Sam was blindfolded. So there was still a chance that you wouldn’t be found.

“In position, he’ll never find me here,” Cassie spoke into the camera. You held two thumbs and snickered as the camera landed on you.

“Say Hi, [Y/N]!”

“Hi [Y/N]!” The both of you chuckled at your own joke. You could hear Aryia and Jake making noise in the filming room and you rolled your eyes. They were such guys.

Silence immediately filled the apartment as Sam gave a warning knock on the door. You wanted to snicker as you watched Sam attempt to touch the counter top for the forgotten Nerf gun.

Sam began to take steps closer and closer towards the stairs. You placed your hand on your mouth in hopes that he wouldn’t hear you breathing.

“Why would this be out like this?” Sam asked himself as he walked around the glass table. You watched as he felt through the plant for any sign of a person. He shot the gun and you flinched on reaction.

“Did I just shoot a tree?”

He shot again, this time hitting Cassie. She screamed and you wanted to laugh but you held it back.

“Damn I really thought this was going to work,” Cassie remarked.

“Is that Cassie?”

“Yeah,” she answered.

Sam had begun to walk away from you and Cassie widened her eyes. You thought you might actually have a shot at winning. You were in the clear until Colby’s phone began to buzz. Sam immediately aimed the gun at you and shot. It hit you in the chest and you shrieked.

“Who was that? Who did I hit?”

“Me, Sam.”

“[Y/N]? Why didn’t you turn off your phone?”

“It’s Colby’s. I’m gonna kill him!”

Sam and Cassie laughed, making you groan as you threw yourself onto the sofa. Colby’s phone began to buzz consistently in your pocket and you pulled it out to see who was calling.

BRENDA

You read on the phone causing you to furrow your eyebrows. You had never heard Colby, nor Sam, or anyone for that matter ever mention a Brenda. You decided to answer the phone.

“Hello?” you softly spoke.

You could hear breathing on the other end of the phone but not a word was spoken.

“Is someone there?” you asked, hoping for a response. The person on the other line decided to end the phone call and you were left to stare at a blank screen.

“Everything okay?” Cassie asked and you nodded your head. Who was Brenda and why was she calling Colby’s phone at 11 at night? Your mind was swirling, filled with so many negative scenarios in your head. Your train of thought was broken up by the sound of Jake screaming.

“I think Jake was caught,” Cassie chuckled. You laughed along with her and decided to forget about Brenda. You could bring it up to Colby later. You watched as Sam walked out the room with Jake following behind while holding the camera.

“Oh hey Cassie, hey [Y/N],” Jake waved.

“This is no time for hello’s Jake!” Sam scolded.

“Oh shut up Sam,” you teased. As Sam and Jake walked into the room Colby’s phone buzzed again. With a sigh, you checked his phone to see that it was Brenda again. You were starting to become irritated. Why was this Brenda girl so persistent on speaking with Colby?

You played with the thought of opening his phone to read the message. You and Colby always had an open door policy. You promised to be honest with each other no matter what, given his career and lifestyle. For the most part, the two of you always were. You had no reason to think otherwise.

Until now.

You had this feeling in your stomach that something was wrong. You had finally made up your mind, you were going to check his phone. Putting his passcode into the phone, you began to read his messages from Brenda.

BRENDA

Hey baby I miss you

BRENDA

I tried calling you but I think your girlfriend picked up

BRENDA

I wonder how she’ll feel knowing you were with me last night instead of her

You began glaring at the phone. Colby had told you he was with Corey, Jake and Jackson last night. You kept wondering why he would lie to you. You would’ve preferred he’d tell you the truth so you could save yourself the heartbreak and move on instead of cheating on you.

“[Y/N]? You okay?” You heard Cassie ask. You held back your tears as you looked up at her.

“Peachy!” You said a bit more enthusiastic than expected. You heard a door slam and you jumped. You saw Colby walking out of Sam’s room. He smiled at you before taking the space beside you.

“Sam found me, he locked Kevin and Mike in the bathroom,” Colby informed the two of you.

“Oh he’s definitely finding them,” Cassie said while laughing.

“Yeah no doubt,” you responded attempting to act like everything was fine. You were trying your best to avoid talking to Colby while all his friends were around.

“You okay baby?” Colby asked while kissing your forehead. You softly nodded, avoiding eye contact with him.

Colby was about to say something again when he was interrupted by Kevin and Mike jumping on him.

“WE HAD A PLAN COLBY BROCK!” Kevin yelled, while Mike ruffled his hair.

“WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?” Colby shot back. Jake and Sam found their way out of Sam’s room slamming the door behind them.

“My room is off limits now,” Sam yelled into the apartment. Another buzz on Colby’s phone, that you had still yet to give back, immediately pulled your attention away from the guys.

BRENDA

Come on babe, I miss your skin against mine

You bit your lip so hard you began to bleed. You couldn’t take it anymore, you had to speak with Colby. You forcefully pushed Kevin and Mike off of him and pulled Colby into Sam’s room.

“Don’t do the nasty in Sam’s bed, take that to your own house!” you heard Mike yell as you shut the door.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Colby asked.

“Who the fuck is Brenda?”

“Oh,” Colby scratched the back of his head nervously.

“Answer me now, Colby. Are you cheating on me?”

“Look [Y/N], I didn’t mean for this to happen. She just sort of appeared in my life.”

“She just sort of appeared in your life? What the fuck is she? A wizard?”

“I didn’t mean for you to find out like this-”

“You what? You wanted me to catch her in the bed with you instead? God Colby I thought we were honest with each other. You could’ve told me you didn’t love me anymore instead of hurting me like this.”

“But I do love you!”

“OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN’T COLBY IF YOU’VE BEEN SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE ELSE, WE’RE DONE!” You threw his phone at him and he dodged it, causing it to land on the bed.

“[Y/N] I’ll end it with her, I want you. Please don’t do this.”

“Well I don’t want you, plus you didn’t think about wanting me when you were with her so don’t start now.”

You turned and opened the door to be faced with silence. Mike, Cassie, Kevin, who were now joined by Aryia, were all staring at you. You shut the room door behind you and walked toward the front door.

“I-I uh, I have to go,” you said quickly.

“[Y/N] …” Cassie whispered but you ignored her and continued your walk to the front door. Suddenly a foot shot out at you causing you to jump.

“Don’t leave please,” Reggie whispered from under the chair, in an attempt to keep himself still hidden from Sam.

“Bye Reg,” you replied stepping over his foot and out into the hallway. You were almost at the elevator when you heard the door close again and you knew it had to be Colby.

“Don’t go!” you heard him yell but you ignored him and continued your walk.

“[Y/N] I’m serious just look at me.” His hand grabbed your shoulder and spun you around. You could see Kevin behind him with a camera making you angrier.

“You think I’m fucking vlog material Colby? Fuck you, I don’t wan’t-”

“It’s a prank!”

“-to be on camer-” you paused. “It’s a what?”

“It’s a prank. There is no Brenda, there never was.” You crossed your arms.

“Prove it, FaceTime her.” Colby chuckled and called said person on FaceTime. Suddenly, the screen filled with Corey’s face and you rolled your eyes.

“Hola, yo soy Brenda!” Corey said with a laugh.

“I could KILL the two of you right now,” you told them causing them to laugh.

“I’m sorry babe, it was all Corey’s idea. Sam set up cameras in his room and in the living room,” Colby gave you a hug and you hugged him back.

“That’s wasn’t funny Corey!”

“I thought it was pretty funny, I wanted you to respond to my text messages so bad!”

“Fuck you!” you replied hanging up the phone on him. You looked at Kevin.

“Did you know about this?” you glared and he shook his head.

“No idea, I swear!” Kevin told you.

“I’m gonna kill Sam too. Don’t ever do that again Colby.”

“I promise I won’t,” he said, giving you a kiss to which you happily accepted.

“Get a room!” Kevin teased and the both of you flicked your middle fingers at him.

“I love you.”
