076; it's always her

third person.

"sorry, sorry." corbyn said, disrupting his best friend's conversation as he walked into their studio, clearly out of breath as he threw his belongings onto the floor and sat down beside daniel, "sorry."

"three hours late," jonah nodded, "it's fine."

"i slept in," corbyn sighed, running his fingers through his hair as daniel and jack glanced at the boy's neck before looking towards each other.

"yeah, who with?" daniel laughed.

"oh my god, did you get attacked by an animal or something?" zach asked him, "those cannot be hickeys."

"can we not," corbyn frowned, pulling his hoodie up to hide his neck as he looked at them all, "we're here about the album not-"

"we wanna know who you hooked up with," jack interrupted him with a smile growing on his face, "is that why you left the meal so early?" 

"can we just-"

"who'd you fuck?" jonah folded his arms as he tilted his head, watching corbyn roll his eyes before he placed his phone on the table.

"mollie," he mumbled, watching their smiles drop before they collectively let out a sigh and turned their heads back to the plan in front of them, "what now?"

"don't you think you're.. i don't know how to say it," zach shrugged.

"playing with her feelings," jonah added on as the boy furrowed his eyebrows while looking between them both.

"no because we're just-"

"they're talking about harper." daniel said, "that's what they mean."

"okay so what mollie doesn't know yet? she's got her own things to worry about than someone i know," he explained, "i'd rather she focused on herself."

"then you need to end things with her for good," zach mentioned, "you can't lead on two girls, you moved past this ages ago."

"which girl do you want?" daniel looked at him.

"mollie obviously," corbyn scoffed, "it's always her."

"then tell harper you're strictly just friends," jack said as he folded his arms, "and wait for mollie."

"but mollie said it could be months."

"then end it with her completely if you can't wait that long," jonah told him, "but don't have both of them at the same time, that's not good for anyone."

"but if you get with harper they aren't you just using her until mollie is ready?" zach titled his head in confusion, "right?"

"no i wouldn't do that." corbyn shook his head, "if i got with harper, not that i will, it would be because i had feelings for her, which i don't."

"so what are you gonna do about it all?"

"just see how things go" he nodded as he picked up a guitar, watching the rest of them sigh and shake their heads before deciding to change the conversation.

"anyway, the album." jonah mentioned, "let's try think because we have a promo thing on friday in la."

"we all have to go for that?" daniel asked.

"well it is an interview daniel," jack rolled his eyes, "so yes."

"focus guys," jonah laughed slightly, "we've been slacking we need to get things organised."
