Adopted By All Time Low

Chapter 38

I decided to lay back out in the sun and put my phone under the towel so it wouldn't shut off from being too hot.

Zack, Alex, Rian, and Jack were whispering about something, and Rian and Zack slipped out of the pool. They left the back door open and I heard the front one shut a few seconds later. Andy went to go check and see if Taylor was alright, Jay went to go take a shower, Ashley had a date, Jake and CC decided to go pick up some beer for later, and Jinxx went with them to make sure they didn't drink it all on the way home. I heard footsteps and I saw Casey come into view.

"Hey, man! What's up?" Mike called.

"Nothing much. You ready to put those drums together?" He asked.

"Yeah. Lemme dry off quick." He said as he got out of the pool and grabbed a towel. Mike walked towards his house and Casey followed. I put my other earbud in so I could block everyone out. I just wanted to listen to music and relax while I could, because I somehow ended up with plans.

The next song that came up was Stay Away From My Friends. I put it in my queue because there's so many little things I love in the song. Like the piano bits, Mike's percussion skills, the backing vocals, the guitar bits, when the word 'oh' is sung a bunch of times, the list is endless.

I just sat there and enjoyed my music as I went through everything that happened the last six months. It still amazes me at how lucky I was. Out of everyone these guys could've adopted, they chose me. I still wonder why, even though Alex already explained.

They're still young and they brought on the responsibility of taking care of a child. Plus I was a huge fan and probably annoyed them by spending the first couple of weeks up their asses.

I was a little tired from earlier, not that I did much. I could sleep outside and get a tan, but I had a feeling the guys would put a roly poly in my belly button, so I got up.

"Blake! Where are you going?" Alex called from the pool. I slipped his cut off over my head and picked up my shorts and towel. I slipped my phone between my bathing suit bottoms and my hip. A few people were staring at me, probably because it looked like I didn't have pants on. While Alex and Jack were facing me, Jaime, Gabe, and Tony were teasing Vic, Kellin and Justin were sending me kisses and play fighting, and Jesse and Jack were shaking their heads at them. I rested my hand on my hip.

"Downstairs so I can take a nap." I said.

"Oh, alright. Can you bring us some beer?" He asked.

"Why can't you get it?"

"We're wet." He laughed. I read Jaime's lips and it looked like he said 'so is she.' Jesus Christ, these dirty minded boys are gonna be the death of me.

"Fine. What to you want?" I asked.

"All we have is bud light."

"Alright." I said as I started walking towards the house. I laid my towel out in the sun so it could dry. I set my phone and my shorts on the counter as I went into the fridge and pulled out ten beer bottles. I thought of ways I could carry these without making two trips. I put one on either side of my hips, seven were in my arms and I picked the last one up with my mouth. I carefully walked out there and the guys laughed when they saw me.

Jesse grabbed the beer out of my mouth and I told them to shut up. Alex, Jack, Kellin, Jack, Gabe, Jaime, and Tony grabbed the bottles out of my hands. I handed Justin his and winked at Vic as he grabbed the other from my hip.

"Night, love you boo!" Alex and Jack yelled.

"Love you too, guys!" I yelled back. I went to the laundry room and turned down the stairs. It wasn't even five o'clock yet, I was just tired. I sat down on the couch and looked for my charger while I put Mean Girls on. The guys had an outlet that was built into the table so I was going to charge my phone.
