The Boy Next Door

5. Today's The Day

The light turns on and I see the Rowland brothers! A big chill went through my body as I still stare at them mouth open in awe that they saw/heard that. “Hey guys!” Mark exclaims, “What are y’all doing here?” “Hey bro we’re here to surprise you!!” Hunter says with a dull excitement. “Surprise!” Brandon says sarcastically. “Hi I’m y/n” I said. They both greeted me and welcomed me to the tour and didn’t question what they just walked in on. We got our stuff ready and went to the Uber that would take us to the meeting place. As we’re all trying to fit Mark rests his hand on my thigh and we drove away. As we pull up I see two other boys and Jessica, the amazing and talented photographer. We get out and I am bombarded by all these boys. Who is the blonde and attractive one and who’s the other dude? We get on the bus and I pull out my phone to check the time. I see that I got tagged in a post by @musershaderoomofficial. I open it to see them talking about how I got added to the tour. Maybe I should just try to get some sleep. I rest my head on Mark’s shoulder and pass out almost instantly. I wake up to the sound of a camera shutter. I open my eyes and see everyone taking a photo of Mark and I sleeping together. They’re all talking about “friend goals” and arguing about some ship names. I heard the word “Choey” thrown around in there and looked around. I realized I haven’t even met the two other boys. Mark wakes up from me moving and smiles when he sees me. I say “Good morning ba- Mark” Whoop that almost slipped… I get up and sit next to the two boys. “Hey, I’m y/n” I say. “I’m Joey” says the brunette “I’m Charles” says the blondie. His voice was absolutely soothing. I look at both of them and smile. Mark comes over and says “Hey I see you’ve meet Choey” “Huh?” I said “Is that their ship name? Like are they dating?” Joey kinda intervenes and says “Nonononono it’s just like a friendship thing.” As I look over at Charles I notice he’s been staring at me. I blush and look down extremely self aware that this super cute boy is giving me the heart eyes. Mark walks away and sits with Ashton and Brandon. I talk with Charles as Joey plays on his phone. He tells me all about him and we talk about me and I want to tell him about Mark and I so bad but I’m afraid I might scare him off. After hours of talking to Charles; Hunter, alone, comes up to us and sits down. “So boys what’s up?” “Oh just bonding, I mean after all, I love to talk to nice people” I start to blush knowing he’s talking about me, but I keep it discreet. Hunter pulls out his phone and puts his earbuds in. These damn phones, the only person that I can talk to for more than 3 minutes is Charles, I kinda like that. It’s now 8 am and you look out the window to see a beautiful sunrise. Charles notices it too. As I look out the window I see the reflection of someone I haven’t noticed. I look over the seat and see…
