Zion's POV
~~~
"Let's take a 5." Brandon says to us as he continues going over the moves with Edwin. I just sat on the floor, fanning off myself because we've been rehearsing for what felt like days. I leaned against the mirror and tucked my knees in a pit. I pull out my phone from my left pocket to go on Snapchat. "How the fuck is it 7 already?" Nick asks sitting next to me, also taking out his phone. "Time flies on the weekends." I reply to him. He nods. I truly believe that's a straight fact. I scroll down my 'Chat' list and looked for specific people who's stories I wanted to watch. I started with Brandon because I can see myself in it. I open it and watched myself as I was just dozing off to sleep. "Get them Z's in Z." it read as the caption. I know he thought that was so funny. I swipe off of the story and went to view Edwin's. I tapped through videos of him watching some movie, his popcorn, him and Cameron and then finally, a teaser to our dance. He captioned it "Monday Night!! Be ready 😈" to promote people to come watch us dance. I tap the left side of the screen to view his snap with Cameron again. It was a video of her sleeping. What's with these children filming people while they slept? I tap for the next snap. It was a pic of them both together. I shoved Nick to make him look. He does. "Ohhhh!" He says rubbing his hands together smiling. We both looked at Edwin who had no idea what is happening. He was cleaning up the choreography. Fine by me because he's making our 5 minute break into a 20 minute break. "Is he cuffed?" I ask Nick hoping that he may know something about it. He looks at me with a 'Huh!?' look on his face. "Edwin? Our Edwin? Cuffed?" He asks me being extra asf. What is he on? "Nah, the Edwin behind the couch." I say sarcastically referring back to the snap I was showing him. "Oh. About to sayyy." He says laughing. This guy man. I start to look for Sydney's name to see if she had anything posted. "But for real though." Nick starts catching my attention again. "It's pretty complicated with them. They don't know what they want." Nick says with all seriousness. I nod and looked back to my phone. I see that Sydney did post to her story. I opened it giving her another view. It was her filming a pool before she flipped the camera showing her bathing suit. Where tf was she. Everyone that lives around us has a pool, I really couldn't tell who's pool she was at. I tap to see the next snap. It just brought me to Tyler's story meaning that Sydney only posted the one video. "Alright Guys!" Brandon calls to us all. Nick gets up and Austin returns with chips from upstairs. "Edwin's seems like he has it." He says. "Let's try it all together. Full out." He directs us. I put my phone back into my pocket and got up. I walk to my position. "Oh and guys." Brandon starts to say again. Everyone is all ears. "I've added some transitions. I'll go over them after." I adds to make us aware of what was coming up. "Ok." Austin answers. Brandon starts the music again.

Cameron's POV
~~~
Sunday night, family night. After we've all eaten, we usually talk, play board games, watch a movie and shit like that. Today, movie. I get up to head upstairs but my parents stop me. "Where are you off to?" My Dad asks me, looking up from the TV. I really didn't want to stay downstairs with my family but my parents forced me to stay. "Around this time next year, you'll be gone for University." My Mom says to me like every time I choose to study over spending quality time with the people I'm supposed to love the most. My Dad nods in agreement to my mother's previous statement. "If I fail tomorrow's test—." I stop myself before I can say something I may regret. "Finish Cameron." Riley says with a grin to instigate before taking out his phone. I shake my head and sat back down beside my Mom. "Riles!" I call out to my texting brother. He picks his head up but doesn't take his eyes off of the phone. "Huh!?" He answers. "Change this!" I say referring to the movie 'Now You See Me'. My parents always makes us watch it. I look at my parents who looked disappointed but they didn't want to say anything. Riley reaches for the remote on the coffee table in front of us and sits back down. He exits the movie. "Why can't we watch this?" My Mom asks us both. "If I'm staying down here, we're watching a better movie." I say straight up to her. She shakes her head and allows Riley to continue browsing through movies. "Cam! You find something!" Riley says to me throwing my the remote with no warning. "NO—!" I say as I reflexes reacted to catch it. It was a shit throw too. I catch it and glared at the Riley who was texting again. Who is he texting anyways. I put on the first movie I saw recommended. "Mom and Dad?" My dad asks me as I played the movie. I didn't care because I wanted to know why Riley was so focused. I get up and sat beside him. I try to peak at his screen but he turns his phone. "Chill Out!" He snaps at me before turning his body to face me. It must be a girl. "Oh my! That's terrible!" My mom pleads as she realized what the movie was about. I look at them and they're both into the movie. I couldn't care less, all I wanted to know is who Riley is texting. I grab his phone and returned back to my original spot. "STOPP!!" He yells frightening my parents. "HEY!" My dad yells at him. He sits down and glares at me. I quickly read the messages before he can tell my parents what happened. I start to read. Who's Jayden. I begin to read the iMessages.  It starts off of them talking about Spanish class then it got juicy. "Give me back my phone!" He snaps. I ignore him. NO WAY! She asked him to come over. 'Come over! My parents aren't here 😏' to be exact. My eyes. I look at Riley and he was shaking his head with a disappointed look on his face. I get up to sit beside him again. I whisper. "'Come over'?" I ask him. He nods. "You're just mad because no one wants you over." He says trying to insult me. It rally didn't. "Is she your girlfriend?" I ask him. He chuckles. "Girlfriend?" He asks me. Welp, my little brother is just another Edwin. I roll my eyes. He finally grabs his phone from me and starts to text again. I watch him and he allows me this time. "How about you came here?" He asks her. I can't with him. "So she's not your girlfriend?" I ask him for insurance. He shakes his head and laughs. "Ever heard of a 'Fuck Buddy'?" He asks me. "Of course I know what that is you prick!" I whisper yell at him. "Shhhhh!" My mom says. I look to see what part they are in the movie. The Maid is cleaning the blood of her daughter who she just murdered. My Dad looks so disgusted with the movie so far. "Isn't that what you and Edwin are?" Riley asks me refreshing my memory of what we were just discussing. "Hell no! We're friends." I say correcting him. "With Benefits!" Riley mumbles. I slap his arm making him laugh. "Edwin and I are nothing!" I snap. "Ok." Riley says in a sarcastic voice to annoy me. "Seriously!" I say. "No. I completely understand. You 2 are nothing." He says once again in a sarcastic tone. I give up. I just went upstairs. My parents didn't even stop me. I enter my room closing the door behind me. I just wanted to talk to someone. I would usually Face Time Julia but I wanted a guy's perspective. I tap on the Face Time app and called Ian. I lay down on my bed, rolling over to my stomach and waited for him to pick up. He does after 3 rings. "Hey." He answers both sounding and looking sluggish. "Bro, it's 8:30. Why are you so tired?" I ask him. He sighs. "Just got back from training." I cringe at his words. I hated soccer practice, especially on Sunday nights. "Anyways, what's up?" He asks me. "I need your opinion." I straight up say. I wanted to see his opinion on the whole fight Edwin and I had. "Go for it." He tells me allowing me to start. "Edwin and I fought today. He thinks that I don't trust him." I say. Ian nods. "I accidentally saw that Mia was texting him so I asked why. I know I was wrong for that but, I just couldn't help it." I say. Ian rubs his hand through his hair. "Cameron." He calls my name making me listen. "Yeah?" I answer. He gets up to sit up on his bed. "He's a single guy with needs. You know that right?" Now I have no idea what he is talking about. "Ok?" I ask him. "If a guy isn't seeing anyone, they tend to revisit past relationships." He says. I didn't even stop him because I had a feeling what he was about to say. "It really isn't your business if he fucks Mia again. She was his first love." He says. "They had sex again?" I ask him. I didn't know how I felt about that. "Yeah." He says. "When?" I asked him. "What do you— that's not what you were talking about." He says now understanding that I didn't know. I look at him with a straight face. "How'd you know?" I ask him. Ian sighs. "He called me earlier today." He says. "Today." I say registering it in my mind that he probably went after he dropped me home. "Why did he tell you?" I ask him. He pauses his screen. "He wanted to confess it, but not to the other boys." He fills me in. What was I getting myself into? "What were you talking about earlier?" He asks me trying to change the subject. "Nothing." I say. "It's not important." I add. Ian looks at me with concern. "Omg Ian!" I laugh at him. "I'm not gonna cry!" I say to him. "Ok!" He says in relief. "You should talk to him." I advised me to do. "No. Like you said. He's a single guy." I say repeating his earlier words. "Sorry Cam." He apologizes. "I'm sorry I'm the one to break it to you." He say. I nod. "Ok. See you tomorrow!" I say in a cheerful voice so he thinks I'm alright. "Bye." He says, ending the call. I got up threw my phone on the bed. So much shit was running through my head. Should I ask him about it? No. Should I remove him from my life? Maybe. You know what. I'ma just act like I don't know anything. I want to see if he will tell me. Not that he really needs to, but if he wanted something with me—. Fuck. Here we go.
