{ Matt's POV }

Jamie led us into the living room later that evening and we began to set up forts and pillows so we could play games all night and mess around. While everyone had been distracted, I snuck upstairs and stood outside Willow's room. I know it sounds a bit creepy but she was just so interesting. I wanted to know everything about her. She's like a rare being, no one knows a thing about her and she's so intriguing that you get sucked into her life until you know every inch of information about her that you can think of.

I was about to knock on the door when it opened. Willow jumped back and blushed as she saw me with my hand up. My cheeks flamed red and I quickly apologized and muttered out a shitty excuse before running back downstairs. I sat behind the rest of the guys and watched them play their game, hoping that no one noticed my flaming cheeks.

{ Will's POV }

Having that encounter with that boy was strange but I tried to ignore it. He completely embarrassed me considering my hair was probably sticking up everywhere and I was only in a sports bra and pajama shorts. The only boy who's seen me look all rumpled is Jamie and my brother.

I shuddered at my own thoughts and went to the washroom. I closed and locked the door before splashing water on my face and drying off. I put my hair into a messy but cute bun and went back to my room. I pulled a large sweater on that went down to my knees before going downstairs to get some food.

I stopped in the living room when I saw all the boys playing games and laughing about something. I apologized quietly as I skirted past them and into the kitchen, letting out a deep breath as soon as I was in the empty quiet room.

I turned around and nearly screamed when I was met with the shy boy from earlier. I slapped my hand to my chest and took a shaky breath.

" Y-You scared me, " I whispered.

He looked sheepish.

" Soz... " he murmured.

I blushed and moved to the fridge, grabbing a water bottle and some leftover food I'd found. I ate it quickly and turned back around to still see the boy there.

" Er, " I swallowed the food in my mouth, " what's yer name? " I asked quietly.

" Alex.. " he said with a soft smile.

I smiled back, " Will "

He nodded and smiled a bit wider. We both stepped into the living room when I was done eating.

" Ey Will, come hang out with us, " Jamie said still paying attention to his game.

I gulped and made my way over to him, sitting close to him and trying to curl up so that I was less noticeable. Alex poked me once he had sat down and I turned towards him. We began to talk in quiet whispers as everyone yelled and laughed with each other. I liked Alex. He was quiet and sweet and shy but he was also interesting and funny. We continued to talk for a while. The whole time I felt like someone was watching us but every time I turned my head towards the others they were all looking ahead.

I shrugged and continued to talk to Alex until my eyes began to droop. I leant back against the couch and passed out in the middle of my conversation with Alex.

I woke with a start to the sounds of thunder and rain pounding against the roof and windows. My heart jumped at the sounds and my breathing accelerated. Every other noise in the world seemed to fade away as my ears were filled with the terror filled sounds of the storm outside.

I whimpered a bit and covered my face with a couch pillow.

" Will? " Jamie muttered sleepily.

I simply whimpered, unable to form words in my state. My throat was beginning to close up as tears streamed down my cheeks. My breathing had become erratic as the beginnings of a panic attack began to hit me.

" Shh shh Willow it's okay, " Jamie murmured sweetly as he pulled me into his arms and held me close to his chest.

My shaking eventually stopped and my mind was finally at ease with my cousins arms around me. I quickly drifted off to sleep in the safety of Jamie's arms.

I woke up the next morning still in Jamie's arms. The other boys were still asleep from what I could tell so I took the opportunity to call my best friend, George Daniel. I slipped out of Jamie's arms and got up, walking into the kitchen and grabbing my phone.

I clicked on the contact that read ' Tree ' and pressed call, holding the phone to my ear with one hand and picking at a string in the sweater I was wearing with the other.

" Hey love, " George says as he picks up.

I'm almost instantly overwhelmed by hearing his voice and begin to tear up.

" Hey Georgie...I'm wearing you sweater, " I say with a slight giggle.

I can hear him chuckle before he replies, " You're just too cute. I can't wait to visit you. "

I sniffle and begin to cry softly, " I miss you so much, " I say into the phone, my voice breaking between quiet sobs.

" Oh Will, please don't cry love I'll be there to visit soon I promise! "

But his words just made me cry harder. He began to sing softly into the phone, helping me to calm my cries.

" Game face, getting why so serious, child. You're like a boy delirious. When you say is this town worth living in, living in. Is this town worth living in? Cos all the girls and boys in the city, well. Just care about things like how does my hair look? Saying how does my hair look? Because we're oh so scared of you. We're oh so scared of you. We're oh so scared of you. " he finishes the verses quietly.

I smile and sniffle.

" That's beautiful. "

" Yeah? It's a new song Matty's working on! I think he's called it Lost Boys! Also he finally came up with a goddamn band name, took 'em long enough, " he said the last few lines with a childish giggle.

" Yeah? What's he calling it then? " I asked.

" Drive Like I Do, pretty cool right? "

I giggled, " Yes yes pretty fuckin' rad. I gotta go but I love you an' I miss you. "

" I love you and miss you too gremlin number two. Have a good day, " he said.

I could practically hear him teasing me.

" Hey it's not my fault I'm short! Stop calling me Matty's nickname and be more original, " I say, a pout stuck on my face.

" Okay okay Dimples, " he says softly, " Goodbye. "

" Bye, " I murmur and hang up.

I wipe my eyes and sigh before putting my phone in my pocket. Suddenly, the boy who was standing outside my door yesterday, Matt I think is his name from what I heard, came into the kitchen.

" We're you talkin' to your boyfriend or summat? " he grumbled in a sleepy morning voice.

My cheeks flamed red.

" What does it matter to you, dick'ead " I spat out, storming out of the room and running upstairs just as he called out my name, maybe to apologize, but I didn't reply.

I locked myself in my room and curled up in bed, covering my face with the blanket Jamie had covered me in yesterday.
