"Paris! Alec! Ace! Someone help me!" I squeal as I run around the house with Jay and Ryan running after me. Ryan came home last night; he was already asleep by the time we came from the party.

"Oh, come here!" Ryan exclaims jumping over the couch and running towards me. "Jay come on! We are twins don't betray me like this!" I say as I enter the kitchen and try to get as far away as I can from these two monsters who for some reason thinks it's a great idea to tickle me until I pass out.

"I know and I absolutely love you but I am with Ryan for this one." He smirks as he takes threating steps towards me. "Jay..." I say taking steps back. "Mhm?" He smirks as he tickles the air.

I turn to look at Alec and Paris who are sitting in the living room and see them eating the popcorn I had made for the movie night as they looked at us with intense eyes as if we were some interesting movie. Ace on the other hand was asleep right next to Paris's feet.

When they saw me looking at them, they smirked. Just as Ryan was about to jump over the island and Jay was about to reach for me the doorbell rang. I smiled in victory as I ran away from them and opened the door a huge smile on my face, thankful for whoever rang the doorbell for saving my life.

"Austin! Zac!" I smile, as I look up at the two of them. Zac smiles at me, "Hey Indy. Thank you for inviting us." He says and my smile widens. "It was no problem. Come on in." I say opening the door further. They step in and I close the door. Just then I hear Ace's footsteps rushing towards us.

I guess he woke up because he smelt a new scent in the house. Ace stops in front of my feet and stares up at Zac before barking at him. "Hey there." Zac smiles. Ace barks again. "What's his name?" He asks looking at me. "Ace." Austin and I end up saying together.

Zac smirks and looks at Austin before back to me. "Ace. Cute name." He nods before kneeling in front of Ace. He slowly brings his hand in front of Ace. Ace looks at it before looking up at me, as if asking for my permission. I smile and that seems good enough for him because he starts sniffing Zac's hand before licking it. Zac chuckles and pets his head.

The whole time I feel Austin's eyes on me. But I don't say anything nor too I look at him, but a small blush does appear on my cheeks.

♡♡♡

We are all scattered around the living room. Jay and Paris are on the floor where we set some bedsheets and pillows, Ryan and Alec are sitting on the floor too but on the other side. Zac is on the armchair and Austin; Ace and I are on one couch. I have my legs folded up and Ace's head is on my lap. Austin is leaned back in his spot, a popcorn bowl in his lap that we both are sharing.

"Oh! Oh! This dude dies in the end!" Zac says as he points at one of the characters. Apparently, Zac had already watched the movie we chose, so he keeps giving us spoilers. "Zac!" All of us groan in annoyance. "Sorry." He mumbles sheepishly before stuffing his face with chips.

"Indy! Can you get me more popcorn?" Jay asks as he throws his head back and looks at me with a pout. I smile slightly and get up careful to place Ace's head on the couch. I walk towards Jay to get his bowl only to trip over Austin's feet. Well I don't trip over, because Austin is quick enough to hold my waist and stop me from falling face first into the ground.

"Thank you." I say shyly, my cheeks turning red for no reason. "No problem." He says quietly before letting go of me and pulling his feet back. I take the bowl from Jay who is looking at Austin with narrowed eyes for some reason.

I take the empty bowl from Jay's hand before walking into the kitchen and making some popcorn. I put the pack in the microwave and then lean up the counter waiting for it to finish. Just then I notice someone walking in to. My eyes go the entrance and I see Austin standing there.

"Hey. Um I wanted some water." He says running one hand through his dark hair while keeping the other in his pocket. "Oh, okay. Sure." I nod, as I stand properly and walk to the fridge taking out a water bottle for him. I had it to him, and he takes it, "Thank you." He mumbles, unscrewing the cap and leaving against the doorframe before drinking from the bottle.

I am in some sort of trance I believe as I stare at him... drinking water. I know creepy. His head is titled back slightly, and his biceps are slightly flexing showing a lot more muscle. I see a small trail of water trail down the side of his jaw and down his neck to his collarbone-

I look away.

Who knew someone could look so hot drinking water?

I cough awkwardly trying to get my subconscious to shut up. "You okay?" He asks, his voice deeper for some reason. I look at him and see him looking at me with a raised eyebrow. "Yep." I nod, looking at the floor awkwardly.

Just then the microwave dings making me jump. He chuckles quietly and my cheeks turn pink. I walk to the microwave and take out the puffed-up bag my eyes widening at how hot it is as I rush to the counter placing it down. I hiss as I shake my head and turn on the tap, putting my fingers in the cold water.

I then pull both sides of the packet and pour the popcorn in the bowl. I feel eyes on me, so I turn to look at Austin who is staring at me with an intense look as if looking into my soul. I bit my lower lip, feeling shy at the moment. His eyes dart down to my lips before meeting my eyes again.

He clears his throat and looks down before looking back up. "Your shirt looks nice today." He blurts out. "Thank you." I give him a small smile. His cheeks turn pink and I internally aw at the sight.

"Um... I am just going to go... Yeah..." He nods to himself, giving me a very small smile that makes my heartbeat faster before he leaves the room.

I wait for two minutes, collecting myself to get myself slightly less flustered as I walked out the room with the popcorn bowl in my hand. I see Austin sitting back on the couch and Ace is awake now looking at the movie to with his head in Austin's lap. Austin is scratching his head softly and watching the movie too. "Indyyyyyy!" Jay whines. "Sorry, here is your popcorn." I smiled slightly walking over to him and handing it over to him.

"Thanks, little sis." He smiles and I notice Paris cuddled up next to him, asleep with her head on his chest and her hands wrapped around him, Jay had one hand wrapped around her waist to while the other took the popcorn from my hand.

"She fell asleep, like she always does." He whispers the last part in a tone of awe, staring at Paris with a small smile. He has this certain look in his eyes and I internally aw at how cute they are.

I smile once more at them before making my way back on to the couch on my seat. I see Austin look at me and I turn to meet his eyes. I see something flash in his eyes. I smile at him and to my and his surprise he smiles back.

A full smile. Even though its dark in the room I can see his lips tilted up showing his pearly white teeth and his eyes that seem brighter even in the dark.

♡♡♡

"Indy, how are you doing?" Dr. Wells ask first thing when I take a seat in front of her on Sunday morning. "Geez, not even a hi?" I ask and she laughs and rolls her eyes. "How are you?" She asks.

"I am doing pretty good I would say." I nod. "Really? No panic attacks, nightmares? Have you had sleeping pills or anxiety pills lately?" She asks. "No. Or at least I don't remember." I shrug. "Alright. How did you spend you Saturday?" She asks.

"We had a movie night, and Ryan came over on Friday, so he was there too. I also invited a new friend I made." I tell her. "Alright. New friend, that's good. The last new friend you made was Alec I believe. It's good to see you interacting with people, it's a good sign. Tell me more about this new friend of yours." She says writing something down on her notepad.

"Well his name is Austin. Austin Reed. I kind of tutor him and I guess we are friends." I shrug. She nods, "How is he like?" She asks. "He is pretty cool, I guess. He is on the team with Jay. He can be distant most times and hard to understand but I feel like he can be pretty sweet." I smile at the thought of him for some reason.

Dr. Wells chuckles slightly, "Something tells me by the way you are talking about this boy that he isn't just your friend." She chuckles. My eyebrows furrow, "What?" I ask confused. "Indy my dear it seems like you may have a slight crush on this Austin boy." She says. My eyes widen. "No, I don't." I deny immediately. "Sure, you don't. You had a small blush on your cheek when you said his name and you were smiling when talking about him. It's obvious if you ask me." She smiles.

I shake my head denying it and she smiles. "Denial, ah the start of every blossoming love story." She says to herself with a chuckle and I pretend I didn't hear her. "Alright then, tell me about your week." She says and I smile a little before telling her everything I can remember from this week, she nods at most part, writing things down.

As I am talking to her I can't help but think if she is right. Do I really have a crush on Austin Reed?
