Jordan's point of view

I laid in my bed beside Timothy, staring at the ceiling. He was asleep, and so was Taylor and Christian. James was awake, I could see the light on his phone and him scrolling through what looked like his Instagram.

"James," I whispered and suddenly his phone turned off. "JJ, I know you're awake." I told him and he hummed.

"It's too hot to sleep." He said and I agreed. "What's up?" He asked me I leaned down to look at him. He was on the floor because he had passed out there and we didn't bother waking him up.

"I'm bored." I told him as I sat up slowly, carefully peeling Timothy's arm off of me. "Want to go out?"

"You're dating Timothy, dude, I-"

"I mean outside idiot," I laughed out quietly. "I'd never do that to Timmy, he doesn't deserve that." I said and he agreed as he stood up. I got out of bed and Timothy stirred, but he never woke up.

I stepped outside of my room with James and we went to the living room, careful not to wake anyone up. I opened the sliding door quietly and then we stepped out, closing it behind us. "It is colder," I said and he agreed. "But still pretty hot." I told him and he agreed once again.

"Fuck, I don't have my bracelets..." he trailed off quietly and I looked. "Don't look." He said and pressed his wrists against his chest. I guess he didn't want me to hear him at first.

"James, I'm not going to treat you any differently." I told him. "I don't now." I pointed out and he nodded. "Come here." I said but he stood still.

I went up to him and wrapped my arms around him. I buried my head in his neck and he slowly wrapped his arms around me. "I forgot my sweatshirt inside too."

"Want me to run in there and get your bracelets? No one is going to see, but if you want to cover them up, I can go get them." I said and he shook his head. "Are you sure?"

"Positive." He said and we swayed back and forth real quick. I pulled away and then gasped as I fell back. I landed inside of the pool and he just laughed.

"When did I get on that side?" I asked him as I came back up. He shrugged as he laughed and I glared at him. I grabbed his hand that was pointing at me and yanked him in with me.

"Jo-"

I laughed and he surfaced, glaring at me. "That's what you get for laughing." I said and he just laughed. "You laugh so loudly." I said and he nodded.

"I know," he said and I smiled. "It was just funny watching you fall in." He told me and I rolled my eyes at him. "Shit, I don't have any clothes for school tomorrow, or, later." He said confused on what to say.

"Maybe we could skip tomorrow." I told him. "We have nothing to do besides a paper, even then, we can do it on Friday." I said and he nodded.

"Probably." He agreed and splashed me. "It's a good thing I left my phone inside, if I didn't, it would have broke." He said and I laughed.

"I was mad and wanted revenge," I said. "You needed to fall in here or else you'd pay in some other way." I told him and he rolled his eyes.

"Kids, what are you doing up so late?" I heard Calum's voice. "It's like three am, why are you in the pool?" He asked us.

"Um, I fell in and then I dragged him in because he was laughing at me." I said and Calum laughed. "Cal, can we stay home please? We don't want to go to school in the morning, especially since the guys have no clothes, well, pants." I said.

"We'll talk about that in the morning." He said and yawned. "If you're gonna be out here, be quite please. No need to wake up the bitch and the asshole." He said.

"Ashton and Vivian?"

"Yeah," he said and I nodded. "Keep it down, they're really pissy if you wake them up. Oh, and come in soon, I don't want to find you guys in here past six am." He said and we nodded.

"Goodnight Calum," we said and he waved as he walked back into the house. "This is going to sound weird, but he's really attractive when he's just in his boxers. Good lord, those muscles have me over the moon."

"James!" I said and splashed him. He held his hands up in defemse and I laughed. "God, you're so inappropriate." I said and I took my shirt off. I wringed it out and then set it on the poolside to dry.

"You're the one who took their shirt off!"

"It's so it can dry," I said and he just rolled his eyes at me. "Now, since I can clearly see your into men, what's going on between you and Chrissy-boo?" I asked and he blushed.

"Nothing, me and Chris are just friends..." he said and very faintly, I could hear him add on, "sadly."

"You like him." I said and he blushed harder. "You two would be so cute JJ, and the best part, I bet you he likes you too." I told him.

"I doubt it." He told me. "He's not into weirdos with unnatural hair and scars along their wrists." He mumbled and I grabbed his face.

"Okay one, he's Christian and I can read that idiot like a book okay? He likes you. It's in the way he stares at you and is always closest to you. Two, you are weird, but so are we, so it's okay. Three, your unnatural hair makes you special, and much better because it looks so nice on you. Four, he's Christian, he doesn't care if you self harm." I said.

"Okay wait, that last one sounded as if he actually doesn't care, which he does, he cried when he found out." I said and he gave a slight chuckle. "But he won't treat you differently. He won't just not like you because of that. He likes you and I can see it." I told him.

"Thanks but just because your crush likes you, doesn't mean mine does." He said and I rolled my eyes as I sighed. "It was obvious Timothy liked you from the way he talked about you as if you were the only girl in the world."

"Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Oh wait, I'm getting off track. Point of the matter is, make a move on Christian because he likes you back. Go up to him, look him in the eye, and say that you want to be his boyfriend and date him."

"What did I just walk in on?" A familiar voice said and James blushed harder than he had all night. He held his breath and went under and I turned around.

"Christian," I said and he rose an eyebrow at me as he walked over. "What are you doing up so late?" I asked him, a sugar sweet smile on my lips.

"What are you doing shirtless in a pool, with my man, when you have your own?" He asked and James popped right out of the water.

"Holy fuck," James gasped and wiped his eyes. "Your man?"

"Yep, you're mine now James." Christian said and held a hand out. James swam over and grabbed his hand. Instead of pulling him out, James pulled him in and I laughed.

"Still works," Christian said and kissed James. I gasped and covered my mouth, how cute are they? I watched as they kissed and I heard Christian ask him those six words.

"James, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Oh my god," James said. "You actually," he didn't even get to finish before Chris kissed him again. "Yes," James said after they pulled away. "I will."

I swam away from the two and got out of the pool. I saw piles of towels and I thanked god for Christian. He must have ran into Calum before he came out.

I took one and wrapped it around myself. I sat down cross legged by the side of the pool and looked up into the starfilled sky. "Hey princess," someone said and I looked around.

"Is all of our friends awake?" I asked Timothy and he shook his head. He laid down beside me and I laid down myself. He let me wrap my wet arms around him and I nuzzled my face into his side. "Taylor is still sleeping?"

"Yeah," he said and I chuckled as I cuddled into his side. "What are you doing shirtless?" He asked me and I looked up at the sky, my head rested right on his chest, over his heart.

"I was in the pool and decided to let my shirt dry while I was in there. James and Christian are gay and dating each other so I didn't think it would be too big of a deal." I told him and he nodded.

"Now thay I know they're dating and that James is gay, it isn't now." He said and I laughed. "They're cute together." He told me and I agreed with him.

"I'm glad they're together, but now, Taylor is a third wheel." I said. "Or, fifth wheel, I don't even know anymore." I said and Timothy chuckled.

"He'll find a girlfriend, he has this sense of charm and every girl likes him. He can get one quickly." He told me and I nodded. "Besides, we're still best friends, it's not like we'll ditch him for our boyfriend or girlfriend."

"I could never ditch Tay-Tay, my little fuckboy." I said and he laughed. "You're my little Timmy-boy and then James is my little JJ and Christian is my Chrissy-boo." I told him.

"I'm dating an idiot." He said and looked up at the sky as I laughed. "You know when we made wishes on those airplanes?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I remember. My wish still hasn't came true, but I hope it does soon." I told him. "I can't tell you what it was though, if I did, it wouldn't come true."

"Mine did." He told me as he laced our fingers together. "My wish was that I'd grow the balls to ask you out and that you'd actually like me back."

"Really?"

"Really." He told me and I looked up at him. "Now, I have you and get to call you mine." He said and kissed my head. "I think that dinner where you had to take me as a date helped me with that little confidence problem."

"Now that we're dating, is it okay to say you looked so hot at the dinner. Good lord, what did you do? Google how to make a girl weak kneed?" I asked him and he laughed.

"No, it's just, I didn't have a plain white, or black, button up, so I used a flannel. Then you told me to wear leather and I did." He told me and I nodded. "But I'm glad you thought it was hot. Maybe I'll wear that outfit again someday."

"Promise me something Timothy?" I asked him after a little period of nothing but splashing and hushed whispers from the other couple and he hummed. "Promise me if you ever feel... tired of this, you'll tell me? I hate being lead on and I hate being lied to..."

"Tired of what exactly JJ?" He asked me and I looked up at him. He stared down at me, his hand playing with my wet hair.

"Us."

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of us, but if for some strange reason I ever do, I promise I will." He told me. "I don't think I could ever get tired of you, or of us."
