"well i'm off to bed, i'm knackered." arthur says as he makes a beeline for his room, his door opens and i wait for it to click close again before i speak.

"Quilah, do you like Arthur?"

"Haz are you dumb?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" i throw my hands up in surprise,

"hes taking me on a date tomorrow you idiot!" she lightly whacks my head and i let out a yelp as i rub my head from where she hit me.

"Yo harry we know your dumb but we didn't think you were this slow!"

"Simon don't even talk, you and talia were a secret for a while too! God forbid a man not pry into his best friends life and let her actually live."

"Well anyways, i do really like him so i hope everything goes well with us, hes amazing haz."

"okay, okay, don't be going all soft and mushy for him now geez. at least wait for talia to wake up or something."

"OH! that reminds me to call faith, she was gonna come over with talia but then the whole lars and george thing happened so i sent her a voice memo that i have to cancel! i better facetime her, do you think it's too late?"

"no, ethan is active in the boys group chat talking abt how olive is still listening to moana. i'm sure faith will still be up."

"okay i'm gonna give her a call then head off to bed as well. night boys! OH MY GOODNESS ARTHUR CAN MAKE HIS HANGOVER PANCAKES IN THE MORNING! thank fuck." simon and i laugh at her antics as she walks down the corridor that arthur was previously seen in before entering his room and closing the door. we hear her faintly call out faith's name and her squealing, i only give one look to simon before we start laughing.

"ethan is not getting any sleep tonight if those two are on facetime." simon quickly piped up and we only laugh louder

"neither will arthur, poor lad is going to be stuck awake the whole night because of quilah and faith."

i hear some movement before a third voice joins in "can you two shut up, yous are so loud. i'm heading to the spare room, night harry!" talia quickly stands up from the couch and makes her way to the spare bedroom with the blanket wrapped around her.

"is she the sleeping police or something?"

"harry man oh my gosh! i best head off too, got some filming to do tomorrow arvo anyways."

"oh yeah do we still have the among us session tomorrow?"

"yep, 5pm! don't be late." he makes his way to the room with talia as i turn to the couch and attempt to find the pull out compartment.

i spend at least 10 minutes fiddling around with the couch when my leg taps something and i get whacked in the stomach by the couch launching me across the living room landing flat on my bum. i lay down for a second jusy to recover when i hear a loud BANG making me jump and scream, only when i look to see what it was, i realise that harry potter was still playing and it was just the dragons.

embarrassing harry, you shat yourself over some fictional dragons

finally i set up the pull out couch and realise that there were no blankets or pillows spare, i quickly look around and see that there is a pillow and a fitted sheet in one of the storage boxes that arthur has. knowing me though i'll be cold so i quickly head towards arthur's room to ask him but as i approach the room i notice that it's quiet. i open the door and see arthur and quilah cuddles up in his bed l, they look cute. as their friend though, i take a photo and send it into the group chat with everyone.

i was awoken by my phone constantly pinging, when i went to turnover to grab for it, i heard a groan and felt something move. when i looked down, i saw her turning over to face me.

"artie? you okay?" her voice was low and groggy, i pushed some loose strands out of her face as i smiled,

"yeah, sorry i was just going to silence my phone, go back to sleep." i kissed her forehead and began playing with her hair as she lulled back to sleep. once i heard her breathing even out, i reached out for my phone to see what caused the notifications to go crazy.

*99+ notifications from big chatters

*10 mentions on twitter

*20 mentions on instagram

*3 messages from chrissy

*10 messages for jj

it wasn't the group chat notifications that scared me, or the twitter mentions or the instagram ones. not even chris' messages. i warily opened the message chat with jj only for me to start questioning everything

jj
