"i will. cya later max." nick waves goodbye as he walks away.

"cya nick."

nick hops into the elevator and takes a big breath. he didn't know he'd been so nervous that he wasn't breathing properly. he leans against the wall of the elevator to regain his breath and think over the interaction. he's gonna be over thinking that later.

"who you texting nick?" chris says smugly from his bed.

"no one that concerns you." nick says matter of factly.

"it's your red head loverboy isn't it?" chris teases.

"and what if it is? that's non of your business." nick says not looking up from his phone.

chris and matt share a look before they lunge for nick.

"hey- WHAT THE FUCK." nick screams as matt and chris tackle on top of him, reaching for his phone. "GET OFF ME- no, NO GIVE ME MY PHONE." nick yells as chris successfully grabs nicks phone out of his hand and starts to run out of the hotel room. matt hops off nick and follows him out. nick rushes up to his feet to grab his phone of his brother. as he walks out their door, he sees matt and chris knocking aggressively on the girls door. he starts to run at them, matt and chris now screaming for the girls to open up before nick reaches them.

just as nick is about to reach them, the door opens and the boys their way last kennedy and shuts the door right in nicks face.

"WE GOT HIS PHONE!" chris calls out cheerfully.

"chrisssss, give it back." nick whines from outside the door.

nick presses his ear against the door to hear what their saying.

"why is it good that you have his phone?" kennedy asks rather confused.

"cause he was texting max." matt says in a gooey lovey voice. nick hears audrey and kennedy gasp and they instantly start telling chris to show them the messages.

nick just groans and slides down the door and sit down leaning his back against it as he waits. he lets out little chuckles at his brothers craziness. a small smile plastered on his face as he listens to his friends gush over his messages.

he falls back when chris opens the door suddenly.

"he sent you a heart! and you sent one back!" chris says so excited he jumps over nick and starts running around the hallway.

"ok and?" nick questions his brothers over eagerness about the whole situation.

"cause that's good?!" matt says behind him. "it's a sign that he's comfortable around you already."

"you guys do realise that i've never said that i like him? i literally met him yesterday." nick raises an eyebrow at his brother.

"yeah, but you like him don't you?" audrey asks sitting down next to him.

"no! yes he's good looking but i don't have feelings for him yet." nick rubs his temples at his friend's absurdity.

"YET, HE SAID YET." that sends chris on another high, him going absolutely ballistic.

nick just sighs, a small smile resting on his lips.
