I sigh pulling into the airport's parking lot. Everyone except for Harry has blocked me on the app. Apparently they even started a new chat. Everything they can do to get me out of their lives. Harry believes me, but says he can't convince the others. I can understand, they've all known JJ a lot longer than they've known me, but I wish they'd just let me explain. To be honest I think they're blowing it a little out of proportion.
I check the time on my phone, 21:04. I'm a little late, but that's fine since Jake will still have to get his bags.
I go inside and quickly rush through the baggage claims, trying to find the one that shows his flight.
I find it and wait, seeing as he must still be making his way through the airport.
"Jayden!" I hear a couple of minutes later, so I turn around and am met with with Jake's smile.
"Jakob!" I shout back, using his full name since he used mine. He pulls me into a hug which I gladly except before wrapping my arms around his back. "I've missed you so much."
"I missed you too Jay," Jake says before pulling back and smiling at me. He goes and waits for his bag.
Once he finally gets it we make our way back to my car, putting the bag in the back before getting up front.
I sigh before starting the car trying to make Jake notice there's something wrong. We've always been able to pick up when something's wrong with the other quite quickly.
"Are you okay?" Jake asks proving my point. I look over at him before starting the car and driving away from the airport.
"No," I admit before glancing at Jake and seeing his eyebrows are raised.
"Are you having boy troubles?" he asks causing me to chuckle. He was always so proud when he got to help me with boy problems.
"Technically yes, technically no," I mutter, starting my way back from the airport.
"What does that mean?" he questions causing me to sigh.
"There's a new guy, and his friend heard me on the phone with you, calling you Jakey. Now, they all think I have a boyfriend, you, and that I'm playing the new boy," I explain briefly, not wanting to go into too much detail. I don't really understand what's happening with Simon.
"They?" Jake asks, only caring about that for right now.
"Him and his friends," I quickly say and see Jake fidget with a ring on his finger, causing me to furrow my eyebrows. He hates jewellery.
"Do you have a plan?" he asks knowing that I usually do. "And is he cute?"
"Course I have a plan, and you're gross, but yes he's cute," I say causing Jake to hit my shoulder.

"This is your house?" Jake asks as soon as I've pulled in front of the sidemen house. Considering they're all ignoring me, I'm just going to have to introduce them to Jake.
"No," I mutter before getting out of the car. Jake slowly follows my actions, standing next to me.
"Then what are we doing here?" he asks clearly confused. He's sending me a look like I'm crazy causing me to chuckle.
"I told you I had a plan, you're going to meet them," I explain causing him to look at me like I'm crazy again.
"You could have told me beforehand," he mutters as we walk up to the front door.
I knock and patiently wait, hoping I'm not bothering them too much.
"Oh," Josh says, only opening the door a little bit.
"Josh, please. Let me explain," I say, only seeing half of Josh's face.
"No," he retaliates before going to close the door, but makes eye contact with Jake causing him to stop. Please tell me he's realising that we look so much alike. "He is your brother, isn't he?"
"Yeah," I mutter, looking over to Jake. His green eyes stare into mine, and his natural brown hair isn't styled, just hanging in his face.
"God, I'm sorry," Josh says before opening the door fully and leaving room for us to enter. "Everyone's in the kitchen. We were filming, well we are."
"Everyone?" I question, hoping that's not true, because I haven't met Ethan or Tobi yet.
"Well, everyone who lives here," Josh mutters before leading us back into the kitchen. Does that include JJ? Probably.
I sigh before entering the kitchen behind Josh.
"Who was at the-" Simon starts but stops once he makes eye contact with me. His face expression immediately changes, but not to anger, more like sorrow. JJ however, is definitely angry.
"Why are you here?" JJ grumbles causing me to sigh. Simon is now staring at Jake, Vikk looks uncomfortable, and JJ looks like he's going to rip my head off.
"Um, I want you guys to meet Jake, my brother," I mumble, suddenly feeling really anxious. I don't why I feel the need to make up with these boys. Yeah I like Simon, but he's probably not going to be my soul mate, if anything.
"Your brother?" Simon asks before looking back to me. I notice Josh glancing between the two of us, before looking at a camera that's set up.
"Yeah," I mutter, feeling just as uncomfortable as Vikk looks.
Simon suddenly gets up before engulfing me in a hug, my face getting smushed against his chest.
"Simon she could be lying," JJ says causing me to roll my eyes. Just let us hug.
"Shut up JJ," Josh says, causing me to smile. Simon pulls away before stepping towards Jake.
"Simon," he says before sticking his hand out for Jake to shake. I make eye contact with Josh so I mouth thank you causing him to nod.
"Jake," he replies before shaking his hand. I can tell he's trying to act all badass and everything, but it's so not going to work. Jake is such a softie.
"That's Josh, Vikk, and JJ," Simon says, introducing Jake to everyone. Josh and Vikk shake Jake's hand as well while JJ sits there like a little bitch. I hope he does come around like Simon has said, it'll make life a lot easier.
"Well, I'm going to let you guys record. I just wanted to show you, that I'm completely trustworthy," I say, looking directly at JJ when I say trustworthy. He rolls his eyes in response. "I'm sorry."
"No, Jay. I'm sorry," Simon says and we stare at each other before Jake and I exit the kitchen. Josh follows behind.
"I'm sorry Jay," Josh says as Jake opens the door.
"It's fine," I say before sending him a smile. "Bye Josh."
"Bye Jay," Josh repeats before shutting the door.
"That was extremely awkward," Jake laughs causing me to laugh as well.
"Thank you though," I mutter before I drive off, going to my house this time.
