You choked on your food and looked at him with wide eyes, "Your parents...as in the movie stars?"
Sean nodded and glanced at the other boys. They all had expressions of curiosity and annoyance on their faces.
"I thought you said they wouldn't be back here for a while." Vincent said, staring at him in suspicion.
"I did. They weren't supposed to come back but apparently my mom decided a few days back at home would do well for her and my father." Sean said as he rubbed his temples.
"This is annoying." Elijah murmured. "Do they know about (Y/n)?"
"No!" Sean hurriedly said, "Which is why we need to talk about this."
Everyone was silent and you looked around the room. You had set your plate on your bedside table and glanced around. Sleep was far out of your mind at this point.
"What if you bring up the murder." Mason said.
Sean raised an eyebrow.
"Mason, give an actual idea. Not some stupid half-thought that just passed through your brain." Xander said with a sigh.
"I'm being serious." Mason glared at Xander, "(Y/n)..." He turned to look at you, "Did you know that your old friend Layken was found dead?"
You nodded slowly, feeling a sense of uneasiness. Mason turned back to look at Sean.
"Well, what if you tell your parents that she was her best friend and we got cleared for days off school to come out to the countryside and try to relax and cope with the situation as best as possible." He finished, looking around hopefully.
"Oh my god...He does have a brain." Elijah said with wide eyes.
"Alright listen here you piece of broccoli-"
"Shut up. Mason might be onto something." Sean said, staring down at the bed.
Mason beamed proudly, "Of course I am."
"So I'm here to mourn a friend?" You asked slowly.
"Yes. Losing Layken was so hard on you that we brought you out here for some fresh air." Sean answered. "This could work!"
"I never thought I'd see the day we used one of Mason's plans but...." Xander trailed off with a sigh.
"You guys act as if I'm stupid." Mason scowled.
There was no response.
"If you'll excuse me for a minute, I have to go to the bathroom." You said as you slid off the bed and walked to the bathroom.
Shutting the door behind you, you walked over to the mirror and looked at yourself. Your docile expression fell and morphed into one of anger.
They're acting as if I'm some kind of pet. Talking about me as if i'm not there..... You turned the sink on and gathered some water in your hands. Throwing it on your face you turned the water off and grabbed a towel. Looking back at yourself, you scowled.
I look like a rat. A pathetic rat.
"Why didn't you say anything about her health being at risk for these past two days?" Elijah hissed as he glared at Xander.
"Yeah, comas weren't brought up at all when we talked about this." Vincent said.
Xander scoffed and rolled his eyes, "People really do believe anything anyone with ties to the medical field says. She wasn't going to go into a coma. Her blood sugar couldn't have been that low."
"If it wasn't a danger then why-"
"Because I wanted to talk to her. If she fell asleep for three quarters of the day, none of us would've spent any time with her. Would you have really liked to waste another day without her?"
The boys hesitantly shook their heads.
"You're devious." Mason muttered.
"I call it calculative. We got our desired result, didn't we?"
"Sleep's going to catch up to her eventually." Vincent pointed out.
"And by then we'll have had a good few hours with her. Now shut up, she might hear us." Xander rolled his eyes.
You opened the door to the bathroom and walked back over to your bed, acutely aware of the eyes on you.
"So what were we talking about?" You asked as you leaned back against your pillows.
"The plan. Are you okay with it?" Sean asked.
"Seems fine to me." You replied with a yawn.
"Great, then that's settled. Now, there's the issue of what we're going to do today."
You raised your eyebrows, "Can't I just stay in bed?"
"Nope!" Elijah said with a smile.
You sighed and sank deeper into your pillows.
"We can watch movies, go swimming, walk around the property, anything really." Xander said.
"Sleep is an option on that list, right?" You said hopefully.
"No (Y/n)." He snapped.
"Im tired." You whined.
"Do you want to slip into a coma?" He asked.
You shake your head.
"How about we just go swimming?" Mason asked, interrupting Xander who had his mouth open ready to reply.
"I don't have a problem with that." Vincent said, giving you a soft smile.
"Me either." Sean said, glancing at you.
All five of them looked at you expectantly. You glared at them all sighed.
"Fine. I'll go swimming." Your voice was filled with annoyance.
Elijah clapped his hands and stood up, "I'll leave you then to get dressed."
Vincent stood up as well as Xander. The three of them waved and left the room.
"There should be a swimsuit in the closet," Sean said with a smile as he walked towards the door, "If there's a problem, just call for me." He disappeared down the hall.
"Don't keep me waiting for too long. I want to see how cute you look." Mason said with a wink as he left the room.
You sat there in silence, trying to let your brain process everything. You walked through the bathroom door and to the closet where you began looking for said swimsuit.
Sean's parents are coming here, I'm supposed to be a grieving friend, and now I'm going swimming?!
You scowled and threw random articles of clothing on the ground.
The grieving friend part isn't hard because I'm grieving, just not for her. Are the Roes nice people...? Where is this swimsuit!?
You tore your closet apart before you found it. You glared at the article of clothing in front of you. It was a (f/c) bikini with ruffles on the top half.
"There's no way I'm wearing this..." You muttered as you glanced around.
Not seeing any other option, you slipped the suit on and walked back into the bathroom. Your eyes met your reflection and your eyes widened. Quickly grabbing a towel, you wrapped it around yourself and glanced back at the mirror.
Much better. You thought with a sigh as you reemerged into your bedroom.
Stepping out into the hall, you saw Sean waiting for you. He had a disappointed look on his face.
"Come on, show me how it looks on you." He said, reaching for the towel.
"No thank you." You said as you started walking down the hall.
He sighed and followed after you. The other boys were waiting by the stairs and all shared disappointed looks as you came up to them.
Mason had on red swim trunks, Elijah brown, Vincent purple, and Xander yellow.
"Do you guys always try to color coordinate your outfits with your eye tone?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It makes things easy to differentiate when you live with each other." Elijah said with a small smile.
"Ah." You said as you started to go down the stairs.
"Can we see your suit (Y/n)?" Vincent asked.
"When we get down to the pool." You said dismissively.
Why do I feel like this isn't going to go well.
