“Where are you?” Joel’s voice sounded immediately through your phone once you had picked up his FaceTime call.

“I’ve told you like five times already” you groaned as you looked at Joel through the screen and pulled your suitcase.

“Just tell me one more time” Joel said, making you roll your eyes.

You had just landed from a five hour flight to California from Alaska to visit Joel, who’s been you best friend for your whole life. After not seeing him for a few months, you decided to fly to see him now since it’s the boys’ last show before they have a three day break and go off to Europe.

“I’m right by the McDonalds now” you said and stood by it, hoping maybe it’ll be easier to find Joel or him find you.

“Where’s the McDonalds?!” Joel said, annoyed from the other side of the phone, making you laugh.

You heard his voice a little distant from the phone, asking someone if they knew where the McDonald’s was. You managed to see four other boys walking next to him through the screen, recognizing only three of them, Zabdiel, Chris and Richard. The other boy you hadn’t met at all. Of course, you’ve seen him in pictures and such, you knew his name was Erick, but you hadn’t actually talked to him before.

“I think we found it- Zabdiel that’s a Starbucks” Joel groaned and looked down, pouting at the screen, “Never mind, we didn’t find it”

“Wait, stay where you are,” you quickly said and started to make your way to the Starbucks you had passed to get to the McDonald’s, “I know where you are”

As Joel was about to say something, you hung up the FaceTime and started to walk faster. Within only a few minutes you were able to see the small coffee place, making your heart thump in your chest. Your best friend was so close, saying you were excited was an understatement.

After bumping into a few people and mumbling a few apologies, you managed to see Joel’s back facing you. You smiled and went into a jog. A few of the guys had seen you coming towards them, small smiles appearing on their faces.

“One she gets here hide me- what are you smiling about?” you heard Joel say and right before you got towards him, you yelled his name loudly, making him turn around quickly.

You tackled him into a tight hug, your suitcase falling beside you. Joel’s arms wrapped around your torso and lifted you up slightly. You laughed and held onto him for a few more seconds, happy to finally see your best friend again.

Once you pulled away you smiled up at him, “Hey loser”

“Hey dork” he said and you both laughed softly.

You turned towards the other boys behind Joel, giving them each a hug, starting with Richard.

“Haven’t seen you in a while” he smiled as you gave him a quick hug.

“You’ve been off being a superstar, it’s a miracle I was able to come” you smiled back and went in to hug Chris.

“Creo que te hiciste más chiquita desde la ultima vez que te vi” Chris joked as you pulled away.

“Oh, ha ha, you’re so funny” you rolled your eyes as you went to give Zabdiel a hug.

“Hi giant” you greeted, which made Zabdiel roll his eyes and ruffle your hair up once you pulled away.

“Heyyy” you pouted and then froze once you saw Erick again.

He looked prettier in real life.

“Oh! You haven’t met Erick,” Joel said and held you by the shoulders, “Erick this is Y/n, Y/n this is Erick”

“Nice to meet you” he smiled and you smiled back.

“Nice to meet you too”

Erick’s eyes were a beautiful shade of green. His smile was adorable and you just felt at ease with him. He was really hot, but still had cute little features, which you totally didn’t find fair. How the hell can Joel have a friend this hot but not tell you?

“You got everything?” Joel asked, causing you to snap out of your thoughts. 

“I’m pretty sure I do” you nodded, a small blush forming on your cheeks as you saw in your peripheral vision that Erick was smirking slightly.

“Alright, let’s go” he said and grabbed your suitcase from your hand.

“Joel-” you started but he cut you off.

“Shut up, I’m being a gentleman right now” he said and started walking. You rolled your eyes and followed behind him.

“I call shot gun” Joel quickly said once you guys got to the rented van.

“Oh wow, thanks for wanting to catch up with me” you sarcastically said, a small smile playing on your lips.

“We got three days together anyways, you’re not that special” he joked, making you stick your tongue out at him. 

You made your way to the seats on the very back. Richard sat in the drivers seat, Zabdiel and Chris making their way on the two seats in the middle, leaving Erick having to sit next to you in the back, alone.

Lovely.

Erick shot you a smile and sat down next to you. You took a deep breath, trying to relax the nerves you suddenly felt. Richard looked at everyone through the rearview mirror.

“Put your seatbelts on, I can’t risk getting a ticket just because one of you idiots decided not to buckle up” Richard said before buckling in himself.

“What a dad” you teased with a smile, making him shake his head at you and turn the car on, driving away.

Your head was resting against the cold window, bored. Your phone had died around thirty minutes ago and you still had an hour so you could arrive to the hotel. You thought you’d be able to sleep, but the boys were too excited and loud, so that idea was immediately out the window.

By now, all the boys were in their own conversations, Joel trying to talk to you, but it was a little hard since he was all the way up front and you were all the way in the back. You decided that you’d try at least one more time to try and sleep, so you closed your eyes, but then immediately they were opened once you felt someone tap your shoulder.

Erick smiled softly at you, “Mira”

You sat up and leaned over the middle seat to see what Erick was trying to show you. You giggled softly at the cute puppy video he’d found on Instagram.

“Que precioso,” you cooed and smiled, “That’s so cute”

“I was afraid you weren’t going to like dogs” he said, turning his phone off and placing it on his lap.

“Dogs are obviously the best” you said making Erick laugh lightly.

That’s when you two started talking. For the rest of the trip to the hotel you spoke and laughed with him. You immediately felt so comforting with him. Talking about everything and anything. He had this charm to him that made you fall in love with him in an instant. And that’s what you found yourself doing. And you’ve only known him for a few hours.

Once you got to the hotel, you went into Joel and Erick’s shared room, where everyone sat before they had to head out to the venue for their last show in the U.S. You sat on Joel’s bed, in between him and Erick. Something you totally didn’t plan out and try to set up. But of course, he didn’t at all try to do the same.

“Do you have any jet lag?” Erick asked as Joel flight over the bowl of popcorn with Chris and Richard on the other bed.

“But she likes this kind of popcorn!” Joel yelled and tried to pull the bowl towards it.

“Then you can make another one!” Chris yelled and pulled it back towards him.

“No,” you shook your head and looked up at him, “It’s only an hour difference, so I’m good”

Erick nodded, “I heard it’s basically always day over there, is that weird for you?”

“Oh yeah, just a little. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but yeah, it’s still weird” you nodded and smiled at him.

“Is Alaska pretty?” Erick asked. You smiled, being genuinely happy that he was interested about you and your life.

Every guy you’d meet was nothing like him. They’d never take their time to get to know you and instead just wanted a quick hookup and that’s it. You’ve only known Erick for a few hours, and not to be cliche or anything, but you’re pretty sure you’ve got some feelings for him already.

“It’s so pretty,” you smiled and brought your legs up to your chest, “I love the nature a lot, so being over there in Alaska is really nice since there’s a lot of nature type things to do. It’s also just overall nice. It’s relaxing and the people are really nice”

“That’s good,” Erick leaned in slightly making your smile fall slightly, “I’m sure it’s not as pretty as you though”

Your eyes widened and a blush covered your cheeks. Erick smiled sweetly at you before glancing away from you and sitting up straight, clearing his throat. You turned towards where he had looked and saw Joel get off Erick’s bed, a bright smile on his face, the bowl in his hands.

“The bowl of popcorn has been secured” Joel said in a deep voice, making you force a smile, still flustered about what Erick had said to you.

Once Joel sat on your left side and noticed you were a bit off. He waited for Richard to pass by into the kitchen to grab popcorn before he leaned slightly towards your ear.

“You okay? Is this actually not your favorite popcorn? I swear last time I saw you it was-“

“I’m fine you loser,” you said, cutting him off and putting a smile on your face, “just tired”

You even added in a yawn to make it more believable. You could almost be an actress, almost. Joel stared at you and nodded slowly, not believing you, before turning back to the tv and choosing a movie.

During the movie, Erick would be whispering silly things to you, which would make you burst out laughing.

“Mira, es Joel cuando se despierta”

“I think he’s better at being a douche than actor”

“Órale, no sabía que Chris actuaba”

To say the least, Erick made an overly cliche and boring movie ten times better. You could tell that Joel even started getting the slightest bit jealous. His best friend was getting stolen away from him, just like that. Well, obviously not that mean or dramatic. He loves that you’re getting along with everyone, it’s just he’s wanted you all to himself since he’s missed you so much.

Once the movie ended, the boys went to their own hotel rooms, getting ready to head off to the venue for tonight. You stayed in Joel and Erick’s room, sitting on your best friends bed, talking to Erick before Joel walked out the bathroom and saw you two together.

Something suddenly clicked in his head as he saw you two so close together and Erick’s hand dangerously close to yours. Your smile was familiar to the one you’d have whenever you dated someone and Erick’s intent, longing stare meant the same thing. He was happy for you and Erick, of course finding feeling for each other and all, but he couldn’t say that now could he.

“Date my best friend y vas a ver Erick” Joel warned as he left towards the kitchen.

“No te preocupes, Joel, I won’t try anything” Erick said before turning back towards you and winking, making you blush.

Oh god.
