Episode 4: Staying Together



" Verolia Charlotte's? "


Lia immediately got up from her piano chair and walked closer to the five guys. He pulled the five hands of the boy at once and saw the bracelet he was wearing was also being worn by the five men.


" But Justin? Brother Joshua? Brother Lance? Brother Joey? And, Brother Chris? " Lia again looked at the five boys and hugged the five of them.


The five guys just pecked before they finally returned the hug of the girl in front of them.


•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


" Ah so you're camped around here? " Justin exclaimed after previously chatting briefly with Lia in the living room.


" Yeah, last night I was here just like you didn't know, so I went back to the tent.. " Lia smiled awkwardly. He admitted he was not good at lying, even lying in front of the five men he knew for only two weeks he was not sure.


" Haha yes, we came out yesterday. Oh yeah how did you get here? " Lance laughed, pouring a glass of water and giving it to Lia.


" I don't know, yesterday when I was out for a night out all of a sudden through this house. It was too dark for me to go back to the tent, and I decided to come back in the morning. Apparently real... " For a long time he had never been with a guy let alone the five of them. Making Lia feel awkward, maybe Justin and his friends know about it.


" Emm... Brother, can I ask for help, right? " Lia suddenly changed the direction of the conversation, making the five guys before her astonished. Lia took a deep breath before she continued her words.


" That, emm... Let me stay here! " Lia looked down, waiting for their answer. Until Justin replied, making Lia look at the five guys.


" Could do. We have also lived together, so it doesn't matter! " Justin slapped Lia's hand on the table.


A smile splashed on Lia's lips, but before long the smile disappeared after Joshua asked the thing that made her moody again.


" It could be, it could be... But what about your parents? " That's Joshua's question. A moment of silence, until Lia answered.


" My parents... Died, because in the prey of wild animals during the holidays during the semester break, when I was in 1st grade Junior High. " Lia smiled. His smile revealed a sadness that was very visible to the five men.


" died? In the prey of wild animals? " That question came out of Lance's mouth. Lia smiled again.


" yes. While on vacation in the forest, I was with my best friend again taking photos together. My father and mother went first, and then someone attacked. Like wolves, my best friend and I were told to run away by my father and mother. "


" After the police arrived, the police said it was a beast. And the locals around there said it was a werewolf. So yeah, that's it.. "


The faces of the five men were shocked, especially with the word werewolf. They were speechless, they seemed to be saying the wrong thing.


" Oh, sorry, I don't know. Sorry to make you sad... " Joshua apologized immediately, Lia smiled and said that he was okay. But Justin immediately pulled Lia's body to lean on his shoulder field.


" Crying off. No what, you must have all your cries and all your emotions right? Now, just get out. " Justin stroked Lia's long hair, slowly sobs filled the house.


After 30 minutes, Lia looked at Justin with puffy eyes.


" Thank you, brother. Because brother, at least it's better... " Lia smiled to show her teeth.


" Oh yes, Justin's real words? " Lia wiped away the tears on her cheeks while looking at Justin, making sure.


" What about? "


" About I can stay here? "


" Yep, if you want later your stuff, we help bring it. You follow the camp first. " Joey exclaimed, Lia just nodded slowly and smiled again.


" yes. "


•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


" Wave, I'm going home first. " Say Lia on the phone. It sounded from Wave's tone of voice that he was shocked.


" Why Lia? You sick? "


" No, I'm just a little dizzy. The stuff I brought you first. In two weeks, I'll take school again. "


" Haha... Okay, take care. "


" Why? "


" I'm not going to go to camp. "


" Why? Do not dong, this is an event you can know and be close to your friends... " Chris looked at Lia in surprise. How could Lia be happy for not attending such an event?


" Well if I join the event, later I can't help bring my things. So I'm gonna help you! " Lia seemed enthusiastic, while the five men could only resign to the behavior of their friends.


" Okay, we'll take the goods tomorrow. Now you wear my clothes. " Justin gave a paper bag containing his clothes.


" Hehe thanks brother! "


At dinner, the dining room was full of intimate chatter between the five boys and Lia. Joking and laughing together like this, it had been a long time since Lia had felt this way after the death of her parents.


" Oh yeah, I'm so sorry that the first room I still use to put my tapes and stuff. So today you slept in one room with us, is it okay Lia? " justin said shortly after the food ran out and answered with a nod of Verolia.


In the room, unexpectedly. Not directly sleep or rest as expected Joey and Chris are still down. After the two of them open the door, unexpectedly Lia, Justin, Joshua and Lance play a pillow fight.


After 15 minutes of pillow fighting, Lia fell asleep at Justin's hand and Joshua's.


" he... Back, yeah... " Chris closed the door tightly with a smile, then slightly closed the curtains.


" Yes, I don't think tomorrow will be as boring as before. "


•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


The next day, Lia wakes up in a state of afflicting Justin and Joshua's hands. That makes him wake up automatically. How could he befall the hands of those two guys?!


Unfortunately, the sudden wake-up move made Justin and Joshua wake up.


" Hoaammm.... Good morning, Lia! " Justin stretched his muscles then greeted Lia.


"Hoaammmmhaha... It's morning again, morning Justin, morning Lia. "


" Eh?! I... Yes morning!! " Lia was shocked to see Joshua and Justin suddenly waking up.


" I'm bothering you guys to sleep?! I'm sorry!! "


" Uh? We have to get up at this hour. "You don't bother me said Joshua with his pillow face while looking at Lia.


" Yes, we woke up at this hour. Come on down! I think Lance has breakfast ready. " Justin hugged Lia all the way to the kitchen.


At breakfast, Joey, Chris and Lance immediately finish their part before going to pick up Lia's belongings at home, but Lia holds back so they haven't left.


" What's up? " Joey asked in surprise when he saw the girl holding them back from leaving.


" I help you! "


" Yeah, better the sixes. After all, Lia can also choose which one to bring. " Justin exclaimed, finally after they finished eating, they made their way to Lia's house.


At Lia's house, the six of them went straight to Lia's room and tidied up the items there.


" Which stuff do you want to bring? " Chris had just come to Lia's room with cardboard boxes and duct tape/insulation.


" The only one in my room. You see, if the one in the middle room and the other, in your home also has a course. " Lia answered while putting her things in the cardboard box.


" Hahaha yes too, which room would you like to bring? " Lance said as he looked around Lia's room which looked a lot with books, toys, figures and others.


" Most some of my clothes are in the closet, keep all my toys, the same at most this box. " Lia pointed to the wardrobe, the toy closet, and other items.


" Okay now it's time to sort out the things you want to bring! " Joey exclaimed as he lifted the cardboard box and began to put Lia's belongings in.
