Chapter 33; Stubborn Andre & Closer

"Hey guys! You look so cute!" I exclaimed as I facetimed my neighbors who were dressed in their pyjama's since it was like eight in the morning in Austin.

My neighbors were like family to me. "We miss you," Asher and his brother Milo said in unison. "I miss you guys, too. I'm sorry I couldn't be there on your birthday's," I apologized with a pout.

"I'm four now!" Milo, the younger one of them said happily. "I know tiger. You're growing up so fast," I said with a smile as he nodded happily. "I'm older! I turned six!" Asher said and stuck his tongue out at Milo.

"You'll always be my little monkey no matter how old you are."

"What about me?" Mila pouted and stomped his feet on the ground.

"You'll always be my jellybean, won't you?" I asked, making him smile and nod.

"When are you coming back?" Asher asked as their mom appeared in the background with a huge smile on her face. "I'm hoping soon."

"Hey sweetheart," their mom Kate said and waved at the screen. "Hey," I waved back with a smile. "How's the world treating you?" she asked, making me chuckle.

"Great! It's amazing being on tour. I'm in Hamburg right now and Paris after that," I explained to her, excitedly. "That's amazing. We can't wait for you to come visit. It's been too long."

"I know. I'm hoping to visit soon. European Leg ends June 2nd and I have a whole month before American Leg is coming up so like I said I'm hoping to come home in that time but nothing's decided yet."

"Just text or call when you're coming so we can be prepared."

"I will. I have to go now though don't forget to stream the song in an hour! I wish you a good day guys. Love you!"

"We won't. Love you, too," they all said before I ended the call and stuffed my phone back into my back pocket of my jeans. I exited my dressing room where I've been for a few hours, writing songs and walked to the Ping-Pong room where I assumed everyone was.

"58 minutes until it's out!" Theo said as I sat down next to him on the couch. "I'm so excited," I grinned and clapped my hands in excitement. The song I did with The Chainsmokers will be out today and Drew & Alex are coming visit us at the venue soon to celebrate.

"How's Andre doing?" I asked chuckling as I saw him glaring at me. "He's good. Well, until you came in," Theo laughed and shook his head at Andre.

You see, two days ago I had called Lauren for my last revenge. I told her to make Andre believe she would break up with him and so she did a few hours later. Andre was close to tears as Lauren told him that she wanted to break up.

Right when she hang up tears rolled down his face and I felt really bad until Lauren facetimed him and told him, laughing that it was a prank. He ended the call and gave me the silent treatment ever since.

He wasn't even talking to Lauren at the moment but he'll break soon and give in. He can't stay mad at us for long. "Poor Andre," Mike said as he handed me the paddle.

"He'll come over it. He loves us," I chuckled and blew Andre a kiss, making him pout and look away.

I looked at my opponent and smirked before grabbing the ping pong ball and starting the game.

"You seem confident. You really think I'll lose against you?" Shawn laughed as we played but I didn't answer and concentrated on the game.

Minutes later I was throwing the paddle on the table and sat down on the couch with my arms crossed in front of my chest.
