Melanie's POV

I can't believe this. I just got a boyfriend and was finally really happy for once and then I found out that my family is not actually my family.

And then there was Andrew. What was his deal? I don't know what else he could spring on me. I didn't want anything else to be sprung on me. I thought of all this as I looked at myself in the mirror on the wall from my position on the bed.

What kind of life do I live in that causes people to lie to me all of my life? I wondered. I closed my eyes, thinking of all the surprising events that occured within the last two days. Maybe a nice nap would give me some relief.

Ian's POV

Ian is bored. I don't know why I just thought that in third person. It seemed to fit. I don't have anything to do. Anthony's out with Elise so I'm all alone in the Smosh house. Maybe I should make an "Ian is Bored" video. Nah. I guess the only other thing I can think of is to call Melanie and have her come over. Yeah! Yeah, I'll do that!

I called Melanie to see if it was alright with her. She seemed a little off but she agreed to come over. I'll have to ask her what's up when she comes over.

Melanie's POV

Ringing filled my ears as I received a call. I answered it and it was Ian. He invited me over to the Smosh house and I decided to go. I should get out of the house and try to distract myself from this family crisis. I was also really happy to see Ian. He was my boyfriend after all.

I left the house without a word to my family and rushed over to Ian's. I needed to get my mind off of all the family drama that had unfolded recently. Besides, this was the first time I was going to Ian's house! I tried to rid my mind of my family and started thinking of Ian. Before I knew it I was at his house, knocking on his front door.

Ian answered the door and greeted me. "Come on in, Mel." I blushed. This was the first time he called me Mel. I walked in and took a look around.

"So this is where you make your videos?" I asked, walking further in.

"It is." He smiled.

"Wow. I bet you've had a lot of good times here."

"Too many to count." He said, looking at different places in the house. "Never mind that, though. What do you want to do?" He turned to me.

"How about you give me a tour around the house?" I wanted to explore the place that my boyfriend did most of his work in.

"If it's a tour you want, then a tour you'll get." He smiled and interlocked his fingers with mine.

He guided me through all of the rooms of the house, explaining their purpose and occasionally making references to Smosh videos. Now that I had watched all of their videos, I really loved seeing it all. The last stop was Ian's room. We walked inside and I realized that they even used this room for their Smosh videos. It amazed me that Ian and Anthony were so devoted to their jobs that they would even film in their own rooms.

I spun in a circle, looking at all the decorations and toys that adorned the walls and shelves. It was evident that Ian was a big Pokemon fan. I chuckled quietly to myself. He was such a nerd.

"What's so funny?" He asked, now standing in front of me.

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

"Nothing, eh?" He let go of my hand and snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. "Are you sure about that?"

I could feel my heart racing, but decided to play it cool. "I'm sure." I stared into his piercing blue eyes.

He lifted my face to his and our lips met, resulting in my heartbeat increasing even more. I didn't think that was possible. This never happened before. Maybe it was because we were alone. We were alone in his room. Anything could happen.

Ian slowly worked his way forwards, pushing me towards the bed. The bed was right behind me now and Ian pushed me onto it, climbing on top of me. I was hesitant, but didn't stop him. He must have noticed because he pulled away suddenly.

He closed his eyes and opened them slowly. "If we're taking this too fast, you should say something."

As if on cue, Anthony called out Ian's name from the other room. Before we could react, Anthony opened the door and saw us in our compromising position.

"If you told me Melanie was over, I wouldn't have come home so early. Next time, tell me, bro." Anthony shook his head and backed out of the room while we composed ourselves. "I'll be in my room if you need me."

My face felt so hot. I was sure I was blushing like crazy. I looked over to Ian whose face reacted similarly. Anthony closed the door leaving us alone again.

"I'm sorry about that." Ian apologized, his face returning to normal.

"No, it's fine. It's probably just a sign that we should take our relationship a little slower." I smiled at him. I was actually relieved when Anthony showed up. I've never gone that far with a guy and I was really nervous.

"Yeah, you're right." He looked a little disappointed so I planted a kiss on his cheek to cheer him up.

"Don't look so sad. We're supposed to be having fun!" I reminded him.

He smiled. "I'm always having fun when I'm with you." He lifted my chin up and kissed me like never before. It wasn't as passionate as our other kisses, but it was sweet enough so I knew that he loved me.

"I love you." I said and pecked his lips.

"I love you, too." He mimicked my actions. I jumped up from the bed, wanting to do something else.

"Where are you going?" He asked, also getting up.

"I'm not sure. Care to join me?"

"Of course." He said, linking our arms and lacing our fingers together. I opened the door and I headed over to another room.

"If I remember correctly this is. . ." I trailed off as I opened the door. "Anthony's room!" I walked in the door, dragging Ian along with me. "Oh, hi." Anthony said awkwardly. "I wasn't expecting to see you for another hour or two." I blushed and I was sure Ian was blushing too.

"Shut up, Anthony!" Ian yelled, obviously embarrassed.

Anthony laughed and stood up from his chair. "Why are you in here anyway?"

"I wanted to talk to you about the video we're doing this week." And so we discussed the video that we were filming, starting tomorrow. Before we knew it was almost midnight.

"Whoa." I said, surprised as I checked the time on my phone. "It's getting pretty late." I felt kind of lame saying this. I'm sure Ian and Anthony weren't worried about how late it was since they lived together, but I had my family to go home to. My family that lied to me. After thinking about it, I didn't think I was ready to go home yet. I still didn't want to face them yet.

"Awww, is it past Melanie's curfew already?" Anthony teased.

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Don't listen to him." Ian gestured towards Anthony. "Do you want to go home?"

Not exactly, I thought. But where would I go?

"Melanie?" Ian looked at me worriedly. I must have had a strange look on my face.

"I think that would be the best." I smiled at Ian.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'll be going now." I got up and started for the door.

"Wait!" Ian grasped my hand. "Let me walk you to your car."

We had just walked out of the front door which Ian closed behind him when he stopped me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him.

"I should be asking you the same thing." He searched my face. "You've been acting kind of off today. Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." I said, looking down. He tilted my face up towards his so he was looking me in the eyes. "You don't have to pretend you're okay. I'm here for you." He smiled down at me.

"It's a long story." I'm not sure if I want to tell anyone about this yet.

"If you have a problem, then I've got all the time in the world to help you deal with it." Ian pulled me into a tight hug. In his arms felt like the safest place in the world. "How about we go talk about this inside? It's getting a little chilly out here."

I shivered realizing that it was in fact chilly. "Alright." I exhaled slowly, trying to gather my thoughts on what I was going to say. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to him as we headed back inside the Smosh house.

"This is going to be a long night." I mumbled as we entered Ian's room.

"What?" I didn't mean for Ian to hear that.

"It's nothing." Ian shrugged.

A very long night indeed. I thought instead of said to make sure that Ian didn't hear it.
