While Alex was gone, there was an awkward conversation in the living room. Jonah cleared his throat when Alex left and looked at Avery. "Are you gay?"
"Bi." Avery said uneasily. He really didn't want to get into this right now, especially not with people he had just met.
Jonah nodded slowly. He was waiting for Avery to ask whether he was gay or not. When he didn't, Jonah decided to question him again. "You like Alex don't you?" he asked. Avery gawked at him, a blush creeping up. This young man had guts. Zoey elbowed him in the ribs and smiled apologetically at Avery.
"Sorry... he's being stupid... and very annoying." she gestured vaguely at the alcohol he had been drinking. Elizabeth took it away and set it on the dining table.
"James should be home soon." she checked the time. Seven twenty. "I'll have some explaining to do."
Jonah slowly got up to his feet and walked carefully towards the alcohol, smirked, and finished up the last of the bottle while Elizabeth was busy with her phone. Avery internally rolled his eyes. Now he felt like sleeping in a different room that had a lock. Zoey smacked the back of his head and Jonah laughed.
Right then, Alex walked in.
Elizabeth got up. "I'll show you to the bathrooms and get out some pajamas for all of you. We always carry extras."
