About 2 minutes after Vic had called out to the guys I heard Mike question, "we?" Then all of a sudden Mike along with two guys, who I assume are Tony and Jaime, found us in the front hall. "Oh, this is the 'we', how you doing miss sexy?" he asked with a smirk. He and I had dated briefly right when I had gotten to town(hence the nickname that I couldn't get away from) but we quickly decided that he was just my best friends younger brother who also happened to be one of my best friends an it's stayed that way since. With a sudden burst of energy and courage in front of the new people I ran the short distance between Mike and I and jumped on him giving him a big hug that surprised Tony and Jaime, but this was a normal greeting for Mike and I, "Hey, gorgeous!" I giggled and squirmed around in Mike's arms until he finally decided that I was allowed to stand again.

I turned to Vic still feeling oddly comfortable around the new company "Care to introduce us Mr. Fuentes?" I asked smirking at him.
"So much for the jitters about meeting my friends huh, darling?" I just laughed and nodded feeling stupid bout being worried in the first place, if they got along with Vic, I would get along with them plain and simple. "Well, guys, this is Annaleigh, she's originally from Texas, this is Tony," Vic said as he gestured to the guy with stretched ears and a white tank top with a big turtle on it, he just nodded to me slightly and then looking away shyly, "and this is Jaime," by the time he had gotten the words out Jaime had already closed the distance between us giving me a hug like we had known each other for years instead of just a few minutes.
"Sorry, I'm a hugger!" Jaime explained sounding slightly embarrassed.
"It's all good Hime-Time, I kind am too, but usually only when I know the person," I explained winking .
"Yay! I get a nickname already and it's fantabulous, Blue!" He said giving me my own nickname in return. In the midst of this I can hear Vic laughing and hooking his arm in mine in an almost jealous fashion.
"Before you make all these guys fall for you, why don't we go show them your new-found talent, Annabear!" This was followed with replies of: "Awh, Annabear, that's fucking adorable!" From Jaime to that I replied, "yes, but the only person that is allowed to call me that is Vic," while looking down and blushing. And "new-found talent?" from Mike as we walked down the stairs to where I assume all the instruments are.

I was staring to get really nervous, the only person I had ever sung in front of was my brother Ryan, ever since then I hadn't. So I decided to be a bitch, "fine, I will, but you're going with me, Viccyboo,"adding the nickname on the end so that I had made it clear that I was not happy about singing and to embarrass him in return.
"Fine, sweetheart, but I'm picking the song," he taunted Fuck, I'm screwed now, I knew exactly what song we were going to be doing, and my fears were confirmed when he picked up his acoustic guitar and started strumming the intro to the song. It was If It Means A Lot To You by A Day To Remember (A/N: link in notes), this was the first song that we had listened to when we met. He started singing:
"Hey darling, I hope you're good tonight
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by
'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singin'

La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'" he sung looking at me with a facial expression and emotion that I couldn't identify.
"If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
Well, it might be for the best," he looked back one more time to cue me I took a deep breath and walked up beside him putting a hand on his shoulder for support and sang out with everything inside me.
"Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving me yeah you want it,
but I can't help it
I just feel complete when you're by my side, but
I know you can't come home 'til they're singin',"as soon as the first few words came out I could feel the staring on my face, but I was too caught up looking into Vic's eyes as we were performing, he was looking back in my eyes with a loving, supportive look. And Vic took over again while I sung the accompaniment,
"If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
Well, it might be for the best," he sang with heart, then I took over with as much passion as possible, remembering the stupid ex that I had back in Texas,
"You know you can't give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can wait through everything," I tapped Vic on the shoulder he sung back with the same amount of passion,
"Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again
And don't you dare say we can just be friends
I'm not some boy that you can sway," for the rest of the song we managed to harmonize perfectly,
"We knew it'd happen eventually

La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(If you can wait 'til I get home)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(Then I swear we can make this last)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear we can make this last." We finished together, Mike, Tony, andJaime went crazy with a whole bunch of praise for the both of us, but my eyes were locked to Vic, and his to mine.

They finally caught our attention after Jaime stepped in between Vic and I giving me a bear hug, I knew Vic and I were going to talk about this later, but for now I just enjoyed the company of my new friends.
"hey, turtle," I called over to Tony he looked up with a smile enjoying his new nickname.
"Yes, angel,"he answered giving me yet another nickname. He came over and joined me and the rest of the guys.
