~A week and a half later~

I unlock the door to my studio apartment, and walk in. After spending another night at Vic's, I'm exhausted. Vic, the guys, and I stayed up talking until daylight. Then, once again, I crashed in Vic's bed while he slept on the couch. I go and throw my dirty clothes on top of the washer, and then plop down on my messy unmade bed. I sigh, and kick my shoes off before looking around. I immediately get pissed at myself; the house looks like a fucking tornado went through. And Vic came in here and saw it... I still can't get over that. Ugh, I'm a failure at everything. I lay down frustratedly. Maybe I can get some more sleep. When I'm right on the verge of passing out, my phone rings. I sigh and yank it out of my pocket, checking the time and my texts. It's 1:37 in the afternoon, so if I go to sleep, maybe I will stay asleep until like 6 or so. I open the text, and it reads:

From Tony: Hey gorgeous! :) What's up? c:

I groan unhappily. Before Vic took me back to the hotel suite to get my stuff and my car the day we went for breakfast, I listened to Mike's request and got everyone's numbers, Kellin included. After giving Vic multiple goodbye kisses and hugs, and reassuring him I'd text him the moment I got home, I sent a text to all of my new contacts; Mike, Jaime, Kellin, Tony, and Katelynne. I let them know this was my number, and thanked them all for a great breakfast. No one, except Tony, responded until later that night, and I didn't expect them to so quickly. But of course, Tony was the first to reply.
And now, he texts me nonstop.

To Tony: Hey, just chillin' on my bed. Texting Vic<3 What about you?(:
To Vic: Hey babe!<3 Whatcha doing? c:

I send both texts, and right before I set my phone down, I get another text.

From Katelynne: Hey girl, are you busy? c:

I text her back, and reluctantly get up from my soft bed. I walk to my bathroom, taking my phone and stuff from Vic's with me. I put my straighter and makeup back on the counter, and my shampoo and conditioner back in the shower. As I leave the bathroom, my phone rings three times back to back. I read the texts, in order of which they came.

From Vic: Hi love. <3 Miss you already! :c Mike and I are just shopping. :) What about you?
From Tony: Out shopping for new clothes with Jaime. :b
From Katelynne: Well, you should come shopping with me! I'll pay. ^.^

I smile happily at Vic's text, and reply to all three texts.

To Vic: I miss you too! <3 And I'm just getting ready to go shopping with Katelynne. c:
To Katelynne: Sure! ^.^ Where should I meet you?(:
To Tony: How come everyone's shopping today? xD Katelynne and I are gonna shop too, haha. :)

I dash into the bathroom, and quickly touch up my hair and makeup before checking my texts again.

From Vic: Oh, awesome. c: Have fun sweetheart, and text me when you get back. I have a surprise for you. c;
From Katelynne: I'm parked out front, got your address from Vic. :)

I wonder what surprise Vic has in store for me as I grab my black, small purse and run downstairs. When I step outside, Katelynne calls my name from inside a red convertible parked beside the curb. I smile and say hello as she sweeps me into a big hug. After pulling away, she quickly says, "Oh my gosh, I have the biggest news! Vic's the one who asked me to take you shopping, and of course, I jumped at the opportunity to spend more time with you. But I know why Vic asked me to take you shopping...don't tell him I told you!"
I laugh, and ask, curious, "Why does he want you to take me shopping?"
She smiles ecstatically, and replies, "So, you know how the boys are done touring for two months? Well, they always throw a huge party after tours, and Vic wants you to be his date. He wants you to meet all of our friends; Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, everyone!"
I gasp slightly, clearly shocked and excited. "So...I'll basically be in a room full of bands?" I ask, nervous as fuck.
Katelynne sticks her tongue out as she parks in front of a fancy store. "Basically," she replies, "But not a room, a club."
My jaw drops. "A club?" I ask, even more nervous.
She nods. "Where else would we fit all those people?" she says like it's no big deal, leading me into the large store.
"Hello Katelynne! What brings you here today?" a young woman asks from behind a clothing rack.
"Hey Sarah. This is Essence, and we have a party tonight. So, we'll be needing dresses, heels, jewelry, and makeup and hair done," Katelynne says. "Oh, and lingerie!"
She turns towards me with a grin plastered across her face, and she winks at me. I blush while Sarah replies, "So, I'm guessing a party at a club. And nice to meet you, Essence. Who might your date be for tonight?"
I smile, as shyly reply, "Nice to meet you too. And Vic Fuentes is my date."
She grins, "Good catch! Now, let me get you two a dressing room and some dresses." Katelynne interlocks her arm with mine, and we follow Sarah towards the back of the store.
