Vic and Mike were having a barbeque at their house tonight since they had just got back from tour and wanted to see all of their friends. They were most excited to meet Jaime’s girlfriend; they had been dating for about 2 and half months and the rest of the band were yet to meet her.

“Jaime, when’s your lady getting here?” Mike asked.

“I’m picking her up from work at 5” Jaime replied. He had the largest smile on his face and every one of his friends could tell that this girl made him happy.

It soon turned 5pm and Jaime walked in to the boutique that Noelle owned. She owned a clothing line named ‘SIGNS’. Her store had just been refurbished and she was working many hours at the minute to make sure everything was going perfect.

“Hey you” Jaime whispered into Noelle’s ear as he walked behind the counter as she was serving a customer. The shop didn’t shut till 7 but Noelle was letting one of her employees close up.

“Hey you” Noelle repeated as she turned around and planted a kiss on Jaime’s lips.
“I’m so excited for you to finally meet the guys” He gushed as he went and sat on the couch at the side of the shop while Noelle grabbed her things from the back.

“I’m super excited to finally meet them” She couldn’t contain her excitement. Jaime had told her so much about his best friends and about his band. She knew their first names and a little bit about them but not enough to have an opinion of them already.

She was more than excited to meet them especially since Jaime had already met her friends and they all got along.

“Let’s go” Noelle said as she held out her hand for Jaime to hold onto. “See you tomorrow Tommy” She called out as she exited the store.

It was a short drive from the boutique to the Fuentes’ house. “We’re here” Jaime squealed “Ready?” He asked.

“Yes, let’s do this” Noelle clapped her hands together and jumped out of the car.

They held hands and went up to the door. Jaime let them in and they walked through the house to the kitchen. Vic was getting something out of the fridge when he heard Jaime enter the room.

“Hey, you’re back.” He smiled. “Vic, this is Noelle. Noelle, this is Vic” Jaime said as he pointed between the pair.

“It’s so nice to finally meet you” Vic started and pulled the brunette into a hug. “We’ve heard so much about you” Noelle blushed.

“All good things, I hope?”

“Nothing but good words have left this guy’s lips when it’s about you” Vic assured her. Noelle blushed again and the three of them made their way to the backyard

As they walked outside Erica noticed 3 other men and one blonde woman. One of the men were tending to the grill and didn’t turn around, he appeared to be on the phone as well.
“Noelle, this is Casey, Mal and Mike” Jaime said as he pointed to each of them. She greeted them all the same way that she had Vic and they showered her in hugs and compliments.

“And this, this is-“Jaime was cut off when Tony turned around and Noelle finished his sentence.

“Tony Perry” Noelle gasped but there was hint of anger in her voice.

“Hey No.” Tony said with shock and a sense of remorse in his voice.

“Don’t call me that. You can’t call me that” Noelle was getting angry at a rapid rate.

“I take it you guys have met then?” Jaime joked, trying to lighten the mood that was getting tense pretty quick.

“Something like that” Noelle replied. It came out a lot harsher than she meant it. She turned around and sat at the garden table next to Mal and sighed trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over.

Fuck. Shit. Fuck. Were the only things running through Noelle’s mind. She thought she would never see him again.

Notes

So I had this little idea running around and thought I would put it into words.

Feedback would be appreciated. I aim to update regularly. But if it's not updated it's probably because I'm still working on UNTIL THE END OF TIME. (You should check that one out if you haven't already haha)

Enjoy :)
