Later when Austin, Aaron, and Tino came back into the room, me and Alan were laughing at this horrible joke I saw on Tumblr once.

"What the hell is so funny?" Austin asked, beginning to chuckle at the scene in front of him.

"I don't know but it must be hilarious if it's got Alan snorting." Tino added. "Can you explain to us what's gotten you so worked up?"

"O-Okay, I'll try." I said and tried to calm myself down. "You guys might wanna sit for this one." Together they sat and leaned in. "Okay, so why can't bikes stand up on their own?" Alan broke down again.

"I don't know, why?" Austin asked.

"B-Because... they're two tired!" I finished and lost it, leaning on Alan so I wouldn't fall over. He was already leaning on me so we were just supporting each other. Austin started laughing along with us and Tino chuckled a bit.

"Aaron, why aren't you laughing? Don't you get it?" Tino asked.

"No, I get it. It's just not funny. Bad pun right there. Tumblr is the enemy. Anyways, I gotta go. My brother's at the airport and needs a ride. It was nice meeting you Ashleigh. Always great meeting a new fan." I stood up to give him a hug and Tino spoke up too.

"Yeah, I gotta go too. I have a date to get ready for." He smiled.

"Ohhhh. Tino's gettin' it in tonight." Alan howled.

Tino laughed and shook his head. "No, no, not that kind of date. A romantic one. I'm taking my girl out for a nice picnic and I want it to be nice." He went over to the spinning chair and grabbed him jacket. "Ashleigh, nice meeting you and sorry I was snappy when we first met. Bad first impression." He leaned in and gave me a hug.

"No worries, it's understandable." I smiled and soon he was off, following Aaron out the door.

"Yeah, I should probably get going too. I have a lot of stuff to unpack."

"Ah, well, we could help if you want?" Alan asked, glancing at Austin to make sure it was okay. He nodded.

"If you guys don't have anything else to do, sure. I don't care." I smoothed out my shirt and ran a hand through my hair.

"I know I don't, how about you, Austin?"

"Nope. I was actually gonna go over there after practice and ask if you needed help." He smiled.

"Aw, what a gentleman. Anyways, before we go over to your house, do you mind if we pick up some coffee on the way? I'm dying for some and I didn't get a good sleep last night." Alan asked. I was starting to get tired too and I knew I would crash if I even got near my bedroom or couch.

"Yeah, do you mind if I ride along? You always mess up my order when I send you for some." Austin asked, getting up.

"I'll stay here and wait, I guess." Getting out my wallet, I asked Alan, "Could you please get me a white chocolate mo-" I was cut off by someone walking in.

"Hey, we thought you guys would be done by now. We saw the cars outside but we're already a bit late. Hope you don't mind us being here." Said the guy with the spiky black hair. Holy fuck. I felt like I couldn't breathe and it wasn't the iron in my body this time.

That's Jaime fucking Preciado.
